Sixth straight win last night, longest streak of the season. Stanford's own Slater went 3 for 5 in the leadoff spot with two doubles, two runs scored. His line is now .235/.308/.403/.711. Really nice to see, as was Littell's pitching performance when McGee melted down and gave up a two run HR and loading the bases for C. J. Cron, the N.L.'s most dangerous hitter. Cron, batting .429. with a 1.357 OPS over the last week as struck out by Littell on four pitches.
Giants are now 75-41, a .646 win rate, which projects to 105 wins. It's the 8th highest win rate over 138 seasons for the franchise, and the highest win rate since 1913. In all of MLB, the Giants have the #11 BA (.246), #4 OPS (.766) and #1 in HRs (176), with #8 in most runs scored (576). They have the #3 overall ERA (3.33), and #1 WHIP (1.12). they have the #1 fielding average (.987), and the highest defensive efficiency (.719) which is the percentage of balls put into play converted into outs.
And now they have Crawford for two more seasons. Be nice to get Posey for two more. The Giants' awesome depth (In Farhan We Trust) has converted the oldest roster in MLB into the most flexible roster in MLB because Farhan has hit on such a high percentage of his signings. And Connor Joe, Opening Day flop in 2019 signed by Farhan, is hitting .287/.357/.487/.844 as the Rockies' leadoff hitter. So Farhan wasn't wrong, just two years too early...
