Goodbye, Late Night and Sam Huff.  

I can’t say much for the replacements, Dom Smith and Andrew Knizner.  However, a .220 hitter with an occasional HR would be welcome at this point.

SF is giving the 1906 “Hitless Wonders” a run for their money.

I don't expect a lot out of the recent arrivals. But Daniel Johnson went 2 for 4 with a stolen base and what I think of as a game-saving catch in his first game. And last night, new first baseman Dominic Smith (who made an amazing catch two nights ago) went 3 for 4 with a double and two RBI. Jerar Encarnacion went 0-4, but didn't strike out against Cease, Morgan or Matsui (the Giants had 11 strikeouts in all, just two from the three new guys) and he had a nice catch in LF. Tyler FItzgerald on the other hand, had 3K's in three plate appearances and Chapman and Adames had two each. Adames is now below the Mendoza line at .198. Not concerned because Adames typically comes on later in the year.

Ramos having a (near) All Star season (.289/.358/.489/.848). Jung Hoo Lee, very popular with the crowds, was on base three of four times last night, not quite all-star, but doing very well (.276/.326/.439/.765).

Robbie Ray leads the majors with eight wins. Rodriguez had a wild pitch but got his seventh hold. Doval had a shaky save with two hits. 

2-0 vs. the Padres since the roster shakeup.
