I’d be tempted to stretch richards out.

 

[MK78]

40 pitches 3 innings, I don't think he goes out for the 4th.

 

[Eyedea]

This ump’s strikezone is massive

 

[MK78]

It was great effort from Richards & Francis, combined 7 innings 1 run.

Too bad they are burning these guys in a repeated fill-in bullpen day role. They need to figure out something soon with Manoah's spot.

 

[MK78]

Team RISP 6-13 (Varsho 1-2, Chapman 1-2, Springer 1-1, Merrifield 1-2, Belt 0-1, Guerrero Jr. 0-2, Jansen 1-2, Bichette 1-1).

WeLL Ryu is rehabbing now so hopefully, he's decent when he's finally ready

 

[phillipmike]

Gurriel has a .171 batting average in the last month.

Varsho: 2.1 bWAR
Gurriel and Moreno: 2.6 bWAR

Both Gurriel and Moreno have come back down to earth which is expected for Lourdes but alarming for Moreno.

I like our guy. No take backs.

I don't know what other catching options Arizona has, but Moreno probably isn't far from being sent to AAA. He's lost the starting job to Kelly, and spending that much time on the bench can't be helpful for his development.

 

[canucksfan]

Month of June he has an wRc of 15.

 

[Eyedea]

Month of June he has an wRc of 15.

And Gurriel's wRC+ is 39. Varsho's been scuffling a bit as of late too but he's been hitting the ball a lot harder this month (EV up from 86.6 March-May to 91 in June). Based on overall contributions the trade is looking pretty even, though obviously both teams are expecting more from their C of the future and ~4-5 win OFer.

I dunno how much Ryu will have coming out of the gate after 1+ year off due to Tommy John.

He's no spring chicken.

No but he’s also had a year off with no travel. Now he just has to build his arm back up

 

[canucksfan]

Kirk's framing at the bottom of the zone is so good

It really is. And it's funny because there have been two called strikes to Davis today and according to Gameday they both just clipped the edge of the zone. Davis just got himself (and his manager) tossed over two pitches that were, at worst, borderline. Kind of a dumb reaction there.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL goodbye, Davis and Kapler.

Both pitches that Davis argued about clipped the zone. Seems like the ump has been fine outside of the first strike to Matos.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Bassitt is going to K everyone, isn't he

 

[MK78]

Bassitt is going to K everyone, isn't he

Looks like he might suffer the same fate as Gausman did two days ago.

They can't hit a beachball.

 

[Patmac40]

Oh good, Pederson turning into prime Keirmaier for an inning

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Looks like he might suffer the same fate as Gausman did two days ago.

They can't hit a beachball.

And when they do, the Giants D is coming up big

 

[Discoverer]

They've hit all kinds of balls well tonight and have had shit luck. "Can't hit a beachball" is what the Giants have been doing.

 

[canucksfan]

Solid outing for Bassit

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Damn, what a start by Bassitt. He was a bit wild at times but still managed to get 12 K (18 swinging strikes). Don't think he gave up hard contact

 

[MK78]

They are getting owned by a guy in his 3rd major league game.

I guess Vladdy heard me. LOL.

 

[Forgotusername]

Vladdy getting ready for the homerun derby.
