giant Madison bum Garner can’t shake the month long Jekyll

Considering that Bumgarner was simply brilliant through the first month of the season (1. 55/0. 84 ERA/WHIP, . 176 BAA over 40. 2 IP), this can’t be called anything other than a disappointing development. Yes, the 23-year-old (! ) still has outstanding stuff, but for every step forward since the calendar month turned, he’s taken a step back.San Francisco Giants Shop

After showing impeccable control in April as demonstrated by a 1. 99 B/9 (a number mostly marred by one five-walk outing), he’s allowed at least a pair of walks in all of his starts in May, good for a 3. 73 BB/9.Travis Ishikawa Jersey

Combined with the fact that he’s allowed a home run in all but one of his starts this month (1. 15 HR/9 vs. 0. 66 in April), and you can see why he’ll drag an unsightly 5. 17/1. 31 ERA/WHIP into June. Just a bump on the road? Probably.Sure, the four hits allowed to six strikeouts show that he’s still got the stuff, but those hits count just a bit more when runners are getting on base without having to swing the bat.Willie Mays Jersey
