All right, Willie Adames, there he goes.
Let's get to our Toyota Play of the Game, or should I say plays, as we're gonna show you both the home runs the Giants hit here, starting out with Rafael Devers, who got the party started early.
Two outs, one on.
Devers smashed it out the yard, 401 feet out to center field.
His 24th of the year, because he has really caught fire throughout the summer, Sean.
Yeah, 64th RBI.
Got a hanging breaking ball, didn't miss it.
Hit it to a big part of the ballpark, and that's what, what Rafi can do when he's seeing the ball well.
Mm-hmm.
And then Willie right there, as we just talked to him, his 19th of the year, 48 RBI, one away from 200.
He hit that one 107 miles an hour.
Mm-hmm.
He hit that one actually harder than Rafael Devers hit his.
Really?
Devers' was only 100.
Go figure.
And he hit it- Well, Willie's went so high that I assumed.
It was too high, right.
So then, so then if you wanna get to the numbers, it's all about the launch angle, right?
Yeah, Willie hit his high in the air at 367.
Rafi's was, was more of a, I wouldn't say a line drive, but he hit his 401.
Mm-hmm.
So, you can hit home runs in a lot of different ways.
As long as they get over the fence, that's all that matters.
Yeah, exactly.
But those were two big home runs right there.
Three, they accounted for three runs today.
That's right.
And that was all the Giants- And that was all they needed would end up needing.
Thank you.
Yes.
We've worked together too long.
We're finishing each other's sentences.
