I thought for sure Chafin would walk Craw.

Nice win.

I approve -- except for #weaklink.

I don't think the guy threw one strike.

More on the weirdness of baseball. In the postgame on the radio Jon Miller described how Stratton got Descalso to pop up behind the plate to end the inning, but Hundley had to battle wind and the sun and couldn't pick it up and it dropped foul. Next pitch he ripped the double to score the first 2 runs. So we complain about shitty Stratton but he did his job...

Man, Hanson has just been terrific

Another Facebook only game, FYI

AJax gets his first start since May 18th

That Twitter feed is a mess. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

FWIW:

Giants own his right for 4 more years. Next year at the minimum, then the next 3 in arbitration.

If he keeps up the hitting, do the Giants trade Panik? Do they try to sell high on Hanson? Keep both?

It's not really the Giants' M.O. to do stuff like that, but I would seriously took to cash in on Hanson in the offseason if his stats hold up. A former top-prospect with 4 years of control that seemingly has put it all together? Could land a pretty good piece. Or you pair him and Jeff Shark together to dump that contract.

But right now Hanson is pretty dang useful. I don't think I'd do it at the deadline unless the Giants are way out of it.

Seriously?

4 IP 7 H 3 ER 2 W 3 K 84 pitches.

say Hundo catches the ball, that saves Strat four pitches and 2 ER

4 IP 6 H 1 ER 2 W 3 K 80 pitches.

That's "doing his job??"

Well lessee, 2.25 ERA and likely allowed to keep pitching so more IP? Sure.

Look we all know your feelings about starting pitching. A guy gives up a couple in the first inning and you say you hate baseball and you're out. We don't all have to agree.

1. ERA isn't the best metric to look at, WHIP is
2. Boch would keep him out there in the 5th with 80 pitches? Unlikely, as his final three pitches (in the 5th, btw) were T-Ball quality which is why Boch took him out.
3. Most importantly, AFTER the Hundo foul (which was a pretty damn tough play, btw) what did Strat do? He put it right down the middle for a bases clearing double.

I don't think it's fair to say that "but for the Hundo foul ball, he pitched a good game."

Again, we can disagree.
