Webb had 12 stakeouts compared to Cole's 11. Webb ended up giving up four earn runs. Giants have no bats, going to be a long ass year.

Baggarly’s got impeccable Giants sources so when he writes this in the Athletic:
Giants president Farhan Zaidi shook up several assumptions held both inside and outside their clubhouse. Speedy outfielder Bryce Johnson did not make the opening-day roster following a strong spring in which he stole 12 bases in 12 attempts. Neither did right-hander Sean Hjelle, who opened eyes with his velocity bump and earned consistent praise. Instead, the club backed away from every public pronouncement in order to acquire first baseman/outfielder Matt Beaty from the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations.
NEW YORK — Rewarding young players from the system who have tremendous springs isn’t always possible on Opening Day, but the San Francisco Giants had sent signals the past week or two that Bryce Johnson and Sean Hjelle would be with them at Yankee Stadium.Instead, the Giants picked up onetime Dodgers outfielder Matt Beaty, who didn’t make the Royals roster, and sent Johnson, who has elite speed and led the majors with 12 steals this spring, to Triple-A Sacramento. Hjelle also was optioned after a magnificent spring that drew raves; the team already has seven starters on the roster and two days off the first week, which meant innings were likely to be scarce.

Yaz has looked lost, not only after two years, but this spring training as well. I know it's only the second game of 2023 but at least he looked Major League today.

I think it is too early to tell but the White Sox park is a bandbox. They were saying on the telecast that only the Cincinnati park has more home runs on a given day.

Coming off a .500 season, the Giants went 3-3. They had 15 homers in the three wins and 11 hits in the three losses.
I guess I'm happy but this team needs to strike out less.

Kinda funny Muncy mentions the cold because there was a heat wave for this past series (65F! I'm sunburnt!), quite unseasonably warm for early spring but yes windy... tho not nearly as windy as Candlestick was. That said, if you can hit the ball a couple hundred feet in the air into the 40mph gusts the last few nights and see just see where it goes. Mookie definitely looked lost a few times and couldn't tell where the ball would land, I think Kershaw needed close to 30 pitches to get out of the 1st.

Webb will make $8 million next year, $12 million in 2025 and $23 million in what would have been his first year of free agency. He will make $23 million in 2027 and $23 million in 2028. In addition, Webb will make yearly donations to the Giants Community Fund totaling nearly half a million dollars.

His minor league sample suggests that he is due for a massive regression:
MiLB stats: 30 HRs in 853 ABs (3.5% HR/AB), .777 OPS in AAA (only 1 HR in each of his 2 AAA seasons)MLB stats: 2 HRs in 12 ABs (16.7% HR/AB), 2.000 OPS in MLB
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 May 2023 13:44 (one year ago) link
Yeah seems legit but while I’m sure that will happen, I just want to be happy for him while he’s in the early stages. It’s nice to see young players come up and give the team a boost, I have this with my other team (the zmariners) and Bryce Miller atm. Let’s see.

My six weeks report cards for 2023. I have watched just about every game so far. So yeah, negative Nancy. This team is not good and they are not fun to watch but I seem to like torture. They either strike out or hit a home run. They lose to the worst teams in the league. They were on this role where they would go ahead and then just stop scoring. Our bullpen would then just give it up. Interesting because the bullpen was supposed to be a strength.
Positives, Yaz he is having an unbelievable start but got hurt. Wade Jr is also doing really well and is very patient at the plate. I thought both these guys would be gone by June based on recent track records. Estrada is worth the time to watch. He is off to an amazing start and that part is fun. He is going to be the Giants all -star and will belong as long as he doesn't regress too much.
Kapler bullpen management is horrible, he gets the closer ready every game, drives me nuts. He's not thinking of the future, maybe he thinks his butt is on the line.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 13 May 2023 01:39 (one year ago) link
Example, last night game he gets Doval up with a two run lead. Acceptable and sitting after the Giants went up six. The bullpen was leaking and now the lead becomes four, he puts in the closer. We are playing the DBacks , probably fighting this team for a play off spot by end of year. He brings in the closer, it was only two runs. He is burning Doval up and we are only six weeks in.
Who am I kidding 500 or bust this year.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 13 May 2023 02:06 (one year ago) link
Thairo is really special. I haven’t watched even half as many games as you but I can tell that!Re the bullpen management, he’s not exactly unique in this in the league and unfortunately you have to use your relievers when the starters aren’t getting it done. Add to that the number of relievers performing poorly in key situations, though at least Taylor R has settled a bit. But yeah, as long as Stripling and Manaea are underperforming you’re going to need a lot of innings taken care of, especially with the lineup being kind of patchy.
