Can we invoke the mercy rule? I'm pretty sure that rule would apply to the Giants down by 3.

Well, that was a 10-pitch 1-2-3 inning. At this rate, Folty will only be able to go 12-13 innings, tops.

I don't know about 12 or 13 after all he has to throw warm up pitches each inning. :D:behindsofa:

How is it, even with Belt's slump, that any of the three outfielders bring more to the plate than Belt? Is Belt hurt or is Bochy getting weird with Belt again? In case Bochy hasn't noticed, Belt is far from the only guy on this team slumping.

Can someone tell me how Pierce Johnson is a big league pitcher while Tyler Rogers is not?

In a rare positive development in September, Steven Okert is working hard to keep his name on the 40 man roster come December.

I see two possibilities...

1) He is hurt

2) He has a piss-poor attitude and Bochy is done with him

While I don’t rule out no. 2, I can’t imagine he will have been tossed to the curb only 1 year after signing his Uber-contract. That leaves no. 1.

If it is 2, Belt needs to take some ownership. He is sneaky good as a 1st baseman but not in the traditional sense, which obviously hurts his standing with Bochy's old school thinking. If it is number 1, why not just shut him down for the year? There is no need to play hurt at this point.

What site is that screencap from? That is an odd format for a website.

And what is this “newspaper” thing you mention?
