Good thing Tomlinson is out of the lineup. He has only hit .293 since Panik's injury...

 

[stanford the manford]

ok as unwatchable as the day-glo orange and gray is, those knee-high socks span and pence are sporting should be illegal

 

[1phlapdown]

OY

 

[LHG]

I think the D-Backs are whitewashing Bleach. blech! It must be Whiteside's fault.

Blach may be hitting the rookie wall, running out of gas.

 

[stanford the manford]

tie game, top of the 9th, bases loaded, 2 out. if goldschmidt was at the plate, i'd walk him

With any pitcher?

 

[LHG]

Why Suarez in close games?

 

[stanford the manford]

With any pitcher?

any giants' pitcher

Blach may be hitting the rookie wall, running out of gas.

Or he's just not very consistent, like a lot of the Gs pitchers this year: May 4.55 Jun 5.65 Jul 3.67 Aug 5.47.

I was thinking the same thing. But then you look at his game logs, and, um...

Yeah. He isn't that impressive looking.

IMHO, he should not have a guaranteed rotation spot next year. He would be a decent #4 because he eats innings. But that is about it.

 

[calsnowskier]

I am totally OK with Okert and/or Osich getting DFA'd this off season to make room for someone else. They have both completely lost all semblance of ability this year.

Sad, really. They both looked borderline studly coming up.
