I'd take Bleach over Osuck any day. Why in Sam Hill is he even allowed to pitch in a close game?!? Snelton is ready.

.159 BAA vs righties...

Crick may be the next Romo?

 

[Stokes1931]

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.

Both seem to have AAAA stuff. Great in AAA. Awful to worse in the Majors.

 

[calsnowskier]

Uh oh...

Wild Crick...

So far so good tonight....

 

[calsnowskier]

Even Wild Crick is effective.

Well done, kid...

 

[Stokes1931]

Uh oh...

Wild Crick...

No sweat. Who taught him to throw strikes? Need to have Krook take some lessons.

crikey cricky! (just felt like typing that....)

Giants need to stop drafting lefty pitchers out of colleges that begin with "O".

You agree with this statement?

Giants' top of the order 1-15

AZ top of the order 7-14

Panda strikes out to end the game, swinging at a ball a foot outside.

Did Sandoval swing at ball four?

That answers my question.
Crawford had a good offensive game but that base running gaffe in the second inning would have the difference to at least tie the game. And had Hundley not try for the triple, maybe the Giants could have won it (but that is maybe asking a bit much of this offense).

It must be nice to have 3 hitters that will have at least 30 HR.

Once Span hits his next home run, we'll have 5 guys in double digits! Hey, 5 is better than 3!

 

[LHG]

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.

I would disagree with you on the guaranteed spot. By no means has he been lights out but the only starters to outperform are Bumgarner and (barely) Samardzija. With that said, if he continues to slip and Stratton ends strong, Stratton may have the inside track (barring some free agent pickup).

He went to OSU, so screw him

(but really the Giants' recent success from the state has been unimpressive)

Fuckin' miss that old lug right about now.
