Now is the time to root for individual achievement. The Giants are all but out of the playoff hunt, but they’re still on the hook for 31 baseball games, which means fun baseball things will still happen!
Could certain players make a final month’s push to inflate some numbers and pad some stats? Could Jung Hoo Lee reach 40 doubles, or at least nab that next two-bagger to become the second player in the Majors this year to gain membership in the 30+ 2B – 10+ 3B club (Jarren Duran), and become the first Giant since the inimitable Ángel Pagán to reach both of those extra-base marks? Will Willy Adames keep slugging moonshot longballs to break 30 (he’s at 22 now)? Can Logan Webb finally crack 200 strikeouts in a season…and pair that dominance with the durability of 200 innings pitched?
Webb no
