The San Francisco Giants faced the Pittsburgh Pirates just about a month ago, and at the time I wrote many words about Joey Bart now being a Pirate and all the other players on that roster who were at one time Giants. Has much changed since then?
The Giants took two out of three to drop the Pirates to put both team’s records at 14-15. Since the series, the Giants have gone 9-10 and the Pirates 8-11. The Pirates have a team ERA of 4.22, the Giants 4.55. The Pirates have debuted the top pitching prospect on the planet, Paul Skenes, while the Giants have unfurled a trio of prospects — Luis Matos, Heliot Ramos, and Marco Luciano — who sparked them to an exciting sweep over the weekend.
