The Giants offense continued to produce runs and they got a Dominant Start from Logan Webb to win their 4'th straight game. Key Lines:
Austin Slater DH- 0 for 0, BB. BA= .347. Slater came out after drawing a a walk in the first inning and apparently tweaking a groin muscle while running the bases. If it's a long IL stint, that's a big loss and continues Slater's history of suffering injuries just as it looks like his career is gaining traction.
Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .320. YtY keeps hitting better as the season goes along: .370 over his last 7 games, .333 over his last 15 and .320 on the season.
Wilmer Flores 1B- 2 for 3, HR(7), BB. BA= .333. The Giants keep facing LHP's and Flores keeps destroying them.
Evan Longoria 3B- 2 for 4, HR(3). BA= .263. Longo hits his 300'th career HR and is hitting .333 over his last 7 games.
Joey Bart C- 1 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .286. Most impressive PA of the night was drawing a tough bases-loaded walk in the 7'th to drive in an insurance run after an intentional walk to Alex Dickerson in the preceding PA. During the course of that PA, Bart fouled off some very tough pitches and mades a couple of tough takes.
Logan Webb RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 3.29. Statistically the strongest start of Logan Webb's career so far.

The Giants released Yolmer Sanchez IF to pursue other options.
Impressive AB by Joey Bart 10 pitch walk driving in the insurance run. When asked which prospects impressed him at Giants training camp he mentioned Luciano, Ramos, and Caniero being freakish and they make the game look easy. Wow, excited for the future of Giants baseball!
ReplyDeleteThe sample size is still small, but it sure looks like the Giants, looking into the future, have to feel Great about Yaz, very good about Webb, good about Slater and Dubon, and perplexed on what to do with tow guys who can swing it but don't have spots on D - Solano and Flores. Also, two games of Joey Bart are sure encouraging.
ReplyDeleteThere is a good chance Gausman has value at the deadline, and if Cueto has one more good start it may be possible to unload a significant part of the money owed to him.
Ladies and gentlemen, who are you hoping will jump into the group of young players staking out a role going into Spring Training 2021?
These next six weeks are going to be worth watching. Go Giants.
Well - just when you think you would cash in Gausman and Cueto the Giants start looking like winners. Gausman, Cueto, Webb, T Anderson looking strong + good hitting. Same dilemma as 2019 - deal for prospects now or go for the gold...
