Did he get even 1 AB for us?
He went 0 for 6 with the team in 3 games.
Another fresh arm for the bullpen!
Duggar's last stand? I was hoping to see Jaylin Davis again before the season was over (and Conner Menez, because, you know, he actually pitched well when he was up earlier this season).
I saw somewhere that Davis has not looked good at the alternate site this year. Apparently they actually keep box scores and stats for all the games they have been playing and his numbers have been no bueno.
I saw a quotation from Kapler that he swings and misses too often for their taste. Apparently, he's moving into Chris Shaw territory . . . AAA numbers look good but no shot until bat control gets better.
I'm curious how exactly they play games at the ATS. The Giants only have 12 pitchers (14 if you count Moronta & Samardzija), 2 catchers (3 if A Garcia is active there), 5 infielders and 5 outfielders at that site.
Maybe they play a form of Play Ups?
When I first saw this, I thought "Why? The regular season ends Sunday." But then it began to make sense. He was activated on a day that they didn't need to make a corresponding move, effectively making him the 29th man for the doubleheader. DFA'ing him gets the roster back to 28, without removing a reliever or position player. Considering the way he's pitched, there would be no guarantee of him getting into a postseason start but I guess they could have used him as a reliever. Heck, he couldn't be much worse than Coonrod.

Day after crucial blown save, Coonrod placed on IL by Giants
Sam Coonrod gave up a three-run walk-off homer on Friday. A day later, his season came to an end.
This really surfaced AFTER the game?
The way he is talking in this article, I wouldn't be surprised if he is at least contemplating retirement.
