I wonder if Harrison is 'ready' yet? Getting lit up so far except for one magnificent game.

Anyone tracked how good pitchers usually start out their rookie year? Obviously a few are like Gooden or Valenzuela or Strasbourg and come out of the gate strong but can we say most of them take time to find their footing? Bumgarner was decent his rookie year I recall.

I could look these up but I'm lazy, how was Lincecum starting out? Or Kershaw or Verlander or whoever?

Only listening on radio, but this doesn’t sound good already.

I think rookie pitchers generally struggle but I haven't researched that to be honest. I do remember Maddux was horrible his 1st 2 or 3 seasons in the big leagues but I'm not sure if that was the exception or the rule with rookie pitchers.

Not a good start at all.

 

[LHG]

The rookies are keeping this inning alive for the Giants. Need Davis to capitalize on it.

 

[LHG]

Aaaannnd he doesn't.

Stokes, what was that stat about the Giants with the bases loaded? It just got worse.

 

[tzill]

Game over.

How much longer before they bring up Fitz, Lucy and Heliot.

The season is done, done, done.

 

[tzill]

I had work to do anyway.

Yup. Now bases loaded 118 times, and scored 67 runs. Not. Good.

A lot of not good stats coming from this team this year.

I was busy with work this AM, so just turned on the game (I actually put it on my TV!).

I want to go back to work…

 

[Stokes1931]

I had really hoped that Davis would live up to his potential this season. Turns out that his potential is a lot lower than I thought it was. I thought he was a .270 hitter with 25-30 HR power and 80-85 RBI with a decent glove at third. He's a kind of local guy, too (Elk Grove).

Yeah. Harry getting schooled and the pathetic Giants' offense rearing its ugly head again. Not a great combo.

I thought he was going to as well. He started the season well (and did well with the Giants last year too). However, he has not looked good at all the past few months. I do wonder if he has become a non-tender candidate.

 

[Stokes1931]

Bummer. Now there are RISP for the Giants. A sure death knell of any rally.

Nothing worse than a runner 180 or 90 feet from home for the Giants. They need to stop doing that.

Saw an article on Joc Pederson’s “conditioning” on knbr. Thought that was an interesting article at the end of the year lol. Fz does some strange things

I don’t think he has fallen THAT far. He has just proven that he isn’t a starter. He is solid bat off the bench and/or Util guy, but he isn’t an everyday player.

Last night 0-8

Today 1-7

It's not as if the Guardian pitchers are anything special...
