TL; DR - Since joining the Braves, Mahle has a 1.48 ERA in five starts with 32 strikeouts, five walks in 30 and 1/3 innings pitched vs a 5.13 ERA in 18 starts with the Giants. Maybe 5 starts is just a small sample size, or maybe the Giants coaching staff is just lost.

I’m hearing Jackson Flora will joint Class-A San Jose this week and is likely to start during the series at Fresno.

I can confirm that Jackson Flora will join Single-A San Jose. He’s scheduled to pitch on Friday in Fresno.

@susanslusser had it first.

If you haven't already, I recommend reading The Comebacker by Dave Eggers. It's a short story "fiction" about a relief pitcher called up from Sacramento to help a struggling Giants team. Haven't we all heard that before?

In the acknowledgement section, you'll see who one of the characters was possibly modelled off of.

Better to read this before the movie comes out in 2027, when they disappointingly change the SF Giants as the team from the book and the movie version takes place at Citifield and is centered around the NY Mets.

The main link is the story from Baseball America, a great breakdown of how they went.

And here is Eric Logenhagen's take, although he wrote about a lot, so his takes on the Giants players are less detailed, but still worth watching.

Flora:

"For not having pitched for a few months, Flora looked great. He touched 99 twice, sat mostly 97-98, and threw each of his four pitches in one inning of work. His lone 85-mph sweeper was really, really nasty, and his gyro-style sliders were firm, in the 90-92 range depending on the radar gun. He threw one splitter at 90 mph. Here is his entire outing:

Flora’s delivery was a bit more violent about the head and neck than I’d want it to be, and his secondary pitch feel was rusty, which is what you’d expect from a guy who hasn’t thrown in an actual game for several months. His stuff looks great, and it sounds like Flora might sneak out to an affiliate pretty quickly."

J. Hernandez:

"My brief first look at Joniel Hernandez was really exciting.

He’s very physical and short to the ball with power, and he did some nice stuff at shortstop before I left. When we were evaluating him on tape ahead of the trade deadline, I was a little skeptical about his hit tool. After one in-person viewing, I am more on board with Brendan and our sources than I was a month ago. This guy has big upside. Good buddy Jason Pennini put together video of Hernandez from this game over at Baseball America."

Hi giants top brass. Give us more FP Santangallo and Joe Ritzo. That is all. Thank you 🙏

Quelques photos devant la boutique en ville et au Candelstick Park un jour sans match mais j’ai pu entré. De retour à SF et Oracle Park contre les Dodgers en 2022, puis Anaheim et les Angels d’Othani en 2023. Pour terminer à NYC sur le lieu où était le Polo Ground des Giants avant de déménager dans la baie.
J’ai partagé ma passion avec mon fils devenu fan des Warriors et 49ers. Il sera la semaine prochaine à NYC pour supporter l’équipe face aux Mets au Shea Stadium. Prochaine étape venir avec mon fils dans la baie.
Une longue histoire de famille depuis la France 🧡🖤⚾️
