Taijuan Walker is a crafty pitcher with a wicked splitter (when it stays up enough). Giants batters are not swinging at strikes in the middle of the strike zone. I think they're having trouble picking up the splitter, and mistake other pitches for it. Esp. his 4-seam.

Bottom of the 5th now, still 6-3.

The Giants are an interesting mix of batters off to a good start, and batters who are definitely not. In his last AB, LaMonte Wade, Jr. struck out swinging at a tempting pitch just outside of the strike zone. Down to .111 now.

Sure, it might be mechanics. It also might be someone in need of an optometrist.

No score in the top of the 3rd. 2 outs, nobody on, in the bottom of the inning. Still 6-3 Giants.

Edit: Added ", Jr."

The definition of spoiled. I'm so used to seeing catcher JT Realmuto gun down base stealers with regularity. But He's not playing tonight. The Phillies backup catcher just threw a ball in the center field trying to nail a base stealer. I can't even remember the last time I saw a Phillies catcher throw the ball into the outfield like that. Cause I'm spoiled. Thx JT. You da man.
