Fucksake I wish reddit would get the FUCK out so I could bring this place back to glory

Where are you based?

He hasnt even pitched 11 innings yet, not a big enough sample size to make any conclusions.

Melancon's biggest problem is his team never has a lead in the 9th

Im glad Im not the only one seeing he's not an ace

yes, his ERA's low, but he ALWAYS puts someone on base when he's put in to close. Just yesterday, he had 2 guys on and potentially the tying run at bat with a 2-0 count. He has NEVER pitched a 1-2-3 inning

>inb4 b-but he gets GIDP

>>75707641
He literally just pitched 3 1-2-3 innings in a row like a week ago

You and OP are stupid. His WHIP is a little bit high right now, but it will come down. You're just overreacting to small sample size

It's me, Mark

>>75710256

and just a few days ago, he blew a 2-0 save situation by giving up a 2 run bomb

>>75710677
Yep, he's blown 2 saves, yet his ERA is still only 2.53

Look, I know he's been shaky, I'm just saying it's too early to call him Santiago Casilla 2.0. I doubt he blows more than 5 save opportunities over the full season, even with the 2 he already has.

And if anything, he'd be Armando Benitez 2.0 if he fucks this season up bad

>Giants relief pitching

no matter what, it's not gonna be good

they need Bumgarner pitching complete games, then coming in relief just days later, to win the World Series

Casilla had the same mid 2 ERA for most of last year.
