    Lol. Well played, Doc. We also had some players stand at the plate with bats on their shoulders so USA pitchers could work on accurately throwing the ball across the plate.

    Lol, good day for Bryce Eldridge made a couple of nice plays on the field, hit 111 mph shot to CF that Buxton caught, and he met his idol Bryce Harper, cool stuff.

      Giants provide backups for the team if they want to take players off the field.

    last two games played, Eldridge 0-6 with 4 K's. 21 years old. admire his confidence but i cannot escape the feeling he is more than a year away. and that's not based on my super duper SS.

      I've been convinced of that since the 2025 season ended. To me it's as clear as day that he's not ready. Why is it even up for debate? Hope Buster makes the right move.

      -- timely 2-run double last night -- .263/.391/.579/.970 in his SSS
      Interesting, the #7 batters in the Giants lineup got 6 rbi's...

      I'm not convinced, FWIW.

      Eldridge got endorsed by none other than Aaron Judge!
      The latter praised the San Francisco Giants' top prospect, with the two 6-foot-7 sluggers connecting during a March 2026 spring exhibition game.
      Judge expressed admiration for the 21-year-old's talent, calling him a potential "cornerstone player" and suggesting he could join Team USA in the future.

      I thought Eldridge went to left field rather well. To me, that's a good sign.

      I'm definitely planning to drive over to AZ to take in an ACL Giants game or two this season.

      Outstanding.

      I mean, kid has already played & basically dominated in the Dominican Major Leagues with guys averaging 8 years older than him...

      But wow, very exciting!
      Does that mean he'll be playing along-side Josuar Gonzalez? If so, do they move Luis to CF immediately? I've heard a lot about his ability to switch to center, but I wonder if the hot corner would be more useful. CF probably a more important defensive position tho..
