You forget the bats he is throwing at. He will look like the Dan Haren of old today...

75 pitches through 6, I would guess.

And he'll probably hit the go-ahead run.

Wow. Werth can still get down that base path. That was a quick turn.

 

[calsnowskier]

Well, Vogey may not be the answer...

If Jayson Werth would age like a normal human being, you'd be singing a different tune for at least one more half inning.

That pitch to Desmond was AWFUL

 

[calsnowskier]

couldn't even go 4...

tz, you STILL think it is a given that his option will be picked up?

 

[Stokes1931]

Not that it matters in this abortion of a game in an abortion of a season, but Pill HAS to protect the plate and get the run home there.

 

[Stokes1931]

Another 0-fer with RISP. Still waiting to touch bottom, I guess.

 

[Stokes1931]

No hits since the 1st inning. That's OK, we were never going to score enough runs to win. Scored 5 last night which is two or three games worth of runs these says.

This season is like SCUBA diving in Belize...

I do. He's cheap and a good clubhouse fit. Also, they can justify it with the fact that he won't be pitching in the WBC next year.

 

[tzill]

BELTED!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Belt is either literally on fire, or he has truly figured this little game out.

If he has actually figured this thing out, we are looking good for next year.

 

[Heathbar012]

BELTED!!

For the slight steps back that the Brandons have taken this season, they have each taken one giant leap forward. This bodes well for next season.

Ultimately, I believe it will be picked up as well. 6M, in todays game, is a decent mid-reliever.

But he has been absolutely putrid in 90% of his games this year. The game he got hurt was super-solid, and his last game was acceptable. That's it.

If he does not have at least 50% of his remaining games fall at least into the "acceptable category, I would not be surprised at all to see the option declined.

He is going to have to pitch good the rest of the season to justify his option getting picked up in my opinion. Otherwise the Giants should just let him walk and give that money to Gaudin.
