Wouldnt shock me if he comes in for 2 innings

He pitched two innings on Sunday, hopefully he's arms a tad fatigued.

Not really. That means Showalter has no qualms about using him in the 8th. Even a slightly fatigued Britton is still easily the best closer in baseball.

We have the same guy we had when we had a record-breaking offense last year...

Yeah Showalter will definitely bring in Britton in the 8th now that I think about it. That means Brach will pitch the 7th. Ugh. Need to score in the next two innings badly.

We've been the worst offence in baseball for over a month and our entire season has been pretty underwhelming.

That shouldn't give him a free pass for this season though. Coaching is a what have you done for me lately role.

Stroman has been great. This joke of an offence can't get a **** hit though.

The point is: it's not his fault.

Stro has been incredible through 5 innings, yet he's going to get the blame for this if we lose it because the offence is total garbage right now.

I was really hoping we would string on some hits but man where is everyone? You can't hide forever

Stroman has arguably been better than Tillman, but he's still gotta go.

Everyone hating on Stroman would be better off cheering for the Giants - he's doing quite well.

We don't know that. Maybe he's been tuned out by the hitters this season or something. I think his job needs to be reviewed by the front office based on what he did this season, not last season.
