Indeed, after 1,631 career games at shortstop, this is Crawford first at any other position (besides pitcher 😅)

The Cardinals are also wearing the Willie Mays patch today. “I hope we wear it everyday,” shortstop Masyn Winn said.

Brandon Crawford is in the Cardinals lineup — at third base. LaMonte Wade Jr. will not be active. Tyler Fitzgerald was called up to be the Giants’ 27th man.

Final preparations under way at Rickwood. This place looks really good. “I think it’s been updated since Willie played here,” Sean Hjelle deadpanned.

If you read anything on Willie Mays, read John Shea.

Willie Mays was my friend. Maybe you didn’t know it, but the Giants great was your friend, too.

Blake Snell threw 20 pitches in a bullpen session today and it went well. He’ll probably throw one more before they consider a rehab outing.

That’s good to hear. We definitely didn’t see the ball hit Semien on the live feed here. Hopefully they’ve wrinkled out the issues. It seems to mostly be the Bally crew, which televises just about every other Rangers game.

Man, Roku is *not* making a good first impression. They missed the first pitch of the bottom of the first, which hit Marcus Semien in the head, and their cameras poorly framed multiple shots, missing action, already. Really, really rough.

Keaton Winn three 62 pitches and struck out six over 3.2 IP in an ACL game yesterday. He hasn’t discussed next steps with Bob Melvin but expects to slot in the next time through the rotation, which would line him up for the final game in Texas on Sunday.

Bob Melvin called out the Giants after their sixth straight loss. He used the words "bad," "terrible" and "awful" and said, "We just looked like we running around in quicksand for a while."

The Giants didn’t have the results of Blake Snell’s MRI when we talked to Bob Melvin before the game. We should know more after. In other health updates, Jung Hoo Lee had successful surgery today in LA and Landen Roupp has been shut down at Triple-A with elbow inflammation.
