Randy Rodriguez is up for the 1st time with the #sfgiants. He has been on the 40-man for 2+ years now. Off to a good start with Sacramento, posting a 1.69 ERA in 10 outings. Above-average fastball.

The Giants are 0-6 with a minus-47 run differential (💀💀💀) in the “Snell or should’ve been Snell” turn in the Giants rotation. This is not good! Also, why is Mason Black still at Triple-A? Analysis: theathletic.com/5465989/2024/0…

CONTEXT: (USED TO BE .255-.260 WAS AVERAGE NOT NOW)

Ben Kaspick

⁦‪@BenKaspick‬⁩

Speaking of league average, here's what the average MLB hitter has done this year:

.239 AVG
.313 OBP
.383 SLG

So ... before being disgusted by someone's .230-something batting average, just know that that's normal in 2024.

The biggest takeaway from Mat Ishbia's media availability Wednesday?

Major roster changes don't appear to be coming in Phoenix.

But are big tweaks needed after a failed 2023-24 campaign? ⁦‪@DougHaller‬⁩ analyzes ⤵️
