That's right- Who's that?
Bryce Eldridge.
Oh, hot.
That's right.
He scalded this double.
I didn't, I didn't even, I didn't even mention Bryce Eldridge.
One for four.
I know he struck out- Yeah in the ninth inning there, but he scalded this pitch right here.
He's seeing the ball a lot better.
Batting seventh.
Look, I touched on it in the pregame show, Sean, and we talked about it during the game.
Why not elevate him up in the lineup, right?
Let him bat fifth, sixth.
But I think you made a great point.
Let him bat seventh, not think about anything else.
No pressure batting seventh.
Yeah.
Just find your swing at the Major League level and we're starting to see a better at-bats.
And how about that play right there?
Oh, big.
The 3-6 double play.
I mean, the defense right then, that's a tough play.
That wasn't like a short hop.
That was like a in between hot rocket ball, and he made the nice play and made the mice- nice decision to tag first, and then a nice strong throw to second base to get the double play.
Helped out his pitcher right there.
I wasn't lying, folks.
He is hot.
Last 11, batting 342.
He's got the jack yesterday at Coors Field.
Three RBIs.
He's seeing the ball a lot better.
Drawing some walks.
Seven doubles.
And we know about the doubles he had at Oracle Park, that could have been home runs in many other ballparks there.
So the kid that everybody's been waiting for, the hot prospect in this Giants system, we're starting to see why he was so hyped up here, Sean.
Absolutely.
I mean, he's been confident.
You know, he, he comes across a good presence, right?
A lot of confidence in the box.
you just knew it was a matter of time, right?
Till he started seeing big league pitching.
He's tough against lefties.
Yeah.
Keeps that front side in really well.
He's had some really nice at-bat against lefties as well, and then he can drive the ball to all parts of the ballpark.
So, yeah, he's gonna be a fun watch for a long time.
