He drove in 8, sure.


But how many did he give back with his atrocious defense?

 

[Mays-Fan]

Crawpoke for the W!

If this doesn't wake us up, nothing will.

But if he dh's, what will Kapler do with all those middle infielders?

Apparently, it KEPT you up.

Who is worse out there? Ruf or Pedo?

Hey, we all loved Mike Morse. How could you not?

This is WAY down the list of things keeping me up.

Ugh. Pretty much a tie.

So far, per dWAR on BBRef, Joc is minus 0.6, Ruf is minus 1.0.

In 1/4th of a season, those project to some very ugly numbers.

But LaStella DHs because . . . middle infielders!

I decided to complain first and research second. Whoops!
Turns out, Ruf has DH'd the most so far this season (14 games), followed by Flores (13), Pederson (8), LaStella (4), Belt (2) and then a plethora of one timers (Bart, Dubon, Gonzalez, Wade and Yastrzemski).
Flores makes sense as well because his dWAR thus far is -0.4 (compared to -0.2 all of 2021). LaStella already has a -0.1 dWAR in a mere 2 games in the field. It appears the Giants have more DHs than they can handle.

@calsnowskier , another challenge going against the Giants.

In real time it looked like a correct call. I was there and we were surprised it got reversed.
