Logan Webb has been phenomenal.
You cited this, John, where he had a 1.96 ERA following a Giants loss this season.
That's 12 starts.
He's been dynamic, and today, another solid start, a quality start.
Eight innings, gives up just the four hits, only one walk, and he got a lot of ground balls today, 12 ground ball outs from Logan Webb.
He was dynamic against Detroit.
Yeah, six straight start, he's at least pitched six innings.
We're kind of used to that, him going deeper into games, and you knew he was gonna be good again today, trying to pitch his team to a series win.
He was phenomenal.
I, the pitch to me that really he's leaned on, I feel like since June, has been that slider.
You know, he, he upped his percentage today.
He had 19% coming into the game.
Today, he threw a slider at 30%, so you knew he had that working for him.
He got six, five outs with the slider.
Other than, in non-fastball, nine, non-fastball pitches today, the Tigers hitters were one for 18.
Wow.
That's against the changeup, the cutter, and the slider.
So he had all the off-speed working for him today, and the fastball was pretty good as well.
Yeah.
He gave up three singles.
He gave up two singles and a double with the fastball, but just did a nice job, once again, of changing speeds, keeping the ball down, like you mentioned, keeping the ball on the ground with 12 ground ball outs.
It was vintage Logan Webb.
I mean, that's what we've g- grown accustomed to over the years.
When he's on, that's exactly how he gets guys out.
And he, he did it against a really good offense in, in the Tigers.
