I think this was the best starting pitching performance of the year. They needed this SO bad.

Two feet hit with one pitch.
I remember his call on Mike Scottâs division winner in '86: âGiants hitless through 8-2/3s âŚâ

This might piss some folks off⌠or not. But after getting to know Espada this season via his decisions and interviews, I really think heâs a valuable baseball guy. But⌠heâs valuable in âmiddle managementâ not so much âupperâ. He obviously has wonderful baseball qualities, but when you hire a rookie manager you ultimately donât know what youâre going to get.
ETA: he also will obviously learn and improve and that could happen quickly.
I totally understand taking Bregman out and might have done the same thing.

A no-no for Spaghetti wouldâve been icing on the cake, but the overall theme of getting a much needed team win is the most important thing to take away.
Mighty proud of the stomping of the Filthies today in the manner it happened.
