Even if Pederson hit one into the water I still don’t think removing Luciano was the right move.
Agree. Completely. That’s Kapler. They had a right handed pitcher, so it called for bringing in your left-handed pinch-hitter. Bottom seven, leading off, up 2. Never mind, this is your number one hitting prospect and the pitcher is some guy who’s had a total of six innings in the major leagues. Or, the moment. Giant fans have been waiting for this. As it turns out he lost two ABs.
Kapler manages by computer. And I get the impression he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. I’d be really interested to know what his reputation is across major league baseball. I simply can’t warm up to the guy. He just bugs the hell out of me.

8-3 win tonight, home run by Austin Slater. Giants were 5/10 with runners in scoring position.
Bought four tickets for the game on Saturday. Judging by the price and availability, I'd say this is going to be a very good year for the Giants, attendance-wise.
So far, it is not….
