    The #Giants lost again, this time to the #Cards 5-6 at the #NegroLeague & #WillieMays tribute event at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, AL.

    What did we learn from this 5th loss in 7 games?

    1) The rookies Ramos (.307), Wisely (.296) & Bailey (.299) are the best hitters on the team. Ramos got a 3 run HR & Bailey was 4 for 5.

    2) Giants pitching s*cks -- giving up 3 runs in the 1st, 2 runs in the 3rd & another run in the 5th to give the Cards the lead 3-6 going into the 6th.

    3) The Giants hitters can hit, just not when it counts. 🤷‍♂️

    The Giants got 11 hits (4 more than the 7 by the Cards) but left 8 runners on base and only scored 3 out of 8 RISP.

    Worst case: The Giants scored 1 run in the top of the 6th with only 1 out to start the inning off but could only score 1 more run after the bases were loaded and there was still only 1 out. 🤦‍♂️

    Same old story and it's the main reason why the Giants are currently 36-40 in 9th place (out of 12) in the Wildcard race. 🤷‍♂️

    Go Giants!🥳

    #WillieMays who, IMO, was and still is the greatest MLB position player of all time, is supposed to be honored at a Negro League "tribute game" to be held in Birmington, AL (not far from his hometown) in June, 2024.

    Willie, who is 92 now, deserves it. I just hope he lives long enough to be there to enjoy the tribute in person.

    I just feel privileged to watch him play in his prime at Candlestick Park along with 4 other HOF players (McCovey, Marichal, Cepeda & Perry) when I was just a boy in the 50's & 60's.
