Despite early struggles, Logan Webb ended up with a Quality Start but once again the lineup came up short. Key Lines:
Wilmer Flores DH- 1 for 4, 2B, RBI. BA= .259. There was a 14 MPH wind blowing in from LF. Wilmer had a potential 2-run home run blown back into the left fielder's glove in the first inning which was the difference in the game right there. Giants hitters had at least 2 other warning track drives that might have been HR's without that wind. Wilmer's double in the 9'th was the Giants only XBH of the game and drove in Heliot Ramos from 1B, but it was too little, too late.
Willy Adames SS- 2 for 4. BA= .210. He did not figure into the scoring but it's a tiny bit encouraging to see Adames get two hits.
Logan Webb RHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 10 K's. ERA= 2.82. Webb did not have his best stuff early and was dinged for a run in each of the first 3 innings. He threw 77 pitches in those 3 innings and somehow managed to turn that mess into a Quality Start. He also finished with 10 K's so maybe his stuff was good but he did not have his best command?
Tristan Beck RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 1.80. Beck has looked great in low-leverage situations since his call up. The innings he eats in those situations have value in sparing the single-inning, higher-leverage relievers and it preps him to step into a bigger role if needed.
Landen Roupp RHP tries to salvage a win out of the series tomorrow in an early start facing Jackson Jobe RHP.
Bailey's slump has started to impact his defense a bit. Sam Huff should start both today and Friday with giving Bailey a bit of a mental rest. I think it is time to start questioning Burrell. Jerar will be a partial solution, Buster has to be looking to upgrade first base via trade, unless the season falls off the rails, Eldrige should not be called up this year.

ReplyDeleteGiants had a lot of runners on base without delivering, overall they left 13 on base compared to just 10 for the Tigers. Chapman led SF with 3.
