Giants defense would make any pitcher mad

Maybe so but they didn't have any errors yesterday and certainly didn't throw the pitches that went over the wall. Carlos knew it was an L as soon as he gave up those homers because the Giants do not score runs. There is zero room for error when you're pitching with that anemic offense.

Well that too & probably still wants to fight the right fielder from his prior outing

#SFGiants also now listening on their veterans. Carlos Rodon and Joc Pederson are among obvious candidates if they do sell. Rodon has an opt out and Pederson is free after the year.

^ send them both to the Braves and let's go win the whole thing again!!

Run it back for Joc.

From @EliasSports about the Giants' Carlos Rodon, who is scheduled to start for the Giants tonight: This season, 57 percent of the hits he has allowed have come with two strikes in the countby far the highest rate in the majors. No other qualifier is above 46% in that category

Carlos has to figure out how to go a bit longer in games. I know it's tough for a power pitcher like him to do that, but the Giants **** bullpen has cost him at least 3 or 4 wins this year.

Still, was a great performance from him, especially the 6th after he loaded the bases and struck out the side. Interested to see what he decides to do this offseason. I hope he goes to a legit contender.

when I looked at box score at end of inning, I do rough math on pitches per inning. Through 5 innings Rodon was around 12-13 pitches per inning, which is 108-117 for 9 innings.

6th inning yesterday with walk, couple of hits leading to bases loaded withand the 3 strikeouts to end inning with no runs scored drove up pitch count to around 100 after 6

4 pitch double
6 pitch single to left, runners 1st and 3rd
6 pitch strike out
8 pitch walk
4 pitch strike out
8 pitch strike out

36 pitch inning

Yeah, but he has like 2 pitches, so I think that makes it easier for hitters to sit on whichever pitch they prefer. It's an elite fastball and slider, no doubt. But it leads to lots of foul balls and batters getting really deep in counts. I think he dropped the changeup from last year, but he threw ONE curve yesterday. He needs to expand his pitch repertoire if he wants to take another step as a dominant pitcher.

now I understand

Carlos is 17th in the majors in IP. Those notes are correct for the struggles he's having going deeper but that's kind of just the new reality for pitchers in today's game unless you're a sinker ball guy who gets weak contact and can erase runners with DPs.

The way the top strikeout pitchers pitch now is basically like a closer would. You mirror your fastball to your top breaking ball so they both look the same to hitters and get through the order twice off of that then teams pull you once you struggle the third time through

Rodon is around top 30 for IP per games started at 5.8. That's not bad at all.

Carlos is pitching today vs the Cubs. The Cubs need to burn these damn jerseys. An absolute abomination.
