Vogie nails it with his post-game quote. Giving up one three-run bomb in a game will normally get you killed, he gave up two and that was too much to overcome.
from Yahoo Sports:
Diamondbacks edge Giants 7-6 behind HRs from Peralta, Lamb - Yahoo Sports:
"It's just hard because basically I wasted a good offensive night from our team,'' Vogelsong said. ''Any time we can go out and score six runs we should get a win. Those guys deserve a win for that.'''via Blog this'
It's only the second game of the season (small sample size alert) so no time to panic yet, but the script for the Giants has been to hold other teams offense down with superior pitching, defense and bullpen and allow a somewhat pedestrian offense to score four or more runs. I don't have the exact numbers, but the Giants have won somewhere on the order of 75% of their games where they scored four or more runs in the past. So far this season the ledger stands at 1-1.
The concern is you previously felt more confident in the pitching staffs ability to hold teams under 4 runs consistently and fretted about the offenses ability to clear the magic number 4. Now the script seems to have flipped.
I know it's early but, being a Giants fan, I have become somewhat of a natural born fretter.
