They lose on Friday they were in the next two games in the series. And like really this was a strong performance by AJ Burnett Lincecum got bounced around a bit and then the Giants this didn't play well at all from base running to try to get the ball. Well I'm not okay -- Donovan I think -- -- competitively you're doing that he's not used to get hit hard and he got hit hard the day by day. By the Pirates if they really puts some good at bats together to have a great slider -- pretty good split. Her ball but the fastball -- that he had pretty good command with a and I moved him around I thought with with authority and then all of us that he took over that was lights out. He could regroup that he could get it back -- whether it was too late now. This is a road trip that Jack saw a lot of tough -- because -- as -- whether. They need this break this is an all star break that's coming right at the right time this club they looked tired and hopefully they get picks go to get. This Friday with a cup back -- -- their school whether all hall was a pretty good first half and they're good position for the second half. But the one big question mark -- two rounds this team is what is going on with the time.
