A 2-run homer by Tyler Fitzgerald led the Giants lineup in support of a strong start by Carson Seymour. Key Lines:
Jared Oliva LF- 1 for 3, 2B, SB(7), R. BA= .375. BA= .375. Oliva continues to be the main basestealing threat in the spring. Is that skill enough to earn him a roster spot? The boxscore says he stole home but in the Play Log it says he stole 3B and took home on a throwing error.
Jesus Rodriguez C- 1 for 3, 2B. BA= .364. Rodriguez continues to hit and get opportunities behind the plate. Most likely will start the season in AAA to hone his catching skills.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 2, BB, R. BA= .259. 32% K rate but 17.6% walk rate. OBP .412, SLG% 556. Small sample and will face better pitching in the regular season. Tony Vitello said the next two weeks will determine if Eldridge starts the season with the Giants or AAA.
Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 1 for 3, HR(1), R, 2 RBI. BA= .154. Signs of life from Fitz who seems like the Forgotten Man.
Carson Seymour RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, 4/3 GO/AO. ERA= 3.86. Seymour started the game sitting at 97 MPH with the FB and finished at 95.9. May be in line for a swingman role.
Hayden Birdsong RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 30.86. An almost clean inning for Birdsong after some behind the scenes work to iron out the wrinkles.
Tyler Mahle RHP makes his third spring start on the road agains the Royals today.
It is so nice to wake up to your wrap of yesterdays' game...
ReplyDeleteLiterally felt the same way this morning. Cheers Doc, cheers all.

(but in SF Today! :)
Yesterday afternoon, when it became next-to-obvious that Gerelmi Maldonado was going to, on his own, lose a won game, did anyone else long for a knight in shining amour to step in and get the dang 3rd out even though it was "only an exhibition game"?
ReplyDeleteHey, apparently the only guy who could get it done, Tony Vitello, didn't want to lose it either!
Seems like an unusual amount of serious competition at the roster’s borders this year.
ReplyDeleteDoes Carson Seymour have a greater arsenal of pitches than what he showed last year - based on his MiLB track record?
ReplyDeleteI didn't follow Seymour closely really, and so seeing pitch tracker with him throwing a stinker, curve, 4-seam and [cutter/slider?]... I didn't feel like I saw all those offerings from him last year. I'm curious what folks think his ceiling is??

Apologies if you've addressed this elsewhere and I've missed it, but are you keeping up with the WBC, doc?
ReplyDeleteUSA with a lot of egg on its face after that loss to Italy...
Not a huge fan of the WBC. I'll probably start tuning in more as is progresses. But I was rooting for the Italians to hang on last night.
