[Official] Giants @ Astros

Lowly? They have a better record than us against a much tougher division.

I don't see them losing every game to the Pirates.

 

Woody Williams......how much are the Astros paying this guy?

When he pitches I feel the chances of winning are about the same level as Tim Redding.

To be fair, Lamb hasn't been bad against lefties this year - he's actually 4 for 7, so it probably was a situation where the benefit of using Loretta there is just not very much. Lamb against a lefty is probably better than anyone on the bench against a righty.

Though Loretta batting where Ensberg hit may have been a better bet given Ensberg's terribleness.

 

Where were you during his last 4 starts? Prior to today, he'd pitched 5 quality starts in 8 total starts, including the last 4 straight.

 

You clearly didn't watch the game today.

 

I agree... don't really have a problem with Lamb. I'm just saying if Garner is desperate to use Ensberg somewhere, it should have been against a lefty pitcher (who's insertion was pretty obvious given Bochy warming up a lefty all inning).

 

This year, $6 MIL.

 

Yeah, the old quality starts stat....where it is ok to give up 4 runs in 7 innings.....

Lower expectations I guess.

5.10 ERA now, Yea, he is doing GREAT.

He pitched well until one inning (Like redding) where the other team figures him out and POUNDS the ball.

1-6 after tonight...and you guys think he is doing ok....

MMMMMMMMMMKKKKKKKAAAAYYYY !

The top of the lineup for the 'Stros is 0-12 tonight. Just imagine if we could have gotten a few runners on for Carlos.

 

Giants are 20-5 at MM park....probably 21-5 after tonight, that is PATHETIC...

The Astros at home this year have been well below par....they need to protect that home turf.

Just went to see the TV and guess what...

 

THUNDER PANTS

 

The kid is special.

 

hunter freakin' pence!!!


******* this kid is fun to watch and he hasn't even begun to bulk up yet.

 

So much for 1-6, eh?

Yeah, I think he's doing exactly what the Astros expected - give them decent starts with a few blowups here and there. Over the course of the season, I expect a mid-to-upper 4's ERA, which is about what is expected of a #3 or #4 starter.
