Let’s all pray this is his last start.

I am hoping this is NOT his last start. I am hoping he pitches 7 innings of 1-run ball.

But you root how you want to root...

To quote someone way smarter than I:

Who cares? It doesn't matter.

If we were contending, I'd care about w/l. As it is, I just want to get on with rebuilding the rotation.

Nonetheless, it looks like Poop is going to keep his spot. On pace for five and dive.

He is 85.7% there. Nice call, Cal!

I will take it, but it wasn’t a prediction. It was a rooting interest.

If he does well, it is better for the Giants. If he has value, than maybe another team will want said value.

Moronta has regressed from last year. He just cannot seem to pitch a clean inning. More often than not, he walks the first hitter.

It matters because if he does well the Giants could possibly flip him

 

[SFGRTB]

Hard to get a triple in this park, but I thought off the bat that Longo had a shot. Just hit the ball a bit too high

 

[SFGRTB]

999th win for Boch as a Giant. Pretty cool

Outstanding game for Shark. 6 IP, 3 H, 6K, 0 BB

He looks like our best starter so far, maybe Bumgarner is close.

 

[Stokes1931]

Worst run differential in baseball. (updated 6/2)

Baltimore -121

Detroit -95

Miami -80

Giants -76

We're going the wrong way!

If this series has taught me anything, its that the Giants may not be able to run with the big dogs in this pennant race. That may change come August 1st.

1. He's not going to "do well"
2. His starts could go to someone (Sewage, Bleeech, etc.) who might be a piece of the future.

You really think Blach is a worthy piece of the future? He is a #4 to swingman on a moderate to competing team at best. He is not a needle mover by any stretch of the imagination. He is a dime-a-dozen type player.

Suarez MAY be serviceable, but also is almost certainly not a needle mover.

I would rather try to get something for Sammy than cut bait on him to showcase a couple snooze-fest tossers.

I think it's doubtful that Bleech is a future piece. I am convinced Poopturd is not.

He's been doing better than any of our starters so far. Only Bumgarner is close. I'm aware that's not a high bar but he needs to keep pitching so we can trade him.
