The Giants extended the Rockies into extra innings but the final outcome was another loss.
Alex Cobb RHP had a QS: 6.2 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 3 K, GO/AO= 12/1. ERA= 3.99.
Rockies SP Ryan Feltner RHP came into the game with an ERA of 6.39. He retired all 9 batters first time through the lineup. He allowed just one hit and one walk through 5 IP before Joey Bart C led off the 6'th inning with his 10'th HR.
Brandon Crawford SS homered(7) in the 7'th inning to tie briefly tie the game. He doubled in another run in the 9'th to tie the game again. Crawford is hitting .304 over his last 7 games.
Camilo Doval RHP took the loss. I haven't decided how I feel about Closers who lose extra-inning games since the "ghost runner" rule came about.
Remember Wynton Bernard? He played for the Sacramento River Cats in 2017. He drove in a run and scored a run in this game and is hitting .318 in 5 games for the Rockies.
YtY went 0 for 5 at the top of the lineup and his BA dropped to .208. FZ has a big decision about whether to tender him a contract for 2023. If the answer is no, it might be time to give someone else a chance to show what they can do over the rest of this season.
Brandon Belt 1B went 0 for 4 and his BA dropped to .213. Belt will almost certainly not be back next season and it may be time to give his PA's to another player auditioning for next season.

Jakob Junis RHP tries to salvage the final game of this series tomorrow afternoon against Kyle Freeland LHP who has been tough on the Giants.
42 games left. Odds are about 33-1 against making the playoffs.
ReplyDeletePederson and Longoria don't figure in 2023 plans, unless Giants think Longoria is worth $8M (net).
Who should get ABs?
Possibilities are many (* = 40-man roster):
Ramos*, Villar*, Johnson*, Vosler*, Mercedes*, Gonzalez*, Walton*, Proctor*, Díaz, Krizan, Calhoun.
Rule 5 could figure in here, too.
Isn't it pretty unlikely that the Giants would give up, even with just a small chance?
OTOH, what non-pitcher is a fan draw?
Crawford? YtY? Belt? Slater? Longo?
Is there anyone really worth watching anymore?
Even Craw...
with this turning into a lost season, shelving belt on the 60-day IL and DFAing yaz would not be a bad idea
