Postgame Wrap: Don’t Ask Me, Ask Barry
The Giants scored three runs in a 2-out rally in the first inning. Brandon Belt had an extra-base hit. Barry Zito drew a walk, and threw a quality start. Not bad for a beautiful day in San Francisco, and Thomas and I scored press passes to watch this game in style. I’ll try to supplement this blog with some real quotes or video or something, but until I get that, it’s...

Zito looks like old struggling self
After two innings, the San Francisco Giants trailed 8-0. The game in Milwaukee virtually ended there. They lost 8-5. Is Barry Zito back to his old ways? Zito pitched a clunker in a season he's been surprisingly good. Does the fan base take Wednesday's performance as a blip on the screen? Or the beginning of more struggles for the left-handed pitcher? Zito walked three...

Brewers jump on Zito early, beat Giants
MILWAUKEE -- Miller Park has not been particularly kind to Barry Zito, who took the mound Wednesday against Milwaukee with an 0-3 record and 7.22 ERA in six career starts in the Brewers' home park. Those numbers didn't improve Wednesday, when Zito was tagged for eight runs over three innings in the Giants' 8-5 loss to Milwaukee. "It's been weird at this yard...

Voumas/AP
The Giants best pitcher ever, Barry Zito, has just thrown in his seventh start of the 2012 season, and has done surprisingly well so far.
How well? Giants fans haven’t booed him off the mound yet (and that tells ya somethin’!).
But just for fun, let’s do a blind comparison of his first seven starts this season, as well as 2011 and 2002 when he was the...

What the heck is Barry Zito throwing?
Barry Zito has had good stretches before. As recently as 2010 he strung together four starts in May which were even better than the four he made this April. So, what follows should not be mistaken as a declaration of renewed trust in the One-Hundred Million Dollar Enigma. I’ll declare a Barry Zito “renaissance” around the same time Ryan Theriot wins a batting title...
