2024 San Francisco Giants Season Thread | Page 15

Not sure if you guys saw but Bryan Stow, the dude who got maimed at Dodger stadium threw out the first pitch. Crazy dude is alive and walking now.

Kudos to Kapler for giving Cueto the opportunity to close it out. Not managing by analytics there, which many here seem to think that's all Kapler is.

Kapler trying to prove to the fans that he can let a SP go deep. I was actually shocked he sent him out for the 9th. I don't even think Bruce Bochy would've let Cueto throw 118 pitches this early in the season.

I was shocked as well. I dont think many managers would have let him go after he gave up the leadoff triple. I wouldnt have to be honest.

Yeah, I figured the only explanation was him being in front of the fans for the first time, he wanted to shed the fan reputation for being uptight and new age about pitch counts.

118 is a s**t ton this early but that was really cool to see it breakdown. Love how he checked with Buster and Posey "he's solid!" Lol I was just asking earlier today "wouldn't it be nice to see a Giants pitcher go a complete game"
