How much longer do you all think Travis Bergen will be on the team? He's looking really bad this series.

Willie Mays II strikes (out) again!

 

[LHG]

Updated top five hitters for this team:

Madison Bumgarner - .333/.333/.778 (9 ABs)
Brandon Belt - .231/.342/.646 (65 ABs)
Pablo Sandoval - .259/.259/.704 (27 ABs)
Kevin Pillar - .208/.228/.585 (53 ABs)
Steven Duggar - .238/.267/.513 (80 ABs)

These five have drawn a combined 13 walks, 9 of which are by Belt. That is quite the hacking bunch. And Pillar is doing better than I thought offensively. Maybe he's better than I thought.

It's a shame all that production is wasted on our shitty pitching

 

[tzill]

Do you literally not even care about how the Giants hit? Seriously, not joking, would you be happy if they lose 120 games but only give up like 500 runs?

Happy? No.

Would I watch? Yes.

This crap, I can't stomach.

You're overthinking it.

It's a shame that our rotation is shitty.

No you're thinking it wrong, again. It's fine, we know you are mentally ill.

If the shoe fits ..

Why do you get so bothered? Your analysis of the game of baseball is skewed crazily, but that's no crime.

Objectively, you are very wrong. Quelle surprise!

2019 MLB Team Pitching Stats - Major League Baseball - ESPN

Our starters ranked as a team in the NL:

3rd in ERA

1st in IP

Tied for 5th in fewest BB issued

4th in BAA

So, objectively, you are full of that which is already overflowing from your diaper.

I guess we shall see. I don't think this post is going to age well.

My post is based on the facts.

If the facts change, so will my conclusions.

My conclusions are always based on the facts. I do not come to conclusions first, then twist the facts to fit.

I guess we will see, won't we.

It's quite clear to anyone who follows the facts:

The issue with this team is not the pitching.

It is the hitting. Butt-nekkid last in OPS in the NL. Point six oh two. Pathetic:

It might not but it describes the present very well, better than you do

The ultimate argument ender

 

[tzill]

It might not but it describes the present very well, better than you do

But that’s the thing...does it?

Or does it describe a SSS blip which is not indicative of the real underlying situation?

 

[tzill]

The ultimate argument ender[/QUOTE

I think the positions are quite clear:

One position is that the Giants 3-5 pitchers don’t suck. It cites to SSS current stats.
My position is that the 3-5 DO suck, and that this is a SSS aberration.

Nothing more need be said. We shall see how it all plays out.

So, objectively, the SP are mediocre.

And trending in the wrong direction.
