Sac fly. That's how to move runners. 3-0 M's.

CQ still has a lot to learn about hitting IMO.

 

I am not just saying this cause Gavin is getting lit up.

But he's 11-10.

Why do we all assume our rotation is going to be unstoppable next year.

Gavin is not Tom Seaver. Danks is not Sandy Koufax.

They are good, but why are we assuming next year will be balls out excellence??

 

TCQ needs to be healthy. You can tell his drive in the box isn't quite right.

They started out super slow this year. Danks, IMO, took a step back this year. I expected Danks to be something like 17-9 or something, but I guess I expected a lot. If Peavy stays healthy, Floyd starts out fast, and Danks gets consistent, they'll have a damn good staff next year. Problem is, that's a lot of "ifs".

I agree the staff looks good, but I just sense a lot of people are assuming it's going to be amazing.

Even Mark sucked for an extended period after the perfect game.

Gavin's pitches are definitely screaming "hit me" tonight and he's only 11-10.

I remember during the spring people expected Gavin to regress. He hasn't been bad at all. Not good on the road but he's still young and hopefully that will come. He seems to go deeper into games than Danks does.

The sad thing is that Danks numbers are the best on the team this year.

Wow Dye and Rios both 1/1 .

Rios strokes a single. Will he steal with us down, 3-0?

Doubtful.

That was dumb.

3 hits the last 2 innings . 1 DP , 1 caught stealing. Can we just play the game without wasting hits especially from Dye and Rios.

We're going to be out of this game soon if Gavin doesn't settle down.

Wow Dye and Rios both 1/1 .

 

We probably won't see a post like this again for this season, or possibly even next with JD heading out the door.

Runs this inning . If Dye and Rios can get hits runs are not far behind.

The defense needs to really improve.

WTF IS CARRASCO DOING IN THE GAME???

Is gavin hurt?

That is what I am wondering. Floyd doesn't come out of a game like this for no reason.

This is getting ugly fast....

Hip problems.

Wow. Hip problems. He definitely had nothing on the ball. Now we know why.

Great. Injuries to starting pitching is a great way to end the year...

I'm really encouraged by Freddy this season. He should be a solid No. 5 next year if he doesn't get fat in the offseason.

Hope Gavin's hip heals. If not, it's Torres time. Yuk.

Hip problems.

that flared up a few weeks ago, too

Gameday says Gavin Floyd left due to an injured foot/ankle.
