Atrocious pitching costs Giants
We’ve seen a lot of bad baseball this season and today’s performance was no exception. The lack of execution by the pitchers reached new levels of ineptitude. In the four-run 6th that decided the game the Rockies scored their first two runs without the benefit of a hit. Four walks, a wild pitch, and a hit batsman put them ahead. A two-run single with two outs (off the third pitcher of the inning) sealed the deal.
The fans were booing, and the team deserved it. Too many of the pitches thrown today were not competitive. The opposing hitters had it way too easy. It took five Giants hurlers 134 pitches to get through seven frames. Only 76 were strikes. They were Blade Tidwell, Sam Hentges, JT Brubaker, Riever Sanmartin, and Keaton Winn. The Rockies scored all their runs on only eight hits. They got TEN walks and whiffed just twice (through the 7th). Colorado didn’t score in the 8th or 9th (Trent Harris and Jason Foley got the final six uneventful outs.)
Pitching coach Justin Meccage, assistant pitching coach Christian Wonders, and bullpen coach Jesse Chavez need to explain why they should be re-hired for 2027. And Director of ML Pitching Frank Anderson really has some ‘splainin’ to do. Too many times this year the pitchers have gone out there either unprepared or unable to throw strikes and get outs. I assume there is game-planning. Why can’t they get it done? Should the whole lot of them be fired?
It doesn’t get much worse than losing the season series to the Rockies. Tomorrow is an off-day, thank god. Then they go to Cleveland for three starting Tuesday.
–M.C.
p.s. The Giants wasted a good effort by the lineup. Seven runs on nine hits and four walks should be enough. Rafael Devers (25th HR and 30th 2B) had a big day.
