Fun with statistics...


Stats are fun. Especially stats that are from a small sample size (SSS). Seriously....

Hunter Strickland4010111054.1544418.311.38.294


  • How did Bumgarner lose? Can we just pitch him every game? 
  • Seems like about half our runs are given up by guys named Machi and Strickland. 
  • Strickland makes things happen. Four appearances, a Win, a Save, a Hold and a blown save.
  • .....and a whole lot of fireworks. Four action packed innings. 
  • On Hunter Strickland bobble-head doll night, his head wouldn't move an inch. 
  • .....and he'd be jacked, locked and loaded like Rambo.
  • .....and shit nearby would just get blowed up. 
  • Petit is pretty good too. Kind of amazing he's getting a bit of the Lincecum treatment. 
  • BTW anybody seen Lincecum? He's still on the team right? 
  • Bullpen is kind of feast or famine - Affeldt, Lopez, Casilla, Petit pretty much lights out.
  • Romo, Machi, Strickland pretty much getting lit up. 
  • Seriously, can't we just pitch pitch Bumgarner every game. Pretty sure Cy Young did it and I bet Bumgarner could kick Cy Young's ass, although it sounds like they'd get along just fine.
