The Giants are coming off one of the worst road trips in the history of road trips and what's more glaring than the 13 errors in 6 games is the starting pitching troubles. The starting 5 are now sporting a 13th place in the NL ERA and that's just not right. I personally am still blaming Canada. Why? Because it's weird to have to go play baseball in Canada and more importantly, because I can!
What I think is more stressful is the thought of Vogelsong losing his spot in the rotation. I think 99% of Giants fans will agree that watching him succeed after the trials and tribulations of his career had to be one of the best stories in baseball. I saw him pitch his first start back in a Giants uniform on May 8th, 2011 and it was the start of an amazing comeback to the game for him. If you watched "The Franchise" episode that talked about his story and didn't cry I don't know how you are human. I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole Vogelsong a couple weekends ago and she was so sweet. Sean and I told her how much we love Ryan and his story and she talked to us for quite a bit. It sucks when bad things happen to good people, granted it could be a lot worse, but it still sucks.
I hate change and I hate the thought of having to kick someone out of the rotation who was so key to the Giants success the last 2 years and especially in the playoffs. I get very emotionally invested in these players and when things aren't going well I don't like it.
What are your thoughts on Vogelsong? Are you ready to kick him to the curb and trade for a new starter or do you want to give him a few more starts to turn it around?
