Well Santana just wasted Hudson's brilliant outing for me

Hochevar isn't exactly cruising out there. If Santana can have a couple of clean innings and the Angels keep scoring...

Ugh...last night I was deciding between Arrieta or Fister for a spot start. I chose Arrieta.

A majority of the people benched Bumgarner so of course he goes out there for 7 innings of 2-run ball and the Giants bats lighting up McClellan...of course

Big fat Bart keeps getting it done. Only really one bad start and in that one he was cruising until the 6th inning.

seriously.. wtf is wrong with Lester???

hes was downright awful in 3 of his past 4 starts and now hes getting slapped around by the white sox of all teams.
his command has been terrible, walking guys and leaving fat pitches right out over the plate... injury?

I wouldn't be all that worried...he's been a pretty slow starter the last couple years. Last year it was a bad April... '09 he was bad in April and May and '08 wasn't a great start either. Command has always been his biggest issue though. His velocity is still fine so I wouldn't worry.
