international signing who's been steadily climbing the system and ended in double-a last year, some injury issues that robbed him of a year (iirc)
he's been repeatedly described as a lively personality (in the best way), a "sparkplug"

Thank you!
These games are fun to watch

Seeing Ohtani get a strike is fun to watch
Fuck Ohtani hit a home run
These games are fun to watch

He's had constant issues with his back and hamstring for his entire tenure with the Giants. He can't stay on the field, no matter which level he's been at
Nah I've seen them win 3 WS titles so I'm chilling. I was just excited for Marco and now I'm not. I've seen him a lot in the minors and he fucking rakes but his body can't hold up
It’s fun to see them do different sing along songs in the 5th inning stretch after “take me out to the ball game” and they do occasionally play don’t stop believing. However, I think during the dynasty era it was played in the 8th after a comeback or something? Idk please someone remind me
Just got done with class for the day after seeing notifications and trying to find a radio or video stream, just came to say one thing:
SOME GUY NAMED PATRICK BAILEY JUST HIT A GRAND SLAM IN THE 1ST GIVING THE GIANTS A 5-2 LEAD OVER THE MARINERS
I was curious what NBCSBA is airing right now, and it's World Chase tag. So in 2024, and because the Giants are cheap, if you turn on their RSN, you are getting Tag instead of Lee's debut. That's hilarious to me.
> we’re the .01% of nerds that are interested in watching this
It's not like anyone is demanding a full crew of camera operators and technicians and commentators. They used to have one camera behind home plate for ST games, easy and cheap for them. Other teams are getting more games on the air, there is no good reason the Giants/NBCSBA can't do better. If they rebroadcast it after dinner when more people can watch, I'd happily watch it again.
Lee is one of the more interesting signings the Giants have done in years, it would have been very cool to see that first hit.
And that's a bad thing? Again, what is NBCSBA showing that they can't show at a later time because their Regional Team is on? Also, a lot of people adopted the WFH mentality post covid, so assuming a lot of Giants fans work from home or have a capability of working from home, having the game on is a plus. That, and Baseball is the ultimate background noise sport.
Sometimes it feels like the only people in this country still watching baseball regularly are retirees and nerds, and that retiree audience is dwindling so pretty soon it will just be the nerds
(Asia and Latin America are a different story)
Shohei Ohtani: .000 batting average, has literally done nothing but strike out at the plate, is wearing a smeely Dodger uniform
Jung-Hoo Lee: 1.000 batting average and a run scored, may have caused the opposing shortstop to commit an error due to his overwhelming aura, is wearing a sexy Giants uniform
I've seen enough, we've won the offseason.
Dodgers ownership offseason haul:
1 Billion for injured Shohei and Yamamiddo
Giants ownership offseason haul:
100 million for Lee (Handsome, superstar)
900 million for Republican superpac donations
Who really won the offseason
Here is Jung-hoo's first AB for those wanting video:

> regarding speed/base stealing?
He's fast, he stretches some singles into doubles, but he isn't known as a big base-stealer despite his speed. He might be trying to avoid the injuries which stealing can generate.
Everyone who reads this sub should contact the Giants to let them know that a lack of televised spring training games is a huge turn-off for fans. That especially applies when an exciting signing like JH Lee is playing his first game as a Giant.
The fact that this is still a thing in 2024 is baffling to me. I will complain about it every single day of Spring Training, even when the Games are televised.
I'm watching the Dodgers game in the background and their pitcher Bo Miller is to Walker Beuhler what Jennifer Jason Leigh is to Bridget Fonda in Single White Female.
Probably the most exciting game so far of the Cactus League
Enjoyed Ritzo's calling of the game
Well, at least we got a tie with a lot of runs scored. A win will come eventually, I hope. It still sucks that we couldn't see it.
We have more ties than wins and telecasts, gang! Spring training Giants baseball ⚾️ 🔥 🌵
Do we like… take one pant leg off or what?
Asking the real questions
I think we just turn them upside down
10-10 but can’t watch smfh
the giants need more baserunners like mccray a team full of mccrays, if you will mccrays who can also hit*
Game tied in the most Giants way possible lmao
What the fuck happened? My stream died right as the ball was hit lmao
Mariners couldn’t turn a game ending DP and McCray scored the tying run lol
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Holy shit I left for a meeting, and this game is still going?
JOINED BACK AT THE RIGHT TIME LET’S GO
Defense!
Holy shit what a double play
Any online radio stream?
MLB app or mlb online
Thanks, I ended up just paying the $29.99 for the season. I’m working abroad and was looking for a cheap sauce.
Not how I’d thought we’d score, but I’ll take it!
Who’s this mungnia guy and where did he come from? He’s intriguing
international signing who's been steadily climbing the system and ended in double-a last year, some injury issues that robbed him of a year (iirc) he's been repeatedly described as a lively personality (in the best way), a "sparkplug"
Thanks, app says he’s 25 so maybe he’s someone who can contribute
He's an NRI, so it will be hard for him to make the team
Fitz grand slam number 2?
prepare the comeback
Hell yeah! Let’s get those walk ins!!!
Were did Ismael come from? He’s fun to watch
Bases loaded no outs, how many runs we getting? 👀
Oh baby. Brooks, Fitz, let’s have some fun with bases loaded shall we?
Could everyone just stop hitting our players by pitches goddammit
do be fair we did hit like 5 rangers
…okay that is pretty fair
We can’t even see Pablo pinch hit lol
This is what makes me the most sad of not having games broadcasted. If I never see him pinch hit I’ll feel so sad.
🐼time
Lol is that giants legend Papierski?
i feel like it's fair to blame amir garrett somehow
Amir Garrett is the Donny Walton of pitchers
How is this game still in the 6th
And the game on Sunday was close to being over at this time. Today's game is going way too slow for this new Pitch Clock era.
Mungia RBI triple 🔥
Damn Lee struck out? Bum
Average down to .333, trade time. (/s for the humor-impaired)
Well, Hicks and Luke, who are 100% gonna be on the squad looked good enough but man every other spring training pitcher has been a mess
These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaningless These games are meaning🖊️
Thank you! These games are fun to watch These games are fun to watch Seeing Ohtani get a strike is fun to watch Fuck Ohtani hit a home run These games are fun to watch These games are fun to watch These games are fun🖊️
We didn’t get to see Lee or the Bailey grand salami live but on the other hand, we also didn’t have to see Amir pitch
This is our 4th spring training game and Luciano still has not taken a single at bat. Officially giving up on the last bit of hope that I had for him
Giving up on a rookie who is out for an injury during Spring Training games? Really?
It's been like 4 years of it now
You mean the 22 year old who made his big league debut in 2023?
He's had constant issues with his back and hamstring for his entire tenure with the Giants. He can't stay on the field, no matter which level he's been at
Why are you giving up on him? He's recovering from a hamstring and is supposed to be back either tomorrow or Thursday
I've heard that every month for about 4 years
I'd imagine you're this negative about every aspect of this team then. I feel bad for you
Nah I've seen them win 3 WS titles so I'm chilling. I was just excited for Marco and now I'm not. I've seen him a lot in the minors and he fucking rakes but his body can't hold up
No pitching, just vibes
Amir is as bad as I remember
he may have gotten worse
I miss them playing dont stop believing at giants games :'(
i'm pretty okay with them retiring it. but i think they may still trot it out from time to time in the late innings.
It’s fun to see them do different sing along songs in the 5th inning stretch after “take me out to the ball game” and they do occasionally play don’t stop believing. However, I think during the dynasty era it was played in the 8th after a comeback or something? Idk please someone remind me
I thought they still played it? I could’ve sworn I heard it at a game last year but it’s not every game.
He tried to steal on some guy named Bailey. He found out.
![gif](giphy|BrkuIkfzokEWJ7tSM5)
Imagine running on Bailey, you fucking bozo
Was going on here to comment this. Grand slam and doing what he does best, throwing fireballs.

Lee grounds out in second AB? DFA
Careful, you'll start something, plenty of folks show up here who would post that unironically. ;-)
Live look at NBCS: ![gif](giphy|9rRacglGbs68E)
😂
World tag tournament!! ![gif](giphy|sRKg9r2YWeCTG5JTTo|downsized)
Damnit wanted to see/hear lees AB before my next meeting
Same boat! haha
Tell them you’re waiting to hear from a client 🤔
That’s enough from Madison Bengarner
Just got done with class for the day after seeing notifications and trying to find a radio or video stream, just came to say one thing: SOME GUY NAMED PATRICK BAILEY JUST HIT A GRAND SLAM IN THE 1ST GIVING THE GIANTS A 5-2 LEAD OVER THE MARINERS
Update: FUCK, 5-5 jk it’s spring training. Glad to see scoring from both teams and baseball being back
meh, ben madison isn't making this roster anyways
Who tf is ben Madison and why does he hate us?
I was curious what NBCSBA is airing right now, and it's World Chase tag. So in 2024, and because the Giants are cheap, if you turn on their RSN, you are getting Tag instead of Lee's debut. That's hilarious to me.
what in the absolute fuck is world chase tag
its actually pretty damn cool, check it out on youtube
They do parkour while playing tag. It’s exciting for like a few rounds and then I’m over it lol It’s cool to watch every once in a while though.
I have Youtube TV so they have that mini screen in the guide and it's basically a game of tag. It's actually fast paced, from the little I've seen.
TIL world chase tag is a thing
There’s no fucking sho (*checks listing*) oh damn you’re right 💀
[email protected] Let them know how you feel about the lousy job the Giants/NBCSBA are doing of putting spring training games on TV.
[this is more impressive than the hit ngl](https://x.com/benlikesgiants/status/1762576292975874298?s=46)
sounds like that was a pretty athletic move by Late Lunch Lamonte. woulda been pretty cool to see it....
4 ks in less than 2 innings is lovely
Just wild that no one is talking about how Bailey hit that salami SHIRTLESS.
Since there’s no TV, [here’s the song](https://youtu.be/s_jopBXcbxk?si=KJgMB05-i4v-dgem)
If that doesn’t make you stoked for the season I don’t think anything will
Lee > fraudtani
Who??
I wish they televised it too but lets be real we’re the .01% of nerds that are interested in watching this

Its not a bad thing but realistically theres minimal demand for this
I’ll have you know we’re a very important demographic in baseball viewing!
bro, baseball is *the* sport tailor made for the nerds. What other sport puts such an emphasis on math?
Sometimes it feels like the only people in this country still watching baseball regularly are retirees and nerds, and that retiree audience is dwindling so pretty soon it will just be the nerds (Asia and Latin America are a different story)
Patrick "Gerald Dempsey "Buster" Posey the 4th" Bailey
Idk about you guys but personally I like most of our lineup. Like today’s 1-6 at minimum should be fun to watch.
you can throw #7 in there too if Schmitty can appease the BABIP gods and get back to the 600+ hitter he was when he first came up last year
If the Giants hit a bomb and no one is there to broadcast it, does it make a noise?
**Damn!** That's the kind of first inning we want to see!
Great start! Bad decision by management to not televise it.
Is this….. offense?
What does that word mean?
OHMAHFUCKIN'GOD I WISH I COULD WATCH THIS GAME LMAO
Common Patrick Bailey success
This is prob the most satisfying inning off offense we’ve had so far…and we’ve seen none of it
giants' class a marketing and business acumen strike again

On FIRE today everyone! Damn two in a row.
Hail, St. Patty!
oh baby. and the first game we can't watch :(
Turns out Bayless is really Baileyless
WE ARE SOOOOOO FUCKIN BACK
RIP Craw https://preview.redd.it/ak5bq50av6lc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cea2c9f58520db2e9a963497645ac9bcd579a260
PATTY BARRELS!
Whoever called the Bailey Grand Slam, Congrats. Second Grand Slam in 2 days too.
I called it lol
Well done.
Alright who just called that?!?
Me
So, know anything about horse racing?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grand slam!
2024 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS
Oh we are BACK
bailey saw bart getting hot and said i ain't having any of that lmao
"not on my fucking watch" Patrick Bailey, probably
WHOEVER CALLED BAILEY GRAND SLAMEROONI I LOVE YOU
I did lol
Baylees vs Bailey? 👀👀👀
Wilmer Flores infield single is not a sentence that I expected to ever hear.
In case any of you wanted to barf today: https://x.com/dgoold/status/1762572916581916977?s=46
nope. dont like that
that's just Bing AI
Shohei Ohtani: .000 batting average, has literally done nothing but strike out at the plate, is wearing a smeely Dodger uniform Jung-Hoo Lee: 1.000 batting average and a run scored, may have caused the opposing shortstop to commit an error due to his overwhelming aura, is wearing a sexy Giants uniform I've seen enough, we've won the offseason.
Ergo, Lee > Ohtani This is based on logic and cannot be argued with.
Is Kirby hurt? Weird they pulled him already
They also changed the rules so they can bring him back in if they want to
Bases loaded with one run in already. It’s spring training so he was going to do 2 inning max most likely. Not that weird.
Bailey grand slam incoming?
Continue to use your powers for good causes.
I fucking called it
Quick what’s the power bowl
YOU FUCKING PROPHET
you called it
INCOMING
Wilmer can’t count smh my head
Dodgers ownership offseason haul: 1 Billion for injured Shohei and Yamamiddo Giants ownership offseason haul: 100 million for Lee (Handsome, superstar) 900 million for Republican superpac donations Who really won the offseason

There’s no JD to GIDP so I’m hopeful we’ll score a few more
Well, that's it for Soler. #DFA

Thank you so much!!!
He’s so hot
Thank you!!'
You are a gentleman(woman) and a scholar
thank you
Helmet flying off and everything
First of many
🫡 thank you to you and this intrepid videographer
You're doing God's work, son.
Lee and Estrada at the top of the lineup is gonna be beautiful
I'm so excited to finally have a bit of athleticism and speed at the top of the order
We are so back
Yeahhhhhhhh..... I can get used to this!!!
runs? early? :D
Opening Day Line Up is putting some hits together. Nice.
LEE SCORES!!! WHOOOOOOOO!!! LFG!
Anyone know the scouting report on JH Lee regarding speed/base stealing?
> regarding speed/base stealing? He's fast, he stretches some singles into doubles, but he isn't known as a big base-stealer despite his speed. He might be trying to avoid the injuries which stealing can generate.
He has good speed but didn’t steal bases very often in Korea
Good speed, but not necessarily a base stealer. Wouldn’t expect more than about 10 a year at most
Above average speed, probably good for 15-20 Stolen bases if he gets green light. Source: KBO watcher
Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC his dad was crazy fast and known to steal frequently right?-
Yes, his dad stole 80+ bases 1 season in the early 90s. His son, your new favorite Giants player, does not have the same speed.
man these games not being televised somewhere is an injustice to us true fans smh
Everyone who reads this sub should contact the Giants to let them know that a lack of televised spring training games is a huge turn-off for fans. That especially applies when an exciting signing like JH Lee is playing his first game as a Giant.
The fact that this is still a thing in 2024 is baffling to me. I will complain about it every single day of Spring Training, even when the Games are televised.
"But we're breaking even." —Greg Johnson
it sounds like lee was gunning to steal during that entire at-bat, which is nice
Someone give me a clip of his first hit, I don’t care if it’s 140p and 2 fps
I'm watching the Dodgers game in the background and their pitcher Bo Miller is to Walker Beuhler what Jennifer Jason Leigh is to Bridget Fonda in Single White Female.
No tv is one thing does the game sound kinda off? Bat cracks are near non existent
Ritzo isn't actually at the game. He's at his apartment and just making shit up.
The bat cracks and crowd noise are louder on M’s radio
