Giants' Strategic Mastery Leaves Sultanes Scrambling for Answers

This game might have been about setting the team up for Opening Day, but it ended up being about the future.

A few other notes:

  • Also homering was Tyler Fitzgerald, which was great to see. He had a really tough camp, but his speed, power, and versatility make him so intriguing. He’ll be fighting to work his way back to the roster (he was optioned already) and should get plenty of chances if he performs well in Sacramento.

  • Solid days for the outfielders who are still in camp trying to earn a spot. In addition to Oliva’s 2-3 day, Luis Matos drew a walk in his only plate appearance, while Drew Gilbert singled. Will Brennan went 0-1, and Jerar Encarnación didn’t play.

  • Matt Chapman made some fantastic defensive plays. He looks about as ready as ready can be.

  • Kruk and Kuip had quite a join them for in-game interviews: Posey, Arráez, Logan Webb, and Sergio Romo. It was a lot of fun.

  • The five hardest-hit balls of the day for the Giants: Ramos’ flyout (104.5 mph); Oliva’s infield single (103.9); Eldridge’s home run (103.8); Adames’ big fly (102.3); and a Schmitt single (101.4).

  • The team’s final exhibition game is on Tuesday, again at Oracle Park, again against Sultanes, and again at 6:45 p.m. PT on NBC Bay Area. It will be interesting to see whether the Giants use a regular lineup again, or if they give their veterans a day off before Opening Day.
