Not a bad first road trip. Taking 2 out of 3 in SD is no mean feat. (Although the Pads are a little shot handed missing Tatis, Grisham (who killed the Giants last year) and Nola). Starting pitching shined.Gausman looks like an ace. Love the fact that he’s getting outs earlier in the count. His pitch counts have been low. Bullpen an issue (although Rogers giving up an HR to Myers, who is a sure first time HOF player (if he could only play against Giants) didn’t bother me. He’s thrown fairly well. Wisler is a key guy. And you have to wonder in last year was a fluke. He was pretty bad his entire career prior to 2020. Giants need a tight handed power arm out of pen.
Hitting should pick up. But man do they need to cut down on strikeouts.
Still, a rather encouraging first week.
