The Tuesday Brisbee article on the Giants monthly stats of interest demonstrated how the team has way cut down on its strikeouts since April. Last night, in bottom of 9th Matos and Schmitt both drew walks around a Bailey single before Pederson drew a game winning walk himself.
What has turned the free swinging Giants into strike zone savants? It sure seems to me you have to give credit to the coaching staff because it is team-wide. They only struck out 6 times last night, and that was after 5/6 batters whiffed over the first 2 innings. They drew 5 walks. On Monday they drew 7, 3 Sunday, 6, Sat, and 8 on Friday. The Giants have only struck out 10 times in first two games of Padres series.
And another 35k attendance night to cheer ANOTHER late inning comeback victory!
