Went back and looked through the velocity readings. Mostly 97 that inning, one 98.2. Doesn't seem like any kind of injury/fatigue. All the way up to a 3.49 ERA, which is probably about average for the NL and is going to be misread to say that he hasn't been an excellent pitcher his first 6 starts before hitting a wall and apparently not having his slider to get hitters off his FB and change.

maxjusttyped Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Since he's having a good year, this tweet caused me to look up how well Luis Gonzalez has done against RHP this year. He's currently slashing .377/.420/.541 against them. Obviously that isn't sustainable, but every time I watch part of a Giants game he seems to be doing good things. It sure would be nice having him as a 4th outfielder or possible RF option right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 3/5 now up to .338 and .860 one of the craziest games of the season so far against the Mets who went from 8-2 down to 11-8 up to 11-11 tied bases loaded bottom of the 8th. Joc Pederson with HR #10 tied it with a two out 3 run Homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Joc Pederson with three homers all with runners on base...last time someone beat that was Willie Mays with 4 in 1961. Almost like an ex Sox with how much Sox talk "ink" has been spilled on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 13-12 Giants win, Joc Pederson with three homers and 8 RBIs including the game tying one...Brandon Crawford drove in the winner, Ruf scored ahead of Canha's throw incredibly. Edwin Diaz torched. Snapped the SF losing streak too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Joc hitting 3 HR's in a game is the type of thing that makes you wonder if they're working in the juiced ball again. But man, he would have made a big difference on the White Sox this year. oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my god going by that chart this is the worst left handed hitting club in MLB history? Unbelievable 4. Luis González, OF, Giants (2 first-place votes) The Giants claimed González off waivers from the White Sox last season and, after releasing him prior to the non-tender deadline, re-signed him to a Minor League contract last December. The 26-year-old opened this season in the Minors, but he quietly has been one of San Francisco’s best hitters since his callup on April 22, posting a .338/.385/.475 slash line while seeing time at all three outfield spots. He’s even made three pitching appearances, two of them in consecutive games mlb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Its wild that even SF released him and NO ONE would sign him to a deal, and he had to go back on an MiLB deal, and now he's doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can make "Caulfield's Thread About Joc Pederson" or you can just post about him in the MLB thread, but like, this thread is explicitly about former Sox players.

Quin Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anyway, Josh Harrison has been worth the same fWAR (-0.2) as Madrigal. Semien (-0.4) is only slightly better than Leury (-0.5). Whole lotta suck in that sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Rodon slides to 4-4 with a mid 3’s ERA. Surprising to lose to Cincy, though. Kimbrel back to throwing 97, knuckle curve at 87-89. Gave up two runs in non save situation (6-2 lead), but managed to putting the tying run at the plate for the last two hitters. Escaped.
