Buster Posey tried to watch every inning of the San Francisco Giants baseball as he could last year, but he was busy.
Most of her time was spent caring for four children, especially two adopted girls who were born eight weeks premature last summer. But he also found a useful way to keep his hands in shape by making the diapers really tight banging and flipping over his 9-year-old son Lee while he ran for cover.
“You really have to make sure you have the right amount of diapers,” Posey said after the Giants’ first official workout on Wednesday. “Depending on how well they are feeding, which plays a lot in my accuracy and if it’s the equivalent of the weight of a baseball ball. If it’s eating a baby, consider what kind of formula they’ve got. Food or not – and yes , I’ve been very accurate. “
Posey, who sat down with the Covid-19-short 2020 season primarily to address the concerns of her newly adopted daughters, goes into the 2021 season with unfamiliar uncertainty. By opening day, he will turn 34, and enter his 11th and possibly final season as the Giants’ daily catcher. Poseidon’s 16 7,167 million deal includes a 22 22 million club option for 2022, but the Giants also have a promising young catcher, who was placed second in Posey’s long-term position in 2018.
“Yeah, sure, it’s gone in my mind,” Posai said of the possibility that it’s his final season with the Giants. “I think, for me, my biggest goal this year is – just as suddenly – to go one day at a time and try to focus on what needs to be done for that day, even if it’s full of weight. The function of the room or the cage or whatever it may be. And try not to go too far. “
The last time Posey was on the field, he was coming out of hip surgery and was finally struggling in the 2019 season, eventually batting .257 / .320 / .368 with seven homers and 24 doubles in 114 games. In seven previous seasons, he made six All-Star teams, won the MVP award and batted.308 / .378 / .466 while averaging 16 homers, 31 doubles and 141 games per year.
Giants manager Gabe Kap Kapler said in mid-December that Poseidon would return as the team’s primary catcher in 2021, offering the 24-year-old Bart more time to develop after the trying season in 2020.
When there was no team last summer, Posey got into Oracle Park and used the facilities to train regularly. He acknowledged that pitching may take some time to recover, but said he believes his body is in a good position to withstand the rigors of another season. He missed the competition.
“That’s great,” Posai said, returning to the game. “It’s different. Look at what we’re doing right now [conducting an interview over video conference] – It’s not the same. You’re still in the mask, so it’s obviously different too. There are also generalities. It is common to stand and pull on the foul line. Hold the pen, hold the ‘pen. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me. “
