So despite Stripling pitching a really strong 6, and Hatcher giving it away like a school girl on prom night, Hatcher gets the W. Baseball, ladies and gents.
Really good game actually...with the right result. Overall as a series, nice to see Agon, Corey and Turner, and Howie with the contributions...signs of waking up nicely. Same result for poor Stripman, though. Pitches his ass off, gets zero for it. Does that POS Hatcher get the win? Or Baez?
True. What I find interesting and quite disturbing is that Hatcher has 6 decisions already which means he's been in too many high leverage situations for my liking and I'm sure for 99% of this board.
semantics he gave up runs and the lead to toronto stripling deserved a w but the offense didn't come around early enough
Giants lose. We are technically in 1st by percentage points. But we play the Mets next without our best SP lineup. Gnats play Toronto. It will be an interesting next few days.
Baez got it done this time. That was noteworthy. Hatcher on the other hand... He's a huge hole in the bp, since he is "supposed" to fit in late in the bp use. Tough for Roberts to make that call when he has to. He could kill us all year if he doesn't turn it around. I think he will have to relinquish his bridge to Kenley spot, at least until he straightens it out, if he can at all. I guess that was what we were looking at today, in some form. I guess he has a very long leash.
