Cahill pitched great. Not sure how Vogelsong is SF's "worst pitcher" either. He's been on fire this year.

Cahill is going to be a front-runner for the Cy Young for the next 10 years. Kid just gets it done time and time again...

Cahill could have pitched for 20 innings, and Oakland still would have failed to record a second run.

agree. oakland's manager has no clue either

Vogelsong is a pretty damn good pitcher. The Giants have a great staff...

Giants starting pitching is why they are so tough. wish the Rockies had their pitching

thebestthereis · 05-21-11, 10:54 AM

starting pitching is maybe 60% of what it takes to be a winning team

Giants bullpen is what puts them over the top.

Vogelsong is considered the Giants 5th starter the only reason he is in there is Zito going down with an injury. He was out of MLB for several years and is trying to make a comeback...Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez and Bumgarner are considered the core group that is young and will be with the Giants for several years.

Vogelsong's home ERA this year is 0.00.

Bumgarner

I am well aware of that, but Vogelsong is much more effective than Sanchez right now.

Oakland can't score pure & simple

Any pitcher can look great against those Swinging A's

If we throned someone as more effective than someone else after such a small sample we would be re-writing awards and definitions constantly

Guy, you read into this too much. We all know how Vogs got there. Does he have the worst stats out of the other 4? No. He is making the most out of his opportunity. If he pitches like this, it will be a big decision how Zito is handled. I wish nothing but the best from this Kutztown Alum!
