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

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 0 recs
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.

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.

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 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 on May 4, 2008 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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.

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.

Opposite field double for Castillo
Bobbled by the defender, Rowand lumbers around third and bellyflops (more than a slide, it was a bellyflop) toward the the plate in a really close play at the plate.
Rowand slow to get up. But he does.

1. Castillo rips Double
2. Jenkins takes the light rail to get to it (i.e. takes a long time and kinda stands around for a while)
3. Flannery sends Rowand home
4. Rowand dives past Ruiz and touches the plate, but lands right on injured ribs

I hope Bochy doesn’t let the infield have tomorrow off, though. They need to practice fielding the ball.

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.
