Chargers beat the Redskins 24-8 though.

FYWW! Another outstanding performance from the pen, the bats doing their thing (home run leaders!), decent start for Webb. BRIB continues...

Shittell, Brebbia, and Leone were not “outstanding.” As a whole, the bully had a WHIP of 1.5. Again, not outstanding.

They got it done. You take it and move on.

You all will be happy to know that when I criticized Webb’s fourth inning on twitter last night “he’s crapping all over the mound, etc. etc.” He later liked my tweet.

Dude is a STUD. He replaces Susac as my favorite Giant ever.

Did you tell him that you wear depends whenever he starts, in case you crap your pants from his outing?

No, because I have pampers ready for all games.

Then you could have told him that its nothing personal, you do that for every starter. And then you could have gone on a rant about the bullpen.

This from mlb.com:

The Giants have the best record in baseball, but the bullpen has been a recurring issue. It’s largely made up of a rotating cast of dynamic young pitchers, and while they’ve performed well of late, there’s an element of chaos that comes with a young bullpen. Overall, the Giants have the fourth-most blown saves in the NL and a 56 percent strand rate, tied with the Phillies for the second-worst in baseball. San Francisco's top two relievers could use some help. Veteran lefty Jake McGee still gives up plenty of hard contact, and it’s tough to be virtually a one-pitch pitcher, even if it’s just for an inning. Then there's submariner Tyler Rogers, who has a sub-2 ERA, but is on pace for about 76 appearances -- and that’s before you account for how the postseason treats elite relievers.

Pretty much what I’ve been saying. The bullpen ain’t outstanding.

It's good. Good enough to win a ring, and that's before FZ makes more moves. The bad pen that generated those blown saves is gone.

I do think we need a better closer than McGee, he and Rogers are perfect as 7th and 8th inning guys.

Exactly. I love the fact that he can take shit from a goofball fan like me. Dude is humble. Love that.
