FYWW had to get a lot of outs, when no one had any faith in them

The corner has been turned?

Honestly there's no way to know yet. Still kind of a show me situation....

 

[msgkings322]

Holy smokes, all 3 wild card contenders now at 80-71...11 games to sort it out.

At least we're relevant...

This team is playing winning baseball innings 1-8 lately. Nice to see us finish off the 9th tonight.

I actually have faith in all of them, amazingly. Until the 9th. They've been great outside of that inning. Will Smith has been effing fantastic.

Gotta give props, the Nunez and Moore and even Smith deals were excellent, especially the first two. And none of them rentals. FO gets credit for that, I don't think this second half collapse in on them at all

Nope. Can't blame those 3 at all, they've shown up to play. It's the 5 blown saves THIS MONTH. Even if we converted 3 of the 5 (a poor save %), we'd be in the division race.

And our hitting has been atrocious. No situational hitting at all. Pre-ASB, we were scoring a lot of runs with two outs. That has almost disappeared post-ASB.

Good to see a win tonight! Gotta feel good for the bully.

Though the loss of Craw and Cueto might huge, if those injuries linger.

Agreed but I meant you can't blame the front office itself, not just those 3. The FO has done their part. It's the bats and bullpen. And the story ain't over yet...

I think you may be overstating how good these deals were. Consider the numbers have have posted since the trade:

Matt Moore - 9 starts, 1.39 WHIP, 4.01 ERA, 1.79 K/BB ratio
Will Smith - 22 games, 1.33 WHIP, 3.60 ERA, 2.75 K/BB ratio
Eduardo Nunez - .276/.335/.442

This month has been a mixed bag among the three of them (mainly good, except for Moore):
Moore - 1.909 WHIP, 6.14 ERA in 3 starts
Smith - 0.938 WHIP, 0.00 ERA in 9 games
Nunez - .344/.379/.492

I think Nunez is the closest to being able to say that he was an excellent pickup. Smith is definitely trending that way with a great September. Moore is probably closer to a disappointment thus far.

But we didn't give up much for any of them. Agree to disagree, I like all 3 deals

Hell, if they had just converted the save Monday night, the doyers would still be looking for their first run this series.

On the 7th, after another SC blsv, Stokes posted this:
From Pavlovic:

Bruce Bochy was so angry after a walk-off loss that he could barely get through his first couple answers to reporters. (Good! He SHOULD be angry!)

The blown save was the 25th for the Giants, ten more than they had all of last season.


At the time the Gs were due for about 4 more, and we are at 29, so there should be no more blsv's from here on out.
