dominant pitching

Perfectly average, for better or worse. 2.9 RA/G this stretch. The pitching is carrying weight. But the offense at 3.0 R/G is pulling the temperature down.

Giants News

The San Francisco Giants handled the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 last night, but that win was overshadowed by the grim news of Carson Whisenhunt's UCL tear, which will likely require Tommy John surgery. The Giants are already feeling the pinch with injuries, as they lost another starter, Adrian Houser, during the game, leaving their rotation in shambles. On a brighter note, the team did call up several players, sparking discussions about who might make the 2027 roster. Yet, while some fans dream of Shohei Ohtani abandoning the Dodgers for the Bay, it’s best to temper those hopes. With a record of 53-78, the Giants are caught in a cycle of lukewarm performances and mounting injuries, making it tough to envision a bright future anytime soon.
