I'm afraid it's going to be Slater. He will come back in Sept. Of course, if pitchers keep dropping, who knows? Are the other Milwaukee pitchers as good as Burnes? And, Webb was great. I don't trust DeScalfini, so it's Gausman, Webb, Wood (always gives up 1 or 2 runs in 5 innings) and a questionable Sanchez?

Could very well be.  And he has been scuffling most recently.

As leadoff man in 10th (with runner at 2B), you have to advance the runner.  Slater Ked - and looked bad swinging at a low/outside pitch way out of the zone. BTW, last night, Crawford did a similar thing with Bryant at 2B and no outs in the 10th.  The difference was that Bryant hit a leadoff double to score the courtesy runner.  But still, Craw has to move him over - instead he struck out and Bryant didn't score.

I swear, the Giants do "the little things" poorly.  It's amazing they do the other stuff so well to keep them atop the NL West.  (And you have to love it that Giants L today is followed by a matching L from the Dodgers . . . and the Padres).
