Game Wrap 9/27/2022: Giants 5 Rockies 2

Logan Webb and the bullpen kept the Rockies lineup quiet while Joc Pederson, Thairo Estrada and J.D. Davis were the offensive heroes.  Oh!  And Brandon Crawford, as always, made an impossible play look routine. 

Joc Pederson LF- 2 for 4, 3B, HR(23).  BA= .269.  Joc led off the Giants half of the first inning with a HR to get back the run the Rockies scored in the first.  It seems like Joc and the Giants have a mutual interest in him re-upping.  I wonder how much it will take to keep him in the organization?

Thairo Estrada 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .267.  Nice finish to the season for Thairo slashing .299/.386/.468 in September.

J.D. Davis DH- 3 for 4, HR(11).  BA= .257.  Davis is on a tear 7 for 9 with 2 HR's in his last two games.   Raised his BA by .017 in just 2 games.

Hot Tip: Look up the video of Brandon Crawford throwing out Elias Diaz who is admittedly a catcher but still......

Logan Webb RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K's, GO/AO= 5/1.  ERA= 2.90.  Webb settled down after giving up a run in the first inning.  Only threw 78 pitches but Giants are not going to extend his arm for meaningless games at the end of the season.

Tyler Rogers RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.73.  Rogers seems to have found a comfort zone in a multi-inning middle relief role which is still a really valuable contribution.  His ERA is 0.00 over his last 7 appearances(11 innings), 0.89 over his last 15(20.1 innings) and 2.89 over his last 30(37.1 innings).  He'll be back next year.

The Giants try to secure another series win tomorrow evening with another likely bullpen game against Jose Urena RHP.

Down on the Farm:  9/27/2022

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Las Vegas Aviators 6-3.

Heliot Ramos LF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .227.

Casey Schmitt 3B- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .417.

Is it too much to think Casey Schmitt could be the Giants starting 3B out of spring training next season?
