Summary
The San Francisco Giants are starting to roll, winning 4 of their last 5 and showing signs that things might finally be coming together. We break down another strong performance, including a wild night from Eric Haase, who nearly left the yard three times and continues to fuel a surprising trend behind the plate. The numbers are hard to ignore — the Giants’ offensive production at catcher has been drastically different depending on who’s in the lineup. We also dive into what’s becoming a fascinating matchup dynamic with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who continues to struggle against the Giants, and a Los Angeles Dodgers team that suddenly looks vulnerable. Add in historical context, and this stretch is starting to feel like more than just a hot streak. Plus, early returns on Bryce Eldridge, growing questions about roster decisions, and what to make of outside perspectives — including Bob Nightengale’s reporting on past front office decisions like the Willy Adames situation. The Giants are heating up, but the big questions haven’t gone anywhere.
