LOL the fuck are you talking about?

Maybe too little too late, but Giants making a game of it late.

Nope. Too little. Too late.

Nope. Too little. Too late.

Hard not to hit a few homers in that place...making Snell's gem even more impressive

A smooth .156 BA

Unacceptable.

Kyle Harrison threw six fastballs all season that registered under 90mph. He threw seven sub-90mph in this game.

Maybe he's hit the wall?

If he needs an IL stint, who replaces him? Hicks? Black? Whisenhunt? Seymour? Bullpen games( oh wait, I said that with Hicks)

What does 'unacceptable' mean here? Is it just your way of saying 'bad game'? Yeah, obviously. So you don't 'accept' it? I mean, ok...now what?

He was our ace for a little in the beginning but now ;(

If you paid attention he was a reliever they wanted to stretch into a starter. He was very effective until he hit a wall once he pitched more innings than he was used to. Now he's back in the pen. He can be a starter for longer next year if one of Harrison or Birdsong aren't up to snuff. And injuries happen so having him as a spot starter is good too. He's a good pitcher.

I paid attention, you need to pay attention. I stated a fact, he was very good now he sucks. We all knew with at he was a starter, but he surprised us as a starter, but then he collapsed. We have to wait for him to prove himself in the pen before he gets a chance again as a starter.

No he doesn't "suck" now you are using words wrong. Watch him pitch, he still has that same velocity and sinker ball. He looked good today 2 clean innings, he doesn't "suck".

lol!!

Hey, I reverse jinxed him myself…

Possible. But this year is a bust. If the docs suggest he can’t hurt himself by continuing, I say send him out there. He needs to build up the strength. Who cares about his numbers (this year).

I seriously doubt we see Whisenhunt this year. No reason to burn a year on him already.

Cobb?

 

[calsnowskier]

Cobb?

What would you give Cleveland to get him?

Unacceptable for a playoff team.

Agreed. He met and exceeded expectations this year. He should be able to make more starts next year. They have a plan with him and it seems to be working.

Agreed. He hit the wall, which was expected. He'll be fine. He might just make 30 starts next year.

Good point. If it's just loss of strength that's cool. Run him out there and let him learn how to pitch without full strength.
