In the last preview, 40% of people predicted a sweep, but 98% accurately predicted a series win. Jordan Hicks: Hicks throws well over 100 mph, despite being a starter. The Giants quite like facing guys like that. Hudson has just 18 strikeouts this year in 30.1 innings. That one time was not against Hudson, who gave up three earned runs in 4.2 innings, while walking four. Because that’s what he does.ĭakota Hudson: The Giants faced Hudson last week, in the game where they only struck out once. 316/.378/.596, has hit seven home runs, and is second in the National League in position player fWAR with 2.0 (which, remarkably, is still a full win off of the leader. All while still being the guy who has won the Gold Glove Award in all nine seasons of his career. But after two down years (by his superstar standards - he was still worth 4.2 fWAR last year) - Arenado is back to being the dude who finished top-eight in MVP voting five straight seasons, with four Silver Slugger Awards thrown in. Nolan Arenado: Arenado is a unanimous first-team All-Giant Killer selection. Three Cardinals to watch Photo by Thearon W. they definitely hope he stops struggling. I presume they’ll do that all year even if he keeps struggling, but. The Giants are continuing to treat him as the starting catcher, playing him twice every three-game series. But he’s mired in one helluva slump: in his last 14 games he’s hitting 4-42 with a home run, six walks, and 24 strikeouts. The strikeout issues have been as advertised, and the hard hits have been as advertised, as well. Can he be the player he was a year ago, when he was one of the top hitters in the league against lefties, league average against righties, and very strong defensively? Or will he be the guy struggled in AAA Sacramento in his rehab assignment? He’ll want to do better this time around.Įvan Longoria: Longoria returned to the roster on Wednesday, and it seems like the Giants will use him as an everyday third baseman if he can stay healthy. His last start was against the Cardinals, and he gave up four earned runs in five innings. His WHIP is 1.387, and he’s struck out just 6.9 batters per nine innings which, while nice, isn’t very nice, if you catch my drift. He entered the season as a trendy Cy Young pick for a reason, and we haven’t quite seen that this year. The Giants have won five of the six games he’s started. Yankees at Blue Jays TV: YES Friday, March 30, 7. He has a 3.82 ERA and a very gorgeous 2.64 FIP. All games will be broadcast on radio at WFAN 660/101.9 FM and WADO 1280. Logan Webb: Logan Webb has been good to start the year. Three Giants to watch Photo by Thearon W. Momentum: 1-game losing streak, 5-5 in their last 10 games Postseason standing: 3rd Wild Card, 2.5 games back in the division Momentum: 5-game winning streak, 5-5 in their last 10 games Cards Postseason standing: 2nd Wild Card, 1.5 games back in the division I think the MLB schedule makers are seeing double. And you know who they get after the Cards? That’s right, the Colorado Rockies. But that’s the reality the San Francisco Giants are facing.
