Glasses Up | A's 1, Giants 0
There were 278 pitches thrown Wednesday night. The sixth was hit for a home run.
Sixty-seven batters came to the plate Wednesday night. The first hit a home run and decided the game. What happened with the remaining 66 hitters in the Giants' 1-0 loss? Double plays. Errors. Another critical play (rightfully) went against the Giants after replay review.
If your glass is half full, admire that the Giants' bullpen has allowed two runs across two bullpen games ... in the last week. Their 1.54 bullpen ERA is by far the best in baseball. The next closest team has a 2.25 ERA.
If your glass is half empty, the offense sputtered again. Darin Ruf is 10-for-69 this season. Curt Casali is 4-for-23 with one walk. Joc Pederson left injured.
How's your glass look?
