Gabe Kapler said the Giants’ lineup ‘just looks especially deep’ with the returns of Thairo Estrada, Joc Pederson and Michael Conforto.
DENVER — On a whiteboard in his office, Giants manager Gabe Kapler maps out his team’s lineups for the coming week. It’s typically pretty routine, but for a few days, he couldn’t take his eyes off the order unveiled Tuesday night for their series opener against the Colorado Rockies.It was a day to look forward to as soon as it became clear that Thairo Estrada and Joc Pederson would be ready to be activated from the injured list.
More importantly, the Giants’ lineup returns to full strength just as their pitching staff faces its own issues. With Sean Manaea working out of a bulk role in the bullpen and Alex Wood recently joining Ross Stripling on the injured list, Kapler acknowledged after Sunday’s game that they were “piecing it together.”
“We’d like it to work out just like that,” Kapler said. “Also a major factor when you come to Coors Field is converting ground balls into outs, catching balls that go up and hang up there for some time. You know you’re going to give up some hits at Coors, balls are going to get into the gap, they’re going to get through the infield fast, but the ones that we are supposed to catch, those are the ones that win games for you.
