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.

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.”

by FairweatherFan on May 15, 2008 4:00 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   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.

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

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 reply reply actions actions   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.

That's really Tyler's M.O.

When he’s good, he’s dominant. But as soon as he allows a couple of baserunners, you should just pull him.

silver lining or bad omen??

One might see this loss as convincing B.S. that we’re a long ways from actually BEATING some of the top teams. (none of this “we hung tight with the Phillies and Astros…bullshit, a lot of games that should’ve been won were flat out lost)

On the other, god help us if he still thinks we’re in contention…as now he’s probably working the phones for a “cagey veteran reliever”..which he clearly has so much success in finding.
