Cheese those cheesing cheesesteaks...

4-3 good guys

Technically, Webb is not a rookie. He lost that tag last year. Doval is the only true rookie on the team.

He's still a rook to me. And pitching like one BTW. Five and dive is the best we can hope for today...

You may be too optimistic in your assessment.

I did say HOPE for. It doesn't look like he'll get out of the third. Mound fairly well prepped for a good shatting. Looks like I'll get to punch out of this one early.

 

[LHG]

Freakin' Webb! The dude's future seems to be in the bullpen. Ideally, I'd like to see him make a few more starts before a final assessment but I don't know how many more of these games I can stomach from him.

 

[LHG]

NOW he starts getting quick outs.

 

[tzill]

Yup. Mound shat, game essentially over. Get 'em tomorrow.

 

[LHG]

Today's game marks the 22nd MLB start of his young career. Out of those 22 starts, he's only pitched past the 5th inning (not counting starts he got pulled in the 6th inning without recording an out) in 6 of those starts. He got through a full 6 innings in 3 games and only went 7 full innings in 1 game.

 

[LHG]

How did Segura get injured that half inning? The Giants' batters struck out, struck out and lined out to 1st base.

Edit: Nevermind. The update came in late. It wasn't in the top of the 4th inning.

Buster Posey says no shut out tonight!

Solo shot.

 

[LHG]

Solo shot.

Are you suggesting that the Giants hit any other kind?

 

[LHG]

LaStella! He seems to forget that only one run per home run is the unwritten rule among Giants.

LaStella! He seems to forget that only one run per home run is the unwritten rule among Giants.

A double solo shot!

Looks like we have ourselves a game. Did tzill exit already?

 

[LHG]

Jarlin Garcia?!?! And here I thought Kapler wouldn't give up the game with that last inning rally. Come on, Garcia. You made me look like an optimistic fool last time. Make me wrong again (in the opposite direction).

 

[msgkings322]

Honest injun:

Before reading any of this thread, I predict tzill has already said he's done.

Now to investigate...

 

[msgkings322]

Yep, post #8, I was right. What a vagina that guy is.

 

[LHG]

At this point, I'd be okay if the Giants release Jarlin Garcia. He's not good anymore.

 

[LHG]

Yep, post #8, I was right. What a vagina that guy is.

How come what he prioritizes bothers you so? It seems odd, to me, that he only watches the Giants if they have a well pitched game from the starter but I don't understand your frustration with it.
