It's okay

2 out double does not a rally make.

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 reply   0 recs

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)

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

he was, except for that one time…

Merkin Valdez

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

by wilriv21 on May 7, 2008 6:11 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply   0 recs

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

by baetown415 on May 7, 2008 6:13 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Taschner is from Wisconsin.

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

even though his numbers are better against righties

BUT WE MUST RESPECT THE SPLIT

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

Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.
Adopted Giant: Henry Sosa

by raisingcain on May 7, 2008 6:37 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

No

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

I agree

It still confuses me as to why he was brought up over someone like Ochoa.

It still confuses me as to why it never occurred to Sabean that sometimes 41 year old players get hurt.

I dunno, he didn’t exactly do much to earn a promotion from San Jose last year, did he?

Okay, WTF is going on

3 called 3rd strikes? Is the Umpire just giving them up or what?

Lewis 0-4 with 3 K's

And will never start against lefties again. Ever.

Only 939 games until the end of Zito's contract

by thehavenot on May 7, 2008 6:22 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Oh I agree.

But I’m pretty sure Bochy does not.

Because, even with this team, 3 called strike 3’s is a little rediculous…

which is worse?

a game like yesterday’s where it’s obviously completely out of reach….
or a game like today’s where it kinda looks like it’s in reach, but not really

by baetown415 on May 7, 2008 6:27 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

I'm not sure

But I don’t like either. They both make me want to turn them off.

As far as losses go, I hate the close ones more because there’s at least a sliver of hope. I can relax for blowouts.

Yeah, he actually pitched good enough for the win tonight, if only this team could manage to score a run.

Him and Cain can cry together.

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!
