Post-Game Recap: Zito Dominates
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 7, 2009 9:36 PM PDT
Email
PrintThere have been a few games in which Barry Zito pitched eight innings for the Giants. Most of them were only barely impressive -- there were a lot of high-walk/low-hit games mixed in, which probably had as much to do with good fortune as they did with good pitching.
Tonight, though, Zito pitched his best game as a Giant. It was the consummate "Oh, that Barry Zito"-game. This pitcher, this exact same collection of cells and neurons, won a freaking Cy Young once. Yep. After some Zito outings, mentioning the Old Zito was like talking about a handsome, svelte Orson Welles. Not tonight. Tonight it was 2002. Throw on that newfangled Shakira album and party, folks.
And while it was so easy to root for the complete game shutout, it was hard not to agree with Bruce Bochy's decision to pull Zito. A fine Zito outing has devolved into a fine Zito mess far too often in the late innings. Romo is a mustachioed relief god from the planet Out, and the only thing separating him from Goose Gossage is an avian nickname and more mustache. So, yeah, going to Romo wasn't a bad move.
Congrats to Barry Zito for his best game as a San Francisco Giant.

Great win
I’m still pissed about Zito getting pulled but it’s not like it was a bad baseball decision, he brought in Romo. It was just kinda dick to Zito and showed a lack of a plan once again. If a bloop hit was all it took to get Zito out of the game, just start the inning with Romo.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at second.
I am still back and forth on how I feel about this decision

My guess: the plan was to let him pitch until he gave up a baserunner – to let him go out there and have a chance for the CGSO, but pull him before the tying run comes to the plate.

A bloop hit really shouldn’t have changed that though. A walk or a hard hit ball would be fine.

Wilson?
As Romo left the field, Brian Wilson chastised him for not learning how to give up two runs and load the bases before getting the save.

Zito looked great
I was really impressed with his start tonight. Definitely makes me feel a lot better with Randy on the DL. Still wish we got more run support, but hey, I’ll take it.
This was a big win. I was expecting to Marlins to take this one to be perfectly frank with Johnson on the hill for Florida and Zito coming off a bad start. Now though, we look primed for the sweep. Here’s to a quality Sadowski start.

oh and to the dude in front of me that got really drunk in my lower box section and started cussing nonstop in front of all the kiddies… not so classy.

Going to a baseball game just to get drunk: not classy.
Cussing without regard in front of other people’s kids: assholey.
He’s a double threat!
