Offense Bails Out Starting Pitching Again: Giants/Diamondbacks Saturday Night Recap
Six of their last seven? A functional bullpen? I'm starting to get suspicious. I think they might be seeing other leagues and losing behind our backs. When I was doing laundry, I found a pocketful of suck in their pants pockets. I'll turn a blind eye for now.
I really, really, really, really hope we didn't get Randy Johnson's impression of a 1986 Steve Carlton. That would make for a long season. But I'm not too worried yet. His last start bought some patience
Sabean's maneuvering helped us in this one. Waiver-wire pickup Nat Sheerholt singled and scored an insurance run. Hopefully this wasn't a fluke, though I'm sure Sheerholt is just a stopgap until the Giants make a trade for a fourth outfielder.
Good win. They all are.

I'd feel better if he had an injury. THAT you can come back from.
He was a mere mortal , not the angry god he used to be.
Did you see the way he walked off the field? My heart went out to him , and the Chase crowd did the best they could to make him feel better.
I think his previous start was fueled by personal animosity , the duct tape of desire.
I think he’s done.
I hope I’m so wrong it isn’t funny.

But it’s not like we are in the play offs, this next game counts the same as the first game of the next series.

Funny thing about addition... it is commutative.
Games in April count just as much as those in September. Games you win in April are not games you then HAVE to win in September in order to stay alive. You know what they call a team that wins its first 92 games and loses its next 70? They call them Division Champions. Wins in April are important to get in the bank, no matter what.
Now, of course, the above is even more compelling and even convincing if we were supporting a team that had a realistic shot at post-season play this year, but still, math is math.

I'll be the first to say
that I was one of the naysayers after the SD and LA series’, but that was because I wasn’t having nearly as much fun watching these guys.
Sitting through games like these is a much more enjoyable experience, especially when the bullpen in on.
My point: I can enjoy shitty baseball when we are 12 games out in late September because the postseason hopes haven’t been dashed. When the Giants get crushed like that in the first couple weeks of the season, I shouldn’t be hiding sharp objects.

I have to admit that I liked his gamerosity whilst in Oakland
but his stint in AZ has absolutely murdered my positive view of him. He can eat a bag of soft poop.
Derin McMains had five fingers, but he only used three.
I still like him for Oakland
I was at the bay bridge game when he went 5 for 2 with 9 homers and a moonshot. I think he made about 5 diving catches- quite a display. I figured the Giants would drop a C-5 load of money on him for sure after that game, but they didn’t .

Winn was 1-for-14 in four games as a No. 3 hitter before coming through tonight. Even though he’s been struggling, he’s started every game for the Giants so far. Bruce Bochy would be forced to play Nate Schierholtz if Winn were on the bench and he just can’t have that.

2) Has the Official Merkin Valdez Search Party been organized yet?
"Are we bad? No. But right now, we are." Boulderskull, 4.16.09
That's a good point -

2) Sanchez just wanted to get an inning in, but is scheduled to start Tue

Caution, gentlemen
OK, folks. I’m as excited as the rest of you about winning five games in a row. Heck, I’m even proud of this team.
Let’s not forget, however, that the Giants played a crappy team, and for the most part the Giants still can’t hit well. Also, most teams would seriously punish you for seven walks in 3+ innings.
When we start taking games from the Dodgers, that’s when I will pretend like we have a prayer.
Not trying to be a party pooper. I just don’t want to get my heart broken.
Lastly, will somebody who is lucky enough to go to Giants homes games yell at Boch to play Torres and Schierholtz a lot more? Thanks very much.
