Geez guys, debating Pittsburghs catchers rather than celebrating a much needed, bounce back win?!? 21 and 10 should be enough from here on out. With our starting pitching, doable. . . .

Then again, we've gone 5 and 5 with the same starters over the last 10. . . .

I think of Bart's loss and the decision to use Casali, Murphy, Sabol, Reetz, and Knapp as emblematic of Farhan's decision making. And while we're on the subject of stupid Giants decisions, three of Pittsburgh's top four hitters (Reynolds, Bart, McCutchen) were formerly Giants. Bart and Reynolds were high draft picks. If Joey Bart had enough ABs, he'd be 12th in MLB in OPS at .885. We currently have two hitters at .885 or higher; Grant McCray (.898) and Tyler Fitzgerald (.921). Hope we don't trade them away.
