I saw the clip of that last K.  Miller was pumped.  Whenever the benches clear for a tussle, I can't help but smile when the bullpens finally arrive from the outfield. :)

Didn't need Miller yesterday. Three HRs, every starter got a hit, 10-5 blowout; Chapman, Susac, Arraez, Adames and Schmitt had multiple hits. I believe Washington has the worst team ERA in MLB by at least a full run and it showed. The fact that they left former Giant Littell in to accumulate eight earned runs shows how little pitching they have.

Maybe now SFG (8-12) starts a slow climb upwards. They have the 23rd worst record. Houser pitches today, he gave up four runs in each of his last two starts...but Cavalli gave up 4 runs in 1 1/3rd his last start. Hopefully today's a good day.

162 game schedules seem to be built for slow climbs.  When they were 6-12 I was thinking, oh no prob, they just need to go 4 and 3 for awhile -- until I realized "awhile" was basically 6 weeks to get to .500.  That would be a nice Memorial Day target, but the Giant fan in me remembers the infamous annual June swoons. And all the while the hated Dodgers will be somewhere around .700, sheesh.  At least there's usually a chance to get in the playoffs come September.
