| This is how Cain looked in the eyes of the Pirates' hitters. From imgur.com |
Remember those idiots who criticized Cain for blowing that six-run lead against Arizona last week? The only thing those critics can find wrong with his start in the Giants' home opener today against the Pirates is that the only hit he gave up was to the pitcher James McDonald (how dare he!).
I'm probably going to reiterate this until June: it is too early to make any judgments about this season. Tim Lincecum might have an awful year, but everyone asking "What is wrong with Tim?!?!?!" needs to settle down, just like those saying "Barry Zito is finally going to justify his horrible contract!!!" need to relax (don't worry, Zito will never justify his contract).
Same goes for Cain. A one-hit, no walk, 11-K shutout is an amazing start (even against the Pirates), but we have no idea how his season will end up at the moment, so let's not overreact. I am a big Cain fan, if you didn't know already, so I felt obligated to give him a shout out, but don't take this or the Barry Zito post as anything more than giving a couple pitchers credit for their great starts.
I still can't believe Cain's one hit was to James freaking McDonald, though. This close to perfection Matt!
