damn, you’re fast. You beat me to the fanshot. I don’t think they were doing it to just to block though. Why wouldn’t the Giants’ need him as much as the Dodgers and Rockies do? Their bullpens aren’t bad either.

It says they did the move partly to block the other teams.

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

yeah, but my point was that blocking those teams probably never occurred to them. We all know of the ties between Hoffman and Bochy, and don’t you think he would prefer Hoffman over at least some of those relievers he has in the bullpen?

Like...

… Valdez and Howry?

Well, Valdez anyway.

Even taking into account the walkoffs, Howry has been good enough that I’m not sure a 41 year old Hoffman is more than a very slight upgrade.

I would have agreed with you before Tuesday night

But it sure looks like Bochy has lost any and all confidnce in Howry.

How often do you see a manager pull a pitcher in the middle of an AB like Boch did Tuesday night? It was like he said “Holy sh*t, this guy sucks!”

That’s Bochy’s problem.

Beat me too.

I would like to see the Giants pick up Hoffman. At least pick him up for we don’t have to watch Vadez anymore…….

THE GINATS HAVE NO CLASS

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.

Leave Ken Caminetti out of this.

Any type of mongering is A-OK in my book.

How??

The Giants don’t walk much.

Can he start?

Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
