Humble Pie Courtesy of Tim Alderson

Every once and a while I have an occasion where I make a strong statement only to have to later knaw on my size 12 sneaker.  It appears that that time has arrived again as Giants super young righthander Tim Alderson has just tossed 6.2 no-hit innings in his AA debut with Connecticut.  Alderson’s perfection was marred by just one walk, but he more than made up for that by punching out 10 New Hampshire hitters. 

Remember that it was just a couple of days ago that I expressed concern that Alderson may have some early struggles as he had been nearly as dominant as his southpaw counterpart Madison Bumgarner.  Well….it looks like the Giants had some idea of what they were doing by sending Alderson east.  Keep an eye on his continued progress and prepare yourself for Bumgarner’s first AA start and get your Alderson cards on eBay now before the rest of the market reads the box score and reacts accordingly.
