Game Thread: 6/15 Dutch @ Strip(ling)

[SFGRTB]

I am ready for Duggar.

Or Slater.

Or Shaw.

Slater's OPS is over 1.000 again. He's doubled in more than 10% of his plate appearances

Not only did they sign him when they really didn’t need him...

But they signed him to a TWO YEAR DEAL!!!!

And I was saying this at the time. This is not 20/20 hindsight...

Really would have been cool if the Giants used that money to sign a starting pitcher as opposed to a 10th outfielder

Good job by Dutch Boy.

Who profiled exactly like 2 other OFers already in the fold (not positive on the timing of the Blanco signing, but I am ranting, so I will assume the worst).

There's got to be a team out there willing to eat his salary if the Giants throw in a low-level prospect

Why?

 

[SFGRTB]

Why?

Some teams that aren't incredibly cheap might be willing to buy a prospect.

Only reason I suggest it for the Giants is because of the luxury tax situation

2 freakin' hits. Ai yi yi.

 

[calsnowskier]

Another nice job by Dutch Boy.

Good job by Dutch Boy.

But only 5 innings. I's amazing we are around .500 with the crap starting pitching we run out there. I hope there's time to turn it around, be a shame to waste this pen and this lineup

Pence is now 5-22 with his "new" swing, which is beginning to look a lot like his old swing. Good team guy, but the wheels are coming off. Quickly.

Updated for tonight’s game...

Cueto has gone 7 twice and 6 three times (5 starts - 5/5)
Stratton has gone 7 IP 3 times, 6.2 once and 6 two other times (14 starts - 6/14)
Holland went 6.1 once and 6 on 4 other occasions (14 starts - 5/14)
Blach went 7.2 once and went 6 innings 3 other times (12 starts - 4/12)
Suarez went 7 twice and 6 in another game (9 starts - 3/9)
Bumgarner went 6 once (2 starts - 1/2)
Rodriguez went 6.2 once and 6 once (3 starts - 2/3)
Sammy went 6.2 once (8 starts - 1/8)
Beede (2 starts - 0/2)

While tonight’s start was not a QS and it looks bad in this view, I am OK with Holland’s outing. Without the big error, he might have been able to get another inning, and would not have given up the 3rd run.

If by “coming off”, you mean “came off a couple years ago”, I agree 100%

Still love the guy. Right up there with Nuschler as one of my favorite Giants of all time, but Rosanne is singing, brother...

Scrabble looked good today, three innings for Sacramento, one hit, no walks, four K's.

I would guess that everyone will eventually reach that conclusion. He was terrible, they took a shot at a retooling. If it doesn't take, it's Ichiro time.

 

[calsnowskier]

Have the dogs ever said why they play the annoying music? Don’t they get laughed at for it by their own fans as well?

I hope they come to a similar agreement (quiet release followed by a retirement announcement). That was a classy way of doing it. The Giants tend to do the 60-day DL finish, which is better than tossing the guy out with the trash, but still not very dignified.

That's a big reason that I don't go there much.

I have heard that a lot.
