You could try complaining about Bochy's support of famed PED users Ken Caminiti and Barry Bonds while he managed both at the height of their powers.
-
Feel free to pick those nits if you want.

At the time, there were lots of reports about his power outage and questions on how much he could provide. I believe Law stated that he had a decent line drive swing and that he'd be fine overall, but was just in need of a new position. The greatest concern was his bad defense at SS.
-
He was like the 4th ranked Braves prospect. A decent prospect for the deal. I'm not saying he was "ok" overall, just ok in terms of the deal. At the time of the deal, he would have been ranked somewhere in the Sox top 10. Maybe higher than Fitts?
-
Mayer is a higher rated prospect now than Grissom ever was.
-
^^^
-
He shouldn't own professional sports teams anymore if that would give him pause.
-
Probably. Lifetime ban for Verdugo please.
-
Who cares about the dead money if it's still not a top 10 payroll? Oh, but here's one bad deal. That means Henry will spend!
-
Giants fans don't deserve nice things.
-
As a pain pig myself, I'd love a game like that now. Need to make sure the umps are calling a very exact zone even if the game is out of reach too.
-
Do overs? Injury insurance?
-
2nd highest ticket prices and not even a top 10 payroll. Sad that anyone would be ok with this.
-
They are spending NOT ENOUGH. Henry has more money squirreled away that could help the ballclub.
-
How many darts to I get and how many incorrect guesses?
-
The new format makes more teams buyers than sellers in theory. If a team just below .500 thinks an addition or two can get them to the 3rd WC, they may now become a buyer. It has really turned the trade deadline into a massive sellers market.
-
I'm not sure. I believe the PTBNL needs to be on a list agreed to at the time of the trade so maybe not?
-
Roman Anthony won the Future Skills competition (scoring 91% of his points in the "swing for the fences" portion). Kyle Teel hit two doubles in the actual game.
-
I don't know how Verdugo ever grades out well defensively because whenever I'm paying attention he looks average with a propensity to make bonehead plays. I don't get it.
-
We were correct last season about Whitlock and Houck. This Spring, Houck showed off a revamped splitter which has helped get him through the lineup again and again. Whitlock also looked really great in the rotation early on, but his body just can't stay healthy. I don't know how he figured out to play defense. He was so bad a few years ago. Ok last season. He's been great this year. It just took him so long to get there and understand route running. Rafaela is still only hitting 691, 84 wRC+. That's worse than any JBJ year from 2015-20.
-
There's actually no proof that he's tightfisted at all. He'll spend when it's time! There's a long history of him spending!
-
I'm not saying it's impossible, just saying it's not surprising they are having a WS hangover.
-
Not out of reach, but the Dodgers are still not an easy matchup in LA. Easiest way to get to 4-2 would be to sweep the lowly Rockies.
-
Why? Isn't it more likely that the Astros just end up outlasting everyone else and winning that dumb division? The current 3rd WC spot is on pace for 90 wins. Don't think the Rangers can sneak in their with 84 this year.
-
People have to complain about something when the team that was projected by most posters to be .500 or below is 11 games over 500 at the AS Break and currently holding a playoff spot. Yeah, they haven't lost a series since like May, we need to complain about something!!!
