Well, we were overdue for a Reed BS. He doesn't get ahead of anyone, and that won't work.

Nice game saving catch there.

Picked a bad time to throw his worst slider of the season. Of course, that's what happens when you walk the 8 and 9 hitters. Reed got away with hanging offspeed pitches to Gordon and Escobar.

As the kids say...

PHEW.

 

Reed likes to get a little too cute out there.

Brutal! Reed was shaky in Texas too

At KC we just suck enough said.

Nice job by ADA to keep this thing alive. Let's get those bats going, boys.

 

Who is left in the pen? Heath, Omo, ...

Should have pounded Butler inside off the plate again...let Dyson beat us before Butler

I'll never understand why he doesn't throw his change-up more.

He knew it as soon as he threw it too. Was jumping around.

If you trade Sale you're saying it's a >5 year project. If done right, it's 2-3 years.

Can you give some examples of successful 2-3 year rebuilds?

And Viciedo was a 3B. What's the difference, they both wound up in LF.

 

You are asking the difference between Viciedo and Bonds . . .

You knew we were in trouble with how he took that 2-2 slider just off the plate.

Sigh...

 

Wild take the lead

I'll never understand why he doesn't throw his change-up more.

Agreed. That's what got AJ out the other night

You're saying the difference between rebuilding and not rebuilding is essentially keping/trading Peavy and Rios.

The Sf Giants

They spent 4 years below .500 and missed the playoffs 6 years in a row for their rebuild.

No you're not...by trading Sale you make it a 2-3 year project, instead of 5 years or more.

This team has gone from crap to decent in one year a few times. I suspect they will try to do that again, even with an aging core.

Dunn chases ball 4

You are asking the difference between Viciedo and Bonds . . .

No, I am pointing out the ridiculousness of your LF argument. If it is so easy to find a good hitter that can play LF, why doesn't every team have one?

I'll never understand why he doesn't throw his change-up more.

Doesn't he only throw it to LH'ers?

They spent 4 years below .500 and missed the playoffs 6 years in a row for their rebuild.

Yeah, but when did they actually begin that rebuild?
