WHAT'S THE GIANTS PROBLEM??
ZITO WHEN ASKED HOW MANY FANS IN THE STANDS HE THOUGHT COULD THROW HARDER THAN HIM - AFTER EXCLUDING ALL THE MALE FANS
Starting Pitchers:
Lincecum........7-1
Sanchez.........7-4
Cain............4-5
Zito............3-11
Correia.........1-5
Misch...........0-3
So, that's 18-10 (.643 record or 104 win per season pace) when the first three guys are pitching. But, 4-19 when the other two slots trot out to the bump.
Theoretically, with two guys who could just pitch .500 or 11-12, and the Giants record could be 29-22 instead of 22-29. The bullpen is 12-15, figure them for .500 record in their decisions, with a better 4-5 combo.
So you could go from 29-22 starter plus 13-14 relievers = 42-36 record.
Instead of 22-29 plus 12-15 = 34-44 record, an 8 game swing.
Arizona leads the division at 40-39 as we speak.
I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying.
Two guys at the bottom of your rotation have to improve from horse-shit to average MLB quality. That's the difference between contention and also ran status. AMAZING!!
