I thought if we limped through to the roster expansion we'd be OK, but now I'm really worried.<br /><br />This team is bi-polar: score 38 runs in a 3 game series, then score 13 in the next 4 games. Play good D all year, then cough blood in the field by the bucketful when it counts. Hit like shit in May and June, lead the league in July. Pitch lights-out in the spring, fade to crap in August.<br /><br />Which team is the real Giants? The 20-8 July squad that could do no wrong or the deeply flawed August club that looks like it is going to tank?<br /><br />Help!M.C.

That might change, but he has already exceeded the number of innings he has ever pitched in a year. Is there a plan to replace him if he proves to be out of gas? Do we have a pitcher we can rely on for spot or one month of starts? We lose tonight and have to face Jimenez tomorrow with a one game difference between ourselves and the Crockies. I'm not comfortable with that.Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-40900262663581793552010-08-31T10:06:46.166-07:002010-08-31T10:06:46.166-07:00I can't take it anymore.

Not sure I buy it, though. It seems as though an eye exam might be in order for Mr. Ross. Also, if he is not used to ATT's right field, and known as a sub-par fielder, should he have been in right in the ninth inning of a 1-0 game? It is not as though he was contributing a lot at the plate. We have, unfortunately, wasted six losses in a row by the Padres and are very close to finding ourselves tied for second with Colorado. I break down last night's L this way: 80% Ross, 15% Bochy, 5% Wilson. Too bad the scoring system doesn't allow this.Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-78032939929188814542010-08-31T07:13:41.930-07:002010-08-31T07:13:41.930-07:00This is 2 atrocious losses on the same homestand: ...This is 2 atrocious losses on the same homestand: the great comeback, followed by an error-driven collapse against Cincinnati & now this one - another one fueled by horrid defense. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about losing that game to the Reds. It reeked of weakness - you make that come back, you win - period. Then, this ghastly thing last night. Forget the blowout losses over the weekend - the Reds loss & last night are much more predictive. Nothing less than an immediate 10-game winning streak will turn this around now.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455675383175604095noreply@blogger.com
