5th inning: 7-11
After Friday night’s embarrassing drubbing the team really needed a win and they got one behind Logan Webb and 4 RBI from Willy Adames.
It hasn’t been a good stretch for the ballclub. After 90 games (48-42, .533) they are tied with the Padres for second place, eight games behind LA (56-34). After this series they have six more home games before the All-Star Break. Three of those games are with the Dodgers.
The team is slashing .231/.311/.373 and the MLB average is .246/.316/.399. That’s lead to 375 runs (4.17 rpg), with the league averaging 390 (4.38 rpg). I think we know this team does not score enough!
The pitching has been very good despite some recent blips. They allow only 3.88 rpg, good for sixth-best behind TEX, HOU, KC, PIT, and DET. They are number two in ERA (3.45) behind the Rangers and number one in FIP (3.57). We know the bullpen is a big part of that, we saw last night that when Webb faltered in the 7th Randy Rodriguez took care of business. As far as All-Stars go, RandyRo is certainly deserving as is 8th-inning man Tyler Rogers. Starters Robbie Ray and Webb are no-brainers.
Fielding-wise the Giants aren’t bad, but they aren’t good, either. They are certainly better than last season. They have 51 errors which is pretty bad as the league average is 46. Funny thing is that there are 21 teams with fewer than 46 errors! The top teams really have a lot of errors and it skews the list. As far as defensive efficiency goes, that is, turning balls-in-play into outs, the Giants .694 mark is just below league average (.697). The Giants are above-average in putouts and assists but their 65 DP is just below the league mark of 67.
The trade deadline is July 31st. What will the Giants have to do to stay in the race?
Hayden Birdsong at 7:05 tonight. Go Giants!
