And there is your quintessential SujMERDEjuh moment. Another mound shat.

 

[Hangman]

Are we going to be a top 5 pick in the draft again next year?

 

[msgkings322]

I'm not sure we can say he's hurt, he's hitting 94 on the gun, etc.

He just can't locate. That last HR Posey wanted it low, he left it hanging, boom.

 

[Hangman]

Just think we have to watch him for 2 more seasons after this one. I hated the deal at the time but was told it was great cause he is an inning eater. He sucks. I wish we could trade him for a bag of balls.

 

[LHG]

We don't have anyone better than an injured Samardjiza, sadly.

With an ERA close to 7.00 in 6 starts, I think they could at least bring in someone to pitch at the same level and let him get healthy, if he is indeed hurt.

His velocity is fine, what is supposedly hurting?

A couple nuggets from MLB Trade Rumors on Pence:
"The Giants aren’t going to bring left fielder Hunter Pence off the DL during the upcoming week unless they’re convinced he’ll provide a boost to their offense, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group writes."
"With Mac Williamson still being held out of games following concussion symptoms, the Giants will hope they can get Pence back into their depleted outfield mix sooner than later."

Depleted????

Yes, because if you have Jackson and Blanco starting every day you have a depleted outfield

The signing was not a slam dunk but it was a reasonable bet. The problem is lately most of their bets have been crap: Jackson, Melancon, Samardjiza. Cueto was a great one. Longo and Cutch maybe will break that trend. When we were winning, our bets mostly paid off. It's not unreasonable to think the window is closed but we'll see, still a ton of season left.

 

[msgkings322]

OK one out double from Cutch, 3-4-5 hitters up. What kind of team is this?

 

[Stokes1931]

My eyes.

 

[msgkings322]

OK, showing a little sack

 

[msgkings322]

Go deep Longo, high velocity pitcher...

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt with an two-out RBI!

Will wonders never cease?

 

[msgkings322]

Meh, at least they cashed Cutch

 

[msgkings322]

Belt with an two-out RBI!

Will wonders never cease?

With RISP!

 

[Stokes1931]

Go deep Longo, high velocity pitcher...

You'd think with a 2-0 count he'd get a better pitch to hit.

I'm going off complete hearsay on him, with the rumblings others shared about him coming back too early from his spring training injury. If that is not the case, then it is scary how bad he's gotten.

 

[LHG]

Yes, because if you have Jackson and Blanco starting every day you have a depleted outfield

But that is the healthy outfield, minus a very poor offensive left fielder that they want back to make the outfield whole. Depleted isn't the right word, that indicates a bunch of guys who were supposed to be on the roster are injured.

OK vocabulary police

How about shitty outfield, is that better?
