Postgame 2-0 Victory

Tyler Anderson’s last outing with the Giants went about like this.

Today, a double by Nolan Schanuel and then a double by Zach Neto

led to a run in the second inning

on a fielder’s choice benefiting Kyren Paris. This was all the scoring for many innings of the game. I guess I’ll just have to tough it out.

Things went on and on. We got to the eighth when you begin to wonder about bullpen strategy if you hadn’t before. Ryan Zeferjahn came in to pitch the eighth. He did fine for a couple of outs until Jung Ho Lee drew a walk. It’s cool Zeferjahn struck out Matt Chapman to end the inning.

The Angels couldn’t do anything in their part of the eighth. Taylor Ward narrowly missed out on bonehead play of the week when he was nearly doubled up in a weird way.

Kenley Jansen held on for the save. Jo Adell with the final putout. Angels won 2-0!

Anderson and the pen were nails against a very good-hitting Giants lineup. Two oddly good-to-great fielding plays by Heef, 9 putouts by Jo in CF, and that array of lucky doubles and an error for the 2 runz won it.

Tough luck loss for Logan Webb. He had what? 12 Ks over 6? No walks, only 4 hits. “The loser.” Jeez…

Ward: swung and K’d on a pitch that was literally 3 feet outside, then thought he hit into a DP, only to barely beat out bad throw at 1st when he was walking back to the dugout through the infield. Doofus!

And we won the game.

MNT with 3 Ks. Batting .171 now. Yikes. He looked plain awful at the plate. Do I expect him to start knocking the cover off the ball? Yea, I do. But it can’t come too soon.

Paris also made a nice play on an absolute rocket . Sucking up a hard smash right at him to quell one of the G men’s late inning rallies . I kept thinking Wash & Goins had to be a proud parents after watching that play knowing the stated concerns over Paris defense . And then I got to thinking , you know Swaggy Z and young Kyren could make a pretty good looking double play combo for years to come . …

Let’s also not forget that Webb pitched an excellent game as well. Trout wasn’t the only Angel that came up empty. Dude was dealing.

Like every other scrub and loser who is lucky enough to face us. Think Pat Corbin.

Trout has spent his entire career at being “patient” and taking the 1st pitch to intentionally get deeper into counts. Early on, he was good enough to be effective when down 2 strikes but, not now.

Pitchers are throwing complete meatballs on the 1st pitch. He needs to swing at those. It’s often the most hittable pitch he’s going to see during most at bats.

It’s cool to watch young & vibrant “Plus Athletes” perform at this stage.

Neto is the real deal.

Great win, but sadly it is getting close to validating Trout is washed. Joey Gallo part 2, or if you’re older and watched the 80’s Rob Deer part 2. Hit 20 Hr, bat under 200 and lead the league in strikeouts. I’m a total fan but he is a silly easy out now. As if he just can’t see the ball anymore.

That line up was way way better. All that picking and licking and fidgeting about the line up was totally worth it. I thought a bunch of people were total morons for getting their nostrils out about line ups all the time. But now my eyes are open.

Hell yeah, hopefully TA is worth a lot when we trade him in a couple months.

Jansen will be worth a lot by mid-June at this rate. Hell yeah. Ward and Rengifo, maybe even Soler. Plus Anderson.

But don’t be sad. We will still have Anderson and also Anderson on the team. The spare Andersons.

The Heef also made a nice grab on a liner in the 2nd inning.

Game balls to Tyler “I don’t need no stinkin’ Velo” Anderson.

Jo Adell with 3 knocks and Paris forming a nice tandem with Zach.

Nice high level win against a really good team.

It bodes well when you can win in spite of the top 5 guys doing F’ All.

Yes Sir, batting order.

It may not be long before Neto is hitting in the top 3rd.

I was wrong. I thought they’d lose the opener tonight. I’m happy to be wrong. I watched the game with the sound off (you know why). Ward, Man, you’re tripping out there.

1-0 with Zach Neto! Nice to have our best player back 😇.

Tyler Anderson sporting a tidy 2.08 ERA is fun

And… Outdueled the Giants Ace. \Who had that one on their bingo card?

Not sure he’ll be tracking down Big D or Orel Hershiser but TA’s scoreless streak now at 12-2/3 innings.

3.00 is tidy. 2.08 ERA is Ace Level.

Not saying TA is an “Ace” but, he’s punching above his weight for sure.
