Hayden Birdsong Shines, Giants Still Fall
by Chase Davis | Giants Correspondent | Fri, Sep 13th 8:09am EDT
Hayden Birdsong delivered a strong performance, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite Birdsong's solid outing, his season stats — a 4.74 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP — suggest inconsistency. However, his 10.7 K/9 indicates his ability to rack up strikeouts, which remains a silver lining for fantasy managers. Given his high FIP of 5.12, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his surface stats might not fully reflect the underlying performance risks. Birdsong's outing was a bright spot, but his season-long volatility makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
