Personally I have to rebut what Grant said.

Zito's run support, or lack thereof
Kruk and Kuip are complaining about Zito’s 2.10 run support average. Yes, that’s not been good, but neither has Zito’s 5.61 ERA and 1.79 Whip, plus 12 walks to only 10 k’s. So, it’s fairly obvious that his 0-5 record is more due to Zito’s general support of the other team’s offense more than his own team’s lack of support for him.

Frankly, someone like Cain can really be talked about for lack of run support. He gives up a run, and we can’t even give him two.

for real though, it’s time. we can’t waste any more games on barry zito. i understand the contract. but when it comes down to it sabean MUST do what is good for the team. he has no choice to cut Zito. he’s untradeable and if not cut now, will lose every game this season. with the giants offense he has no chance simply because the best he can do is give up 3 or 4 runs in a 6 inning start, but in most cases . . . he just gets lit up. he’s done.

Volquez had limited his last 4 opponents to 1 run or less…so this game was probably over before the 2nd out was recorded.
Let Zito throw until his arm falls off. it’d be good for the bullpen, good for the team.
