Joey I gotta hand it to ya. You are the best RF in MLB but you can't hit a mountain with a scatter gun.

Willie McCovey vs. Andy Pettitte. I like my chances.
Ok I will bite Richie Sexson vs Don Gullett. Both underrated bit Don G morso. Not looking optimistic

I hope Gibson is not going to pull a Mike Minor and have an awful July and torpedo his trade value.

He's working on it tonight but to be honest the way the offense is playing he never had a chance anyway.

I am not concerned with him getting a win though. I just want him to pitch well. We really need to hang onto him long enough to prove this outing is a fluke, I would think. But, then if he has another bad outing, it could be much worse as far as his trade value goes.

It is like his trade value might only be 85-90% of what it was when July started. Now, do we hang onto him and hope it goes back up, if his next outing is very good again, while also taking a chance that it falls further?

It is just a really hard call. If he gets back on his game, he should be OK but another bad game and we will have to depend on Gallo bringing home some bacon.

Bad decision to send Gibson back out in the 6th after he had already struggled. Woodward kept him in too long in his last start too.

I wonder how much worse the score would be if not for Joey's arm.

Well, I never expected the season to go this bad, but frankly, if it helps us get another top quality draft pick, I guess we are better off.
