Before tonight, Zito was on pace to lose 29 games this year. Fortunately, I’m not good enough at math to figure out his new pace if he gets the L.

Watching Brian Bocock makes me kind of sad.

by jcb9 on May 7, 2008 6:08 PM PDT reply actions  

He is supposed to be an outstanding fielder. He is the hitting fail though.

Who gets sent down when Dreamy returns? Bocock or Burriss?

(Note that I said who gets sent down, not who should be sent down, which is both)

by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on May 7, 2008 6:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cody Ransom was supposed to be an outstanding fielder, too.

Merkin Valdez

Is there a reason he doesn’t get more work?

by wilriv21 on May 7, 2008 6:11 PM PDT reply actions  

he's our "setup" guy no?

the reason I ask is because Taschner gets plenty of work

by wilriv21 on May 7, 2008 6:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think Bochy might be overtaxing Taschner too…. just a little bit

by baetown415 on May 7, 2008 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

Taschner is from Wisconsin.

Kuip is pulling strings from the broadcast booth to get him in.

You realize Tasch has only been in one more game and has pitched 4 less innings.

Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

That would be Walker. Valdez is the designated 7th inning guy, I think.

Lewis 0-4 with 3 K's

And will never start against lefties again. Ever.

he's gotta learn though

Curtis Granderson couldn’t hit lefties at all last year.

granted, that is Curtis Granderson. but still

by baetown415 on May 7, 2008 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

I was thinking the same thing. The Giants are in the perfect position just to let Lewis hit against lefties.

Not “developing” Ortmeier isn’t really a problem.

by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on May 7, 2008 6:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh I agree.

But I’m pretty sure Bochy does not.

Not even if the team can score a few runs? He still only gave up 2 runs and pitched 5 innings (good for him). Way more than I expected!

I wonder what the record is for most starts by a pitcher without the team scoring a single run…

by jcb9 on May 7, 2008 6:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

Without scoring while the pitcher is still in the game, or not scoring for the entire game?

I meant the entire game, but either works.

I bet the Giants will score two runs at the top of the 9th, only to go down in order with the tying run on third.
