First off, my apologies to Chase d’Arnaud for taking so long to get around to this. Nothing intentional, just had other items pop up in the queue. Sure, there wasn’t nearly as much novelty and surprise with this appearance because of what Pablo Sandoval did, but Bruce Bochy doesn’t do this very often. Even though it’s the new trend in Major Leauge Baseball, the San Francisco Giants don’t follow trends. Whatever’s going on in 2018, they want to do the exact opposite.
But I digress!
Chase d’Arnaud pitched the bottom of the eighth inning of last Sunday’s sweep at the hands of the lowly Cincinnati Reds and saved the Giants’ bullpen from another humiliating inning.
