Shane Rademacher RHP- 5 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 2 K's, 4 HR.  ERA= 6.23.

Rademacher, making his second AA start, allowed just 1 run through 5 IP, but allowed a single to open the 6'th then 3 consecutive home runs.

Jonah Cox CF- 1 for 4, BB.  BA= .243.
Jack Payton RF- 2 for 5.  BA= .250.

Ryan Vanderhei RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.49.

Charlie McDaniel's second A+ start goes much better than the first.

Jhonny Level 2B- 2 for 4. BA= .321.
Carlos De La Torre LHP- 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 1.42.

As his line would suggest, there seemed to be some serious BABIP luck working against Carlos De La Torre here with groundball singles accounting for 5 of the 7 hits he allowed with 4 hits bunched in the 2-run third inning.

DSL:  Giants Orange crushed Blue Jays Blue 8-1.

Miguel Caraballo DH(16 yo)- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .273.

  1. Wade Meckler: BA is good (.272), OBP is outstanding (.393), but can you carry a corner outfielder who has 0 HRs in 235 PAs?
    Doesn't Lee have him blocked out of CF through 2029?

  2. Lee has a player opt out after the 2027 season, so not necessarily.

    1. That's interesting, if he's really good he leaves, if he hasn't lived up to expectations he stays...
      Lose-lose for Giants?

    2. Opt outs are always lose, lose for the team. So far, Buster hasn't signed any and rumor has it that he hates them and won't sign a contract with an opt out.
