Logan Webb gave the Giants his 23'rd Quality Start of the season but it was not nearly enough to prevent them from a crushing blow to their postseason dreams. Key Lines:
Lamonte Wade Jr 1B- 1 for 4, HR(16). BA= .263. OBP= .377. LMWJ once again led off the game with a HR. He's on a tear batting .370 over his last 15 games. He's had a really good season, but does he have enough pop from the 1B position?
Logan Webb RHP- 6 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 4 K, GO/AO= 11/0. ERA= 3.35. A gassed Logan Webb is still the best pitcher on the team but yeah, he's gassed. Shut him down already!
Ryan Walker RHP- 0.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.20. Speaking of gassed.....
Sean Hjelle RHP- 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 2/0. ERA= 8.10. I hope they keep Hjelle around and give him another shot next season but probably more likely he ends up in another organization one way or another.
Giants remain 3 games out of the final Wild Card playoff spot but with just 10 games to go with 7 against the Dodgers and 3 against the Padres, they are not coming back.
The death march continues tomorrow evening in LA with Kyle Harrison LHP facing Emmett Sheehan RHP.
Churn Watch: Lots of activity here. As expected, Alex Cobb RHP goes on the 15 day IL effectively ending his season. Keaton Winn RHP goes on the 7-day COVID IL which could mean trouble ahead for other members of the team. Kyle Harrison LHP and Sean Hjelle RHP were recalled from AAA Sacramento. Brandon Crawford SS left the game early with hamstring tightness. If he goes on the IL it could be the end of his Giants career.
i anticipate tristan beck to be up once they decide to shut down webb for the year. lauriano is likely going to be taxied and a lot of guys in sacramento better prepare to be on the taxi squad in case more guys go on the covid IL.
ReplyDeleteFitzgerald is big!
ReplyDeleteOpportunity in the 5th, he hung in there, didn't bite on wasted pitches, and got his 1st big league RBI!
Woo hoo.
Beat LA!
