Game Thread: 8/18 Game 124 - Mad Bum @ Almost Giant

[SFGRTB]

Now the .167 hitter hits a homer. Jesus

 

[LHG]

This offense sucks. And, tonight, so does Bumgarner.

It was about this time 8 years ago against the Reds.....

 

[LHG]

I see that Strickland picked up where he left off . . .

Bases loaded and no outs and we get a run on a busted GIDP. At least it is something. Punchless team. You'd think after taking two from the Dogs that they would be playing for something, but these last games have been underwhelming and disappointing.

Sell.

I understand Belt has been scraping since coming off the dl but is it really a good move to pinch hit with Slater? The whole team is scraping and I'd rather have Belt up there than Slater with the bases loaded.

That little fracas in LA with Puig really bonded the team together. And after a day off, and playing one of the worst teams in the NL, score exactly 2 runs in 2 games and lost both.

Way to inspire the team to new heights/depths of greatness/sukkitude.

Yeah, especially against a righty, (unless there was another pitching change), this was puzzling.

A couple of Bum's stats stand out. His k/bb ratio is at 2.15, vs a career 4.14, and 5 of the previous 7 yrs were in the 4-5-6 range. Most of that differentiation comes with the 3.57 bb/9 vs career at 2.12, That's a huge increase.

He's no longer a predominantly ground out pitcher. As of 2015 he is less than 1 in go/ao.

In whip he is at a virtual career high at 1.30.

His strike % is at a career low at 63.7, and his pitches/inn is at a career high at 16.1.

We all know he's not the same pitcher he once was so I got curious and looked at the stats.

Oh his run support is at 2.63 vs a career 4.42, to no ones surprise.

It's looking more and more obvious that we cannot re-sign this guy

It's looking more and more obvious that we cannot re-sign this guy

And yet, he will get a big contract.

The Giants Way.

 

[Stokes1931]

It's looking more and more obvious that we SHOULD NOT re-sign this guy

FIFY

The times might be a-changin, the Giants Way hasn't worked in years. Sometimes things do change. I don't think it's 100% we sign him

It was about this time 8 years ago against the Reds.....

...that the Gs scored 38 in three games? And Cain threw 125 in 8?

Here is the graph of margins of victory for Sep of that year. It's amazing, really. What a month.



Timmeh was 0-5 w/7.82 in aug, and 5-1 w/1.94 in sep. Holy smokes.
