On the SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 Talk about the swift move by San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey last night in throwing out Arizona Diamondbacks runner Gerald Perdomo at first base to end the ball game.

#2 It was a crucial out for Bailey to pick off Perdomo to end the game as the score was 4-3 and the Diamondbacks would try just about anything to get back in this game.

#3 Bailey certainly is making a name for himself as the defensive catcher throwing out his 19th runner in 449 innings trying to steal. This is the most by a catcher since the Philadelphia Phillies Jorge Alfaro did it in 2018 throwing 21 runners in 869 innings.

#4 Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that the catchers are just as responsible as anyone else in helping the club win ball games adding that Bailey can really change a ball game with his defense.

#5 The Diamondbacks come back for game three of the four game series tonight, the Diamondbacks have Slade Cecconi (0-0 ERA 0.00) as starter and the Giants will start pitcher Logan Webb (8-9 ERA 3.49). Talk about he has only one win in his last six starts.
