Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:39:42 GMT

CHICAGO — The Giants, despite their propensity to swing and miss early this season, won’t be mistaken for a team without plate discipline. Facing White Sox strikeout artist Dylan Cease on Wednesday, they watched five ball fours go by and chased him by the fifth inning.But even the most patient team needs a timely hit every now and then.Despite a constant parade of base runners, the only damage the Giants were able to muster until the ninth inning in a 7-3 loss Wednesday came on a second-inning solo shot from J.D. Davis, an offensive output that stood in stark contrast to Chicago’s four runs on nine hits in five innings off Logan Webb to hand him his second loss in as many starts.Through the first five games of the season, the Giants have mastered the three true outcomes.More than 40% of their plate appearances have ended in strike three or ball four, and 14 of their 22 runs have been generated by the long ball. Their all-or-nothing approach has resulted in maddening extr...
