It's so hard to appreciate likely one of the greatest hitting stretches of all time when it comes at the benefit of a team I hate with every fiber of my being.

another?!??

Getting the band back together

Only John Gibbons has a worse challenge success rate than Brandon Hyde among managers with more than 4 seasons as manager since review was introduced. Sure, some could have been close calls that didn't get overturned, but that doesn't excuse a success rate of 40.5%

😅 the swap part was mostly posted in jest. I'm def on the Richardson to the O's train though

Games 2 and 3 of the ALDS in 2023, I had to listen on the radio while walking the neighborhood. I couldn't handle sitting still on the couch watching. If they made it to the WS I think I might need sedation.

(apologies if this is old new already, didn't realize this was from yesterday morning)

If this was the type of guy they were looking for, Manso never actually had a chance. The way Albernaz talks about baseball is unlike anything I can remember from Hyde or Mansolino.

It sounds like he had a ton of experience working with pitchers, both as a catcher and almost a psuedo extra pitching coach.

He talks a lot about several Giants pitchers and why they were good at the time and how they were able to get there. Can't remember Hyde ever using this detail with pitchers

They were on the Giants staff together from 2020-2023
