you are locked on Giants postcast part of locked on Sports San Francisco on the locked on podcast Network your team every day yo what's up everyone and welcome back to the lock on Giants postcast I'm your host Eric Triple E Engel you may know me as the former producer for the Murph from Mac Morning Show on kmbr and today the Giants sweep the double header against the Rockies and what a day for Giants starting pitchers after Blake Snell gave us six Innings pitched in 15ks the 22-year-old rookie Hayden Birdsong struck out eight Rockies in five shutout Innings the giant starters combined today for 11 Innings pitched zero runs and 23 strikeouts that's absolutely insane the Giants offense was much better in the second game today than they were in the first as they collected 11 hits in the back end of the double header and even batted 300 with runners in scoring position someone give this entire team medals because my God that it's an olympic size accomplishment for this giant Squad and just for good measure Tyler Fitzgerald did it again another another one another blast over the wall and this kid might be the hottest hitter in all of baseball right now we'll break it all down but

reliable way to get parts fast shop for your next Plumbing HVAC or electrical job and get fast shipping from coast to coast at supplyhouse.com this one Giants got on the board early bottom One horge S singles leadoff single and Mike Arky triples off the right field wall to score there the Giants have been hitting a ton of triples lately it's three consecutive games with the triple and then they they don't get that guy on third in in any all three of these situations they have not been able to score the runner from third when a guy hits a triple with one out or less and uh that happened again this time but at least the Giants were able to get a runner on in front of yky as Solair scored on that uh on that Mike yky triple gave the Giants an early one to nothing lead uh the rest of that inning went Ramos ground out and Michael conforto strikeout and Michael korto is just I mean for for everything we just talked about with Blake Snell in our show like what like two hours ago with how much he's just ballooned his trade value and all these different scenarios that Giants have with him with Michael korto this guy's just freef falling his value is absolutely in the basement right now I think your best bet with him is the Mets a team that he's played for before and that he's been linked to and that knows what he can do he made an All-Star team with them I think the Mets are probably the only team that's going to really give you anything of worth for Michael conforto at this point if they can even get a prospect back for him that would be phenomenal he's essentially the same guy as Mike yky so I but but a worse Defender so I'd much rather keep y ship off can forto and keep rolling with what the Giants have other than him in the Outfield they have so many other options at this point they just have way too many guys in that Outfield and and can forto make sense to move he's a A plus bat not playing like like it LLY for the Giants but maybe a change of scenery back to New York could help him out the Mets have been linked to him in multiple trade discussions so we'll see how much longer this guy stays in a Giants uniform this is his last year with the Giants and I highly doubt he's resigning so I really that's that's the number one guy that they need to move at the deadline is Michael conforto and uh today he did not do the Giants any favors in uh in in creating any kind of trade value for himself so that was kind of a bummer but the Giants still had some hitting to do Matt Chapman a leadoff double in in the bottom of the second inning Brett wisley doubles to score him Giants lead two to nothing VR singles puts Runners at the corners and cassali then comes up and lays down a sack bunt nearly scored Brett wisley remember that Lamont Way junr slide from the other night where he did that nice swim move while he was sliding to the outside of the bag aont way junr or I mean Brett wisley almost recreated that tonight but just barely at the last second that Rocky's catcher laid down the tag on wisely just I mean got him by like the the excess flap on the Jersey that's just is just hanging out there wisley didn't even feel him touch him so wisley looked distraught when when they overturn that one he was so convinced he was safe and I understand why he didn't feel that tag laid down at all in WIS ley's you know world that that glove completely missed him so it was a very close play wisley was out by just a millimeter man like just just barely barely barely got there in time and the Giants could not do anything else that inning as Jorge salair promptly hit into a double play after that to end the threat in the top of the third Hayden Birdsong was already cruising by this point but he showed some prowess some veteran prowess in the top of the third Mike KR even pointed it out he was fawning over Birdsong today but Birdsong had Tovar on first base and he kind of held him there for a little bit longer than he normally does and uh he he waited till he got Tovar leaning and then threw over to first didn't just look and throw like you know and that that's a veteran move that's that's not a move you see very many 22-year-old starting pitchers who are making their like sixth career start making out there I mean Hayden bertson looked like a veteran like he has all season long since he's been brought up very heady play waited until Tovar was leaning and tried to extend that lead before throwing over and got him just I mean just got him dead to rights got him in a pickle and the giants made the play to get him out and Mike kruka was just obsessed over this play and I I get why and anytime that something you know scks up a little r Mike kruk's radar it should send a little flag to all Giants fans like that KR knows pitching better than almost anybody that I have heard break down pitching like Mike kugo and sha Estus might be the two best guys at breaking down what you're seeing from giant starting pictures and what he told me about Hayden bird song today during the game tells me everything I already thought about this kid that this guy is well Advanced Beyond his years plays like a seasoned veteran even though he's only 22 years old and on top of that he's got electric stuff on the mound knows how to win with his arm and with his brain and that's what he was doing out there today pairing both of them together to make it happen he pitched five shutout Innings as I said Birdsong only gave up three hits three walks so six total base runners and eight strikeouts he also didn't allow a run his erra is now sub three dude has a three and0 record with a 297 erra I mean Hayden Birdsong what more could you have expected from this kid and he's given you so much opportunity now because all these other Giants pitches have kind of fallen off and not lived up to expectations with the exception of Logan Webb he you know made the All-Star team he's doing what he always does Hayden bird song though this was unexpected and this guy has come back come back come come on the scene with just a a I mean just just ready to go like this guy is the most big league ready pitcher that I have seen come up for the Giants probably since Madison bumgardner this guy is that good I'm not saying he's going to be mad bum but he is I mean so ready for the spotlight so ready for the big time moments nothing phases this kid and I mean he just looks so I mean locked in every time he's out there I mean he's up there talking to himself all the time I saw I saw in the comments earlier Bob my guy Bob it's only a matter of time before uh before uh pitching before pitching ninja the the Twitter account or johnboy pitching ninja is owned by johnboy between those two guys some of them one of them's going to have to do like a lip reading breakdown on Hayden bird song because this guy's always up there talking to himself and I I mean you you know it's probably not the nicest things he's saying to himself but he's always getting himself Juiced ready to go a lot of uh a lot of four-letter words I can read from that guy's lips flying around so uh but he I mean fiery competitor dude is just wants to win every time that he's out there he wants to win every single pitch I mean you you see him walk off the mound after a scoreless inning but maybe he gave up a hit on a on a good pitch and he's angry was so upset that he got beat on on a on a ball on just one pitch and he doesn't seem to Ste on it he just us it as uses it as motivation continues to reach back there and grab that 97 M hour fastball and just blow it by dudes Hayden Birdsong was absolutely dominant tonight that I mean we've come to expect this from this kid at this point this is who he is and this is who he's going to be going forward I mean Birdsong has been so good just absolutely money since he got brought up and he's been doing it more with the curveball using that curveball more and more today threw it 31 times to 38 four seamers he almost split his usage of the four seam fastball and of the curveball and he was getting a ton of swing and misses we talked about Blake Snell setting a a record for for 30 swings and misses the most swings and misses of any pitcher this season in the prior game today hayah Birdsong didn't have quite that many but he had 20 swings misses a 39% whiff rate he was awesome today I mean absolutely dominant on the mound nobody could really touch him he didn't give up very much at all I mean he threw the one thing where he did kind of get caught is when he was throwing that slider the average exit velocity on that slider today he only threw it 15 times but the average exit vo 102.8 so maybe back off on using that slider a little bit if you're hating Birdsong but everything else all the metrics from the change up the change up had a 41% swing in rate or excuse me a 67% swing and Miss rate a 41% uh uh uh called strikes plus whiff rate so that was pretty solid for Hayden Birdsong today he's I mean he's just been doing this non-stop since he got called up to the bigs again three and0 and today scoreless five innings of work and eight strikeouts man just looked so good and he looked so calm and collected yeah he's firing and like yelling at himself but never at any point did you feel like he he was letting anything slip away or he was pressing too much he was just doing his thing out there man that's just who this guy is the Giants continued to Pat onto their lead they Hayden Birdsong and this Giants Bullpen which by the way the bullpen did a great job of Standing Tall and holding this down for Birdsong didn't give up any runs and only gave up one hit the rest of the way but the offense continued to score a little bit more runs so cassali lead off single in the bottom of the fifth cair then rips a double down the left field line he hit that ball so hard just didn't quite bear it the the right you know Barrel it up enough yes sack fly scores the runner from third base then after they got Runners at second and third after that Solair double that sack fly also sends Solair to Third Base gives the Giants a three to nothing lead and then Elliot Ramos with the infield in finally comes up with a hit with runners in scoring position today this dude had so many opportunities and finally came through but it wasn't his best hit of the Year pop shallow pop fly into right field but since the infield was playing in it man to fall and Solair scored Giants got a 4 nothing lead and then of course in San Francisco Giants fashion Michael conforto ground into double play to end the inning and to plummet his trade value even further into the basement uh the Giants Bullpen really did the work from there and it just kept kept striking guys out and kept doing their thing Shan jelly two strikeouts Taylor Rogers One strikeout Eric Miller two strikeouts so the bullpen combined for five more strikeouts giving the Giants 13 K Giants pitchers had 133 K in this second game of the double header after Blake Snell by himself had F 15 in the first one just an absolutely great day for Giants pitching and of course we got to mention Tyler Fitzgerald in the bottom of the a Fitzgerald another blank and home run this kid is on fire explain to me why Michael conforto was ahead of this guy in the Giants lineup today why was Michael korto batting fourth and Tyler Fitz dral batting fifth one of these guys just seems to pound the ball into the ground every time he's up and can't get a sack fly even when the Giants just need a productive out can't do it can only give you a strikeout if you're Michael conforto but Tyler Fitzgerald meanwhile now has what eight home runs in his last 10 games this dude is on another planet he has been so good I mean he's done some things that we haven't seen in baseball done since bade Ruth we'll get into that on the other side but I mean for for my money this guy is absolutely part of the Giants future going forward he is in the mix solidified himself he if he hasn't solid himself solidified himself as an everyday player going forward for the rest of the season I don't know what more this guy needs to do he's got nine home runs on the season eight of them in the last 10 games this guy has come on so hard since Nick ahed was DFA and I mean maybe that's all this guy needed was a big time vote of confidence and that's what he got from the management in in Bob uh Bob Melvin and Farhan when they traded away DFA Nick ahed and basically created an Avenue for Tyler Fitzgerald to be an everyday starter and this guy's rewarded them big time it's paid off for the Giants in very big ways he's also one of the only guys on this base that can steal or on this team that can steal a base he's so valuable to this team adds so much Dimension to your offense and that swing by the way I mean for as slight as a guy as Fitzgerald is he has such a thin frame That Swing is very repeatable very easy he's not it doesn't look like he's really torquing his body all that much he's just got a perfect bat path through that Zone and it looks so pretty right now watching this guy hit it has been so fun and also obviously Camilo doval pitched that first game so he wasn't going to be ready for the second one I did not think Spencer Biven was going to be the guy to come in and shut the door but he did they had a five run lead maybe it would have been different if it was a safe scenario nonetheless Spencer Biven comes in shuts the door no problem for the Giants in the five nothing victory over the Rockies and the Giants now are in position to sweep this series against the Rockies after starting two and five out of the All-Star break they come back and have a chance to reel off four in a row I just man this team makes me want to bash my head through a window half the time I cannot I can't handle this man like you had six hits in your first game and you barely came away with one hit just you had you had that one Pat Bailey hit that broke it open you thank God got enough runs to escape that first game with a win and then you come out today in the second half and you score five runs on 11 hits and you hit 300 with runners in scoring position 3 33 actually what the heck man this is really frustrating I just want this Giants team to be consistent but we know that they're not they're the F Furthest Thing from that and the record reflects that they're 52 and 55 after the win today they could be up to 53 and 55 if they win tomorrow and sweep this series Giants are I mean barreling towards the All-Star break or excuse me barreling towards the trade deadline and I I don't know what to make of this team man I really don't are they are they a playoff Contender they could be are they big time sellers at the trade deadline they could also be that too this team is so incredibly frustrating man but one thing is for sure Hayden Birdsong Tyler Fitzgerald are huge pieces of this team's future success Brett wisley also had a ni nice game today with the that that double and the uh the almost scored on that nice slide that slide don't take anything away from that slide that he had with that swim move just because that tag got laid down at the last second that was a beautiful play by wisley to even make it remotely close at the dish the way he did uh but this Giants team man I think you got to just bet on the youth at this point and uh maybe because bird bird song has proven himself to be such a hot commodity at the big league level you can maybe afford to move on from a guy like Carson wizen hunt at the trade deadline we're uh on the other side we got to take a quick break here we'll break down more of Hayden birdsong's day more of Tyler Fitzgerald's day as well and maybe later on in the show

FanDuel official sports betting partner of Major League Baseball welcome back to the lockdown Giants postcast I'm your host Eric Triple E Engle today the Giants sweep the Rockies in this double header in this scheduled double header take both games and hold the Rockies to just one I mean the pitching today was Unreal for the Giants and we got to shine we shined a little bit of light on uh on everyone else on on Snell on bird song we didn't bring up the bullpen yet but today in this second game of this double header they only gave up one hit Spencer Biven gave it up there in the ninth that one one single but other than that no runs no walks and and five strikeouts for this Bullpen over four Innings of work that's really really really solid and that's what this Bullpen can do especially when you have starting pitchers that continuously turn in good outings and that's what's been been happening at least these last three day or two days when the Giants have been on this uh little little three- game win streak now that they have going for them it Blake Snell dominant the bullpen picks up right where he left off Hayden Birdsong dominant Bullpen picks up right where he left off and both result in Giants wins big part of that though what at least today was Tyler Fitzgerald man I mean another home run for this guy he has now hit eight in his last 10 games and this guy as I said earlier is doing stuff that we haven't seen since Babe Ruth man since that long ago Tyler Fitzgerald I mean yesterday he went three for five recorded his first multi-home run game I mean this prior to coming in prior to today's games prior to both of today's uh double header matchups with the Giants and Rockies Fitzgerald had an Ops over 1,400 over 1,400 man that's absolutely incredible and he uh he he had a five game home run streak a multi-home run game over five walks in that time frame and scored a run in every single one of those games it's a lot of stats but the only player to ever achieve doing all of those things in that same amount of time was Babe Ruth in 1921 from June 9th to June 16th that's according to opta Stats and this guy is just out of his mind right now out of his mind since the 9th since July 9th when he played against Toronto and then he had a big gap where he didn't play again until the 20th the All-Star break was mixed in there he is batting 429 15 hits eight home runs eight home runs 15 hits 13 RB 13 runs scored 10 games this guy's averaging a hit and a half per game almost averaging a home run per game in this same stretch Tyler Fitzgerald needs to be in the lineup every single day going forward I don't care where you play this guy play him at Short play him in the Outfield play him at second play him at first I don't care put this guy in the lineup every single day he can steal you bases even when he eventually cools off because nobody can do this forever he's a productive at bat every single time he grinds out walks he's a guy who knows how to lay down a bunt he's a guy who doesn't strike out that much this guy is so solid for the Giants I very excited about this guy and what he adds to this Giants team for the future the fact that he's so versatile defensively you can find a spot for him anywhere on this team Tyler Fitzgerald is here to stay I I mean he is he is here to stay I I also don't ever want to see Michael conforto batting ahead of this guy and the Giants lineup ever again that's got to be one of the worst decisions I've seen Bob Melvin make this entire year although it didn't really uh didn't didn't really hurt the Giants today at all the Giants still obviously won 5 Zer but this guy needs as many at bats as he can possibly get there you can't tell me that Michael conforto deserves deserves more at bats than Tyler Fitzgerald right now Tyler Fitzgerald is hitting over a 100 points better in batting average than Michael conforto Michael conforto is Ops 697 Tyler fitzgeralds 1,48 I think I know which guy I want bat and cleanup I mean come on man so Tyler Fitzgerald deserves all of the flowers right now this guy deserves to be an everyday player going forward and I don't expect him I mean I expect him to cool off I don't expect him to just fall off the face of the planet though this guy's swing is really nice his bat path is beautiful that swing is very repeatable and easy on his body he's not up there like just you know torquing his body in crazy ways it's really frustrating it's really frustrating I still don't know if this team will be do able to do enough to buy at the break if they do you got to go buy a bat and you got to make sure they're under team control we just talked about this in our last show about two hours ago but you need to go do that and secure that at the deadline Hayden Birdsong gives you a little bit more flexibility maybe because you know bird song is going to be a solid starter at the big league level now and you know you got Harrison you got web you got all these other pitchers on the giant staff going into next season you of course have some of the other young arms like Carson wizen hunt Mason black can you afford to move one of these guys and I think the answer is yes and I think the guy that you should move is Carson wizen hunt he's still ranked higher than a lot of these other Giants players I think he's still the the number one Prospect pitching Prospect in the system other than Kyle Harrison so this guy is obviously going to be held in very high regard amongst other uh other teams that need a a starter going forward and and maybe that allows you to maybe go chop around and maybe go get a guy like Vlad Guerrero JR out of the blue jay system it certainly gives you more possibility and more flexibility when this guy is pitching well than if he hadn't been and this kind of bailes the Giants out of that that Keaton win hole that he put them in I mean Hayden bird song's coming on like we kind of hoped Keaton win would and a lot of us I I frankly expected Keaton wi to put in a pretty good season this year and he's been so incredibly disappointing that would have given the Giants the ultimate flexibility at the trade deadline to move a guy like Blake Snell maybe you still can there there's a lot of options that Giants have I mean you can move prospects or you can move veterans you have plenty of veterans on this roster that you can sell or if you're trying to buy you can move some prospects the Giants really can go either Direction one thing is for certain they can't do nothing if you do nothing this team will continue to sputter around 500 probably finish a game or two below 500 probably about 80 wins on the season and miss the playoffs by a game or two and that's absolutely the worst case scenario that's not what anyone wants in the Giants fan base do something just do something let's take a quick break here on the other side we'll get into some of those potential uh I got I got another hypothetical for you guys I threw out the Vlad Guero Jr I got one more hypothetical I want to throw out there from a couple other team teams that could be buying in the American League East stick with us on the lock on

some trade scenarios at you guys I know the Giants won this one 5- Z Over the Rockies they're now in position for a sweep on this in the series but the the main story the main takeaway from this game the Giants the the guys that they want to sell that the the Blake snells if they do end up selling Blake Snell has got to be at the top of of the list of players to sell maybe if you're buying on the other side of the coin prospects are who you're going to look to trade to get proven Commodities at the big league level the takea away from today is that the Giants got better in both of these categories Hayden Birdsong gives you the ability him solidifying that he is going to be a proven success at the big league level solidifies that you could trade some of these other prospects a Mason black a a Carson wizen hunt Blake snow doing what he did today also shows you can just trade that guy and get a just a hall back the biggest Hall of all of the trade deadline very likely if you choose to move on from Blake Snell I mean there's a lot of different directions the Giants can go right now and we just hypothesize the Vlad Guerrero deal that's a name that's been thrown out a lot obviously the Blue Jays are very underperforming for big hitting first baseman is something the Giants have needed for a very very long time but there's some other options that the Giants could have I was actually uh I was actually ping ponging some ideas around with uh with kbr's Walter EAB baletta the producer for the afternoon show and sometimes he ends up doing some uh Giants pre and post I don't really know what that guy does over there he's he's like their idea machine I don't know anyone else over there coming up with trade ideas like Walt so he and I I love Walt we worked together for many years and and we were ping-ponging some trade ideas back and forth and we ended up settling on a on one that thought kind of interesting and I was thinking maybe Blake Snell for Dominguez from the Yankees I know that he's coming off of a major surgery a major injury this kid the Martian is his nickname they don't you don't get a nickname like the Martian just by being an average everyday player this kid has the potential to be really really good and the Yankees have a plethora of middle infielders that are playing really well right now and that could he's a very young guy very very young guy that could be inserted Into the Heart of this order I mean he's he's a very strong hitter very good Defender he could be a five tool player for the Giants Jason Dominguez going forward another another team that needs some pitching help in that same division the Baltimore Orioles and maybe a guy like Kobe Mayo could be on the Giants radar if they want to start to add one of those I mean the Orioles are just so flush with plenty of of of you know early first round picks that they just don't have room for all of them and they need a starting pitcher another starting pitcher to to pair with Corbin Burns Ace 1B if you will and I mean they have so many guys CTS Chad or however the heck you say that guy's name he's got like a k a s a j and all in his last name like all in a row so it's really hard to uh to say if you're not like from a Soviet block country so I obviously am mispronouncing his name but I mean this this whole trade deadline should be chock full of opportunities for the Giants to get better and this series is kind of shaping up in a way that sets the Giants up to have a nice trade deadline and that would be a huge win for this team especially considering the state of the franchise right now but I mean could you could you go get a Kobe Mayo could you go get a Dominguez from the Yankees maybe I mean I doubt they would trade vulp with those season that he's having that's another Young Middle in Fielder that they have Labor Torres has been on a tear lately for the Yankees so they have flexibility in those middle in field positions and the Giants need to go get either a a solid bat at Short Stop or a solid bat at first a space those are the two biggest holes that they have on this team for sure Tyler Fitzgerald is a nice betat I don't know if he's a short stop for for the future he he's a fine everyday utility guy filling in at Short splitting time at short I don't know that you want there want him there every single day he's gotten a lot better he's not booting you know normal average you know routine ground balls anymore and he's making nice sliding plays that nice sliding play that he made behind second base a couple days ago with the glove flip to second base to get the runner that was amazing so Fitz Gerald has gotten a lot better at second base but I mean they have plenty of different options that they could go with at the trade deadline and I just I need them to do something don't do nothing do something please for the love of God knowing Farhan and what he's done uh it'll probably be a mixed bag it'll be probably a little of both and it probably won't be an a commitment a full commitment to one or the other and that is unbelievably frustrating I I want this team to take a stand get better for the future or make a playoff run stop with this middle of the road BS and do something please s or get off the pot you know what I mean come on Farhan get us go go into the trade deadline and get us something useful for the future whether that's a big bat you can slide into the middle of this order right now that's under team control for the future or whether that's prospects for a guy like Blake Snell or or even a Chapman or a Solair if you're if you're looking at selling so let's see what the Giants do you got about three more days until this trade deadline hits so uh not much time left the Giants also in that time have a chance to finish a sweep a four game sweep of the Colorado Rockies and that would be nice man especially after they played so terribly in in Coors Field coming out of the All-Star break it'd be nice to get a little bit of a revenge against those Rockies and uh polish those rocks off you know what I mean so uh the Giants get a five to nothing win over the Rockies today Hayden Birdsong five innings eight strikeouts zero runs and the bullpen held it down as well Tyler Fitzgerald goes yard eight homers in his last 10 games all sounds great in Giants land right now if only they could do this for more than three to five games at a time that's an that that's that's been the the Hallmark of this team this year has been inconsistency just when they just when just when you don't want to believe anymore you do something to to reel you back in and then as soon as you start believing they do something to make you just say this team sucks so we're we're right back on that track and so if if I if I know
