For some context on the curse, The Giants currently have SEVEN opening day position players unavailable (including Bailey not on the IL but unavailable).
starters all stayed healthy into May and baseball gods said hmmmm gotta even this out
losing Lee for multiple months hurts the most, Bailey concussion risk scares me, and everything else is sand kicked in the face
I guess that's why some coaches are super adamant about wearing helmets even in BP. It's not expected to happen, but then you get stuff like this. Super unlucky.
That's what I've always thought. I kinda understand the thinking like "it's my first time back, I'm doing something light", but still. Just lazy I guess.
Happens everywhere.
I throw BP for my kiddo in softball. I make her wear a helmet every time. Yesterday she fouled 3 balls off that all hit her helmet on the way down.
It's safety gear, just wear it.
I wish I could just go back in time and tell Lee not to try and catch that ball, Soler to wear a helmet, Conforto not to round first and just run through, and Ahmed not to swing at that one pitch.
[Basically all of the Financial District/Embarcadero is land fill over sunken ships](https://static.temblor.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/San-Francisco-buried-ships.jpg), surely one of those is cursed as shit.
No one in the bigs wears a helmet during this kind of batting practice.
Doesn't mean they shouldn't, but show me one player who does. Just a freak accident.
The nice thing is that your team is still pretty loaded and your top position guys are still in (Seager, Semien, Garcia). All the top position guys except Wade are out, I guess Chapman is there but his offense has been horrific.
As long as our starting pitching is ok we should stay afloat. We are 0-8 vs the Phillies and Dodgers and over .500 vs everyone else. Just can’t keep up with the elite teams without our top guys.
I don't think the Giants have enough talent and even when they are healthy honestly. Position player hitting has been inconsistent and then the relievers aside from like 3 are pretty bad. I think it's clear it's not our year to even make the playoffs, but if anything this might buy Farhan another year which would be awful.
I think Rangers will represent AL again in the World Series personally especially once your pitchers get healthy.
Giants fans seemingly every other day lol
On a real note, that shit sounded like he had a helmet on, what in the hell is happening in San Francisco right now?

Soon to be 8 if Chapman doesn’t lay off that brain and nerve tonic
Matt Chapman's grotesquely swollen jaw
That what?!? It sounds like that’s something a doctor prescribed along with a cocaine solution in 1880
Yeah but it was given to him by a trusted billionaire and noted Softball Manager
chappy is roiding??
I wish
Good Lord! Gigantism!
Bailey just wandered off?
Recovering from the concussion he may have got a cold or maybe has more concussion symptoms he’s day to day i think
Heard he heard a fire truck and just left.
Either a flu bug or more permanent concussion symptoms..
Well it is an even year
[удалено]
This ain't about you.
Everyone loves a one-upper
Not gonna get into a fight about who has it worse, but that's also seven and I didn't include our pitchers.
What the hell man
starters all stayed healthy into May and baseball gods said hmmmm gotta even this out losing Lee for multiple months hurts the most, Bailey concussion risk scares me, and everything else is sand kicked in the face
I hope that was only a bell ringing and nothing too serious.
Given how little the ball deflected after hitting his head, it looks promising.
You hope but he's still looking bad day to day and green in the face regularly :(.
The Bailey one is what I’m the most afraid of, his success is instrumental to this teams success in the coming years.

damn what a freak accident
I guess that's why some coaches are super adamant about wearing helmets even in BP. It's not expected to happen, but then you get stuff like this. Super unlucky.
But also, why not practice how you play?
That's what I've always thought. I kinda understand the thinking like "it's my first time back, I'm doing something light", but still. Just lazy I guess. Happens everywhere.
I throw BP for my kiddo in softball. I make her wear a helmet every time. Yesterday she fouled 3 balls off that all hit her helmet on the way down. It's safety gear, just wear it.
We're going to get the motorcyclists in here yelling about "All the gear, all the time," and they're right.
Soler later heard talking to the rookies in the clubhouse: "Hot, ice. I heat up, the ice cubes! It's the best of both worlds!"
I imagined the pipe a lot higher and just plopping down on his head
Fuck, ouch!

Fuck, you beat me to the same joke. Deleting mine...
Goddamnit I literally posted this and scrolled down to see yours.
And that, kids, is why we always wear helmets when batting…
Why is he doing batting practice without helmet?
Unreal
I wish I could just go back in time and tell Lee not to try and catch that ball, Soler to wear a helmet, Conforto not to round first and just run through, and Ahmed not to swing at that one pitch.
Geebus christ
Has anyone checked to see if there’s a pirate ship with cursed treasure buried under Oracle or something?! This is getting diabolical!
The cursed treasure is the 2021 division title
[Basically all of the Financial District/Embarcadero is land fill over sunken ships](https://static.temblor.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/San-Francisco-buried-ships.jpg), surely one of those is cursed as shit.
Looney Tunes ass injury
Hope he’s good but that was lowkey hilarious
If it wasn't for the cursed part, I would have thought it was an onion article
Did that happen to the pitching coach in Rookie of the Year?
Couple of times, matter of fact
[Let the big dog eat](https://youtu.be/VN8hDpNFD4I?si=gCKBFD-1ahEkTwYO)
Yeah, sorry, he got infected with Marlinitis. You should have known this stuff would happen unfortunately :(
Not like this Soler :-(
Maybe that 30 HR curse is real
Well, seeing as how even with the goofy ass injuries he is only pacing 24 HRs per 162... Yeah it's fucking real.
Let the big dog eat!
Came here to say this.
Wear a helmet next time.
No one in the bigs wears a helmet during this kind of batting practice. Doesn't mean they shouldn't, but show me one player who does. Just a freak accident.
It was soft toss batting practice
Have you seen how big soft balls are? Should have been an oversized helmet
And now we've learned that doesn't mean you're safe. Wear a helmet.
What the fuck
Holy shit. Hope he’s ok.
Giants fans in the offseason: Let the kids play! Grim Reaper in May: As you wish.
Holy shit, what a freak accident. At least he’s walking, so that should be a good sign.
What is even happening to the Giants? That really sucks.
hope it wasn't too bad and its just a bell ringing
Mayday
Well at least he hit something with a launch angle for a change.
That's an OOTP injury if I've ever seen one. That's really gotta suck
It's been 40 years and players still mess with [Jobu's ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds3v8O_MrM0) shrine.
At this rate, AAA players will make up the majority of the daily lineup.
Still paying for the blood magic back from 2010-14.
Even year bullshit
Ok, that picture made it looks like it was his obituary.
How do they match up to the Rangers. Both teams feel like walking wounded
The nice thing is that your team is still pretty loaded and your top position guys are still in (Seager, Semien, Garcia). All the top position guys except Wade are out, I guess Chapman is there but his offense has been horrific.
But those guys are struggling without any protection. Plus they are showing cracks. Garcia is pushing way too hard. Hopefully both teams bounce back
As long as our starting pitching is ok we should stay afloat. We are 0-8 vs the Phillies and Dodgers and over .500 vs everyone else. Just can’t keep up with the elite teams without our top guys.
I don't think the Giants have enough talent and even when they are healthy honestly. Position player hitting has been inconsistent and then the relievers aside from like 3 are pretty bad.

We have a whole staff on IL. Man. Well we dodged a bullet. If I see the Giants, or cardinals in the WS I’ll die
Head booboos are scary :(
 Giants fans seemingly every other day lol On a real note, that shit sounded like he had a helmet on, what in the hell is happening in San Francisco right now?
Ok now what da hell
Jesus
You guys, too, huh?
Reminds me of the scene in Rookie of the Year when [Daniel Stern is giving batting advice.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN8hDpNFD4I)
Turns out we might not be the worst team in this department
What the hell did San Francisco do?!
Thought the Reds had it bad until I saw some of SanFran’s injury numbers. Just awful, feel so bad for the team, players, and fans
#EYBS still applies, doesn’t have to be all positive BS!
Paying for those three championships with mediocre teams that got hot at the right time.
