Think about that.<BR/><BR/>And for the first time in quite a while the MSM is questioning Beane's approach and execution. <BR/><BR/>That's probably premature, as the team is extremely young, and a reliance on rookie pitchers has not served any team well (Yankees, Red Sox, etc) this year. <BR/><BR/>Across the Bay, we all enjoy watching Tim Lincecum pitch superbly in his second year, but is their any excuse for the completely out-of-it Giants to run him out for 117 pitches in his last start?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-48022613245224745762008-08-11T09:08:00.000-04:002008-08-11T09:08:00.000-04:00Carpenter's loss, if extended, is surely the seaso...Carpenter's loss, if extended, is surely the season. The Cardinals were kind of up against it already given their shambles of a bullpen, and it's hard to see how they'd overcome this.<BR/><BR/>Up to the point when Carpenter left, that game had been baseball at its best. Dempster was strong, though inefficient, while Carpenter was just getting easy out after easy out, at 62 pitches with one out in the 6th. It was a beautiful thing.Levi Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094919454842047688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-46073733696396394942008-08-11T01:34:00.000-04:002008-08-11T01:34:00.000-04:00I've been wrong all this time.
