I liked what Moose said at the end of the game yesterday...something about how the numbers don't matter, it's all about the win...and the numbers will be there.
We saw Moose hit his first career opposite field home run in terrible hitting weather, lay down a beautiful sac bunt (even though I thought it was a dumb move on Ned), rip a ball down the line 1 inch foul, and laid off some really tough pitches that Hosmer couldn't lay off a few batters later. If he approaches the plate like that this year ... he could literally be a monster. |

Moose had a good first AB. I know he struck out, but he saw 8 pitches. I can live with that.

Also, that ball was a foot foul, not an inch. But he did smoke it.

It was 158 including the postseason, I believe. Most in 40 years or so, as I remember.

I loved that we just rocked the Sux prized FA pitcher. That guy was supposed to help shore up their rotation. The Sux were highly overrated in the offseason and will be fighting it out with the Twins to stay out of last place.

So we made 24 outs yesterday. Going off memory, I know we had two double plays. One was a base running error by Rios, and the other was Cain not hustling down the line late in the game. We also had at least one sacrifice (Moose). That's three outs given away, so really 21 batters made outs while attempting to reach base.
We had 13 hits and 5 walks, so 18 batters reached base safely compared to 21 who didn't. Remove Infante, and the majority of our at bats ended up reaching base safely. To my eye, it really looked like our hitters came to the plate with a plan to see more pitches and not get themselves out. I'm curious to see if this continues. Getting into the opposing team's bullpen should be a huge priority for us this year.

Rios got such an incredible jump, Salvy HAD to take that pitch. Rios was sliding into 2B at the same time the ball's flight path entered the outfield. Hitters are responsible for protecting baserunners, too, unless they're making a concerted effort to hit the ball on the ground.

Giants ran into some of the same issue with Posey.
