Amazing they haven’t released the lineups yet.

That is some world class passive aggressiveness there, cal LOL

Out by a mile with a pretty embarrassing slide.

Yeah that was weak

 

[msgkings322]

WOW Gorkys makes amends there, great play

Meh.

He took a banana route. If he didn’t over run it, he wouldn’t have had to reach behind to catch it.

 

[msgkings322]

Longo also showing glove!

You are hella grumpy today

 

[calsnowskier]

Now THAT was a great catch.

I mean, Samardjiza has a resume from like 3 years ago. At what point do we decide he's washed up?

Nah. I got rainbows coming out of my ass...

 

[msgkings322]

For me, I think it's right this second. I just don't see any reason to expect him to be good again. He has no location, his fastball has no movement, he's useless.

He was good last year.

But yeah. This is painful.

But what other options do the Giants have?

Good? Forget his peripherals, yeah he didn't walk anyone, he threw it right over the plate instead and they hit a million homers off him. Actually 30 in 32 starts. 4.42 ERA in a pitchers park in the NL. Not good.

And now he's way worse.

We don't have any options, another data point in the theory that our window is closed. We do not have a rotation worth shit, even when Bum comes back it's weak. And Cueto isn't back in almost forever.

 

[msgkings322]

Samardjiza is probably our worst starter.

 

[Stokes1931]

Samardjiza is probably our worst starter.

Hard to tell, really. The expectations are higher for him than for Stratton and Blach and Suarez. But yeah, he has pitched like dog meat so far.

I just meant my confidence level, when I see it;s his turn I know it's gonna be a ton of runs for the other guys. Holland a close second.

 

[Stokes1931]

The Giants seem to be leading the league in hits with RISP that do not score runs. There were 2 or 3 yesterday, and one today already.
