P - Webb

Bird those birding birds. 6-2 good guys.

I am glad the Giants are giving Villar time to straighten out his hitting. Hopefully, he gets hot soon. I think he'll do well in the MLB but the jury is still out on him.

 

[LHG]

Also, it is a bit surprising that the Giants are willing to go with just one healthy catcher on the active roster, and a guy who hasn't been a full time catcher before this year at that. Hope Bart is able to handle duties if something happens to Sabol.

Great outing from Webb but he's getting Cained

LOL

I was just going to mention that he may need a Sacto-Reset soon. I like him and believe he has a future. But sometime guys just get on their heels a bit and need a 2-week “vacation” to get their legs back under them.

If he continues to struggle for another week, then I may agree with you on that evaluation. But moving him down now wouldn't give the Giants many options. I don't think Wisely or Ramos are able to come up yet. Armando Alvarez is on the IL with the RiverCats and isn't on the 40 man roster yet. Clint Coultier and Michael Gigliotti are not on the 40 man roster either. No one else is hitting well enough to warrant a call up.

Our bullpen is seriously messed up.

 

[LHG]

I mean, they aren't even able to get Paul DeJong out. That is one messed up bullpen.

All good arguments. Sometimes a “reset” isn’t an option. He is playing decent enough defense to still add value to the team. And as long as his current struggles don’t scar him, than let him harden via fire.

Brebbia sucked
Beck sucked.

We didn't hit.

Get 'em in Mexico City

Hard to sweep a team especially 4 games

 

[LHG]

LaMonte Wade, Jr seems to be doing a Kris Bryant impersonation. Thus far in 2023, he is quietly having a good season, mainly on the back of two things - drawing the walk and hitting for extra bases. His .237/.430/.458 slash looks really weird. He has a team leading 17 walks (Conforto is the only other players with more than 8 walks) and 6 of his 14 hits are for extra bases (2 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs).
I've said it before, but, so far, I am pleasantly surprised at how well he is doing in 2023.

 

[LHG]

Speaking of weird hitting stats - Conforto has 14 hits, 10 of which are singles and 4 of which are home runs.

He has 4 HRs? How is that possible? That is the quietest 4 HRs in the league.

pfft.

Well now we're not even going to make the playoffs...
