Three runs was not enough for the Giants to ovecome a subpar Start for Johnny Cueto RHP. Game Notes:
Mike Yastrzemski RF returned to the lineup and got the Giants on the board first with a solo HR in the first inning(11). If the Giants are going to make a second half run at the postseason, they need YtY to be healthy and productive. This is an encouraging start.
Wilmer Flores 3B gave the Giants a short-lived lead in the 4'th inning with a 2-run blast(8). After a slow start to the season, Flores is on an extended tear slashing .337/.381/607 over his last 30 games.
Johnny Cueto's line speaks for itself: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 5 K, 2 HR. ERA= 4.00.
*************************************************************************************
This was the Giants 4'th loss in a row and cut their lead over the Dodgers in the NL West to 0.5 games. They do still own the best record in MLB.
*************************************************************************************
Alex Wood LHP will try to be the stopper tonight facing Zac Gallen RHP.

Injury/Churn Update:
Mike Tauchman OF went on the IL with a knee sprain suffered while make a great catch in LA. Jaylin Davis OF gets the callup.

Down on the Farm:
AAA:
Braden Bishop RF- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .351.
Mauricio Dubon SS- 2 for 5. BA= .400.
Joey Bart C- 3 for 4, HR(8), BB. BA= .344.
Jason Vosler LF- 1 for 4, HR(6), BB. BA= .247.
Arismendy Alcantara 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, 3B. BA= .309.
Logan Webb RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 4/0. ERA= 4.50.
Kervin Castro RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.60.
Sam Selman LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.84.
Trevor Gott RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.05.
Logan Webb starts his rehab assignment. Giants ideal scenario for Joey Bart is probably to keep him in AAA until Sept, but he seems to be about as ready as he'll ever be if needed before then. He does need to be in a situation where he's hitting every day.
High A:
Ismael Munguia CF- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .264.
Armani Smith DH- 1 for 4, HR(4). BA= .333.
Aaron Phillips RHP- 7 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.91.
Low A:
Carter Williams LF- 1 for 5, HR(2). BA= .306.
Luis Matos CF- 2 for 3, BB, SB(15). BA= .303.
Prelander Berroa RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 3.38.
Rookie:
Adrian Sugasty C(19 yo)- 3 for 5. BA= .417.
George Bell LF(23 yo)- 2 for 4, BB, SB(1). BA= .400.
PJ Hilson CF(20 yo)- 2 for 4. BA= .250.
Luis Moreno RHP(22 yo)- 7 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 12 K's. ERA= 5.14.

I had a slight gasp with Sergio Romo's dress-down with the Umps as they are doing random inspections of the pitchers these days. DrB, do you get the sense that spin rates are different among Giant pitchers in the past week or so? I'd be interested in any data on that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteCueto was sick this week, but wanted to pitch to his credit. Offense didn't pick him up scoring only 3 runs. Giants are a good team but injuries may be catching up to them. Losing Belt and Longoria hurts for long stretch. Good stuff from minor leagues. Wonder what effect not having 2020 minor league season would have on these players development. I saw Hunter Bishop developed a shoulder injury on a rehab assignment from another injury. It's not good that Bishop can't seem to stay on the field, which hurts his development.
