[Giants]

Current Giants record is 6-11, a run rate that gets then to 57-105.

Bailey, hitting .136, Bader hitting .115. Koss at Oliva at .143. JHL had two hits last night, now hitting .207. Devers up to .212, Ramos up to .226By way of comparison, Mike Krukow's career hitting percentage was .193.

GREAT 2B pickup Luis Arraez is at .333, Adames (leading league in doubles with 9) is at .273 as is Chapman. Casey Schmitt, .341; Susac at .583.

It all boils down to a MLB-worst 3.06 runs per game. And Bailey leads MLB catchers in stolen bases allowed with 13. He's only caught two runners, a rate of 13.3% (MLB average is 20.4%)

How soon before Susac starts, or a panicky call up of Bryce Eldridge?

Leave Eldridge in Sacramento until May (at the earliest) He has no position to play right now with SF since Devers is at 1B, Arraez at 2B and Schmitt at DH.  

At best, Susac should be platooning with Bailey.  We still don’t know if Susac can hit consistently over a longer timespan or if he is a flash in the pan (see Matos/Fitzgerald).  

The big problem right now is the lack of production from the OF’s.  Quite frankly, I cannot remember a worse season start by Giants’ outfielders.  

In The Athletic, Baggerly made some cogent points in his mailbag this morning.  Add to those Brisbee’s observations yesterday, I think we have a pretty good idea why things are going so poorly at this time.
