The top three starters for the Giants, Bumgarner, Cueto and Samardzija all on the DL. What's next, an earthquake at Pac Bell?

You know what happens when this hits a team?
Yeah ... you lose 99 games.
But these guys are not out for the season, just a month or so.
Could be ugly but no cause for panic.
I see the Giants (gasp) will use rookie pitchers. The Reds had to do that for about 100 games. It's fun to watch.

Cueto is only expected to miss one start, so no major concern YET. And Sammy is scheduled back in a couple weeks.

But it is funny to look at the Giants rotation as it sits right now...

Blach
Stratton
Holland
Beede
Suarez

Yeah, that's a good way to look at it. At least we'll learn something about what we have in the young guys.

You can go 4-6 over 2 rotations and get some experience from these guys.
I mentioned the Reds having to do this with their entire staff for over half a season. That was painful and worse, some guys who were given the chance dropped it like a hot potato. Young guys all know the door opens only so wide. What they need to do is prove they belong in a rotation. That's why it's fun to watch, seeing who knows how to stay in a game for 6 innings. Like getting a bunt down or paying attention to the catcher on a comebacker.

I wonder why they put him on the DL if that is the case. Holland, in my opinion, was a good pick up. he'll help.

Still, a chance to win their first series of the year. Suarez looks a little like Bumgarner out there.

I think it was a retro thing but it's about roster construction, even for one game. If a guy can't play, you go short to the ballpark. With a starting pitcher, it's not a big deal but to the players union, I suppose it is.

Back to back starters today and yesterday making their Major League debut.

he has more home runs than hunter pence
Pence is a shell of his old self. He used to be such a joy to watch, now its just painful to watch him struggle at the plate. He got his first and only RBI of the season last night on a pop up to left field with a runner on third.

Talk about poor luck. Oh well these are all relatively short term injuries and better April for an injury than September.
