Meanwhile another Sawks AAA pitcher is going to shut us down.

Maybe we can salvage one game tomorrow...

 

[Stokes1931]

Hey. We already have a hit. In the 2nd inning! Baby steps.

 

[tzill]

Feels like that 1-0 lead was the only one we are going to have tonight. Phuk Jefferies.

 

[Stokes1931]

I didn't realize what a K machine Chapman was. He's got 33 K's in 119 ABs so far.

The glovework is a wonder to behold, however.

Giants score 1

Jefferies gives up 2

Giants score 1

Jefferies immediately gives it back, with the RBI double to a .149 hitter.

SSS, but I am NOT seeing the attraction of Jefferies and his 15.43 ERA. SMH

Why didn't they call up Black instead (he started today for Sacramento) and dfa White? I don't get it. Oh, maybe the Giants are racists!





Just kidding. Please don't hurt me.

Or incompetent. Or biased. Or something.

Jefferies can go back to Sacto and off the 40 man as far as I am concerned. He has shown less than nothing in his appearances so far. And he doesn't appear to be getting any better. Of his 5 hits allowed (and two walks), 3 are doubles, one is a triple. Not fooling anyone. 17.36.

 

[Stokes1931]

S0000ler needs a break, a mental break, a physical break. He's rapidly heading to .200 and still can't drive in a runner on base. Seemed like a good signing at the time. Still may be. But we're now 31 games in and it is not looking good.

Phuk Jefferies. this one is over.

Get 'em tomorrow.

Maybe.

The Astros just optioned Jose Abreu to, I believe, their low A ball affiliate for adjustments. Maybe Soler can agree to the same kind of arrangement.

Today's game is a good example why the bullpen collectively has a negative 1.6 WAR.

Was Jefferies‘ last appearance as a bulk as well?

It was to be expected. He has struck out over a thousand times in 6 and a half seasons.

Nope, it was a start.

I warned about this before he even signed. He's always been a K machine.

Give him enough PAs and he'll K 200 times.

Give Tony Gwynn enough PAs, he will k 200 times as well.

Interesting side note, the more ABs Nick Lowery gets, the less Ks he has. He actually averages negative Ks per AB.

Ok: Give Chapman 650 PAs and he'll K 200 times.

Better?

650?

Do I hear 600? Anyone for 600?

I see that hand.

Do I hear 550? Anyone for 550?
