Sorry guys, this is my fault. I missed the first inning. When I saw the score I thought, "Cool, maybe the Wanger is pitching better." I jinxed him just by thinking about it.

what does this even mean? is it true because you said period at the end? he's a better hitter than our starting CF, our starting 3b, Pena and Molina. and i only mentioned platooning him vs lefties when Molina wasn't behind the plate.

This was my thought after his last game, but would they really bring him out for a third start if they even had a hint this was the case?

I just think we have to come to terms with the possibility Wang will never be the same after that injury. At this point, how else can you explain three horrible starts like this? It's ****ing batting practice out there.

playing around w/ the pitchf/x thing to look at Wang last year to Wang so far this year, and thing that jumps out to me, is this year he's been topping out at 92mph w/ the 4seam and mixing it up with a 82mph changeup. Last year at his best he was hitting 94 and 95mph w/ the 4seam and changing speeds w/ a 88mph slider/sinker. and more rarely using the 82mph change.

i'm just learning to play with this stuff so that could all be variance i guess. cool stuff though.

what about the TWO GUYS (gardner/ransom) that are in the starting line up?? and this only matters if matsui has to go to the DL. If that happens who are you suggesting that we start?

ill still take gardner over him any day of the week and as bad as randsom is why are you comparing duncans hitting to that of a guy who can play all over the infield
