Game Wrap 9/28/2025: Giants 4 Rockies 0

The Giants closed out the 2025 season with a crisp win behind home runs by Willy Adames and Rafael Devers and inspired pitching by Logan Webb and the bullpen.  Key Lines:

Willy Adames SS- 1 for 3, HR(30), R, RBI.  BA= .225.   Adames was moved into the leadoff position just before game time to guarantee him the most PA's in the lineup in his quest for 30 HR's.  He only needed one as he led off the Giants first inning with a shot to straightaway CF.  He becomes the first Giants player since Barry Bonds to hit 30 in a season while wearing a Giants uniform.  Adames also ends up with 94 Runs and 87 RBI's.  

Rafael Devers DH- 1 for 4, HR(35), 2 R, RBI.  BA= .252.  Devers also hit 30+ HR's on the season but 15 of those were with the Red Sox before the trade.  The good news is he was not slowed by Oracle Park effects as he hit HR's at a slightly faster clip after the trade.  I do so look forward to seeing a full season of Devers in the Giants uniform, hopefully with the turmoil of his issues with the Red Sox and the trade behind him.  Oh, and the Red Sox were a game ahead of the Giants in games played at the time of the trade so he played in 163 games this season.  As Vin Scully would say, "how about that?!"

Wilmer Flores 1B- 0 for 2, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  BA= .241.  Wilmer came out of the game after taking the field after his AB so he could get an ovation.  This really felt like a goodbye to Wilmer who was an exceedingly good Giant.

Jung Hoo Lee CF- 3 for 4, 2 RBI.  BA= .266.  Lee's final second half line was .293/.345/.414 after he reworked his approach during the All-Star Break.  Hopefully this is the Jung Hoo Lee we'll see for a full season next year?

Logan Webb RHP- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K's, 6/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 3.22.  Webb needed just one K to be the NL season leader.  He got that an more in the first inning by striking out the side.  He also passed Garret Crochet LHP to lead MLB in Innings Pitched.  Encouraging that after all that work he looked so strong, like he could start the 2026 season in 5 days.  What a horse!

Spencer Bivens RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, Save(3).  ERA= 4.00.  Bivens recorded his second impressive Save in two days, this one over two innings.  He lowered his ERA to an even 4.00.  Kruk and Kuip commented on how versatile he's been all season.

That's a wrap on the Game Wraps on the 2025 season.  Despite the overall disappointment at missing the postseason, I enjoyed watching the vast majority of games on TV and writing them up after.  I hope you all enjoyed reading the wraps as much as I enjoyed writing them.  

As always we will keep the blog going in the offseason.  I don't hold myself to a rigid offseason schedule.  I will write when I have something to write which may be tomorrow or in 3 or 7 days.  We will start out by doing some season reviews and then move into our Hot Stove League coverage after the postseason and finally our annual Giants Top 50 Prospects leading up to spring training 2026.  

Thanks to everybody for reading and commenting....well, almost everybody!
