Zito loses eighth straight

Barry Zito became the first Giants pitcher since 1890 to open a season with eight losses. San Francisco fell to the Chicago White Sox, 3-1, on Saturday, and according to the Associated Press, "Zito ( 0-8 ) worked five innings and gave up only two runs in matching Jesse Burkett’s record. Zito allowed eight hits and a season-high six walks and struck out four. He has lost six straight in interleague play." How long until this guy actually wins a game???

Re: Zito loses eighth straight

They are hitting .337 against him and he is issuing a lot of walks...so he is pitching poorly...wins are a by product of different things however...I think he needs to get into the 6th or 7th inning of a game to pick up a win.

Personally, I think they should've just left him in the pen. Clearly his arm doesn't have that many innings in it per outing these days.

no...he does...he squanders the pitches though...look at the number of walks he gave up last game...and the number of hits...he is still getting in a good pitch count on a good day.

Re: Zito loses eighth straight

Not sure if he's injured or not, vince, but he finally earned his first win of the season last night.

According to the Associated Press, "Zito ( 1-8 ) allowed one run and three hits in 6 1-3 innings. He struck out five and walked four for his first victory since Sept. 30, 2007, when he defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in San Francisco’s season finale... Making his 10th start this year, Zito avoided becoming the first starter in franchise history to begin a season 0-9. The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner with Oakland, Zito has been a bust in San Francisco since signing a $126 million, seven-year contract before last season."

So now he's got things all turned around and will starting pitching like a former Cy Young Award winner. Er, right?
