"When the Giants Come to Town..." is my blog intended to chronicle my thoughts on San Francisco Giants baseball. My special interest is in prospects and the farm system, but of course, will comment on all aspects of the San Francisco Giants. I will also comment on baseball in general, particularly from a fantasy baseball perspective. I hope you will find the site informative, and invite you to join in the discussion.

Spring Training Game Wrap 2/25/2020: White Sox 4 Giants 3
Kevin Gausman pitched 2 strong innings and the Giants offense mounted a 3-run rally in the 3'rd inning, but the White Sox scored 2 on the 9'th for the win. Key Lines:
Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 2, SB(1). BA= .667. YtY started in RF and led off. 2 hits and a SB? That's what a leadoff hitter's supposed to do.
Wilmer Flores 1B- 1 for 2. BA= .250. Flores started at 1B. His single in the 3'rd inning drove in a run and he later scored in the inning. Curiously, both of Flores' starts this spring have been at 1B. Did the Giants give him a 2 year contract to be the short end of a 1B platoon?
Alex Dickerson LF- 1 for 2, 2B. BA= .250. The double was a classic Dickerson stroke sending the ball up the R-CF alley and driving in 2 runs. The man can hit!
Kevin Gausman RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. Gausman was facing the White Sox probably Opening Day lineup. I'm quite bullish on Gausman and Drew Smyly. Now all we need is for Shark to hold steady, a comeback by Johnny Cueto and a breakout by Tyler Beede, and the Giants have a very nice rotation.
Tyler Rogers, Carlos Navas, Andrew Triggs and Melvin Adon- 1 scoreless inning each. Matt Carasiti allow an unearned run in 1 inning pitched.
