Carson Ragsdale RHP- 5 IP, 3 H 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K.  ERA= 2.42. Ragsdale seems to have successfully recovered from major arm surgery(was it TJ or thoracic outlet?). A+:  Hillsboro Hops outlasted the Eugene Emeralds 7-5(10 innings): Diego Velasquez SS ..read more

Thairo Estrada and Mike Yastrzemski went back-to-back with solo home runs in the third inning.  The Giants tacked on another run in the inning turn another stellar start by Keaton Winn into a Win.  Key Lines: Thairo Estrada 2B- 1 for 3, HR(4).  BA= .235.  Thairo is on a pace to hit 24 HR's.  I think we'll take that. Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 3, HR(2).  BA= .236.  YtY is 8 for 18(.444) with 2 HR's over his last 7 games.

Giants need to add someone to rotation for Snell's next turn.  Jefferies, or do you drop someone and add Mason Black to the 40-man? I'd like to see Jefferies get one more start before we give up on him. AA:  ..read more

Jordan Hicks labored mightily for 5 innings and somehow left the game with the lead and a chance to record a Win.  Alas, the bullpen failed to hold amid at least two questionable umpiring calls.  Key Lines: Thairo Estrada 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .230.  Thairo has been scuffling.  Regression to career averages would help the offense significantly.  Mike Yastrzemski RF- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB.  BA= .182.  Another scuffler.  With 2 outs in the 5'th inning, the only Giants baserunner off Slade Cecconi RHP was a HBP to Jung Hoo Lee.  Estrada singled and Y ..read more
