Keaton Winn

3-5, 5.63 ERA, 29 SO

Dogs running out some nobody named Gavin Stone...he'll probably throw 7 shutout innings.

I'll be satisfied if Winn doesn't shit the mound and goes six.

 

[Stokes1931]

Good start by the Giants. Leadoff double, and then 0-3 with RISP.

That run is on Tyro.

HORRRIBLE AB. Gotta get the runner over.

 

[Stokes1931]

Great stratergy. Walk the .150 hitter to face three guys hitting .330+ who also have speed and power.

 

[Stokes1931]

There you go. Nicely done. Allow the SB and an error to 3rd, only to totally embarrass the Dodgers with GIDP by their best hitter. Brilliant!

 

[Stokes1931]

Come on, Schmitt! Only Panda can hit those pitches in the dirt!

 

[Stokes1931]

You'd think with Matos' speed, and Schmitt hitting less than a buck, a sac bunt might be in order? But no.

 

[Stokes1931]

3 innings

0-5

Why can't these boys hit?!?

Nice thing is we don’t have any high priced talent.

 

[Stokes1931]

Nice thing is we don’t have any high priced talent.

In the infamous words of Major League, they're just high priced.

Lou: I thought you said we didn't have any high-priced talent.
Charlie Donovan: Forgot about Dorn, cause he's only high-priced. Picked him up as a free agent three years ago.
Lou: Still hits the ball well, doesn't he?
Charlie Donovan: Yeah, just can't field it. [Dorn gives cocky gesture to them]
Lou: We'll shape him up.

Always good to see you posting here.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Avoided the shutout.

 

[LHG]

Avoided the shutout.

Gotta get a token run somewhere

 

[shrksfn9192]

Soon to be 0-9 vs. LA and PHI combined.

19-16 vs. other opponents.

Winn is done as a starter. Absolute moundshattery.

Again.

RanRod was ok. Avila was shit.

This rotation has GOT to get better. And I think it will once Winn is out of it. Hicks/Harry/Spider/Snell should be a good foursome. Once Cobb or Ray is back we should be solid there.

Unfortunately, our season will be over by then.

I truly hope we are sellers and can somehow get rid of Chapman, Forto and Soler. I'd listen to anyone who wants Snell as well. Just hit a hard reset, fire FZ and his team, and start fresh next year with BoMel if the new GM wants to keep him. Our payroll next year if they could pull that off:

Ray 25
Taylor 12
Lee 18
Webb 12
Yaz 10*
Wilmer 7
Hicks 13
Jax 7
Tyro 7*
Murph 4
LWJ 7*
Tyler 5*
Doval 3*
Bailey 1
Beck 1
Walker 1
Harry 1
Winn 1
Fitz 1
Small 1
Black .75
Luci .75
Matos .75
Meckler .75
Ramos .75
Sabol .75
Schmitt .75
VR .75
Wise .75

About 144M with 11 open spots on the 40. about 70M for free agents plus whatever we could get for Snell/Chap/Forto/Soler in prospects.

As frustrated as I am with Schmitt’s bat, I think I am equally frustrated with Matos’ glove. If his D hadn’t been talked up so much as he made his way through the Minors, I would probably be somewhat OK with his defense. But he is showing that he has no baseball IQ and is the master of the banana route.

Stone went six and gave up one run
Winn shat the mound and went five.

Sigh...

Agreed. Give 'em the rest of the year and if they are still sucking...free up the 40 man spots

 

[tzill]

Winn heading to the IL with forearm tightness...gets an MRI tomorrow.

He was shit anyway so no big loss.

 

[sf1giantfan]

If I’m not mistaken, our rookies have the last 6 Ribbies. That might be saying something, maybe not much though.
