For anyone watching the Giants telecast, Jon Miller is a class act. All time great announcer.

Walking batters hitting .167 and .182.  Really just unacceptable.

Okay, Kirilloff in right and Gallo at first ‘cause Joey is nicked up?

But he isn't pitching much because the set ups are losing it before the 9th. Wasn't is Andrew Miller that had that run as a "fireman" and would close or pitch multiple innings, and sometimes get brought in in the 6th or so because the bases were loaded and no outs? I think it was Miller. Duran could be that guy. And he definitely is not being overused. More like under used, holding him to close games that never get there, and then he has to pitch with a 4 run lead just to give him work! I would like to see him when he is needed to save a game. Sometimes that isn't the 9th.

Yeah but you’re still going to need someone to get the last 3-6-9 outs. And since the offense RARELY adds on, it’s going to be a 1-2 run game, a save situation.

On the bright side, you could get a king's ransom for Sonny right now.  He's probably going to ask for a trade tomorrow anyway.  I would if I was him.

But it is at least a save situation, instead of now being behind and Duran is on the bench instead. And we traded the farm for Lopez! 😇 He can do it! He is an all-star closer that we had to have. And Pagan with all that "stuff".

But Duran could go more innings. He is a bull. He could also be an ace starter. He is being underused, no?

Screwed by the ump again. Fake strike to Buxton. In the bottom of the 9th. Just when it hurts the most.

Is this team just bad? I thought it was a funk but maybe they are just bad. Felt like they had a chance to be strong offensively but nobody in the lineup at this point would scare me. Got a handful of guys that get a hold of one every 15 at bats but other than that....yikes.

 

 

 

There good at K's

Why doesn't Duran garner the same respect as other closers?  He can throw 100 mph or better. 

Answer: Mixes a few walks and center cut pitches, I' m guessing

The twins were 27-16 on May 24, 2022. They are 76-91 since then.
