It's probably time to admit that Landen Roupp, who walks over 4 per 9 innings, isn't good.

"Straight-up, it just sucks." Can't say I've watched a ton of the Giants postgame shows this season (for obv reasons) but this is the first time I've seen Sergio Romo actually speak his mind about this disaster of a team.
Watching Haaland is like watching a youth game where one kid is a foot taller than everyone else and the parents are openly questioning whether they're in the right age group.
Pretty funny how multiple Fox analysts said before the game that Cape Verde had absolutely zero chance today against Argentina.
It’s not just the wiped-away goals and lengthy VAR reviews, but the refs seem like they live for calling offside. Enjoying those moments a bit too much, like a hall monitor writing up a tardy slip when you enter class 3 seconds after the bell rings.
Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo
You know what? It’s true, they aren’t good at baseball. I wasn’t aware of this until now.
The giants could bench/trade/get rid of every pitcher that decided to make a statement and I guarantee you won’t see much of a change in their stellar 40% win rate
The Giants could've done the bare minimum to help people who feel marginalized feel a little better on Friday night. But a handful of pitchers thought that was too much. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...
Giants pitchers’ Bible verses on Pride Night caps show how they’ve missed the point
To focus on the perceived sin, Landen Roupp and other Giants pitchers had to step over so much that they professed to believe.

Just based off twitter interactions when I was still on there, tonight’s misery couldn’t have happened to a more deserving NBA fanbase.
It’s probably fair to say that Chet is the league’s most overrated player. Well, he was, anyway.
This young Spurs squad is mentally strong. That quarter could've gone totally sideways. If they don't win this game, the only way they don't win a title next year is if Wemby gets hurt (duh)
Thunder crashing the glass is the story. Crushing the Spurs on every miss. 26-12 rebounding advantage is wild
It's hard to believe that Harrison Barnes is getting Game 7 minutes 10 years after THAT Game 7.
Draymond would've had to watch the next game from a suite at a baseball stadium if he threw the same elbow Wemby just did lol
The Giants seem like their pregame plan is to find different, more interesting ways to lose so they can avoid the conversation about hip thrusts by lousy outfielders.
When Luis Arraez was growing up on the outskirts of San Felipe, Venezuela, only one other MLB player had come from his area: Marco Scutaro. As another undervalued contact hitter who had to fight for a pro contract, Scutaro showed Arraez what was possible. Their story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...
Rainmakers: Marco Scutaro showed Luis Arraez what was possible for a kid from small-town Venezuela
Arraez grew up watching Scutaro, who believes in his fellow countryman: "The Giants will love him and he'll stay here for a while."

Didn't know there was an electrical substation near the Broncos' practice facility
Stunner: Broncos coach Sean Payton just announced QB Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle and is out for the season.
The Eagles must've despised each other to levels rarely seen in pro sports and been dysfunctional as hell to lose to this shell of a 49ers team.
Kyle looking for one last catastrophic injury to take him into the offseason (why is Purdy still playing)
Aaron Rodgers bounced off that cornerback like a toddler trying to tackle a Great Dane
Juice turning into Travis Kelce for a half hour wasn't on my bingo card.
There were so many "how did that happen" things about that game.
The 49ers committed one "penalty" (a very dubious personal foul for unnecessary roughness) the entire game. That's incredible.
Declining to talk is an unusual move for him.
A.J. Brown declined to talk to reporters and left the locker room.
The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles' video highlight package should be a loop of A.J. Brown arguing with Nick Sirianni.
Honestly the Jets should sign Jauan Jennings as a QB. It's not like anything else they've tried has worked.
Despite the 49ers getting fully outplayed in most areas, they still somehow could've won this (or at least been in position to) if Yetur Gross-Matos had recovered that fumble. Seattle took advantage of the tipped pass + CMC bobble, though.
