That's the main reason the Dream Team was put together. It was to globalize basketball and the NBA.

@@Savethepeople2004 - You like him? I only saw the one AB today where he struck out. But I noticed they have him in center. I need to do some research on him.

@@bspn Derek has high energy and moves well- so like the opposite of Austin Slater 😕

@@stucklikechuck9556 - We took that last year.

Davis probably won't see this, but I wanted to verify what he was talking about. He was saying that when he was a kid and really started following the Giants, it was during the Bonds drama. He didn't really judge Bonds at all. Was just saying this is what he heard and what he was told.

@@bspn Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate it. I am a Gen X kid, I have watched and followed Barry Bonds his whole career. And I know it is probably just personal to me, but it is sad that the young adults (Millennials and Gen Z) are growing up hearing things like Bonds was a cheater. I wonder what future generations would think if the media and Sports Writers would have wrote articles about how Shohei Ohtani was a horrible gambler (which I do believe he did participate in) during his gambling controversy? Instead, since the media loves him, all there articles are about how he was a victim. Maybe the Dodgers "Golden Boy" should have had the same dark shadow cast on his career like they did to Barry Bonds? But I am willing to bet that eventually Shohei Ohtani gets in the Hall of Fame. But will they give the same respect to a player who records Ohtani won't be close to touching? I guess we will see... [SIDE NOTE] I do not know if Davis will read this or not... but I want to say "sorry" Davis. I shouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that you though of Bonds as a "cheater." I just feel bad for the guy. He is (in my opinion) the greatest player of all time.

@@RobertThornock - I think the Bay Area's point of view is vastly different from the national view of Bonds. We love him. And I bet you that if you ask him and he's being honest, he probably thinks he handled some things the wrong way. I remember being there real time and hoping he just showed a little bit of regret. But you're 100% right that there are folks in the Hall of Fame who definitely cheated. They just weren't under the same magnifying glass.

@@RobertThornock@bspn As a fan I don’t want to believe what Bonds has been accused of. But I also believe in not being biased because of my fandom, especially when on a show like this. It’s important to hold people accountable for their good and bad. Doesn’t make me think he’s less of a player, he’s still one of the greatest to ever play, performance enhanced or not.

Good fourth outfielder should be on his tombstone.

@@bspn u r out of your dang mind tho. A good fourth outfielder is Reggie sanders or stan Javier. Austin Slater is logjammin the roster and the plot is ludicrous.

@@rapalbumdepot7648 - The way they play ball, he’s been helpful. My point is, he’s not a starting player, so when he has to start, you see all the flaws.

@@bspn A ballplayer occupying the last roster spot are meant to be temporary unless you are dealing with a pinch hitting specialist like Lenny Webster or something. Slater would have been a decent offensive player if he could hit for power and/or be a burner on the basepaths.

@@rapalbumdepot7648 - I don’t disagree. But there was no one better than him in those spots. I’m not sure Matos is but I guess they need to give him the shot.

@@michaelrotter1134 - Which means he’s tired!

@@bspn no it does not. He straight up said when asked that he was not tired. That was said during the post game interview. I'm sorry but I e been hearing g nothing but negative

@@michaelrotter1134 - Hicks has been great. He’s never thrown this many innings before. It’s totally expected that he’s going to deal with some things. He deserves to be able to give reasons for some average performances.

@@michaelrotter1134 - Who said he wasn’t? He’s a less than average SS defensively, but he’s been a boon offensively.

@@bspn He has been above average compared to anyone else we've used

@@michaelrotter1134 - Ahmed is miles ahead of him as a defender. Wisely isn’t a SS.

@@michaelrotter1134 - That was the line in the chat. Either folks thought he had to because his job is on the line, or he won’t because he doesn’t normally.

And to top it all off we got Wade and Lee injured ALONG WITH a rotation that is running on fumes. The end result is a team that has trouble winning a single game 👈 If it were up to me I would go out and get somebody to go play CF and shift Ramos to corner OF. My ideas for upgrading CF defense are Mauricio Dubon or Mike Tauchman or Harrison Bader

It’s also not happening every game.

Go look up Angel Reese’s socials. She’s a big deal.

I’m not sure this comment makes much sense as written. What are you trying to say?

Who is the racist player here?

Hard fouls happen all the time.

That hasn't ever worked in any league. Leagues have succeeded by all standing together for their rights and leverage, not make it easy for one particular player.

That’s the way to gain your respect right there.

Teammates should’ve come through to get her for sure.

​@@bspnyou're a tool

You can always learn.

that's just not true. plenty of people have known. there were fans before she came to the W. are there more now, sure. and not just because of her. other players have fans too. just because you are just now watching doesn't mean other people haven't been watching.

also, who do you think these rookies aspired to be like in the WNBA. you don't think as little girls they weren't watching the legends? dude...

@@portlandgeek respectfully... Yes, there are fans of the WNBA who have been around since before this year, but not a significant number of people. I live in a state where the high school basketball tournament is a major draw and before this year I would say there were more fans in the arena for a high school tournament than there were for a daily WNBA game. And yes, I have been to WNBA games. If you think CC hasn't made an extreme change you are lying to yourself.

@@portlandgeek legends of their own little word, absolutely. If the average sports fan or even basketball fan, in general has no idea who you are you're not a legend. You're a fan. I get it. I'm a fan. I'm talking general real world knowledge... No one knows who they are, and that's ok. But Caitlyn Clark, whether she's trying to or not, is changing all that.

That’s not how sports works. This isn’t WWE. It has to be as organic as possible. No free layups.

@@bspn cant be organic if they preplanning against her. Then there creeps in the jealousy and hate. Then they have the audacity to keep complaining. Again take in all the publicity that is coming thier way right now and build off of that. Of course its not working out that way. Again low level entertainment.

@@domino2098 - Go back and watch the NBA. MJ hates Isiah to this day for what he considered harsh treatment. WNBA is on the come up whether you like it or not.

@@bspn hahaha!! "F" MJ my personal opinion. Im not disagreeing they on the come up but if they dont seize this moment and take in everything pay, exposure, headlining etc.. They going to miss out on this opportunity and continue to be low level. They all need to step thier game up because now the people are watching thanks to Caitlin.

@@domino2098 - I do worry a bit that the league wasn't ready for all the publicity, but I think this is the new beginning. We'll have to come back to this next year at this time to really know.

Definitely part of the deal. No team is ever 100%. They have to figure out how to deal with it better.

We'll still do it because we enjoy it and it was our pandemic thing. We're not doing it now because we're not going live since we're doing the shows for Bleacher Report.

@@bspn We drink because we're Giants fans

What do you mean? Is there a specific place? If it's on the left side it's probably because I (GG) was bouncing me knee.

@@bspn NO the stream stops rewinds a few secs and restarts from that spot

@@michaelrotter1134 Not seeing an issue. Maybe reboot the device you're watching it on? Or try a different device to see if the same thing is happening.

@@evans5150 It was happening on my laptop and my cellphone...so idk. It might just be a RUclips thing

He is a special case. He’s got a spot as long as injuries at the catcher position are there. But he’s definitely a DH only candidate in the future. Probably trade bait.

Good to know. Thanks!

Yeah, I had in my head it was a day later. I’m old and tired this week. Give me a break…hahaha

@@evans5150 Well I just turned 70 lol

@@michaelrotter1134 I’m 50 with 2 teenaged girls. Send caffeine.

@@evans5150 I raised 4 boys and they're having girls 5 of them all under 6

(I really really like watching good SS defense and good CF defense)

It's not his money. If anyone is cheap, it's directly from ownership.

Do you trust Casey to hit at all in the bigs?

His defensive metrics last year were pretty rough at SS. I do think he gets a shot at 3B next season if Chapman doesn’t re-sign.

@@bspn we won the 1989 NL pennant with Uribe at SS so...

@@evans5150 Defensive metrics arent as accurate as the hitting and pitching metrics- which themselves are overrated. The guy can play and is a smart ballplayer.

​@@evans5150There are only a handful of Giants SS I have seen in my life that are at the level defensively of Casey Schmitt- ballplayers like Jose Uribe (RIP) and Juan Uribe and Brandon Crawford and Omar Vizquel and perhaps even Mike Benjamin. That's literally it- I mean I started following Giants in summer of 1989 and I KNOW Schmitt is that dude defensively. Period. My point is this guy Schmitt needs to be starting for Frisco because he has that Humm Baby get-up-and-go attitude !!!

I think it would mean selling off those guys.
