I have no doubt that he can get it together. We got a gift from the Rox, but couldn't get a win to use it.Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-42028222880089696602012-08-07T16:02:23.644-07:002012-08-07T16:02:23.644-07:00So far no other bloggers have picked up on my &quo...So far no other bloggers have picked up on my "seasonal innings" notion, and I've no doubt that when they finally do MLB will dump the 162-game schedule! In the meantime it will be our very own RMC-thang.<br /><br />No doubt Matty will find his groove again, just like Timmy.M.C.

I was not aware of just how consistent we really are until I saw those numbers. I sure love those 12 win "innings".<br /><br />I guess we do need another righty to get through the month. Hensley hasn't been as good as I hoped but maybe he will finish well. Of course, if the starters can rip off a few quality starts in a row, we won't have to worry as much.<br /><br />BTW I'm not worried about Matt. He'll be there at the end.JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-91966156363467433862012-08-07T10:28:10.147-07:002012-08-07T10:28:10.147-07:00Everything I gather about Oswalt is that he doesn&...Everything I gather about Oswalt is that he doesn't like relieving.M.C.

If people are going to run up the pitch counts of our starters (always a good strategy), then we need some guys to come in & pitch to more than a couple of batters. Mijares may be great, but we need a right-handed one to two innings guy. Right now, we have a bunch of one to two batter guys, many of whom are either physically broken down or going through some difficulties or both. Roy Oswalt seems all pissed off right now ... let's get him.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-46721362424965132122012-08-07T07:44:45.525-07:002012-08-07T07:44:45.525-07:00These are some of my favorite RMC posts.

Without Casilla imploding they would have had another 12-6 and ended even. The Giants have been very consistent this year, just no big winning streaks - they just capped their best winning streak with their worse losing streak. C'est la guerre. I think the pitching and defense has been the weak spot for the most part, the offense has shown up enough. <br /><br />That league adjusting sounds right. Pitchers need to buck up. Hope this LOOGY we snuck through waivers has his work cut out. Don't the rest of bezball know those guys cost 5MM? Pretty good coup for Sabey Sabes if he can hack the national league.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-23895764358815088572012-08-07T07:18:33.890-07:002012-08-07T07:18:33.890-07:00Yeah, I really think he's just gotten more att...Yeah, I really think he's just gotten more attention by advance scouts, hitting coaches, etc. Guys are coming into games with a plan against him. We saw this with Tim--the league adjusted to what he was throwing and he had to adjust to that. Matt will have to do the same thing. Maybe he and Buster have gotten too predictable in their sequences.M.C.

They do that to Timmy too. Time to grit up, and pitch like the Cain of the first half of the season.nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.com
