Post-Game Recap: Giants Drop Second Game

PrintI suppose we can all use a little break. Two hits. A couple of walks. No runs. Wade LeBlanc. Guh.
And maybe Buster Posey wasn't the pennant-winning bolt of lightning from Zeus's loins that I might have made him out to be. This year, at least.
It's a shame that Juan Uribe didn't get on base. I mean, Randy Winn was on deck. Yep. He was going to pinch-hit for Ryan Garko. Winn has been so productive all year, it was the only move that a manager could make. It's a shame we didn't see what was going to happen.

Wade LeBlanc is on my official shitlist

Hey, we have an official excuse for him. HE DIDN’T GET TO PLAY FOR THREE FUCKING WEEKS.

he was robbed of a hit his first time up, and he hit a bomb deep the other way his second time up. At least he wasn’t flailing away at bad pitches like the rest of the lineup was.

Yeh..
He was pretty selective in his AB’s.
Taking pitches just outside the strikezone.
He has a good eye.

David Eckstein is the most annoying POS. Cain should have taken a page from Penny’s book:
"Brad Penny was leading the league in walks in Triple-A," Eckstein recalled of a duel many years ago. "So he got to 3-0 on me. Next pitch, he drilled me so he wouldn’t get another walk on his record.
"I’ve been told that pitchers hit me on the first pitch, just so they don’t have to throw so many pitches."
In my shitlist, he’s somewhere between Ethier and Tulowitzki.
are scott hairston and Seth Smith on that list?

The number of times the Giants have allowed two or fewer runs in a game and lost.
I’d really like to know how that figure compares with other teams. I’m too lazy, maybe some stat monkey can look that up…

Didn’t they say on the radio tonight that if the Giants scored 3 runs they were 75-25?
Maybe I misheard, anyone else know? That seems too outrageous.
Nobody likes money
It sounds about right. I was digging around in another thread (someone brought up the topic what the Giants might look like with x amount extra run production). I was shocking how many game the Giants scored 2 or less (and lost) compared to the other categories.
That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.
I liked the part where Madison Bumgarner “has a low ERA” mumble mumble 5th starter!
TBH, if we could get Brady Penny for less than a half a billion units of his last name, I wouldn’t mind MadBum starting next year in AAA.
I’m not worried about Posey; he’ll CRUSH BALLS in Spring Training, and Boch will start him. As long as B$ is gone.

Who cares. Let “FUCK” be the amount of hatred I have for the Dodgers. Let “ASSHOLES” be the amount of hatred I have for the CRockies.
4 * FUCK = 5 * ASSHOLES
now skeeter, he ain't hurtin' nobody.
we can sign Penny, have Bumgarner be our fifth starter, and trade one of our starters for a bat, preferably Sanchez. I have nightmares of Eugenio Velez getting 600 at bats next season.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
Yes, if Velez gets that many PAs next year we will have more of the same next year. I really can’t see one mildly adequate bat making too much of a difference being surrounded by the same shit bats we currently have either.
To sum it up in one sentence, the offense will still be devastatingly bad next year, regardless.

We need at least one thumper and average production out of a lot places where we aren’t getting it. Hopefully, without giving away too much D in the outfield.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

yeah, you’ve got to listen to 1978 cds when it comes to Bruce. He hasn’t done anything worthwhile since. I mean, Edgar Renteria has one bad year and everyone hates him. Why does Bruce get a pass for 30 bad ones?
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
Because he hasn’t had thirty bad ones. And for the love of god, the whole conversation came out of a bootleg that was recorded LAST YEAR.

"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
he can still do good concerts, but all the good songs are from thirty years ago, that’s my point. I’m not arguing Bruce’s greatness back then, I’m just saying that he coasted on it ever since. It’s a natural thing though. Once you get rich, it’s hard to really feel that driving force you felt when you were young. However, you’re still great though, JPon. Your posts are as good as the ones I read the first day I came here.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
I don’t think anyone will deny he had a pretty lean period from the late 80s to the early aughts, but you should really listen to The Rising and Magic, they’re both great albums and up there with his best work of the 70s and early 80s.

This game may just be a sign that Cain is regressing right back to his “doesn’t know how to win” ways. Next year he’s going 3-17 because he just doesn’t know how to win. We should have traded him when we had the chance! Who’s going to want him now???
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.

It’s also been interesting to watch Cain interact with younger players this September. He’s really taken Madison Bumgarner under his wing. They walk to the ballpark together and I’ll bet they spend time in the same duck blind this winter, too.
Cain getting chummy with Bummy is very reminiscent of the way Matt Morris interacted with Cain just a few years ago. Cain learned a lot about how to compete and prepare from Morris, as well as the value in getting a little ornery on the mound, too. It’s not like Cain tried to copy Morris. They’re different people with different personalities. But Cain took the good stuff and applied it. And now, an old soul at 25 years of age, he’s passing a bit of himself along to the next hotshot pitcher.
Thanks, Baggs, but your blog really needs pics:
I like the way that Baggs holds open the possibilities that Sabean and Bochy won’t be retained, even while Bochy makes comments to him like “we’ll discuss Bumgarner this winter.”

And that’s where Towers could be a real asset to the Giants. If we are giving up one of our starters, I’d feel better if he was the one pulling the trigger.
That game meant nothing in the grand scheme of things and I still couldn't watch the whole thing
The Giants make me so angry that I would stomp on the corpse of a Bothan in full view of Mon Mothma. I would laugh and point at her sad expression while doing so.

Does Bochy know that Eugenio is hitting .177 from the right side? It’s funny to hear announcers from other teams talking about how many switch hitters the Giants’ have in their lineup. Unfortunately two of them can’t hit from the right side, and one of them can’t hit from the left side. The only real switch “hitter” they have is Pablo.
