The Giants lineup recovered nicely from it's encounter with Paul Skenes and the Team USA pitchers on Tuesday for a nice win over the Mariners travel squad. Key Lines:
Will Brennan LF- 2 for 2, R. BA= .429. Brennan is a versatile defensive OF who fits the high contact profile Buster Posey prefers. Is he in the lead for 4'th OF?
Jake Holton DH- 1 for 2, HR(1), R, 4 RBI. BA= .412. Holton was a little-noted organizational depth signing in the offseason. He's raking in spring training and might be Bryce Eldridge's main competition for a primary DH roster spot.
Bryce Eldridge PH/DH- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 RBI. BA= .263. 113 MPH exit velocity. I would not be so quick to write off Eldridge to open the season as the co-1B/DH with Devers. Yes, he is young. Yes, he will strike out a lot. He will also hit the ball hard. He will see MLB pitching and learn more from it than beating up on the hitter-friendly PCL.
Robbie Ray LHP- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, 4/1 GO/AO. ERA= 3.18. The part that bothers me is 50 pitches in 2.2 IP. That, and the too-tight pants.
Carson Seymour RHP- 2.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K. ERA= 5.06. Seymour was throwing both a 4-seam FB and sinker at 97-98 MPH. A cutter was registering 88 MPH is it really just a slider that doesn't break enough? He needs more of a put away pitch.
Keaton Winn RHP- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.70. Winn is a bit of a forgotten man, but I saw some nasty splitters in this appearance.
Michael Fulmer RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00. Fulmer is making up for lackluster velocity with command of a mix of pitches. He's well on his way to winning a bullpen spot.
Nick Zwack LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GO/AO. ERA= 6.00. Zwack is a big lefty who is getting a lot of looks. He was part of the Darin Ruf trade along with Seymour.
The Giants have the day off today.
