The San Francisco Giants have come out of the all-star game looking pretty flat. San Diego was a surprise when they lost all three games. No doubt these things happen in baseball. The NL West is very competitive from top to bottom. However, it has been surprising to see such little offense after several rest days. None of the games have been big blow outs, but the lack of offense has not picked up the starting pitching.
Matt Cain comes back from injury tonight. As a fan, I am a little puzzled by the timing of his return. This couch manager would have Matt waiting and making his return to the lineup in San Francisco against a team that is not currently leading MLB in offense. Matt had some good starts before his injury and has been a great presence in the lineup his whole career. I want to be wrong, but I have a hard time visualizing a first start after injury by Matt or any other pitcher going well against this Boston lineup. Please prove me wrong Matt and go further than the fourth inning.
Matt Cain will be facing a new pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. Drew Pomeranz will make his much anticipated debut for Boston.
Go Matt Cain! Go Giants!!!
