In all seriousness it has to be brutal to go from a mile up to sea level

Giants catch the Dodgers on a Coors hangover series. One down two to go

Winn’s thrown 53 fastballs (FF + SI) this season, including tonight, and he’s gotten one (1) total whiff

That said we’ll see how long he can get away with using that fastball in leverage spots

On some level you have to wonder if the Giants are wasting Winn out of the bullpen

Some insurance runs would be nice

and then letting him go out for the 5th, hmm

31 pitches, 20 balls, 1 run

Distinctly Roupp-ish inning of putting traffic on and then getting one groundball to get out of it

Appreciate Bailey just doing anything he can to give Roupp some help

although ideally it would've come hand in hand with a drop in walk rate

Roupp getting strikeouts now is a fun development

So as it turns out the Mets are a quite bad team without Literally Juan Soto

yep, he was on the 40 when they traded for him so he's in his second option year

I take that point, I just believe a lot more in Chapman's aging curve than Adames'

well that would really put a damper on this playoffs

Starting next year, Adames will be making $6MM more than Chapman per year with an extra year. And I'm not so sure Adames has more than a year or two before he's a 1.5-2 WAR player, regardless of what position he's playing

Adames might needing to move off SS is the exact reason he's the worst contract on the team

From a certain light someone (not necessarily me) could argue that the Giants have three of the worst contracts in the league on their books and Chapman isn't one of them

Trading Chapman would probably end this contention window permanently

It's wild that two teams willingly took on the Ke'Bryan Hayes and Ryan McMahon contracts at the trade deadline

Giants say Daniel Susac will miss two to three weeks with right elbow ulnar neuritis:

I guess the answer is probably that they don't expect Susac to be out very long but Haase is borderline awful defensively and his bat has been cooked for a few years

I'll try not to read into it too much but it's weird that they're selecting Haase's contract instead of recalling Rodriguez, right?

Rafael Devers first 94 PA 2025: .228/.340/.354, 30.9% K%, 71.5 avg bat speed

Rafael Devers first 94 PA 2026: .225/.266/.315, 29.8% K%, 71.2 avg bat speed

He's underperforming, but we're not seeing a wildly different player. The walks will go up. He'll start hitting the ball harder.

I’d put good money on Anunoby getting moved in the offseason

The 2023-24 Kings starting five had a net rating nearly 5 points above the Knicks starting five

With the exception of the opener yesterday, the Giants will go from 4/13 to 4/27 without facing a left-handed starting pitcher. While Bryce Eldridge is putting up a 147 wRC+ in AAA.

Miller came up as a FF/CH guy. It worked for a year, then it didn't. But he was developing the pieces he needed in the background. Since turning into a sinker/slider guy he's looked dominant: 10 strikeouts in his last 4.2 IP; only thrown one CH in his last four appearances.

always bet against the first year of an overused free agent reliever
