Game Recap: Reds 9, Giants 0

Well, Johnny Cueto just tossed a three-hit shutout against the Giants. The trade deadline is seconds away, and I don't know if the Giants will trade for a catcher.

Barry Zito's been awful this year. He's not getting swinging strikes, he's not inducing as many infield fly balls as he has in the past, and he's giving up a lot of home runs. With Jonathan Sanchez set to return, I don't know what the Giants should do with him...but I haven't yet given up hope that maybe Zito can still be a somewhat-useful fifth starter. Yes, I'm crazy.

UPDATE: 

Bochy's phone silent. Probably no more deals.Sun Jul 31 20:06:04 via Echofon
