Here is something to ponder

What’s the better predictor in future team performance – being 15th in the league in runs scored like the Giants, being 15th in the league in ERA like the Phillies, or being tied for 3rd in the league in run differential at +23?

The two teams tied at +23 are the Giants and Phillies

It’s too bad that Affeldt probably has to come out after pitching one and two thirds innings. Still two innings left too, I hope three runs is enough.

I wouldn’t let Brian Wilson pitch to Pujols with runners on. I’d walk him and let someone else beat the Giants. I looked at the Cards stats the other day. It’s no wonder they traded for DeRosa; everyone else is having a bad season, can’t hit, or both.
