Not only did they sign him when they really didn’t need him...

But they signed him to a TWO YEAR DEAL!!!!


:noidea:

Really would have been cool if the Giants used that money to sign a starting pitcher as opposed to a 10th outfielder

Who profiled exactly like 2 other OFers already in the fold (not positive on the timing of the Blanco signing, but I am ranting, so I will assume the worst).

There's got to be a team out there willing to eat his salary if the Giants throw in a low-level prospect

Good job by Dutch Boy.

But only 5 innings. I's amazing we are around .500 with the crap starting pitching we run out there. I hope there's time to turn it around, be a shame to waste this pen and this lineup

Updated for tonight’s game...

Cueto has gone 7 twice and 6 three times (5 starts - 5/5)
Stratton has gone 7 IP 3 times, 6.2 once and 6 two other times (14 starts - 6/14)
Holland went 6.1 once and 6 on 4 other occasions (14 starts - 5/14)
Blach went 7.2 once and went 6 innings 3 other times (12 starts - 4/12)
Suarez went 7 twice and 6 in another game (9 starts - 3/9)
Bumgarner went 6 once (2 starts - 1/2)
Rodriguez went 6.2 once and 6 once (3 starts - 2/3)
Sammy went 6.2 once (8 starts - 1/8)
Beede (2 starts - 0/2)

While tonight’s start was not a QS and it looks bad in this view, I am OK with Holland’s outing. Without the big error, he might have been able to get another inning, and would not have given up the 3rd run.

Pence is now 5-22 with his "new" swing, which is beginning to look a lot like his old swing. Good team guy, but the wheels are coming off. Quickly.
If by “coming off”, you mean “came off a couple years ago”, I agree 100%

Still love the guy. Right up there with Nuschler as one of my favorite Giants of all time, but Rosanne is singing, brother...

I would guess that everyone will eventually reach that conclusion. He was terrible, they took a shot at a retooling. If it doesn't take, it's Ichiro time.

Have the dogs ever said why they play the annoying music? Don’t they get laughed at for it by their own fans as well?

I hope they come to a similar agreement (quiet release followed by a retirement announcement). That was a classy way of doing it. The Giants tend to do the 60-day DL finish, which is better than tossing the guy out with the trash, but still not very dignified.

That's a big reason that I don't go there much.
