Re: Yikes Noah Lowry

Being a huge Giants fan, I have already surrendered to the fact that they will not win a lot. I feel bad for Cain and Lincecum because if they had an offense like the Red Sox or Yankees, they would compete for Cy Youngs, but when you will not get much run support it will be hard to even get votes. I am not trying to bring down Beckett because he is a tremendous pitcher but when you get the run support he did last year, it is much easier to pitch well and attack the batters.

Whereas, Cain last year time after time had to pitch into later innings tied 0-0, which makes it much harder to attack the batters. You try to be too fine cuz you dont wanna risk giving up a run whereas when you are up 5-0 after the first inning like Beckett gets sometimes you can afford to attack a batter even when there is a man on cuz it will not matter as much if it gets hit out. I also know it was not purely the Giants offense that kept Cains stats down as the bullpen blew 5 of his games when he left with the lead (I hate Scott Hairston). But Cain had 3 games where he gave up one hit over 6 or more innings and he got the loss or no decision in all of them.

I feel for ya, Santana suffered from alot of the same with the Twins. Sometimes I wonder what in the hell Sabean is actually doing out there. Not only are the position players horrid at the plate, but they're old as well.

Re: Yikes Noah Lowry

There is a rumor going around that the White Sox are looking to trade Joe Crede for Noah Lowry.

As a White Sox fan, I would not want this trade to go down. We got enough pitchers on our roster who can't locate their pitches.

I'm afraid Lowry won't be better than he looked his rookie year, where he looked really damn good.

He seems to have plateaued IMHO

Giants' Lowry to have wrist surgery

Might be why Lowry didn't pitch so well.
