The Giants have split each of their last nine double headers. They have not been swept, nor have they swept a double header since July 4, 2000, when they took both games from the Rockies.
Remember how high we all were on Fred Lewis? Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer Lewis to other outfield options, but dude is hitting an Andruw Jones-like .188 this month.
For some reason, many of my fellow Giants-bloggers out there are down on Keiichi Yabu… I’m not sure why. He’s not a power arm, but Yabu hasn’t allowed an earned run in May, and is making $390,000 this season. In my opinion, Yabu’ signing is an example of a good, under-the-radar Brian Sabean move. I’m not defending the guy, and I’d love to see him gone, but in the spirit of fairness… Sabean took a shot on a guy who had been out of the league for a couple years, and it appears to be working.
Ray Durham apparently has a little more left in the tank than most of us thought. He’s hitting .366 this month (but is just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position).
