Game Thread: 9.13 Weekday afternoon game (featuring Harry)

[Stokes1931]

Amid league-wide spike, why don’t SF Giants steal more bases?

“I think we’d like to steal more bases,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “We really have one base stealer … and it’s (Thairo) Estrada.”

Because the analytics say "don't run" or they have no one with speed?

Speed isn’t the only factor when it comes to stealing bases, but it can be a limiting one in its absence. At an average of 26.8 feet per second, the Giants have the fourth-slowest group of base runners, according to Statcast’s sprint speed metric.

Tough to score runs when you are slow. And don't hit homers.

 

[Stokes1931]

I don’t think he has fallen THAT far. He has just proven that he isn’t a starter. He is solid bat off the bench and/or Util guy, but he isn’t an everyday player.

Davis could be a solid bench piece if he's willing and at an affordable price. He's just not regular starter material, I don't think.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants really needed at least 2 of 3 in this series (a sweep would have been better)

They win game 1 in miraculous style, and then PLOP, don't even show up for the next two. And this from an opponent that really has nothing to play for except pride.

Sigh, I guess they can't play 162 against the Rox.

Man Haniger had a bad at bat there
Such a disappointment

Surely Matos has the speed to steal some
He should be CF next yeat
The team is old and slow

In college, a long time ago, I was part of an IM basketball team. Our team name was "Short but Slow"

 

[Stokes1931]

Oh crap! MORE runners in scoring position?!? This cannot be good for the Giants due up to hit.

 

[Stokes1931]

And there you go. I was just talking about how good Davis is and wouldn't you know, he does an EWS and ties the game!

How many years is this guy signed for? Only this one I hope?

As you can see, consistency on this board has its limits.

I believe they signed him for three years. Not sure if the last one has an opt out.
