The Giants have recorded 17 steals in August, which is 16th in baseball. That doesn't sound like much, but they have been at/near the bottom in steals pretty much in every month this season, so that number is heading in a positive direction.

Jordan Hicks says he is really just dealing with overall fatigue. He is hopeful 15 days is all he needs and he believes now he knows what he’s looking at with a full big league season of starting he will be better prepared next season.

Of course, anything they say COULD be BS, but this fits into our expectations from the beginning of the season.

Again, I CHOOSE to accept this narrative.

Don't let him catch you Knapping.

I assume that this will be the only game he appears as a Giant this year.

Middle third, you will be shocked to learn that the Gs are not hitting. Harry seems to be balling so far, so there's that.

But for Forto's GIDP, we'd have a good chance of getting Peralta out of the game earlier.

One strike away from a 0-0 game going into the sixth and then:
(one on second by way of walk and a steal)
walk
single
double
HR

Harry gone. 0-5 and the bed has been fully shit.

Get 'em tomorrow morning...maybe.

Gameday indicates that Harry got squeezed on the last two pitches of the walk, which led to the disaster of the inning.

Giants 0-1 with RISP

Suuds 3-7 with RISP

Game

 

[Stokes1931]

Warren two pitches: single and GIDP

Just like the game plan had it.

 

[Stokes1931]

Our #3 hitter is hitting .228

Last 7 games = .048

Last 15 games = .159

No wonder we can't score any runs.

Our #3 hitter.

 

[Stokes1931]

A hit with a RISP!!!!!!

And a run!!!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

A McCray homer would be great here.

All game the suds hitters were dealing with a micro-zone while the Giants hitters were dealing with a macro-zone.
