Another city, another ballpark, another series, another wretched game. The Giants rolled into ATL and did a faceplant in the dirt of the new ballpark, losing by a forfeit score. Key Lines:
Johnny Cueto RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K, GO/AO= 10/0. ERA= 4.42. Cueto showed up to pitch but the Giants gave him no run support that the bullpen blew a close game wide open. If Cueto didn't want out before tonight, I bet he does now! If he does, he'll try his darndest to put a few more of these together to generate some interest from a contending team at the trade deadline.
Derek Law RHP- 0.0 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 0 K. ERA= 5.40. Law has hit a wall. After posting a 2.91 ERA in April and a 3.27 in May, he's ballooned to 13.50 in June. He has allowed 8 ER in just 2 IP, over his last 3 appearances. Might be time to start asking questions about how his arm feels.

I can't believe it. If you would have told me back in spring training that the Giants were going to be 20 games under .500 by June 19th I would have thought you were crazy.
ReplyDeleteLaw's performance was worse than his line: with two outs he allowed both of Osich's runners to score. Something must be wrong there. Not a good outlook for a guy with 1 TJ behind him.
ReplyDeleteOsich walked the first batter then got 3 ground balls sandwiched around an intentional walk to Kemp. Maybe he deserved better.
Maybe Melancon deserved better the day before: after getting the first out, he was 1-2, 2-2, and 0-2 on the next 3 batters before the 1st pitch HR which surprised no one at that point, no matter that we all were shaking our heads.
Crick up; Law down!
