After today's 6-1 win, Giants are 34-20, 2nd best record in baseball, best in NL, lead the Padres by 1/2 game and Dodgers by 2.5 games. Incidentally, the Giants own the tiebreaker over the Padres by virtue of a 5-4 record vs. the Padres this season. After 54 games, the Giants were 29-25 (2010), 30-24 (2012) and 35-19 (2014).
Slater's been pinch-hitting a lot lately, and the former Stanford star let Kapler know he wasn't wild about his playing time selections (Kapler mentioned it in the post-game interview today, Slater has said nothing publicly). Slater's doing much better that Dickerson and Tauchman, not as good as Duggar or Ruf (who's injured). Slater and Yaz are doing about as well as each other.
Anyway, the formula seems to be working.
