Show us what you got, Gorkys!

The Buccos are working the counts and really making Zito labor. Great start to the game!

My goodness is Cutch fast! A trip...trip...TRIPLE! And Walker knocks him in with a double...this is fun!

Bedard seems like toast. We need better.

I thought if he stayed healthy, he could be a solid No. 3. He is barely a No. 5 at this point. And his control is Hanrahan like.

He's pitching like Paul Malholm on a terrible night.

Lincoln time.

Agreed. I think he is up on the pen.

He looks like a shell of his former self. He's got to go. I sure hope we give Lincoln or one of the AAA guys a chance after the break.

I'm disappointed in Bedard. Like bucco boy said, I thought he'd be a rock-solid #3.

bucco boy · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:29 pm

The Giants have five runs on four hits with a two-run home run. That sucks.

He started so well tonight, too. I'm glad I held off talking trash to my father-in-law (A huge Giants fan). I had the message crafted on Facebook ready to send when Melky homered. :oops:

Alright Bucs. 2 runs down isn't bad.

IA Pirate · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:33 pm

Alvarez with another huge play at the hot corner to save a run. Whew! Only down two, this team has done it before!

bucco boy · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:38 pm

Since June 2, Bedard has only had two (of seven) quality starts. Gotta think he could be headed to the DL soon with a tired arm.

The game isn't over by any stretch, but regardless I think Resop deserves one of the stars!!! Talk about putting the fire out of this Giants team... 2 and 1/3 innings in just 22 pitches! That is approaching Karstens territory for efficiency.

how is the giant bullpen??? hope we can squander 2 or 3 runs from them I think we are going to need 7 to win

Looking at Bedard's game logs.

On May 9th he faced 3 batters in 1 IP (5 pitches) and then left the game. A week later he was back out on the mound, but since then (not counting tonight) he's posted a 6.08 ERA in 47.1 IP.

Anybody remember what injury forced him from that game?

There may have been some lingering effects...
