Is Cobb signed for more than one year? Seems like every other game he has a bunch of strike outs. Seven so's in 6 innings tonight vs Braves.

Cobb is $9 million next year and the club has an option for $10 million the year after that.

He did look good against the Braves, who are behind the Giants 3-2 as I write this. That was no thanks to Zack Littell who gave up three earned runs in 2/3 of an inning and then decided to give Kapler lip when the manager came out to replace him with Scott Alexander (who got the third out on a flyball with an inherited runner -- from Littell -- on third).  As the inning came to a close, Kapler was ushering Littell into the clubhouse for what I could only surmise was a thorough application of a heat-seeking baseball cleat.  BTW, Littell's ERA is 5.08.

Giants had no errors, but Estrada made a boneheaded running play trying to steal second and getting thrown out by A LOT.

14 Giants struck out tonight. In the last seven games, Giants have struck out 14, 9, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 12. The Giants have struck out the 5th most in the major leagues. They have the 19th best OPS, but have scored the 14th most runs. They're 12th in ERA, but 16th in WHIP. And they are still 29th in Total Zone Total Runs Allowed, the most complete defensive metrics. We stink in the field.

EDIT: Despite the strikeouts, Giants still won, 3-2.
