    KID: "Wait, from that great 2016 Dodger team that won the World Series?!!!"
    SEGEDIN: "That's right!"

    Damn, that quote has to be the understatement of the year. Sounds like something someone should have said in May. We should be well beyond Rookie of the Year talk - Seager is making a legitimate run at MVP. Trevor Story has been a decent player (even with inflated Colorado stats), but mentioning his name in the same breath as Seager is an insult at this point.

    we're not concerned either

    Bumgarner not concerned over struggles against Dodgers
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 24 minutes ago

    [​IMG]

    The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants entered their three-game series trending in drastically opposite directions. While the dodgers have managed to withstand the loss of Clayton Kershaw, the Giants are in a tailspin since the all-star break.

    However, San Francisco’s injury woes aren’t nearly to the same level as the Dodgers. That, plus an off-day, afforded the Giants the luxury of aligning their starting rotation for the key series.

    But starting Madison Bumgarner did them little favors. The Dodgers jumped out to a lead in the first inning, and added to it in the second.

    San Francisco tied the game in the third, but Los Angeles responded with another run in the bottom half of the inning to regain the lead.

    Bumgarner finished with seven strikeouts, but allowed five runs on nine hits in just five innings pitched and suffered the loss. “I didn’t feel like I threw terribly bad,” he said.

    “But it seemed like every time I did miss, they put the bat on the ball and found a hole.” Bumgarner dropped to 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in three starts against the Dodgers this season.

    Though, he did allow just one run at Dodger Stadium over six innings, only to take a tough-luck loss. The 2014 World Series MVP isn’t putting much stock into his troubles against the Dodgers. “I think I would tend to think that’s a random three-game stretch right now,” he said.

    “If that continues, maybe there is something. I think it’s just worked out that way for whatever reason.” Including two starts last September, Bumgarner is 0-4 with a 4.71 ERA the past five times he’s faced the Dodgers.

    Excluding the current three-game set, there are two regular-season series remaining between the Dodgers and Giants. That presumably will translate to another pair of starts for Bumgarner to attempt extracting revenge on the club that’s been his Achilles’ heel.​

    Irish, I have to say that your stockpile of homoerotic images is impressive....and disturbing at the same time.

    from a giants blogger prior to last night's game
    pretty funny actually :giggle:

    Maeda is going on Tuesday night. Imagine if the Giants had Jeff Samardzija, except he was good and was only given a lot of money if he stayed good, and they were going to guarantee him $3 million a season for eight seasons instead of $18 million for five. Then you’d have Maeda.

    Cueto is suffering from a tired arm. I think he may have just over-pitched, if that is a word, and now he's suffering. If you look at where he starts to fail, it's in the 5th inning or so.

    So the Dodgers should have some plate discipline, work the count, fight off pitches, and just push up his pitch count.

    Then don't miss the hanging curves and fastballs up. Don't bite on the low pitches.
