What're the collective statistics for the pitching staff when you take Kershaw out of the equation? I don't get how we are preventing runs with so many crappy pitchers. 6 freaking walks lol. "Just missed on those pitches" that's what happens when you're ALMOST a decent pitcher. But not quite.
Copying it over from my post in the Kersh thread: "if you look just at relievers we have the 19th best ERA in the MLB (3.98), and without Kershaw our starters have a 4.23 ERA, which would be 15th. Kershaw brings the starters down to 5th (3.52)."
How quickly things go south. I was all on the FO's nuts before the season started, praising them for the haul of Hatcher, Kike, Heaney (Howie), and Barnes.
Someone make a thread where we each guess which reliever blows it each night. Whoever gets it the most often gets extra kool aid at the mass suicide in October during the Giants parade
5 runs 3 hits 3 hits 3 FUCKING HITS. Kazmir shouldn't have even been in this game. Especially after 120 last game
Yeah, pitching ain't a problem. Give. Me. A. Break. There are exactly two pitchers on this entire staff who've proven over a reasonable sample size that they can consistently get outs. TWO!
You can't have this many oft injured, unproven, recovering, 'good stuff, just has to figure it out', almost good pitchers, some downright awful pitchers, and a handful of position players in a similar situation and expect to win any more than 85 games. Too much has to go right.
