Game Wrap 6/19/2019: Dodgers 9 Giants 2
Drew Pomeranz got roughed up in the first inning and the game went downhill from there for the Giants who were ultimately blown out for the second game in a row. Key Lines:
Tyler Austin LF- 1 for 4, HR(6). BA= .211. Austin got it over the fence this time. Toonder! And against a RHP.
Mike Yastrzemski RF- 1 for 3, HR(3). BA= .250. The swing is sweet.
Drew Pomeranz LHP- 4.1 IP, 9 H, 7 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 7.09. In addition to the 9 hits which all seemed to be hit hard, the Dodgers had 3 line-outs. Just not a very good job of pitching and no silver linings I can see.
*********************************************************************************
Just when it looked like the Giants were gaining some traction, they've been crushed the last 2 games. Madison Bumgarner tries to split the series tomorrow facing LHP Luis Urias apparently not Walker Buehler.

Game Wrap 6/18/2019: Dodgers 9 Giants 0
Shaun Anderson came within 1 out of a Quality Start, but in the end it did not matter as the Giants offense never so much as sniffed a run in a game that became a blowout. Key Lines:
Shawn Anderson RHP- 5.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 9/1. ERA= 4.08. Anderson may be a dinosaur with his groundball heavy approach. Great article in Fangraphs yesterday about why pitchers are abandoning the sinker/2-seam fastball. The 2-seamer still gets groundballs and groundballs are still good, but when hitters do elevate the sinker, it goes farther than when they elevate a 4-seamer. Also, 4-seamers's get more swings and misses. Net is the 4-seam is a better pitch. I suspect there is still a place for pitchers to mix in both, and the fewer sinkers hitters see, the more effective they will become, but we're probably not going to see many pitchers who just pound the zone with 80+% sinkers anymore. Not saying Anderson is going to fail as a MLB pitcher here. He does throw effective secondary pitches, but it's something to watch going forward.
Clayton Kershaw LHP(Dodgers)- 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 2.85. OK, I take it back. In the 6'th inning, Donovan Solano drew a leadoff walk and Tyler Austin sent Cody Bellinger to the RF wall, but that is the closest the Giants came to scoring in this one. Also, Kershaw's kids threw out the first pitches with his wife helping out. My goodness! How much more can any one man have? Hate to say it about a Dodger, but he seems like a genuinely good guy to boot. Maybe he's secretly mean to the dog or something? I mean there has to be a reason for me to hate him besides just being too good for a team I really dislike.

Game Wrap 6/17/2019: Giants 3 Dodgers 2
Tyler Beede was effectively wild in a Quality Start to lead the Giants to a narrow win over the Dodgers in Chavez Ravine where there is no ocean. Key Lines:
Brandon Crawford SS- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .209. Crawford is still scuffling, but he came through when it counted driving in 2 in the second inning to give the Giants a lead they never gave up.
Tyler Beede RHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 6.67. Beede had to work around 5 free passes but kept his poise and was able to post not only the QS but a W against a very good Dodgers lineup stacked with LH bats. That should earn him some extra looks.
Tony Watson LHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 0 K. ERA= 2.83. Tony Watson has not quite been Mr Reliable this month allowing runs in 3 of his 9 appearances for a 3.11 ERA.

Ryan Howard 2B- 0 for 2, 2 BB. BA= .233.
Andrew Suarez LHP- 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB. 4 K, GO/AO= 13/5. ERA= 5.29.
Sam Selman LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.10.
Andrew Suarez did not give up a run until the 8'th inning, a 1-out dinger to the Cubs leadoff hitter. Since giving up 8 runs in 5 IP on May 30, Suarez has allowed just 3 R in 19 IP in 3 starts in June, although his K/BB suggests it's not sustainable.
