Spring Training Game Wrap 2/28/2018: Giants 10 Brewers 10

The Giants built a 10-1 lead behind terrific pitching from Ty Blach and dingers by Jarrett Parker, Mac Williamson and Kyle Jensen.  The BrewCrew scored the last 9 runs of the game including 7 in the 9'th inning to finish in a tie.  Key Lines:

Steven Duggar CF- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .273.  Duggar still stating his case.

Brandon Crawford SS- 2 for 3.  BA= .400.  Does anyone else think Crawford could be fixing to have his career year at the plate?

Kyle Jensen PR/1B- 1 for 2, HR(3).  BA= .571.  Jensen is definitely this year's Randy Elliott.

Hector Sanchez C- 1 for 3.  BA= .500.  Looking at the R and RBI in his line, I thought for sure Hector had hit another dinger.  Apparently not.

Jarrett Parker LF- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .231.  Parker shows why it's way too early to be writing him off this spring.

Mac Williamson RF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .308.  I'm calling a huge season for Mac in Sacramento this year.

Ty Blach LHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 4/1.  ERA= 0.00.  One of the hits was an infielder.  5 K's gives him 7 in 5 IP with 0 BB.  Not sure how you get 5 K's and 5 outs on BIP's in 3 IP, though.  Anyway, Ty Blach with a strikeout pitch could be a lot more than a #5 SP.  Seems he's tightened up his slide piece quite a bit over the offseason.

Andrew Suarez LHP- 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K.  ERA= 4.15.  Suarez drew praise from Bruce Bochy.  Pitched 2 shutout innings before faltering in the 6'th.

Steve Okert LHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 0.00.  A double and 3 flyouts.  Not an approach he wants every game.

  1. Mac Williamson is more a complete player than Parker: 70-30
    Parker is prototypical AAAA

  2. Not only is ST toooooo long, the WRONG players are there!
    What is with the Giants anyway? They invite too many fillers and don't contribute noting!
    WOW, is Fernandez a COMPLETE B-U-S-T?

  3. Gómez needs to find a position -- one that doesn't give up more than a run a game!
    Ultimately, he's a short 1Bman or a DH.
    LF with a super strong RHP, who can locate.

  4. I'm all for filling a roster, but are the Giants picking ST invitees with darts?
