Zito was pissed about being pulled, but with a 6 run lead, he can’t be walking so many batters like that and be at 115 pitches in less than 5 innings of work.
Zito was perfectly calm until Bochy told him he was being replaced by Bautista.

I can only assume you haven't been watching the whole game.
Zito has been less than stellar, even for bad Zito.
Bringing in three relievers to promptly walk in two runs doesn’t exactly raise our spirits.
Sure, we scored six, but we have all seen plenty of opponents overcome three run leads, especially with hitters like the Brewers opposing the bullpen when it’s sucking like it is today.

It's like the relievers are all auditioning to be sent down
Bautista made a strong argument, but then Casilla presented his case.
Runzler went 3-2 but then struck Inglett out so that’s gonna weigh against him…

That's actually a tough spot for the hitter
3-2 count with the bases loaded and the pitchers have been having trouble throwing strikes.
You are more inclined to take the pitch and so it is more likely that something like that happens.

With that grounder in a bases loaded situation, he already has become one of us.

Hmmmm… I think the cat is off napping somewhere. I think I’ll go get some revenge for the 4am pouncing I endured from her this morning….
Apparently
The inability to find the strike zone is contagious and has spread to the Brewers, the Giants starters should be ordered out of the park.
goddamnit. runzler back out for the 7th...
cant wait to see the bases loaded no outs again.
That's not how you do it, Dan.

Yeah they kept on saying ankle but you can clearly see the knee pop out of alignment then back.
