Top #SFGiants performers in tonight's 2-1 win over the Cubs Jung Hoo Lee: 1-4, RBI Matt Chapman: 2-3, RBI, BB Trevor McDonald: 5 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 SO JT Brubaker: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 SO Caleb Kilian: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO Keaton Winn: 1 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, W Dylan Smith: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO

Keaton Winn threw his slider a couple of times in that inning. He started throwing it with more regularity a couple years ago as a starter, and there were times where it looked like a potential major league pitch. He's been more of a sinker-splitter as a reliever.

Bo Davidson now has an .810 OPS with 11 home runs and 34 RBI in 170 at-bats this season. He tallied 10 hits, including 5 home runs, with 8 RBI in 26 at-bats in the six-game series against Erie this week.

Carson Whisenhunt led all Triple-A pitchers yesterday with 22 whiffs -15 whiffs on the changeup -1 whiff on the fastball -6 whiffs on the slider

#SFGiants bullpen stats (and MLB rank) in 2026 4.27 ERA (18th in MLB) 4.45 FIP (24th in MLB) -0.7 fWAR (26th in MLB) 7.54 K/9 (29th in MLB) 4.83 BB/9 (27th in MLB)

#SFGiants MiLB probable starters today San Jose: RHP Cody Delvecchio (0-1, 4.28 ERA) Eugene: TBD Richmond: RHP Yunior Marte (0-0, 3.86 ERA) Sacramento: RHP Blade Tidwell (0-0, 6.75 ERA)

A combo of stats I like to look at to see who I think translates to MLB, K% > 30%, BAA < .200, HR/9 <.56 (I adjust up and down depending on HR environment for that year). Two Giants prospects qualify out of six total across affiliated baseball (min: 40 IP), Joe Whitman and Luis De La Torre.

#SFGiants 6/6 MiLB roundup ACL (W 5-3) Santiago Camacho: 2-4, 2B, 2 RBI Angel Guzman: 1-3, HR, RBI Leandro Rodriguez: 4 IP, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO A (L 4-0) Isaiah Barkett: 2-4 Alix Hernandez: 2 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO

Luis De La Torre’s night is done for the @EugeneEmeralds and it was one of his best outings as a pro 6 IP 1 H 1 R (0 ER) 1 BB 12 SO (21 whiffs)

Both Carson Whisenhunt (Sacramento) and Luis De La Torre (Eugene) have double-digit strikeouts tonight while issuing one walk apiece.

Marginal plays thread (in my opinion): Justin Lawrence was just moved for cash. Career FIP vs RHH under 3.50. SF has no reliable high-leverage RHH options beyond Winn/Miller, forcing Winn in the 8th for Suzuki/Hoerner. Lawrence fit there and could’ve saved Winn for the 9th instead of needing 5 outs.

DATE: What about a meal? BUSTER POSEY: You’re expecting Edwin Diaz? You want Diaz, don’t you? Edwin Diaz, is that what you want?

The Giants bullpen is like if you had $5 and you’re trying to buy a five-course meal with it for you and your date.

Jung Hoo Lee scores on a sac fly by Matt Chapman. Nice at-bat to give the #SFGiants a 2-1 lead.

After Keaton Winn, the Giants' bullpen options include Tristan Beck, JT Brubaker, Sam Hentges, Dylan Smith, and Carson Seymour. Seymour is likely unavailable after throwing 3 innings yesterday.

#SFGiants MiLB probable starters today San Jose: TBD Eugene: LHP Luis De La Torre (1-4, 4.25 ERA) Richmond: RHP Trystan Vrieling (1-1, 4.35 ERA) Sacramento: LHP Carson Whisenhunt (4-2, 3.72 ERA)

Some multi-homer game numbers from the #SFGiants today -Matt Chapman's 15th time hitting 2 home runs in a game -Willy Adames 12th time hitting 2 home runs in a game -Casey Schmitt's 3rd time hitting 2 home runs in a game

Top #SFGiants performers in today's 18-3 win over the Cubs Casey Schmitt: 4-6, 2 HR, 3 RBI Luis Arráez: 2-5, 2B, RBI Willy Adames: 2-2, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB Matt Chapman: 2-3, 2 HR, 8 RBI Jonah Cox: 3-3, HR, RBI Robbie Ray: 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 BB, 4 SO, W

The Brewers averaged 8.25 runs per game in that series, and that includes being shut out. Hope the Giants can put up at least 9 runs per game.

Top #SFGiants performers in today's 12-9 win over the Brewers Casey Schmitt: 2-5, HR, 2 RBI Luis Arráez: 2-4, 2B, RBI Willy Adames: 2-6, 2B, RBI Jung Hoo Lee: 4-5, 2B, RBI Bryce Eldridge: 3-4, RBI, BB Matt Chapman: 3-5, 2B, 2 RBI Eric Haase: 1-4, HR, 4 RBI, BB Drew Gilbert: 2-5

What a weird group to lead the league in grand slams! Giants: 5 (24-38 record) Angels: 5 (24-39 record)

Jung Hoo Lee has recorded at least 4 hits in a game for the 3rd time in the past 7 games #SFGiants

Eric Haase blasts a grand slam to give the #SFGiants a 10-3 lead. That is the team's 5th grand slam this season.

Bryce Eldridge has recorded at least 3 hits for the 2nd time in the past 5 games. He has 10 hits, including 2 doubles and a home run, in 17 at-bats during that stretch #SFGiants

Opposing hitters had a 1.006 OPS against Adrian Houser in his 3rd turn through the lineup this year. He does not have enough to vary it up against hitters as he pitches deeper into games. Pretty good indicator that he will need to be Alex Wood'd.

That player in the first inning was ruled an error by Willy Adames, giving him a league-leading 11 errors on the season.

The #SFGiants scored 3 runs in the 1st inning -Casey Schmitt led off with a off home run -Bryce Eldridge RBI single -Matt Chapman RBI double

The Giants are 28th in baseball with a 4.84 rotation ERA. They have some pretty large unfavorable variances compared to FIP, so there is a case to be made that several of their pitchers have thrown better than their ERA would suggest.

I know Willy Adames' defense has not looked great so far this year, but I guess I did not expect to see him as the worst defensive shortstop in baseball.

#SFGiants MiLB roundup A (W 10-3) Isaiah Barkett: 2-5, 2B, RBI Damian Bravo: 2-4, 2 RBI, BB Hayden Jatczak: 2-3, 2B, RBI Dario Reynoso: 2-4, HR, 2 RBI Jordan Gottesman: 5 IP, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 SO A+ (L 5-2 T8) Trevor Cohen: 2-4, SB Dakota Jordan: 1-3, RBI, BB Esmerlin Vinicio: 3 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO

Daniel Susac has 5 hits in the past 2 games against the Brewers, and 4 of them have been on attacking the first pitch when the pitcher is trying to steal a strike. That is one of the reasons he has been so good to start the year. It is not exit velo. It is not barrel rate...

I say this as someone who thought it was a massive mistake to bring up Jonah Cox straight from AA: why is he on the roster if he is not starting against a LHP

Luis De La Torre (Eugene) followed up a rough April (7.50 ERA, 4 starts) with a much better May across 6 starts. He posted a 2.63 ERA with 33 strikeouts and 19 walks (still high) in 24 May innings.

Parks Harber (Richmond) is hitting .323/.390/.577 (153 wRC+) with 7 home runs, 28 RBI, and 22 runs in 146 plate appearances this year. He is sixth in the Eastern League in both batting average and wRC+.

Isaiah Barkett (San Jose) is the only qualified hitter in the California League with more walks (22) than strikeouts (14). His 8.0% strikeout rate is the lowest by a good margin. Barkett is also 6th in the league with a .345 batting average.

#SFGiants MiLB roundup ACL (L 9-2) Yulian Barreto: 1-3, RBI Rayner Arias: 2-3 Matt Dunaway: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO A (W 7-4) Hayden Jatczak: 1-3, HR, 3 RBI, BB Cam Maldonado: 3-4, HR, RBI Dario Reynoso: 3-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI Keyner Martinez: 4 IP, 0 ER, 2 BB, 9 SO Cooper McGrath: 2 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO

In 2017, the Giants were 24-37 through 61 games. They are 23-38 through 61 games this year. Only 101 more to go.

The Giants have given up at least 5 runs in 12 of the past 14 games.

Folks, I know you are disappointed that Bryce Eldridge is not in the lineup today, but this is a must-win game for them. You have to put your best foot forward to try and get back to 13 games under .500

three exciting promotions here

When the draft took place, June was a pretty common month for promotions. That still remains true, as the #SFGiants have made at least 3 promotions today. Jhonny Level: A A+ Jean Carlos Sio: A+ -> AA Matt Wilkinson: AA -> AAA

The Giants' 40-man roster is currently full, so they will need to make a corresponding roster move to add Wilkin Ramos.

Carson Whisenhunt (3.72 ERA) and Carson Seymour (4.04 ERA) are 2nd and 5th, respectively, among qualified pitchers in the PCL in ERA. The average ERA is 5.47. Whisenhunt's 0.16 HR/9 rate is the lowest by a pretty good margin.

DSL is underway. Giants have Orange and Black squads. Not a thrilling group with Hernandez in ACL, his bonus eating up pool, but Opening Day top-4 lineup spots can hint at org evals. CF Jose Valdez (17.2Y) jumps out from that. Black’s top 4 has two 22-year-olds and a 23-year-old. Not great.

A Giants promotion note from Chase Ford on the other site.

De La Torre, who’s my top ranked arm in the system, has been off to an uneven start, control wise. 31 BB in 38 IP is rough. But lots of good stuff elsewhere. Continues to be very hard to hit, 45 K, and a ton of pop ups (which are essentially SO).
