The Right Place
Normally I complain when Greg Maddux leaves a game after 75 pitches when he's having success. Last night, Maddux threw six shutout innings, but gave way to the bullpen. In San Diego, however, that strategy works. Meredith, Linebrink and Brocail combined for three perfect innings of relief work, striking out three along the way. All told, the Giants only managed six hits against the Padres staff as San Diego took home a 4-0 victory.
The Giants team batting line reads like a bad middle infielder from 1968. The offense hold a .232 BA, a .289 OBA and a .307 slugging percentage. That kind of hitting gets individual players released. And with an 0 for 4, Bonds fell below the Mendoza line with a .192 batting average.
