The Giants lineup hit 3 home runs to back a bullpen game by the pitching staff in a runaway win againte the Monterrey Sultanes of the Mexican League. Key Lines:
Willy Adames SS- 1 for 3, HR, BB, R, RBI. Hopefully Adames starts this season a little more relaxed than last year when he was coming off signing his big contract.
Casey Schmitt 1B- 2 for 3, R. Schmitt started at 1B with Devers at DH.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 1, HR, R, 3 RBI. Eldridge's stay in AAA may be short.
Jared Oliva CF- 2 for 3, R, RBI. Harrison Bader is expected to start in CF on Opening Day but Oliva is making a case for a roster spot as a reserve OF.
Tyler Fitzgerald 2B/SS- 1 for 1, HR, R, 2 RBI. Seems like Christian Koss is ahead of Fitz on the depth chart but Fitz made the most of this opportunity.
Pitchers- 9 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 9 K's. Carson Seymour gave up both runs. Remarkably, the collective pitching gave up no walks.
Giants and Sultanes play one more exhibition tonight before Opening Day on Wednesday.
Will be there tomorrow: LB130 Row 2 Seats 1-3

DeleteI see that Matos is being DFA'd. I think he'll be a major leaguer. If he can find a nice corner OF spot for a team that can give him regular ABs for a season or so he may do just fine. It wasn't going to happen in SF, however, and he clearly cannot thrive in a bench role. Matos seems like another failure in development, hopefully from an earlier era. I'll root for him wherever he goes (unless it's LA).
ReplyDeleteIf you count every acquisition, whether it be from the draft, international signing, or trade that doesn't work out, the success rate is at best 1 in10 and probably less than half that.
DeleteBuster to the rescue? He certainly has taken a unique path...
The Sultanes' Sócrates Brito has bounced around for a lot of years, but, boy, what a great name!
