Cain Making An All-Star Sized Performance

Over the last couple weeks with Tim Lincecum's struggles Matt "shotgun" Cain has been the Giants bright spot. Here is the line on Cain, over the last four games he has started he is 3-1 with a 0.53 ERA with three complete games and and two shutouts including a 1-hitter against Arizona. In the one loss he gave up one run that was not earned and he pitched a complete game of 8.0 innings at Oakland.

As of right now Cain is out pitching the back to back Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum who seems to have lost some of his mojo. I like how Cain is stealing strike one with the Curveball and finishing off hitters with the Fastball which seems to have increased in velocity and has pinpoint control. He is taking a big step forward from the already superb pitcher that he was last season.

Matt Cain keep up the good work.

Aaron Rowand the Every third Year Hall of Famer:

There seems to be a pattern that is developing with Aaron Rowand and even he can't seem to explain why, but don't fret I have put my science cap on and have discoverd the answer.

It is against my better statistical judgment to think that maybe there is some that clicks on in Aaron Rowand every three years but the numbers just slap in you the face and make you think that something is up.

Maybe to most it would seem to be a coincidence that his offensive outburst just happens to coincide with el Niño years. However I have crunched the numbers and run the experiments in my bath tube and this is the best, nay the only explanation for the naturally occuring phenomenon.

This triennial eruption is a welcome break from the league average hitter that we see every other season and it really couldn’t come at a better time for the Giants who desperately need offense to go with a league best pitching staff.

Let’s take a gander at the gamer's career numbers vs. league average:
