I'm not overly worried about replacing him (maybe Chris Heston?), but he will be missed. <br /><br />Andy, No longer in San DiegoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-26061460658527497652015-12-11T14:09:37.764-08:002015-12-11T14:09:37.764-08:00Thanks DrB!

Particularly reclaiming the consecutive batter record, which Jim Barr had held for a long while before someone passed him, a Dodger I believe. He did incredible stuff for us, but as Evans said, it hurts to move on, but sometimes you need to.<br /><br />Thanks to Yusmeiro Petit, hope he does well except against the Giants (or when what he does helps his team get ahead of the Giants). obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-49168665272625757372015-12-11T09:53:28.039-08:002015-12-11T09:53:28.039-08:00Petit resurrected his career as a Giant and thank ...Petit resurrected his career as a Giant and thank god he did he will be missed.johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099994633599576200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-27368359768686896052015-12-11T06:13:43.592-08:002015-12-11T06:13:43.592-08:00My brother and I were at the game in 2012.

I recall following Petit in AAA but had no idea he would play a critical role in winning another championship. I was also watching on tv as Petit came within one out of his perfect game. The Dbacks sent up Eric Chavez and after reaching a full count, it was obvious that Petit was not going to give in and pitch around Chavez. He threw something Chavez could hit, which he did. I also watched on tv as Petit set the scoreless inning streak. If my memory serves, after setting the record didn't he give up a hit to the very next batter, who was the pitcher? If he hadn't come through in the playoff game against the Nats, a performance that Krukow calls six consecutive bottom of the 9ths, we might not have gone on to win the Championship. Petit was a good Giant and he will be missed. APGiantsfanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
