Tyler Mahle had a sparkling start but was upstaged by Walker Buehler in a road loss to the Padres. Key Lines:
Jared Oliva LF- 0 for 1, HBP, Sac, SB(12). BA= .344. Oliva is getting a long look. He appears to have game-changing speed.
Jung Hoo Lee RF- 1 for 2, 2B, BB. BA= .429. Lee is back from the WBC. Looking for a big season from him.
Buddy Kennedy 3B- 2 for 3, 2B. BA= .346. Tough to see a path to a roster spot for Kennedy despite a strong spring.
Jesus Rodriguez 2B/C- 2 for 4. BA= .353. This guy has one of the shortest, quickest swings I've ever seen. No doubt he can hit. Is there a path to a roster spot?
Tyler Mahle RHP- 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, 6/1 GO/AO. ERA= 0.00. That is good pitching! Mahle's main challenge this season is staying healthy.
Ryan Walker RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. I assume Walker goes into the season as the Closer. Hopefully it's a bounce back year.
Walker Buehler RHP(Padres)- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 3.09. This is going to turn out to be a great pick up for the Padres on a minor league deal no less. I just know it. Buster! How could you let this happen?
The Giants have today off. They are on the road against the Dodgers on Wednesday, starters TBD.
