I didn't have Ingram on the 26 man

He never appeared.

 

[tzill]

Nick Ahmed, #forevergiant, did exactly what he was expected to do. Play great defense and mostly suck ass at the plate. Hit to his career averages. Best of luck, Nick.

No hard feelings. He did exactly what was expected. He was a positive clubhouse guy and played solid ++ defense. I wonder if Wisely “won” the job, or just qualified as “good enough” to allow them to cut ties with Ahmed? Ray will need to be added to the 40 in the next week or so, so we needed the slot, either way. Warren likely needs a spot as well, soon, but that will probably be Ingram.

Exactly. Ahmed lasted longer than I thought he would.

Tyro, Flowers, and Fitz starting tonight. Interesting.

 

[stanford the manford]

So Fitz is our SS with Wisely backing? Or do I have them flipped? Or platoon righty and lefty?

We will see, but I suspect Wisely will get the lions share of the starts between the two.

The LH part of a platoon usually does, homie.

Did I say I expected a platoon, homie?

Last I checked you weren't a dimwit.

Of course it'll be a platoon.

You give me entirely too much credit.

Cal has a point. After all, he has a helipad but not a helicopter. The connections don’t come easily.

Well, you are my alt after all...

Ray threw 59 pitches in his eighth rehab outing, allowing four runs on four hits (including two homers) and a walk while fanning five in three innings for Single-A San Jose on July 9.

Winn threw a 25-pitch bullpen session at Oracle Park on July 9

Cobb will make his third rehab start with Single-A San Jose on July 10

Beck is scheduled to throw a 40-pitch bullpen session at Oracle Park on July 10

Warren began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on June 18, giving up six earned runs over 6 2/3 innings (8.10 ERA) in his first seven relief appearances

Small is continuing his bullpen progression in Arizona and will throw a live batting practice session on July 12

Murphy took on-field batting practice on June 28 and caught a bullpen on July 6.

 

[Brightboat]

I was surprised that they signed Ahmed in the first place but am also surprised they shit canned him so soon.

 

[Brightboat]

Wasn't Fitzgerald formerly an outfielder with the Giants?

 

[tzill]

Last I checked you weren't a dimwit.

Of course it'll be a platoon.

From Pavs, today:

Luciano was 9-for-24 during that run in the big leagues, but his OPS in a hitter-friendly Triple-A league is under .700 and he has just three homers. A hot streak could very easily put him back into the big league mix, but for now the Giants will lean on Wisely and Fitzgerald. Manager Bob Melvin said the two would platoon at short.
"Obviously you don't see as many lefties, so Wisely is going to get predominantly the most at-bats, but (there's) in-game (changes) too," Melvin said. "Wisely has swung the bat pretty well against lefties but I think both of them are going to get an opportunity to play."

 

[LHG]

Wade Meckler finally got activated off the minor league IL . . . in Eugene. He started a rehab assignment in June with the ACL and then San Jose before getting shut down. He resumed again in late June and is now in Eugene. Seems weird that they would place him all the way down there.
