JACKSONVILLE - At least there is finally an admission from Giants players that they have been letting MadBum down as far as run support goes. That has been an observation of mine for quite some time, maybe a year or longer. Part of it is he is often matched up against the other teams ace, the other part...IDK.
It does go to show that a pitcher's W-L record is one of the more useless stats as far as determining value or worth to a team. Bum just keeps stacking one quality start after another and more often than not lately, the result is either a no-decision or worse, a loss.
At least this one fell into the Win column of the team and that's all that matters.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The only thing that would have made Brandon Crawford feel better about his game-ending homer was if it had come early enough to reward Madison Bumgarner with a win.
Crawford homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth after Bumgarner threw seven scoreless innings, giving the San Francisco Giants their fourth straight victory, 1-0 over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.
''It would have been nice to get him a win,'' Crawford said. ''He pitched well enough that he should have gotten one. ... He looked like vintage Bum out there. He had everything working. His slider has been a lot sharper his last couple of outings, his curveball is looking a lot better and he's locating stuff.''
...
''You always want more,'' Bumgarner said. ''But the spot we're in now is not a bad place to be.''Sent from my iPhone
