Kurtenbach: 3 up, 3 down from SF Giants’ first 25 (fine, 26) games

Yes, there are positives to highlight from the Giants’ 12-14 start.

San Francisco Giants’ starting pitcher Logan Webb pitches against the New York Mets during the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. That’s because their record is within easy striking distance of .500. They’re right where they need to be after 26 games.But as of now, even with so many hitters struggling , San Francisco is in the thick of things in the National League.

I’d argue the bullpen is in pretty good shape — they’re not answering any big questions. The top four pitchers out of the pen — Ryan Walker, the Rogers twins, and Camilo Doval, all have solid ERAs and solid roles.But things have been poor when they’re behind, and you need younger arms to hold the line.

The Giants could ask for more with their starting rotation — namely for Blake Snell to look like a Cy Young winner, or, as of Wednesday, just be on the mound — but given all the question marks for this team heading into the season and considering the set-back Alex Cobb had in his rehab , things are going quite well with the rotation and should only get better in the weeks and months to come.
