Yeah, everyone playing very loose, and it wasn't just Matt Chapman.
This is our Daily Jackpot, brought to you by River Rock Casino, where we're going to show you a couple of the other home runs in this game.
But there were seven, so we don't even have time really to break down all of the hits that we have witnessed in this game.
But first inning here, it's Willy Adames who blasts it out to left for a two-run shot.
427 feet, out onto Waveland.
He's another guy, Sean, who the timing is on.
Everything's working now for Willy.
As he would hit a second, I think we're gonna show you Casey Schmitz as well here.
but Willy, for whatever reason, has gotten really hot during this recent stretch.
Well, he hit the big one, in my opinion, 'cause it was the first one of the game and it w- it put the Giants up 2-0.
Mm-hmm.
And there was two outs in that inning.
Luis Urias gets a double to set the table, and then Willy comes up and hits an absolute missile to left field.
So that's Willy's, fourth, or 12th multi-home run game of his career, and they just And then there, once again.
And you mentioned Casey Schmitz continued to stay hot.
Two more home runs for him today, two more hits on a four-hit day for Casey Schmitz.
Crazy.
Three RBIs, just continues to get it done hitting in that leadoff spot.
Yeah, Schmidt last year with 12 home runs.
Every one that he hits this year is now a new career high.
So Willy Adames, but listen, our folks behind the scenes have been typing away to try to furiously cut the rest of the highlights from late in this game because, again, the Giants offense just kept pouring it on.
And here it was Jonah Cox with his first big league home run off a position player, Sean.
It's awesome, but also comical because his first ever big league hit came a couple days ago against a position player.
I don't know what to make of that.
I don't know how he's gonna feel about that.
I mean, it still counts the same in the stat line, but, in the box score.
But, like, when he has to go and tell his grandkids one day and they're gonna go, "Hey, who'd you get your first big league hit off of?"
"Well, backup catcher Brett Sullivan for the Colorado Rockies."
Right.
"Hey, hey, Grandpa, who'd you get your first home run against?"
"Well, backup catcher, Kelly off of, in, in Chicago."
but it, it, it's just weird.
I mean, the timing is obviously, kinda odd there.
But I, I He'll take it.
I'm sure he'll take it.
Ab- He's just happy to be in the big leagues and contributing, and he comes off the bench today to face the lefty Milner in the sixth inning and goes three for three with a home run.
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean, every It didn't matter.
Barracora- No comes off the bench.
He I think Barracora even got a hit at some point.
he did not get a hit.
No, he went 0 for 2.
But, uh- Dude, it was really hard to keep up, and I'm being serious.
Yeah.
I mean, 'cause guys start subbing in late in the game.
19 hits total.
It was just a total onslaught for this Giants offense.
really, really crazy stuff here.
Adames and Schmidt were really good in this game, but also Matt Chapman.
We're gonna look at some of the numbers here for Adames and Chapman heating up in the last 10 specifically.
Again, this road trip has been pretty kind to the Giants.
Disappointing first two games against the Rockies, but then the offense broke out on Sunday of this week with that big game, and now we've seen three of them.
And these two guys have been a big reason why, Sean.
How huge is it for the ball club to have two of these leaders who got off to slow starts, starting to come around?
I mean, it's huge.
It's, it's the re- I mean, they have been the focal point, you know, of every criticism that has been given- Yep with the, and with the addition of Devers, you know, since the season started, especially in April when things were going so poorly for the offense, and then even into May a little bit.
And all you kept talking about and hearing about was Adames, Devers, and Chapman gotta get it done.
Yep.
They're the leaders on this team.
They're the veterans.
It starts with them.
When are they gonna start heating up?
because when they go, this team will go.
Mm-hmm.
And they've all s- started heating up at the exact same time.
I mean, it took Chappy a little bit longer than the other two.
But Devers, you know, Devers, it started with Devers- Yep and then Adames, and now Chapman's getting it going.
So now you, you have your two-hole hitter, you have your four-hole hitter, and you have your seven-hole hitter that are, are three of your hottest hitters on your team to go with, oh yeah, your leadoff hitter, your three-hole hitter- Yeah.
Right, right, right and Joey who hit your six hitter.
So I mean, you, you, you name it, you go up and down this lineup, there's someone swinging the bat well.
Mm-hmm.
And, and that's how you score a bunch of runs.
And people are like, "How are they scoring this many runs?"
Well- Mm-hmm everybody got hot at the same time.
So that, that's how you do it
