Carson Whisenhunt was lit up for a huge 3-run home run by Jo Adell in the first inning and the game was basically over at that point except for the pummeling. Key Lines:
Jonah Cox CF- 2 for 4. BA= .286. Cox is back up and continues to get on base and show range in CF. He did get picked off and CS to negate the two hits. Hopefully the coaches can give him some pointers on reading MLB pitchers, especially LHP's.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 4, HR(14), R, RBI. BA= .250. Eldridge drove in the Giants only run with a home run of his own in the 2'nd inning, off a LHP to boot. Everything about him reminds me so much of Brandon Belt, I sometimes have to double-check myself to make sure it's not Belt out there. I already see an ability to handle inside pitches that I never saw in Belt so I am optimistic Bryce will end up as a much better hitter.
Carson Whisenhunt LHP- 4 IP, 9 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 3/5 GO/AO. ERA= 7.03. I don't know if he was tipping pitches but he was not fooling the Guardians batters, especially Jo Adell who torched him for 3 hits and 6 RBI's. The first 3 batters in the Guardians lineup all reached base 3 times. Right now The Whiz is not looking like a pitcher to count on for next season.
Trent Harris RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 7.71. After giving up 4 runs in his first 1.2 IP, Harris combined line for his last 2 games is 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's.
Reiver Sanmartin LHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 7.45. Sanmartin allowed the first 3 batters he faced to reach base. He settled down after that and should have been out of the 7'th inning but Bryce Eldridge inexplicably dropped a relay throw from Osleivis Basabe that was off the ground. Sanmartin has a nice pitch mix which looks more like a starter's mix than a relievers to my eye.
Note that all three Giants pitchers who appeared in the game finished the day with ERA's over 7.
Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson LHP brings his soft-tossing, "invisiball" for a major league tryout tonight facing Parker Messick LHP who comes in with a 2.59 ERA. And that sure seems like a lot of quotation marks in The Tugboat's game.
