PrintOdds that Shane Victorino will be a Giant when he's 35: even. Look in your cynical heart; you know it's true.

was that badly blocked by Holm or just a really wild pitch?

I don’t think all of those runs are unearned, I don’t think they’d assume the double play on Castillo’s error.

Victorino should have been out on the error, and then Jenkins’s flyball should have been a third out, not a sac fly. They should all be unearned.

I fear for Lincecum's something
I really hope his arm’s not causing this.

okay so it was a wild pitch...
did Feliz swing?
Adopted papa of a bouncing new waiver wire 27 year old. Castillo hits doubles.
Unearned runs don’t hurt Tim’s ERA, but they are still something to be concerned about.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
2 of those 4 runs werent even unearned,
they shouldnt have even existed on the error by the catcher
"...and Bocock is in the whole"
woops
sorry, fruedan slip, i meant on the bad call by the ump, im tired today, i had sat yesterday
"...and Bocock is in the whole"
Gameday had this title for Victorino's run:
“Victorino takes advantage”
lollol
13-16...could have been worse.
Gah
Worried the bullpen might be gassed after Friday and Saturday night. Now they probably need to pitch 4 innings.

This has been a high stress night on a young arm.

Anyone else think
running Timmy out for 122 pitches two starts ago in SD was a bad idea?

1.23 R/9
11.04 K/9
In 2 starts since that
10.50 H/9
5.25 R/9
6.75 K/9
his velocity has been okay today though, hasn't it?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I generally question the way the team has handled his arm this year.
Super duper cyborg mechanics or not, he’s still a 23 year old arm. STOP FUCKING WITH IT.

Stud or Pussy
If the Enchanter is everything we think he is, throwing 122 pitches in a game shouldn’t phase him. He’s just been wild since then. Look back at how many pitches guys like Marichal and Perry threw. It’s ridiculous to think no one in this generation is capable of the same.
by NearestNorwich on May 4, 2008 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
the game is not the same as when Marichal and Perry threw.
and Lincecum might someday be capable of that, but you don’t need to try to wring everything you can out of his arm when he’s only 23.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
1) This isn’t the ‘60s. Pitching had changed. Marichal would get TAGGED if he pitched today.
2) I forgot the rest of my point. Sorry.

I dunno...
He’s thrown 104 pitches as I’m writing this. It’s not ideal, but it’s not 122 pitches either.

he's had a lot of stressful innings though
runners on base and in scoring position almost every inning.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Understood
Take today’s game out of the discussion, though, and this high-stress innings issue is a bigger, Rags issue. Cain has had the same problem this year (and last year at times). The starters throw way too many pitches, and I wonder whether some of that isn’t on the pitching coach.

Lincecum
The reason’s he’s still in is because of richie’s HR. If that HR hadn’t been hit, Zito would be in.
Todd Jennings: Next up on the Non-prospect Backup Catcher Train. Next Stop: The Pine at AT&T Park
Seriously.
If we all had 11 fingers, most of us would be fine with this decision. Tendons don’t care about the base-10 system.
There’s nothing magic about 100 pitches. It can be a handy benchmark, but that’s all. If Lincecum has another taxing inning and Bochy still keeps him out there, I’ll rail along with y’all.
I don't care about the pitch count
It’s because he’s been struggling with command all day and just came off an EXTREMELY stressful and ineffective inning.
I’m glad he managed a 1-2-3 though, good job, Tim.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

I agree...
...but except for ‘90s Maddux and turn-of-the-century Pedro, almost every pitcher will have at least one or more stress innings in every start. I don’t think having a stress inning around 90/100 pitches merits an automatic removal for a young pitcher. I know I’m in the minority on this one.
by Grant Brisbee on May 4, 2008 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, it’s just been a stressful game all around and it felt like he was lucky to get out of the last one with only 2 runs allowed. I felt like he was losing effectiveness, judging by his wildness in the last inning and that meant it was a good time to take him out.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I mostly agree, but I would have done what Bochy did. Start the inning with Lincecum, but have the bullpen ready if he looks gassed.
by Grant Brisbee on May 4, 2008 12:42 PM PDT up reply actions
I guess it’s not too bad since he got the inning done quickly, I just feel like the Giants could do a better job of babying their young arms. Sometimes I feel like they try to get too much out of them, especially in a year where we’re not going to compete for anything.

Canderous is tough in II, but he is one of the characters I really had to force myself to use. Granted, I usually don’t go to his planet early in the game, so I already have other characters I think are better for the team.

Then again, if this bullpen were anything like years past, i wouldn’t even get the opportunity to be frustrated by how close these games are.

That play by Velez was horrible, but Yabu had Howard at 2-2 and looking bad (as he has all series), and couldn’t throw another strike.

Friday the bullpen gives it up. Saturday a comeback win. Sunday the defense is horrible and some late bullpen lapses. Got to play better my friends.
Wow. As much as it’s possible for the postgame wrap to rip into Giants players, Kruk and Kuip are doing it to Velez. Kruk sounds genuinely pissed.

Kruk was a pitcher so he definitely wants the play made behind him. Kuip was a solid glove 2b and knows at the very least that ball must be kept in the infield.
I know why they look at it that way - and it’s hard to quibble - but god do I hate relievers walking guys into scoring position, particularly guys mired in Bocockesque slumps.

that play happened just as I was leaving work. I thought of about 100 ways to kill Velez on the way home, but now that I’m calmed down, I think the solution is to use Burriss as a defensive replacement at second when Omar gets back. I don’t want to give up on Eugenio and spend the rest of my season watching Ray Durham. It’s a shame we wasted Aurilia’s day though. It sort of reminded me of that game where Babe Ruth hit three homeruns one month before he was released by the Boston Braves.
