Three in a row

The Giants opened the season with three good starts and they won two of those games. They then followed that with three lousy starts including last night’s stinker from ace Logan Webb. Naturally they lost all three games.

I think the lineup is a big improvement even if it is not yet firing on all cylinders. The fielding was terrible in 2023 and it ought to be quite a bit better in 2024. The bullpen—who knows? But the strength of the team I think will be the starting pitching. There is a lot of depth and talent there. The rotation will make or break this season so I hope it gets in a groove real soon.

The Joey Bart era is over. He was traded to the Pirates for a minor-league righty named Austin Strickland. It’s too bad things didn’t work out for him in San Francisco. I think there’s still a good chance he’ll be a quality major-leaguer.

Kyle Harrison gets the start in LA tonight (7:10 Pacific).

Go Giants!
