Two bad outings from Lester in a row. I'm gonna try to get him.
Also, you can never go wrong with halladay.
thats actually 3 awful starts in a row. got rocked at Toronto - 5IP, 7H, 5BB, 2HR got rocked at NYY but picked up the win - 6IP, 5H, 4BB, 2HR and then again tonight vs Cubs - 6IP, 12(!)H, 2BB, 5ER might wanna send some offers out asap!
Cahill had been mowing down the Giants all night - 6 innings of 1 hit ball, just 83 pitches total. so in the top of the 7th with 2 outs, runnner on 3rd (who got to 3rd on a "passed" ball only because home plate umpire John Tumpane is a freakin idiot who missed the clear foul ball that glanced off the bat AND HIT HIM IN THE LEG )Geren yanks Cahill for pinch hitter Matsui.
except theres a pitching change and Matsui is then pulled to be pinch hit for as well. soGeren sacrifices his best pitcher and most powerful hitter to bring up ....CONNOR JACKSON! who promptly grounds out to end the inning.
he did the Giants a huge favor bc we had no chance of hitting Cahill. pure genius
