Actually that makes an interesting matchup between young pitchers--maybe goign up against a young phenom like Lincecum will give Pelfrey some incentive to step it up--not that he hasn't been lately.
Yeah, if they can't score against Sanchez I give up--it's ridiculous.
Pelfrey is being viewed as the ace by other staffs? LOL There is nothing I would like more than Pelfrey becoming a stud homegrown ace. Santana may have gotten a few bad breaks this season and should have 2 or 3 more wins but his attitude makes him unlikeable.
I dont know if you consider that a break knowing the Mets inability to hit with rookie pitchers and those they have not faced yet. I think this is why the Giants made the move. Smart one on their part. If it backfires, oh well... its against Santana. If it works, its against Santana and the Mets anemic offense.
I heard on the radio that Bochy made the move to give Lincecum two more starts before the all star break and to possibly keep him from being available to start the all star game.
i would rather see santana go up against the other teams ace, since hes the one pitcher you know we wont score runs for no matter who the lineup is facing.
a break? There hasn't been a such thing as a break for Santana..he gives up more than one lowly run and he loses..the Mets just dont score for him...i gaurantee you even if Bill Pulsipher or Anthony Wright came back from the unknown, pitched on the apposing team, the mets wouldnt score off of them..not with Santana needing the run support..its like a friggen curse...Tom Glavine went through the same crap when he was with the Mets.
