GM Harris explains why Giants didn't add starter at deadline originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area. The Giants made a last-minute splash right before the MLB trade deadline on July 30, acquiring former NL MVP Kris Bryant from the Chicago Cubs. Bryant filled one of three (speculated) needs the Giants were looking to address: a right-handed bat, a starting pitcher and a late-inning reliever. They addressed two of those needs while opting not to add another starting pitcher before the deadline. Making the decision not to bolster their rotation, the Giants have -- in a way -- made a commitment to Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Johnny Cueto and Logan Webb. Webb (W, 6 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 Ks) was very good against a potent Houston Astros lineup Sunday afternoon, acting as an example as to why the Giants did not trade for a starter. “I think yesterday showed you why we didn’t go out and grab a starter,” Giants general manager Scott Harris said on KNBR's "Murph & Mac". “If we were to add a starter, most people would have expected that (Logan Webb) might have been the odd man out. He’s throwing the ball as well as anyone in our rotation right now. We think he’s one of our best starters, I think the fans saw it yesterday."Humm Baby Baseball is an all baseball channel that talks baseball in general but also has a focus on the San Francisco Giants.

Nights like these, when the weekend arrives and the Dodgers are in town, don't often feel like a home-field advantage for the Padres. So many Dodgers fans make the 125-mile drive south that Petco Park is often called "Dodger Stadium South" when the two teams match up. But that wasn't the case Friday and Saturday. Petco Park, which had waited 16 years to host fans for a postseason game, was stuffed with locals who rooted hard for the Padres and filled the ballpark with "Beat L.A." chants that at times felt deafening. And when Josh Hader recorded the final out, capping a thrilling 5-3 victory in Game 4 of the National League Division Series, the place erupted in joy. The Padres -- the same Padres who have spent almost their entire existence chasing the decorated franchise to the north -- are advancing to their first NL Championship Series since 1998. They will face the upstart Philadelphia Phillies and hold home-field advantage for the first time in these playoffs. The Padres went on the road to beat the 101-win New York Mets in the wild-card round last weekend then won three straight games against a 111-win Dodgers team that had dominated them over the previous six months. "It took a team effort to beat a really good team," Padres third baseman Manny Machado said, "and we did that tonight." The Padres held a lead throughout Game 3, but they fell behind early in Game 4. When the seventh inning came around, they trailed 3-0 and faced the grim prospect of returning to Los Angeles to go against Dodgers ace Julio Urias in a winner-take-all Game 5.
