A Quality Start for Blade Tidwell and a huge game at the plate for Bryce Eldridge led the Giants to an easy win in St. Louis. Key Lines:
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(17), BB, 2 R, 3 RBI. Bryce Eldridge is having a monster finish to his season. Slash line .327/.422/.558 in September so far, .327/.414/.558 over his last 30 games. Sal Stewart, who has 200 more AB's, probably still has a solid lead for ROY but Eldridge should be in the conversation.
Turner Hill LF- 2 for 4, HR(1), BB, R, 3 RBI. BA= .250. Nice game for Hill who had been slumping.
Christian Koss SS- 3 for 5, 2 RBI. BA= .240. Koss is hot. .435/.480/.565 over his last 7 game, .333/.382/.510 over his last 15 and .276/.330/.418 over his last 30.
Blade Tidwell RHP- 6.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.56. This was Tidwell's longest start of the season and first Quality Start. He has shown some resilience when coming off poor starts.
Anthony Molina RHP tries to bounce back from a disaster start and get the Giants a series win against Matthew Liberatore LHP who comes in with an ERA of 5.53. The series finale starts at 10:15 AM PDT.
And just like that we avoided losing 100. The team shows many good signs.
ReplyDeleteTidwell has done enough to earn a spot in the next baseball season's rotation but, he should try to develop a secondary pitch to complement his sweeper. Getting to the lab is priority #1 this offseason.
ReplyDeleteand yes, I am refraining from saying 2027 since I'm pessimistic there will be a season next year
ReplyDeleteCould Koss be an everyday SS, or at least a 130-gamer?...and look at Dubon in ATL box scores for week or two...you will see him at 3B, CF. LF, SS...hitting everywhere from 2-6 and usually producing
ReplyDeleteI for one would be happy to see Koss out there in place of Adames.
DeleteGiants have 15 players on the IL-60, 4 on the IL-10, and 1 on the IL-15.
ReplyDeleteWhat will they do when they have to count them after the season?
That will be quite a blood bath.
