Nice 7-0 victory over the Rays tonight. Junis and Manaea both pitched great, as did Ty Rogers and Luke Jackson, all splitting a three-hit shutout. Giants had 9 hits, and new CF Meckler went two for four with a run scored. Conforto continues the return to greatness with a 3 for 4 night. Flores and Estrada had HRs and they had just six strikeouts, even though the strike zone was of immense proportions (if you have a chance, check out Meckler's first strikeout...a quick 0-2 on pitches not within a zip code of the strike zone). Kapler got tossed by arguing that three pitches vs. Meckler weren't close to being strikes.

“Return to greatness”. Why do I hear John Facenda….

Nice win.  Maybe bats coming  alive.  Estradas HR seemed to open the gates.  Kudos to Kapler for having Mecklers back. I think his getting tossed fired them up a bit.  

Win today they go 3-3 on a very tough homestand.

Matos did well especially on D.  He did not fail miserably at all

Welcome back OF  Where is Phogge ?

Bob, was mostly referring to the veterans as failures. I don't know how sending Matos down is beneficial, but he is one of the biggest culprits for soft contact. One HR and 9 XBH in 138 AB is not good enough for MLB.

Matos is 21.  Last year at this time people were questioning if he was still a top prospect.  He will get stronger. Hit for more power. He was far from overmatched. Did some good things. It’s been a great year for him to build on.
