No Clear Replacement For Vogelsong

I’m beginning to think that this just isn’t Ryan Vogelsong’s year. Even when he pitches well, it’s a letdown. On Monday night, Vogelsong pitched what was easily his best game of the season, tossing five shutout innings against the powerful Washington Nationals.

In brief: Former Red Affeldt overcomes homophobia

Last game Mike Leake, fresh off the worries of being demoted to the minors for some up-start rookie, dominated the New York Mets last night, shutting them out for 7 innings, while allowing only 3 hits. The offense used a game plan that I think should be repeated in the future and scored all the runs the team needed in the first. Sure some of it was due to the Mets pretending to be...

Well, that wasn’t nice to watch. I’ve been rough on Ryan Vogelsong this season because, well, his pitching had been pretty rough.  I thought he’d be the first one to miss a start, but not like this.  Seeing him get hit on the hand pretty much ruined a big win that the Giants (and their fans) needed.
