Brito certainly has a better approach in the box than Tomas. Tomas swings at everything.

I think Sacrates Brito brings much of the same skill set that Inciarte brought. Speedy outfielder with good defense and from what I've seen last season and in spring training he is a capable offensive player.

I haven't seen much of their ST games to know, that's good if he can be a capable CFer. Tomas is gonna have to really step up offensively now to show why they gave him that contract....we know it's not because of the defense.

Really sad to see the Dbacks lose Pollock but I still have high hopes for this year's team

No mention of the flu he's battling, huh? Interesting.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, mox. "The flu."

I'm surprised you guys aren't saying he donated a kidney to a dying child minutes before first pitch.

Naw, he's waiting to rip it out of Puig with his bare hands the next time they meet. No need to give his own.

He got the flu caring for sick orphans.

And proceed to give up 12 runs in the next 5 innings.

I don't expect the Giants to score 12 in 40+ games this year, but this is a potent offense.

Very potent with the bunts.

So you are saying this is NOT a potent offense?

No, I've just never seen so many perfectly laid bunts. Really helps string an inning along, and the fact that the Giants have many fast players who hit for average leads to situations like going first-to-third on singles and stuff like that. It's interesting and unorthodox. Should have sat Wood down after the 5th though, we had no momentum whatsoever after that 2nd rally.

Ok. Gotcha.

I can't disagree with this post. This is not a traditional potent offense with boppers up and down the lineup. It is a pesky lineup with .280+ hitters all throughout.

And I would have it no other way...this lineup is strategically built for their ballpark, offensively AND defensively.
