4-2 Giants after a good display of small ball. Lewis stole second and scored off of a Durham single. Molina singles...again with Durham running on the pitch and got to third. Rowand then singled Durham in. Timely hitting and good baserunning is what I like to see. Well I take that back. Molina failed to tag on another deep fly ball.

I've been asking myself the same question. This has got to be killing him. To have a young pitcher go out and throw a solid six innings and then get a ND must wreak havoc in this guy's mind. I thought for sure the Giants would get atleast one game, but Misch struggled and the bullpen lost it. Bummer of a series.
Oh they got one game but just not today Yet another one run loss for the Giants. I admire Cain for never talking shit about his teammates but just once I would like hear that he did rip them a new ass behind closed doors where it belongs.

I know they won one game. I was referring to winning one game of the doubleheader. I don't think that Cain will ever call out his teammates. He's got too much poise and class, but if he ever did the media would rip him apart if they ever found out. And I don't think the Giants want any more negative media attention.
I don't see how the media could rip him if he didn't do it towards the meeting. If it leaked out that he went apeshit on his teammates for continuing to blow games in which he pitched, how could they blame him. But I do agree that he is too classy for that and would never do it. Maybe Bochy could grow a pair and do it.

I dunno maybe my thinking is too old-fashioned, but it would seem wrong for a young guy who doens't have very many seasons under his belt to go smack-talk his teammates. Although I do admit he does have a valid reason to do so if he so wishes. As for Bochy...it'd probably be good if he did. Light a fire under his team's ass to get them going.
Yeah you have a point. Bochy, Righetti or Gardner have to do something because they are straight killing Cain's starts. Cain best not have a clause in his contract where he gets so much money if he gets a certain amount of wins, like a bonus because he would be ****ed.
