How could you possibly not like or at least appreciate Mad Bum

[tatddy]

Guys is 25 years old....TWENTY FIVE. He's pitching in his 6th major league season. He's pitching in his 3rd postseason. Guy had 4 BOMBS and 15 RBIS as a hitter. He doesn't run his mouth....he just does his job (sure he'll stare down a few guys but that's just his mean streak).

And he knows how to celebrate. What a special kind of player. SF is lucky to have him. Did I mention he's 25?! Think about your teams best young pitcher and then go look at how old he is and then think about what Mad Bum has accomplished already.

I completely agree. I'm sick jealous y'all have him.

Guy is a major stud.

Yes exception for the best pitcher of our generation. But, I will note, that he is older than Bum .

better with that extra year

[t-wizzle]

I loved the contract extension back a couple years ago.

I recall some people calling it a bit premature but the Giants look like geniuses now.

Enjoy it while you have him. He's a joy to watch.

better with that extra year

Kershaw = 215 million
Bumgarner 35 million

We win

[gauchojake]

Dude is good, but with Cain injured and Timmy a flame out, is he enough?

Bumgarner = 2 rings
Kershaw = 0 rings

Listen, he's a very good pitcher for the NL.

He isn't any Kershaw.

Put him in the AL he's a 3.40-3.70 ERA type guy. These NL guys that dominate cannot do the same damage in the AL.

[tatddy]

Deemer relax. Nobody is saying Bum is better than Kershaw.

[smitch124]

If they fought, though, he would crush him like a grape. Just sayin'

you are right. imagine corey kluber making 3 starts of the season at petco or half of them on giants park

[Killer_Demo]

Madbum is the best pitcher not named Kershaw.

[MickeyMan]

He is a fukkin stud and maybe the giants 5th best hitter.

He should have a way hotter wife tho.

[downsouth]

So your handicapping prospective gay male sexual position preference and they are the closet fruit? Sure guy

[BigDeem5]

Yes, Mad Bum is better than Felix Hernandez, Sale, etc..

[tatddy]

Deem talk to me when those guys sniff a World Series game at 22.

Kershaw lovers lost a lil mojo

[Big Bear]

i dont like his body language and on the field antics.

he seems like he would be an asshole but he's a decent pitcher.

[laxdjock]

Dude is legit, unfortunately. I hate the Giants' fans...total douche.

i used to be a huge Giants fans but they disrespected Barry Bonds by taking his banner down in left field so now i hate the Giants

[innovation]

focused but down to earth

easier said then done with Benjamin's involved

[Bostongambler]

Like how he didn't back down Puig after hitting him with a pitch.

[PAYTON20]

the same goes for Kershaw. Put Kershaw in the AL where he doesn't get an automatic out/K every time thru the lineup and his numbers will look a lot different

[PAYTON20]

Mad Bum is cool under pressure that's what's great about him

Major clutch performer

[BigDeem5]

I said Bum is good. I'm not debating that.

However, he's no Felix, Chris Sale, hell even Jon Lester.

He's probably right on cusp of top 10 pitchers in baseball.

He would kick Puig's ass.
