Cain unaffected by unintentional hitting of Wright

[Upton]

One good thing came out of today's frustrating 2-1 10 inning loss to the Reds...Matt Cain, in giving up but 1 ER in 8 innings, did not appear to be distracted by the memory of the unintentionally beaning of David Wright in his previous start.

As Matt said.."You can't think about that"

Good news indeed for Giants fans..

1. Cain pitched a gem, but the Giants still lost.

Better man up at the plate -- Rockies are next.

[Upton]

3. They should have won today

11 hits and only 1 run and even that scored on a WP. They had a runner on third and less than 2 outs in both the 7th and 8th innings, 2 more on in the 9th...all 3 times came up empty.

Their hitting is terrible..27th in runs scored, 29th in HRs, dead last in OBP. I'd like to think things are going to turn around at the plate, but I don't see much reason for optimism.

2. Unfortunately, this is what was really happening..

Striking similarity!

6. Give the squirrel a bat

Couldn't be any worse

4. Apparently, the smallmen's offense was affected by the hitting of Wright.

:shrug:

5. Mr Control Pitcher has beaned Wright two times thus far.

And Wright has a .444 average against Cain.


Oh, and it's not like you're gloating over that act has been swept under the rug, Pigboy.

[Upton]

7. Nothing's been swept under the rug

everyone, and I mean EVERYONE...Wright, Cain, the Mets, the Giants, MLB, all agree that the incident was unintentional.

Nothing more need be said...except it might be a nice idea if you stopped acting like an old woman.

On Edit: I'd like to apologize to old women everywhere for comparing them to inthebrain.

10. The "Swept under the rug" comment was about your gloating over the beaning

Apparently your illiteracy won't be swept under the rug either.


Douche.

[Forkboy]

8. Wow...what a trooper!

[inthebrain]

9. Well, afterall he beaned himself in the head with the ball.

That's according to Upton.

[Upton]

11. If you knew anything about sports

you would know that sometimes pitchers involved in similar incidents are at times adversely affected..making them afraid to pitch inside etc. In fact, right after he hit Wright, Cain altered his approach to hitters, as he was clearly upset by the whole affair.

Anyway, it was good to see Matt back to his old self yesterday...I'm sure you'll join me in wishing both players the best of luck in putting this unfortunate accident far behind them.

[El Supremo]

12. Yup, Cain is all ready to bean someone else again.

Thankfully, I don't think he's scheduled for the Rockies series.

[Upton]

14. Yeah, Cain's not scheduled to pitch

in the series. Too bad too, because one of the unintended consequences of the accidental beaning is that hitters aren't going to be digging in and getting comfortable at the plate against Cain.

[madinmaryland]

15. Based on what you just said, it sure sounds intentional.

"Too bad too, because one of the unintended consequences of the accidental beaning is that hitters aren't going to be digging in and getting comfortable at the plate against Cain."

Douche.

16. Cain is gonna get his next time he comes to NY

Bank on it.

[Upton]

17. Sure, keep trying to convince yourself of that

when actually the only thing Matt is going to "get" when he returns to Citi Field, is a welcome from the many great Giants fans that reside in the NY area...

You seem to have some sort of delusional disorder... I find it most entertaining.

[Onceuponalife]

13. I'm sure he is afraid

Next time he throws at Wright he's liable to get his ass kicked.

[Upton]

18. LOL

Matt Cain afraid of little Davey?

:rofl:
