Pay the man for being in the water. Otherwise it would be at the bottom of the cove.

The fact this guy had a laminated first right handed splash hit sign ready to go says it all. Aquatic Zack Hample

Any fan with their own name on a shirt is one type of asshole or another.

This dude isn’t owed shit. It’s his ball, he has every right to keep it, but needing players to stroke his ego in order for him to work with them is insane. Fuck this guy

I never blame fans for wanting to keep special home run balls.
If the team really wants them back they have the resources to make it happen – otherwise it belongs to the fan and they get to choose what to do with their stuff.

*Ramos, however, has not “earned” getting the ball back from him yet, he said.*
Pretty much sums up why they haven’t bothered dealing with him in a decade
Demanding and excessive attention seeking

This guys sounds like a narcissist reading these quotes. Earn it? Really? No one asked him to put in those hours in the kayak. If he’s viewing it as a job and work then just stop dude, I thought he was doing it for fun

He really said he earned it and Ramos didn’t… despite the fact Ramos hit it and is the first player to accomplish that feat in 25 years. What an ass

This thread reads like it’s the Playa Haters’ Ball lol

McCovey Cove Jerk Dave. His jealousy is causing him to lash out. Mark the Shark got the 100th splash hit ball and is the better guy and cove navigator. Be better Dave!

Got downvoted before for saying it, but he’s a petty, self absorbed prick. Sounds more and more like a bigot too. He’s happy to give Eldridge whatever he wants after 1 season in pro ball, but Ramos, who’s been with the club since he was like 17 hasn’t earned it. Fuck Dave.

I was downvoted last night for calling him petty. Fuuuuuck him.

Won’t someone think of the billion dollar franchises!
I get it, you give a mouse a cookie and all that. But like damn, does it cost the Giants anything to get this guy a *discount* on parking? It’s not even a freebie.

Article is saying most of us were on his side with the Braves ordeal, and quite frankly I remember it differently. At least on our sub, I recall most people calling him out for it and rightfully so

The “earned it” stuff is super childish. On the one hand, I do agree that fans have the right to balls and that MLB teams should give more if they really want them. Like when they offered a bat and signed ball, he asked for a jersey and they said no. That’s dumb.
At the same time, Dave comes off as super narcissistic and entitled. So even though I agree with his basic positions, I disagree with him.

“Heliot, this is his beginning season, and I hope he has a fantastic career. He could get this ball, but he has to earn it. He has to play 10 years for the Giants and become deeply loved, and when I pass away, then yeah.”
SFGATE asked Edlund to elaborate further on how Ramos could “earn” the baseball. Edlund said he’s a “big Ramos fan” but pointed toward top Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge, saying the two have become friendly since Eldridge was drafted in the first round in 2023. “Bryce, if I’m lucky enough to get his first splash hit, of course I’m going to give it to him, free of charge. But I don’t know Heliot Ramos,” Edlund said. He added, “It’s not that he’s a bad guy. I just don’t know him. He could earn that ball over time, but he has to reach out to me. Bryce follows me. Does Heliot even know I exist?”
This guy is ridiculous

I take back my previous statement about this. My man is a fucking nut case who thinks he’s a bigger deal than he is. You sit in a kayak jerking off and waiting to get important balls so he can get more attention.

This loser just wastes his time in the water waiting for balls?
Damn sounds like his life sucks lmfao.

Is there a term for saying something that isn’t incorrect but doing so in the most obnoxious and smug way possible?
