Trayce Thompson of the Red Sox just hit a Grand Slam, 5th HR this spring , leads all of Baseball. That’s why we should’nt take spring stats very seriously, he’s a career journeyman, who is good depth at Worchester. He’s also the younger brother of Klay Thompson.

Giants win 7-3. An awesome game with good performances from key players. 4 home runs (Chapman x2, JH Lee, Yaz). 3 stolen bases (McCray x2, Bailey) 4 strong innings by Verlander Strong innings by Doval, Rogers, Hjelle, and Lucchesi And yet again, no errors. Excellent!

Something that stands out for the Giants this spring: they've been playing the disciplined, smart baseball that they preached but failed to deliver this time last year. Through 13 games they have 9 errors, but only 3 from players in contention for OD roster spots.

Here in Scottsdale, Jung Hoo Lee and Matt Chapman homered back to back in the third inning, second of the game for Chapman. They're the Giants' 3-4 hitters in a lineup that could be the one we see on Opening Day.

Patrick Bailey steals second base. Here is a fun fact that you would not expect from a catcher: Bailey has 16 stolen bases in 18 opportunities as a pro. This includes going 5-5 in the majors.

Harrison's fastball release point dropped down to 4.75' yesterday (from 4.91' last year). His horizontal release also changed from 1.87' to 2.37', indicating a shift in positioning towards the first base side of the rubber.

Harrison was throwing a second slider shape in that inning. It's... not what I was hoping to see. Way softer than the other variations of gyroish sliders he's tried to throw in the past.

Rough start for Kyle Harrison, who was tagged for five runs on five hits -- including a three-run shot to Gabriel Moreno -- over one-third of an inning.

Bob Melvin said 1B Bryce Eldridge (reassigned to Giants’ minor-league camp) and OF Marco Luciano (optioned) were sent down to get regular playing time. Wouldn’t put timetable on Eldridge reaching bigs, not rushing him. Both need work defensively learning relatively new positions.

Interesting bit in the Giants notes on MLBTR. Yankees offered Stroman for Rodgers, which we turned down to later do the deal with the Reds instead. I can’t make my mind up on what I think on this. Think Stroman was probably a good miss, but we did get very little for Rodger’s in the end.

Cuts appear to be coming today, I just went to chat with Mason Black and he says he’s going to minor league camp. (That’s probably best for him, he has gotten little work in games, but I’m sure we will see him at some point this season.)
