WP Madison Bumgarner (5-1) , 7ip, 6h, 1r, 1er, 1bb, 5k, 2.31era
LP Randy Wolf (2-3), 6ip, 9h, 4r, 4er, 0bb, 3k, 6.68era
SV - Santiago Casilla (5)
Another rough start for Giants offense, couldn't get anything out of
the infield for a while, but then took advantage of Wolf as he began
to tire. Snotrocket Bumgarner was his usual self except a bit of
command trouble with his fastball early on. After Giants finally took
the lead after 42 innings without one (back to Padres on April 29),
the bullpen was mostly nails (Mota, Lopez, Casilla).
Early offense was MadBum just getting tired of all this and mashing in
Hector Sanchez with a scorched double down the 3B line in the fifth,
and then in the sixth, an offensive 3-run explosion (by this team's
standards). A nice Cinco de Mayo victory.
By the way, MadBum is to Zito and Timmy what the Wankel is to those
impossibly complex machines on "How It's Made." Timmy's delivery has
1,000 moving parts, Zito's has 10,000 and Snotrocket just Okie-blows
his nose on the ground, looks in for the sign, rocks and deals a
strike almost every time. Three moving parts and one of those is
mucous.
Next game: Sunday, May 6, Brewers at Giants. Marcum (1-1, 3.19) vs.
Cain (1-2, 2.35) TV: CSN-BA
I'm so glad you're back!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you........now make the Giants start winning.
