Looks like Stratton has a 12 scoreless inning streak going...

Let's see how Cain looks coming out of the pen.

We might get that home shutout after all...

You think so, Colin?

No Colin tonight, although I do miss that guy.

You think so, Colin?

Maybe we need more phlap calls.

Maybe he is the anti-Colin.

Giants baseball like the old days (2010), great pitching, a couple runs, FYWW. Takes me back.

Great game.

So, um, who is the closer??????

Nice problem to have I guess.

Our low estimation of how Stratton would do in the bigs may have been a wee bit premature. Then again, our judgement after two stellar starts may be premature as well.

Pretty well. He may have a future in the bullpen. His days as a starter are over.

It is not Strick!

He still hasn't thrown a no-no.

Now if he throws a no-no, you KNOW he will be a long-term stud.

Right?

In 27 innings for the Gs Dyson has allowed 6 ER, 4 in Jun, 2 in Jul, and 0 in Aug. Boy a change of scenery did him wonders! In 24 innings for Tx he allowed 24 ER.

If history serves as a predictor, we should get one good full season from him.

A Melancon/Dyson/Smith back end is an elite bully. I just hope having 2 legit AS-level closers won't cause problems when they are both available for a prolonged time.
