Summary: On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that the Giants' starting pitchers have carried the team to its 9-6 start. Alex Wood made his Giants debut on Sunday, and he kept the line moving with five shutout innings. Kevin Gausman, Johnny Cueto, Anthony DeSclafani, and Aaron Sanchez have also pitched well in all of their starts. The second thing we learned is that the Giants made several roster moves over the weekend. Jake McGee, who blew his first save of the year on Saturday, was placed on the Covid-IL, along with Logan Webb, due to side effects from the vaccine. Chadwick Tromp was also called up because Posey is dealing with elbow discomfort after a HBP. Camilo Doval was also added to the roster, and he had a dominant first appearance on Sunday. Finally, we learned that the Giants offense is officially off to a slow start. Mike Yastrzemski continues to scuffle, and the Giants were fortunate to escape with a win on Sunday despite scoring only one run. Several key underlying metrics suggest that the Giants should be on the verge of breaking out at the plate, but that just hasn't yet materialized. Circling back to the first thing we learned, the starting pitchers have carried the load for a struggling offense and sometimes shaky bullpen.
