Don't get too excited we're still in the heart of the Giants order. Like for instance here's their 5 hitter, Connor Gillaspe Edited October 11, 2016 by UMFan83

Arrieta is a little wild but his stuff is electric. The Giants are extremely stupid, so they're swinging at everything

[Brian]

Jake like a cat out there pouncing off the mound

[Thusly Boned]

Now we jest need Jake to maintain his command. If he does, this is over.

[UMFan83]

Jakes like: guys I'll take care of the hitting, pitching and fielding. I got this.

[davell]

Its taking me like 5 seconds to favorite horsefeathers lmao

[muntjack]

This is just glorious.

[BigSlick]

Come on Jake. No walks.

[DurbanJer]

Jake don't need teammates!!! HR, first 2 put outs. LOL

[We Got The Whole 9]

How many batters will it take until the Giants combined batted ball distance surpasses Jake's

[Brian]

this is only the NLDS and the servers are fried

[Cubswin11]

Figure it out, Jake

[USSoccer]

Now would be a poor time to lose command Jake

[Irrelevant Dude]

Please don't walk Gregor Blanco. Just throw the ball over the plate. It's Heyward with even less power.

[Careless]

this is only the NLDS and the servers are fried

Yeah, and Tim's already drunk

[squally1313]

It seems like Montero is stabbing a lot. Ball 4 and then the next pitch both looked like they crossed the plate. Combination of movement and iffy control, I'd assume.

[Brian]

FINISH HIM

[Guancous]

For Fred.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Deep breathe Jack

[UMFan83]

Control is just not there. Ugh

[soccer10k]

Bumgarner threw 119 pitches in the wild card game, he'll be starting on 4 days rest on Monday. Here's Bumgarner the last 3 years coming off 110+ pitches when he has 4 days rest:

 

 

The highlighted piece shows how he does in those starts compared to those seasons on the whole(postseason included). Since the season totals include the games following 110+ pitches on 4 days rest, the gap is a bit larger than that. In other words, when Bumgarner has a high pitch count outing and doesn't get additional rest, you can basically tack on a run to his ERA and that's the pitcher you're facing.

 

Feel like this post is relevant right about now.

Control is just not there. Ugh

[BigSlick]

no more balls, Jake

[bcl412]

Ugh, the control....

[Schwarber Fan]

Sit down Greg.
