After getting shut out 3-0 on Friday (on one hit) the Giants made it a little more competitive today. The result was the same, however. The Yankees complete the sweep and make it an 0-3 start for TonyV's boys. Heliot Ramos, I'd like to point out, has looked really sharp. He's had good at-bats (his was the lone hit on Friday) and has done his job in the field. Otherwise it is pretty damn bleak (.143/.212/.176).
This team should be better! It's time to start hitting. At least the bullpen has looked good.
In a weird schedule twist, the Giants are off tomorrow. (Maybe they should take some BP.) The next game is Monday night in San Diego at 6:40 Pacific.

Well, at least Dominic Smith had a key hit on Saturday night. Oops, he is not on the giants.
FanGraphs (David Laurila) tidbit:
In the decade of the 2000s, 51.8% of all MLB plate appearances came from players who were at least 29 years old. In the 2010s, that percentage dipped to 45.0%. In the 2020s, it is 42.2%. (Per Baseball America.)
Giants need someone like Bryce Eldridge to BUST OUT and start raking so he'll get called up and give the team a boost. If any team needs a STAR it is the 2026 Giants. Lots of good players but so far no SPARK.
Seems as if the giants farm system is making some odd moves. They are releasing guys to fit their 165 man minor league roster and some of the moves seem a tad flumoxxing.
It see Fitzy is gone. Too bad--I liked him. He's DFAd so they may have a chance to trade him.
At least they got something (cash) for Matos and used that to get another arm (Dylan Smith).
I hope Smith is good. But I don't see how you let go of a potential every day starting player, and end up with a reliever. At least it is more than they got for bart, as far as potential goes. Quite a few ex giants having a nice start with the Braves.
