Game 34, Mariners at Mets: Another Day, Another Giants Trade

It’s been raining all day in Queens, but it sounds like they’re going to try to get this game in. George Kirby returns home to New York to take on the Mets and their big off-season pitching acquisition, Max Scher…wait, no, it’s Chris Bassitt. The former A’s (and White Sox) starter is off to a great start, and is *nearly* matching Scherzer game for game. Bassitt mixes a full five pitches to keep hitters off balance, and has slowly but surely improved his bat-missing ability as well. He’s not just a command/control guy, but he has those skills up his sleeve.
