Mauricio Dubon had a breakout game. Unfortunately that was pretty much the only bright spot in the first game of a 7-game road trip against the Cards and Dodgers. Ugh! Key Lines:
Mauricio Dubon 2B- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(1). BA= .267. Well, we know Dubon can turn on a hanging breaking ball on the inner half and drive it. Both of his XBH's were on that type of pitch. And this kid sure looks good in a baseball uniform!
Tyler Beede RHP- 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 5.61. Take out the first 2 batters of the game and his line is 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. Still not great but better. Maybe the Driveline guys can fix him over the winter?

The Loss drops the Giants 8 games off the pace in the Wild Card race. Maybe it's time to stop tracking that?

Dereck Rodriguez gets the start tomorrow facing RHP Jack Flaherty.

RHP Kyle Barraclough and LHP Andrew Suarez were added to the Active Roster prior to the game.

Love the way M.D. pulled those pitches into the LF corner. If Pillar comes back next season I can see these two
ReplyDeleteRH bats pulling pitches. Maybe Dubon can influence Slater to pull? Easy to see that Dubon plays with confidence and enthusiasm.
Players will say they want to win every game but at 5 below .500, is even a realistic goal anymore? 15-10 to get to 81-81.
ReplyDeleteOTOH, it will require 9-16 to finish ahead of 2018 in Zaidi's first year and Bochy's last, but with 10 against Pittsburgh, Miami, and Colorado -- all at home -- that could happen unless the Giants go full bore evaluating future talent.
