Really didn't like sending out Matos for Yaz. The rookie has not been great, but he has held his own for sure, and he seems to have been getting more solid contact. I also felt there was a little spark to his game that was part of the youth exuberance responsible for the 3 game uptick. It's possible sending Matos out so Yaz could come back deflated the team a bit, not because they don't like Yaz, but Matos was one of the youngsters providing the team energy.
Giants finish August 11-16 just like I feared was their ceiling for the month. Turning to September, they have 29 games left to play. What record will they need to eke into the playoffs? Historically the last NL Wild Card teams aren't too far above .500.
I will guess giants must go at least 16-13 to finish 85-77 and make the playoffs.
