Will a future Hall of Famer bounce back for the San Francisco Giants after perhaps the worst season of his professional career?

Ray’s second Cactus League start was an encapsulation of the 33-year-old veteran at his best. He touched 96 mph with his fastball. He generated whiffs with his changeup, a pitch he learned from last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner, Tarik Skubal. He filled up the zone, landing 29 strikes on 36 pitches.

For the first time since their 2014 World Series win, the San Francisco Giants may finally have a clear path forward. Hiring team legend Buster Posey as their president of baseball operations may have been their biggest addition of the offseason.

The San Francisco Giants made sure to celebrate the 42nd birthday of one of their free-agent signings in a comical way.
