The Giants ended their 2021 spring training on a high note as they dominated the A's from start to finish to gain a split in the desertized version of the Bay Bridge Series. Game Notes:
YtY gave everybody a scare when he was hit by a pitch on the hand. Apparently X-rays are OK and he'll be DTD.
Will Wilson PH/2B hit a solo HR in 3 AB's, his second HR of the spring. Wilson showed flashes of pop in his bat but overall hit just .160 and really struggled in the field. More salt for him!
Jason Vosler PR/3B went 2 for 2 ending his spring on a positive note with a BA of .304. We may see him in SF before the season is over.
Mauricio Dubon CF recorded an assist from CF throwing out Tony Kemp at the plate. Kemp is a pretty fast runner, so...impressive! He also singled and ended his spring with a respectable .270 BA.
Logan Webb RHP would have had a reasonable excuse if he suffered a letdown in his final spring tuneup start, but he powered across the finish line with 6 full innings of 1-run ball with 5 K's and 1 BB.

The Giants now have a 2-day layoff before starting the season on Thursday, April 1 in Seattle against the Mariners. Kevin Gausman RHP is slated to go against Marco Gonzalez LHP on Opening Day. I can hardly wait!
Now to set the opening day roster...could be interesting.
ReplyDelete180 pitchers have thrown more than 10 innings this Spring.
ReplyDeleteOnly Logan Webb is in the group with 17, tied with 7 others for 41st place.
42 Giants pitched.
Gausman 8 IP
DeSclafani 9+
Cueto 7+
Sanchez 5+
Only 3 Giants pitched 10 or more innings: Tropeano and Littrell join Webb.
Most think ST lasts too long, but are the Giants ready to pitch?
After 2 days off in the first week, SF plays 19 games in 20 days.
We'll know the answer then...
