If we are going to sit Carter and Smith in games against tough lefties, we need to have better RH hitters to take their place. We also need Bochy to quit over-trusting certain guys like Knizner.

I really wish we would have kept Huff as our backup catcher. Bochy has a blindspot with Knizner like he did with Grossman last year.

wasn’t watching, didn’t know it was a inside the park homer. But still a homer.

Besides that the lefty/righty thing can get ridiculous. Especially if the righty can't hit a pitcher regardless of which arm they use to throw the ball.

Props to our bullpen. This is turning into an outstanding bullpen.

The difference in Dane Dunning this year in his first 6 starts compared to his first 6 starts last year:

2023

6 starts, 33.1 IP, 22 K

2024

6 starts, 32.2 IP, 39 K

Now if he can continue to keep the other team from scoring much, like he did today and against the Tigers a couple of starts ago.
