And happy to have one of "our own" back in the fold. I just don't see the roster math. And I really hope that Parker and/or Williamson will step up and play well and make him (and Kyle Blanks and Chris Denorfia and Gorkys Hernandez and etc.) superfluous. I mean if the Giants are using any of those guys that means they are really hurting!<br /><br />On the pitching front, ChiSox just DFA'd Mat Latos. He's only 28! Shows you how hard it is to stay on top of this game. He was a 3-4 WAR player not too long ago.<br /><br />And Stephen Johnson, traded by the Giants for Marlon Byrd, was just released. He was once a promising prospect.<br /><br />Yordano Ventura is suddenly trending downward. He was looking like a stalwart in the KC rotation for years to come but has really struggled this season. He's only 25! Success in MLB is fleeting, eh? Makes you appreciate those guys who've stuck around for a decade or more, still contributing, still able to keep their game together even if they aren't stars any more.<br />M.C.

Nice to see Ishikawa back but I'm having a hard time figuring any kind of spot for him, even as a lefty PH, esp. since Parker is around. But maybe he can just be a good luck charm!<br /><br />M.C.

That was an unfortunate play in the 9th, but the wind was blowing and the ball was tailing away so I can see where his relative lack of experience would hurt him. I think he'll be better. Both he and Parker have a chance to show what they can do and that's exciting. Tough team, great pitcher, Giants eke out a win, sweet!<br />M.C.
