The Giants face the closest thing that they had to a number 2 starter last year - Tyler Anderson
Slater - cf
Ruf - rf
Longoria - 3b
Flores - 1b
Crawford - ss
Dubon - 2b
Casali - c
Tauchman - lf
Cueto - p

Definitely the B lineup tonight. Interesting to see that Tauchman is in the lineup but down in the 8th spot. Personally, I'd rather see more of Slater than Tauchman. The reason? Look no further than the triple slash in 2021 with SF:
Slater - .227/.318/.392 (97 ABs)
Tauchman - .207/.276/.321 (53 ABs)

And its interesting to see Ruf in right field. His bat needs to be in this lineup. He's hitting .213/.377/.489 in 47 ABs so far. His OPS is good for 2nd on the team (3 points ahead of Belt).

Looks like we're going to have trouble scoring again. No Buster, no Belt, no Yaz.

Can't see Shimmy going deep either. And this phuking bullpen....

Who knows....

And here we are with 4 runs in the 3rd inning...

 

[Stokes1931]

Dubon's bat is coming around. Now up to .233

 

[msgkings322]

Just your typical 4 pitch inning for Cueto LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Wow Dubon has really gotten good in the field...a great turn of the DP and then that catch in the outfield...

 

[msgkings322]

Wow another great play...remember when our defense was supposed to be disastrous this year? I don't see it.

By my count, the Giants have 15 errors in 37 games, which is very good. But as you mention, it is not just the errorless play, but some of the sparkling plays being made as well.

Man, Bryan Reynolds looks really good. I wonder what team gave up on him so early in his career.
