    There's no doubt that #Doval is not pitching well and that he walks batters all too much for a CLOSER who is expected to come in to STRIKE BATTERS OUT and to get quick 1-2-3 innings.

    That's rarely what Doval is able to do & below is an excellent analysis WHY Doval is having the problems he's been having in getting batters out.

    Doval fell into the role of "closer" a few years ago because because the Giants didn't have any better options but I think it's time to look for a REAL CLOSER because either the opposition has a better "book" on Doval & now know to just wait him out to get the walk or because, as the analysis below suggests, he really has no control or any idea where a pitch he throws will go & because he refuses to throw the pitches over which he has better control. 🤷‍♂️

    It's too late in the season to make the change now but IMO it's definitely something that should be done before the start of the 2025 season.

    Are you listening #Zaidi??? 🤔

    #Zaidi recently stated that he has "100% confidence" that the #Giants will make the playoffs this season.

    This just doesn't seem plausible. So, let's crunch the numbers.

    The Giants (56-57) are currently in 7th place in the "Wild Card Race" (WCR); 4 positions out of the $ to make the playoffs,

    The #Dbacks (60-52) are currently in the 3rd & last spot for a playoff bid.

    Assuming everything else stays the same (which, of course, it won't), lets say that the Dbacks play the next 50 games at 500 which will give them a season ending record of 85-77.

    In order for the Giants to surpass the Dbacks to place 3rd in the WCR, they'd have to win 30 games & go 11 games over 500 over the next 49 games left to them in the season.

    Given that the Giants have been under 500 for almost the entire season, what gives Zaidi the confidence that the Giants will make such a remarkable turnaround in their last 49 games??? 🤔

    Nothing IMO.🤷‍♂️

    So, I have "100% confidence" that Zaidi is full of 💩!!!

    Go Giants!!! 🥳

    What is #Zaidi smoking? 🤔

    "Zaidi spoke to the media after the Giants mostly stood pat at the deadline and said he felt the team has “the best rotation in baseball” and has the makings of a playoff team, despite currently being two games under .500 at 53-55 and four games out of a playoff spot."

    WFT???🤦‍♂️

    If you look at the Giants' transaction history, you can see that Zaidi has been moving pitchers around so quick that it'll make your head spin, especially if you're one of those pitchers.

    His greatest move was to trade Slater to the Reds to get Young back, who he then immediately placed on waivers & who was then claimed by the Mets. So, we got NOTHING for Slater. WTF?? 🤦‍♂️

    Zaidi's had more than enough time to develop the Giants into a competitive baseball team but has obviously failed in that effort .💩

    So, I think it's time to trade Zaidi!!! 👍

    Who do you have to talk to to make that happen? 🤔

    Larry are you listening??? 🍿

  15. Tech giant #Google is blocking links to California news outlets from search results

    Google has temporarily 💥blocked links from local news outlets in California💥 from appearing in search results
    in response to the advancement of a 🌟bill that would require tech companies to pay publications for links that articles share. 🌟
    The change applies only to some people using Google in California, though it is not clear how many.

    The 🔸California Journalism Preservation Act 🔸(CJPA) would require large online platforms to pay a “journalism usage fee”
    for linking to news sites based in the Golden state.
    The bill cleared the California assembly in 2023.
    To become law, it would need to pass in the Senate before being signed by the governor, Gavin Newsom.

    In a blog post published Friday, #Jaffer #Zaidi, Google’s 🔹head of global news partnerships,🔹 explained that the company is experimenting with removing local news links for a “small percentage” of California users in preparation for the bill potentially passing.

    "They have been unable to deliver economic growth to the poorest country in the Middle East and North Africa. The Houthis are also brutally repressive, torturing and executing journalists, arresting and detaining peaceful protesters, and restricting the rights of women and girls. Many Yemenis increasingly see the Houthis as driven by a desire to establish a totalitarian religious state that protects Zaidi elites’ power."
