Yeah, I see they blew up the game

3 HR in the last two IP. Nice.

10 Ks for timmy, 105 pitches in 6 IP. Not great, not horrible.

Tim was fine, a few rough innings.

Chulk and Walker on the other hand…

anyone else get the impression that Bochy thinks that Berkman is “due to make some outs”...?

I don’t care if Carlos Lee is batting behind Berkman, Berkman is totally on fire right now and I’d prefer to pitch to Lee. I don’t understand why Bochy doesn’t instruct his pitchers to pitch around Berkman.

An aside:

Anyone else remember, during Letterman’s old “Viewer Mail” segment when he’d get a brief letter with a couple names on it, and he’d remark, “It took TWO people to write this letter”? That bit came to mind when I looked at the Giants pitching line today and thought, “It took FIVE pitchers to give up eight runs.”

This is just how this season is going to go.

We can score 3 runs and win and score 7 runs w/ our ace on the mound and lose.

god dammit.

I really think we need to blame this on the Astros

Not the bullpen. They haven’t been walking people

Eugeniooooooo!!!!

by FairweatherFan on May 15, 2008 4:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

i don't know...

that 4-run eighth was some of shittiest the Astros had to offer, and the Giants couldn’t get through them.
Wild pitch put Geoff Blum on, single to Mark Loretta (.235 BA), Darin Erstad homer, Brad Ausmus walks, Kaz Matsui single…

yikes. i don’t think this is the true giants bullpen, but i definitely think they get to shoulder today’s blame.

Astros

when I saw their HR totals I thought they were inflated because of the Central Division bandboxes but then they come here and hit a ton of HRs

by wilriv21 on May 15, 2008 4:02 PM PDT   0 recs

They are fuckin slamming the ball.

I guess Tejada, Berkamn, Lee is a pretty good core.

Oh yeah, and ERSTAD.

WTF first Ausmus and then ERSTAD?

would the result be the same if the Astros were here on a cold, foggy night in July?

I hate Timmy losses and no decisions

cuz they ruin the next five days. All the other days are simply steps on the path to a #1 pick.

There are four teams with worse records than ours. How is that even possible?

by Evan on May 15, 2008 4:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

2 of them are the Rockies and Padres

Each of them should finish ahead of us. The Senators might be a stretch to catch…but our team really does suck, so…live the dream.

120 games to go. I full believe we can lose 75-80 or those games. That should give us a good shot.

I’d actually love it if he just said, “screw it” and threw Matt Cain in as a PH. I bet this game would be tied.
