The Spring is three games in, and to draw any conclusions would be foolhardy. But I still have some observations from what I have seen thus far. For the first three games, the pitching has been outstanding. Albeit, without Matt Chapman and Matt Olson, Oakland’s offense is just north of woeful, as is Colorado without Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon. The Giants did not play but a couple of regulars.
One of the reasons I really like Spring Training is that it give the players hope. After Mike Kickham’s two innings, allowing 1 hit and 1 walk, he has hope that he will get another chance.
