And Btw, I agree with your point regarding McCatty. If the pitching continues performing below their talent level I think he'll definitely be the first to go.

I didn't see it but didn't sound like he had necessarily great stuff early(what was it 7 hits 1st 3 innings?) Aces fight thru that and do exactly what he did tonight.

he definitely left some pitches over the middle, but they had a lot of ground ball singles. I'm the first one to criticize him when he pitches poorly, but he definitely didn't have much luck tonight. Our hitters had the same poor luck, combined with the fact they were probably exhausted after having to play a night game in new york last night in 90 degree heat and didn't get to SF till around 5 in the morning. The scheduling quirk that doesn't allow night games on getaway days when going west to east, does not apply when going in the opposite direction.
