  1. Seriously though give me a reason I can’t pin this on Hickey? I mean the pitchers have to pitch but how do you explain a bunch of starters with solid to great track records all the sudden collectively performing poorly, unable to go more than 5 innings even when they are getting decent results? I guess you could say that the bullpen is collectively pitching well (outside on Duensing) so maybe he’s having an effect there but overall a good starting rotation on paper is collectively pitching like the worst staff in the league.
  2. Yeah when they don’t have a complete dumpster fire rotation
  3. Good point. The Cubs needed him to grind out an extra inning because we couldn’t afford another 5-6 inning start and now it could be biting us on the other end. It’s a never ending cycle
  4. I for one am shocked Derwood didn’t read the last couple of posts before posting something
  5. I miss the performance of Chris Bosio pitching staffs not necessarily the old racist himself
  6. Starting Pitching ERA in July - 5.45
  7. Crap and this is supposed to be our good starter.
  8. Didn’t I see somewhere that the giants have only lost 1 home series all year or something? That is in jeopardy this weekend
  9. Last 6 starts: Montgomery - 5.80 ERA Chatwood - 6.75 ERA I mean Monty has better era but they both have sucked Montgomery has been hit hard, but every non-elite guy has stretches like this over the course of the year. He's not walking a ton of guys and he doesn't have a HR problem, so I tend to view it as just a slump. He was fortunate when he was a 1 something ERA during his first month in the rotation, and he's been unfortunate lately. Baseball. Yeah maybe but those 6 starts constitute 60% of his starts this year
  10. Nah, our FO is smarter than that. This is a "horsefeathers happens" kind of night, where whereas Chatwood is just straight up broken. Last 6 starts: Montgomery - 5.80 ERA Chatwood - 6.75 ERA I mean Monty has better era but they both have sucked Just for fun, more last 6 start ERAs: Hendricks - 5.00 Lester - 5.87 Quintana - 3.05 Yay go Quintana, only one that hasn’t completely sucked over the last month
  11. Holy horsefeathers did Rizzo take running lessons from Almora? What a shitty ass night
  12. Nah, our FO is smarter than that. This is a "horsefeathers happens" kind of night, where whereas Chatwood is just straight up broken. Last 6 starts: Montgomery - 5.80 ERA Chatwood - 6.75 ERA I mean Monty has better era but they both have sucked
  13. I’m so sick of getting horsefeathers starting pitching night after night after night
  14. Holy hell Monty is a horsefeathering pitching machine tonight
  15. im sure adjusting your mechanics to avoid having pain when throwing is normal....right??
  16. Lester - Normal Outing Hendricks - Montgomery Quintana - Chavez Hamels - Rizzo Darvish - Chatwalk
  17. Damn you'd think that they'd want to give him one last rotation shot before dealing him, but I guess the FO is sick of pitchers who walk everyone and Butler is a poor man's Chatwood.
  18. He has a team option after this year right? Not that they will pick it up or anything even if he turns into an ace down the stretch and wins the world series.
  19. Brant Brown. Mike Fontenot although it was probably more than 50 PAs before he had his great run in 08
