The Giants remain miffed that Wendlestedt said \u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d to Anderson and that the crew also mocked manager Tony Vitello and Anderson for their college background, with jabs about \u201crah-rah\u201d and pompoms. The team is likely to bring up this behavior from the crew to the league when reports are filed about the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Giants are certain Ramos\u2019 ball, which initially was listed on the Statcast measurements on the Tropicana Field as 424 feet\u00a0\u2014 a homer, was out, and some players had even heard from Rays players that they\u2019d seen the ball hit the catwalk and plunge down, which was evident from Cedric Mullins\u2019 sudden dash in after heading to the wall.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could tell from their players\u2019 reactions, none of them reacted at all when we were stopping and saying, \u2018Homer!\u2019,\u201d Houser said. \u201cA Gold Glove center fielder doesn\u2019t race up to the wall like he\u2019s going to try to rob a home run and then run 20 feet in, and we all saw the scoreboard flash 424. It was easy to tell that ball was totally smoked, then all of a sudden goes straight down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anderson declined comment, but his son, former A\u2019s starter Brett Anderson, chimed in with a light-hearted tweet: \u201cTook me 12 years to get ejected from a MLB game\u2026only took my dad 33 games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Numerous Giants said Anderson had told Carapazza he should have hustled out to the outfield to make the call. Carapazza appeared to jog a dozen feet or so toward left center for a view of the play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upcoming move, or moves? The Giants were still determining who will start Monday\u2019s game against the Padres, with the likely candidates Triple-A Sacramento starters Carson Whisenhunt and Trevor McDonald\u00a0\u2014 but Whisenhunt is scheduled to pitch for the River Cats this afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A bullpen game is a vague possibility, but hasn\u2019t been discussed quite as much, Vitello said Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given the Giants\u2019 recent stumble, could other transitions loom? Jerar Encarnacion hasn\u2019t been used much and the outfielder hasn\u2019t been all that effective in his brief appearances, batting .188 with no homers or RBIs, one walk and eight strikeouts. Another outfielder, Will Brennan, is also little used, but he does give the Giants a left-handed bat off the bench.<\/p>\n
(Infielder Christian Koss also is getting little time, but he\u2019s an excellent fielder, baserunner and the position-player pitcher, so he\u2019s going nowhere.)<\/p>\n
The Giants are loathe to bring up a top prospect only to sit, and there\u2019s no real spot for Bryce Eldridge, given that Rafael Devers is the first baseman and Casey Schmitt the DH.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Eldridge is batting .333 with a .963 OPS at Sacramento, and the Giants are struggling to score. Extremely useful Jesus Rodriguez, who can play everywhere except shortstop and pitcher, is batting .330, and he can catch. Either might be a nice addition if they can actually be wedged in on a regular basis, but neither would be called up for a strictly bench role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this point, the Giants are open to just about anything to get the season turned around, though. Don\u2019t be surprised if there is some sort of move beyond one to address the starting pitching vacancy Monday, or perhaps a move later in the week.<\/p>\n
In addition, reliever Sam Hentges (shoulder-capsule surgery) is getting close to the end of his rehab assignment and could be added to the big-league roster this week. Batters are hitting .091 off the lefty in his seven outings with the River Cats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco Giants pitcher Adrian Houser walks toward the dugout during the fourth inning of a baseball game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[103071,77297,101,4820,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-298163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-adrian-houser","tag-heliot-ramos","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-giants","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
