I think Giants have the complete team and will Win the NL West by 5-7 games, if they can stay healthy. So far the lack of Nen hasn't hurt them. See how they do now that Jensen is on the DL, but that Foppert is suppose to start sometime and people are saying he will be good.

Starting pitching my be their only weakness, but they have guys that will give them innings.

If it isn't there starting pitching then it is there bullpen that is going to give them hell F-Rod has not had a good season so far and he didn't have a very good year at all besides throwing up those friggen softballs to the Angels in game 6 last year to blow the 5 run lead (IDIOT)

:dead

and he better get his shit together, or it is time to look for a new setup man

Nen = new setup man. Let Worrell close this year.

:!:

Interesting?? Kind of like it, but does Nen have enough Gas to go that type of distance for a closer sometimes

most setup pitchers only go one inning just like a closer. In theory you want your starters to give you 6-7 innings every night.

pretty weak division if you ask me....Arizona is struggling, San Diego will never be good....Colorado is off to a decent start, but they won't challenge for the division....it's really a matter of SF or LA....and SF is at least 10 games better than LA.

but these days some teams ask there setup man to go 2-3 innings

Mensa_Club_2 · April 16th, 2003, 04:43 PM

not the Pirates...their setup men only go one inning, after the starter goes 5 or 6, which means 3-4 relievers a day.

houston · April 16th, 2003, 04:51 PM

Couple of examples Mike.

Jeff Nelson 7th
Arthur Rhodes 8th

Mike · April 17th, 2003, 08:54 PM

right but is it realy realistic to ask a setup man to go just one inning these days, I think not

Mensa_Club_2 · April 17th, 2003, 08:55 PM

it's perfectly acceptable...whatever works for any given team.
