Methods to watch San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies
John Brebbia vs. Dinelson Lamet.
After winning four straight series, the San Francisco Giants missed the last two at home. Now it’s time for them to take on a division rival, the Colorado Rockies. The bad news is the Giants are back on the road, and that’s at Coors Field. The good news is that the Rockies aren’t a great baseball team, and they rank last in the National League in terms of running difference…by a wide margin.
And the other good news: Reinforcements have arrived! The Giants activated both Thairo Estrada and Joc Pederson ahead of the game, which is big news (the relevant moves: Brett Wisely and Bryce Johnson were optioned). In addition, Michael Conforto is back in the squad. That’s three of the team’s best offensive players returning in a day at a batsman’s stadium. you love to see it
With Alex Wood recently placed in the IL, the Giants have an opener ahead of them and it’s right-back John Brebbia again. This year Brebbia is 2-0 with a 3.80 ERA, 2.48 FIP and 33 strikeouts on seven walks in 23.2 innings. He’s had four openers this year and has given up a run in four innings. His last time as an opener was his only hiccup when he gave up a run in 0.2 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Left-hander Sean Manaea seems likely to throw some of the innings, and he’s been outstanding of late: In his last three appearances, Manaea has thrown nine innings and conceded just seven hits, three walks and one unearned run, with 14 strikeouts .
In the Rockies, it’s right-hander Dinelson Lamet that the Giants are most familiar with: He made his debut with the San Diego Padres in 2017 and has spent his entire career in that division. Lamet, who used to be exclusively in the starting XI, has been mostly a substitute this year and he’s been pretty bad. In 13 appearances he is 1-2 with a 13.17 ERA, 5.33 FIP and 17 strikeouts on 12 walks in 13.2 innings. The Rockies put him back in the starting role on his last appearance, and things went horribly when he gave up five runs in three innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’s allowing nearly 2.5 baserunners an inning, so the Giants should have plenty of opportunities.
