He's 5 inning pitcher at this point and should not be counted on for more.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-2941407132282618962014-08-10T23:52:55.366-07:002014-08-10T23:52:55.366-07:00I've been reading that Peavy has been doing th...I've been reading that Peavy has been doing that all season, and that reminded me of Lincecum the past few years. Hopefully Bochy and Righetti can do their mojo and get him back on track, he was still pretty good the past couple of seasons, only he was BABIPed badly on the road, not just Boston, plus way too many homers on the road. The BABIP has followed him to SF, his FIP is a fine 2.92 right now. But if he is having the same problem as Lincecum was having, we need him to right things, it is not just bad luck.<br /><br />And Lincecum, he hasn't been the same since he relieved for us, perhaps it would have been better to let Colvin pitch that inning. Plus Bochy messed up earlier in that game, he used a pitcher for less than an inning, had he stretched that guy for another inning, he probably wouldn't need to go to Lincecum, that has cost us 3 bad starts from Tim, whereas he had a great stretch before that.<br /><br />And the team's offense did have enough to score 3-4 runs, if Pence didn't overslide, that's 3 runs, and if Blanco had beat the throw, that's another run, plus the inning is still alive in either case to try to get more runs. Base running mistakes costed us big time.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-91891349150324234022014-08-09T12:22:31.759-07:002014-08-09T12:22:31.759-07:00Definitely a hard to take loss.

The game seemed to be summed up when Morse made that great stop to start a DP but threw a little off the bag to Duffy who did not get the out at second and then he chucked it past MadBum covering first and that led to two runs. It shouldn't come down to that--bad sequence or not. The team should have enough offense to score 3 or 4 runs, fer chrissakes. Man, they need to start winning some games!<br />M.C.

Like Zo said, he starts well then implodes. This seems fluky and might not mean anything, but it's disappointing. <br />Likewise disappointing is the fact that we are 0-2 since Pagan got back. <br />Oh well, it's a weird season, isn't it?Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.com
