We think alike! (I just posted the same thought)
"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
Pitching is good
Marquis is getting it done – time for the offense to show up. But Cain is a good one. He’s thrown 68 pitches already, so maybe they should work some counts and try to get to the bullpen.

intentionally walking Rami to get to Soto
is akin to guarding the border but ignoring the Sudetenland.
"We expect to win. We go out to win. So we're just living up to our own expectations." Derrek Lee, 5/29/08
because the decided to make it intentional on the last one or two pitches

It
Seems like the pitcher didn’t/couldn’t do his job and so was forced to walk the batter.
is not the same as deciding from the beginning. The Pitcher should suffer in the BB/k ratio.
I want suffering.
I'm pretty sure IBB are counted as BB

Well – at least Cain is up around 100 pitches. I assume he’ll come back for the 7th, but that will probably be his last inning.

Marquis
Has thrown 72 pitches through six innings.
Not quite Aaron Cook territory (he through a 79-pitch CG shutout a week ago), but still pretty good.

Johnson struck out, anyway
no guarantee he would have, but a K doesn’t score a runner from 3rd.
Still, I was surprised that DeRo didn’t bunt

Cain won't be out again.
It’s time to hold ‘em, and then get some runs off the bullpen. Got the the top of the order coming up in the 8th.

another inning out of Cain, if I were the Giants.

Pitching is all the Giants have. If they let him go too far, management will hear about it.

He’s never proven he can hit in the majors and he’s not a prospect.

I understand all of this.
But let’s not forget that he has something like 18 HR in the last 3 weeks at AAA. It’s gotten past the point of “well, he’s just organizational filler”, to the point of “is he really doing… that?”
watching him here in AAA
is painful… he’s got such a slow bat. He’s like Richie Sexon without the Sexon.

Right now
I’m loving the pitch count system. In the old days, say 5 years ago, there’s no way Cain would have been taken out after 7. A ridiculous theory, in my book, but today it worked in our favor.

I'm waiting for this theory
to get taken up in football. Yes – we’d like to have Peyton Manning available for OT, but you see, he’s already thrown 40 passes today, so he’s finished and we’re bringing in the second stringer.

indeed
They’re paying Blanco $3 mln a year and he never plays. I’d get rid of him and bring up whoever we have in AAA – he can play once every 2 weeks for the minimum salary. And can probably hit as well and run a lot better than Blanco.
