Strickland showing that he's just not closer material right now. He may never be.

 

[SFGRTB]

Just realized how crazy this is: The Giants brought in 4 consecutive relievers with ERAs under 2.

(unfortunately they gave up 2 runs)

And deuces are wild (in my best Vin Scully voice).....

Sarcasm?

He's been excellent all season. I think he could be the closer now.

Not sarcasm, just fact. He gave up a big home run in the painful loss to Atlanta two weeks ago.

He pitches well when it doesn't matter as much.

 

[SFGRTB]

Well, Bumgarner can hit a fastball

 

[calsnowskier]

That first swing was pitiful

Not a good AB by Bum.

Granted, it was against their closer, but if you want to be looked at as a hitter, and not just a hitting pitcher, you gotta do better than that.

I have to wait until you guys step in it before I do. Do you have any investment advice? I will do the opposite.

You're not even doing it right. My posts that are bothering you so are actually sarcastic heckles of tzill's negativity. So if you're gonna show up just to rag us you gotta come correct.

Lol, Bumgarner is becoming Nick Lowery.....a legend.....a myth, a spook story that baseball fanstell their kids at night.....rat on your pops.....and MadBum will get you.

Damn.....you don't grade on a curve, teacher?

 

[filosofy29]

No idea why this was a movie quote night for me.

Not for a PH with the game on the line.

That AB was horrid. He is not a pitcher in that situation, so he can't go up there just trying to have fun.

Ah, but you missed the subtlety of my knowing that your posts were indeed sarcasm. Anyone reading either of our posts would know that for sure.

That loss hurt. Gotta tip your hat to the damn Redbirds.

Positive spin is that Cain pitched well.

 

[calsnowskier]

Well, the dogs lost and the chubs are losing.

We took one in the series, which was my break-even expectation, so overall, a good series.

Not to mention the unexpected nice Cain outing

Bottom line, we need some help on the bench.

Agreed, but that is what you get with Bum as a PH. All or nothing. Better Bum than Hacktor.

More an indictment on Bochy or our Bench than MadBum though, right?
