On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The number one thing we learned is that the Giants' bats went ice cold in DC. Brandon Belt and Steven Duggar struck out almost every time they came to the plate, and mainstays like Buster Posey, Mike Yastrzemski, and Brandon Crawford didn't do much either (although Posey's solo homer was enough to secure a 1-0 win in the first game).
We also learned that Anthony DeSclafani is a very good starter for the Giants, something that was in doubt after he allowed 10 earned runs to the Dodgers recently. Mike Tauchman continued to scuffle at the plate, but made another game-saving catch, robbing Juan Soto of a homer in the Giants' 1-0 win on Friday.
Finally, we learned that Tauchman's spot on the roster continues to be safe because he doesn't have minor league options, and that Duggar could be optioned to get Darin Ruf back onto the roster as early as today. Also, Curt Casali came off the IL, with Chadwick Tromp headed back to Triple-A; Caleb Baragar was also optioned to add Yastrzemski off the IL. John Brebbia, signed in the offseason and recovering from Tommy John surgery, is also close to returning off the IL.
