Pet Peeves: the Everyone Else Edition

Things that don't bother me as much as they seem to bother everyone else:
1. Rich Aurilia starting in the place of Travis Ishikawa against lefties.
Maybe a large chunk of my semi-prospect-lovin'-heart is blackened and dead. The blood just isn't pumping like it used to. The medical term: Niekrosis. It's a horrible, sad condition, and it isn't Ishikawa's fault. But I'm wary about those semi-prospects. And danged if it isn't all sorts of rational to want a right-handed complement to Ishikawa, even if Ishikawa might not end up as a strict platoon player. Aurilia hit .321/.377/.526 against lefties last year, and other than an all-around wretched 2007, he's been a consistent hitter against southpaws. Ishikawa has one walk and 13 strikeouts in 44 at-bats so far. I can't defend that.
I'd guess the Giants have a 20% chance at winning the division. Your numbers may differ. I'd give Ishikawa a 10% chance of ever becoming a major league starter. Ergo post prompter hoc emptor pluribus: I'd rather mess with Ishikawa's development than mess with the 2009 Giants' chances of winning individual games.
2. ESPN's fixation on the Yankees and Red Sox.
My secret: I don't watch a lot of ESPN other than their live baseball games. And ever since they put Rob Neyer and others behind the pay wall, I don't go to ESPN.com. So when I get a chance to watch a Sunday night Yankees/Red Sox game, I'm pretty stoked. Justin Masterson has a funky, whip-arm delivery. He good. Both teams have interesting hitters up and down the lineup; both teams have pitching staffs worth following. I missed the ESPN.com feature article on Dustin Pedroia's matchbook collection, so I'm not really feeling the overkill.
3. Juan Uribe
Dude's a utility infielder. He's being used sparingly. Doesn't anyone remember Jose Vizcaino? That's what most utility infielders are like. They do something that impresses someone somewhere, but they usually combine atrocious plate discipline with zero power. Uribe's kind of like that, except he's hit 20 or more homers in three seasons. That kind of counts as a skill, even if he's taking the Pedro Feliz plate discipline correspondence course. Look around the league: there aren't too many teams with a better backup shortstop. That's not a can of aerosol pride to spray around the room as you dance, mind you. It's just that when he doesn't do well in a given at-bat, it's like, yeah, he's a backup shortstop.
4. A.J. Pierzynski
Look, we all know th...man, I can't even joke about this one without boils appearing all over my person. But the first three are legit. So here's your chance to break free of the gravitational pull of Planet Groupthink. Are you fine with Nate Schierholtz's disappearance? Don't mind Bochy's bullpen use? Here's your chance to let it out.

One that came up for me on that User Profile fanpost I started – the All-Star Game determining home field advantage for the World Series. Yeah, it’s arbitrary, and yeah, it was an overreaction to that stupid tied All-Star Game. But is it any more arbitrary than the old system of alternating every year? Nope.

Well, except that if you look at the history of the ASG, it runs in streaks, is it really fair to give a league the home field advantage in 23 of 24 years (the NL did something like that)

Just saying it’s fairer than letting one meaningless game decide something like a World Championship. Anyone else think that if the Giants had the Home Field in 2002 they’d have won it all? I do.
At least if it rotates, you might be able to have the advantage some time in your career.

Home-field advantage in the 2002 World Series was not determined by the All-Star Game.

Right, that was the year they tied. But, I’m just saying that the HF advantage is a big thing in a tight series to determine it for years on end (look at the ASG history) to one league’s advantage is way worse than what was done before.

Ganache or fudge frosting is the way to go. Buttercream is just gross.

You are ruining your pie. You are infesting the perfection of pie with masking agents. I can only guess that you are overly sensitive to deliciousness and are trying to tone it down. Much like a junky would cut their drugs with talc to reduce it’s effect.

Cobbler goes well with ice cream, but I’ve never thought that pie needed to be improved upon.

There’s meringue on other pies as well. And whipped cream on some. But if you think that pie filling is nothing like pie, I suggest you think again.
Yes, on the surface, filling is much more complex than frosting. But not all frosting is simply chocolate or butter cream, etc. That’s just the basic frosting. There’s also many with fruit in it, like strawberries.
Sure, pie filling is sometimes more complex. But think about chocolate cream pie or coconut cream pie filling. That’s basically frosting. Think about my favorite pie: Pecan. That filling is basically frosting. Simple and sweet.

I had a very bad Mexican food experience when I was on my honeymoon in the San Juan Islands. The otherwise reliable guidebook said a place was good, and I got chile rellenos, and it was a disaster.

Burritos/Mexican in the northeast is also in a sad state of affairs. I was surprised by how much good Mexican food there is in Chicago, though. Before I moved there I never realized the city had a long-established and large Mexican-American population.

When I lived in NYC I couldn’t even find a passable burrito, much less a good one. Every single one of them missed the mark soooo bad it was comical, like that time i had pizza, in London, with thick, chalky Bisquick crust.

I did mainly because I always thought (and still do) that Klesko was an asshole who complained all the time. In San Diego, he got on one teammate (who isn’t very fast) for not scoring on a base hit to right field thus preventing Klesko from getting an RBI.
by SFGuy on Apr 26, 2009 11:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wait...
If we’re thinking of the same game against the Giants a few years back, wasn’t it Klesko on 3rd and Phil Nevin who was bitchin’ and whinin’ because Klesko didn’t score on a ball hit to the outfield? That’s how I rememenber it.
I’ve actually read thigns about Klesko beig a pretty cool dude. He did a lot of community work in San Diego, especially with cancer kids, doing a lot of make-a-wish and buying tickets for the kids and their families. He was also a big supporter of law enforcement and was named an honorary deputy in Palm Beach, FL.

Oh, one more
I don’t really see get the fuss over the horror that is the Connecticut Defenders.
I usually hear three complaints:
1) Dodd is a very hitter-unfriendly park. True enough, but….so?
2) It’s a cold climate. Again, true. It’s a good thing the Giants are the only Major League franchise that have to suffer the consequences of having one minor league affiliate in a place where sometimes it gets cold, eh!?
3) It’s too far away. As opposed to the good old days when the AA club was right around the corner in Shreveport, Louisiana!?

I don’t think Dodd is responsible for our inability to develop hitters at all. I have no problem with having a minor league park that forces young players to learn to control their emotions and hit more line drives.

Line drives are always good, but they’re not everything. Power hitters, in particular, have a huge chunk of their value come from fly balls. And I don’t think that it’s a good idea to have a batter try to alter his swing just in order to adjust for a park that he’s never going to hit in again.

I like Renel because:
- Unlike Sherry Davis, she has a little personality (and a little soul) in her voice
- She really does love the Giants. Her excitement for the team is infectious and when she announces the starting line-up, I’m more likely to cheer each player because of her.
- She represents the team very well
- When my wife and her sister opened their business three years ago, they contacted her out of the blue at the radio station to see if she’d come. She took time on her day off to show up, speak in front of everyone who showed up and pose for pictures. After that, she hung out for a while and just chatted with folks. She was extremely cool and I will always be a fan of her’s.

I think Renel isn’t half bad and I love her enthusiasm for the team. However – and as a former PA and radio guy, I prefer the A’s Roy Steele. His voice sounds like single-malt Scotch and Cuban cigars and he still manages to get it up for the home team (not that I particularly like the A’s). Roy>Renel>just about everyone else.

Eugenio Velez has an option, so he’d be the most likely trim. But he’s useful to the team as well, even if his route running in the outfield induces the occasional myocardial infarction. (Let’s hope Eugenio never, ever decides on a second career as an air-traffic controller.)

It seems to have started a trend where many cities are at least expecting PARTIAL funding from the team. Since ballparks don’t add the value to a city that teams always make up, I’m glad the public is getting smart instead of giving away such ridiculous amounts of free cash to help line the pockets of some a rich minority. If the people pay for the whole ballpark, the people should be able to set a payroll floor and fire the management when they can’t deliver a winner. San Francisco got a great deal – a privately financed stadium that has drawn millions of fans every year and legitimately revitalized an entire neighborhood.

My only problem with Uribe being on the team is that I think Frandsen could do everything he does, but Frandsen would be much more interesting to watch. Plus, there’s a small chance Frandsen could be a decent starter, but not so much with Uribe.

No need for Frandsen to toil in a part-time Uribe role after missing all of last season. Burriss needs more seasoning, so hopefully the swap happens sometime in May.

I hate ESPN
now that all the major sports post all the highlights on their respective websites, there’s no reason to even watch other than for live sports. I like watching the Yanks/sox because it’s always a good game, because they’re always good teams. Jesus, do we want to watch Royals/Pirates instead? I do hate the way ESPN covers those games (like they’re the most important thing EVAR), but that doesn’t change that the games are still good and fun to watch. I hate the announcers though.
And on Uribe, since he was signed my one-sentence summation of how I feel on the subject has been “I fucking hate Juan Uribe”, and that ain’t gonna change any time soon. I guess I hate Bochy more for putting him on the team over Frandsen, but I also hate Uribe. I know he’s only a backup/util guy, but what’s the point of having him over Frandsen? I really don’t get that part.

That’s a good point about the at-bats. And as soon as an infielder gets injured or Burriss is sent down for sucking too much, we’ll see Frandsen get his chance. So I guess I’m not too upset about it, really.

Is he really a “good” defender at short? I thought he was crappy everywhere. Seems to me, if he could play an average shortstop and whack 15-20 homers, he’d be preferable for the minimum to Renteria for 9 mil.

MLB Network has opened my eyes to really bad announcers…
They played highlights from the Reds, I swear I was listening to a retard Jeff Passan! It made me hat Joe Buck less, but I still hat him. During the playoffs this year I saw a mastercard sign:
Tixs:250
Beer:$10
Not Listening to Joe Buck: Priceless
The main reason I hate Joe Buck is b/c he doesn’t love baseball, he would rather be a NFL announcer (I think he has admitted as much) and he actually isn’t that bad of a NFL anouncer (I don’t watch alot of football) I am rating that based on the fact that when his NFL games I don’t 1)puke in my mouth or 2)have to buy a new TV

There are technically worse announcers, but Buck always sounds like he’d rather be somewhere else, and so I don’t really get what he’s doing there.

in the list of NFL announcers, Buck is towards the top, but that ain’t saying much. We talked about this awhile ago- now that Madden’s gone, there are literally NO good football announcers. I really don’t like him, but Buck is at least watchable- most of the guys on fox require me to mute the sound. Dull and uninterested is better than, say, Dick Stockton, who always sounds drunk and confused.

Buck walks a fine line between conveying an air of dryness and conveying an air of disinterest. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dryness (I thought it worked well in those Leon commercials of his!) — I think Jon Miller is often dry, too. But his decision to maintain that dryness even when something exciting happens is a little unfortunate. I know about that quote of his but I still don’t think Buck doesn’t get excited simply because he doesn’t care. I think it’s a deliberate choice.

From Hank
On Henry Schulman’s blog:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/giants/detail?&entry_id=39158
Be careful what you tweet, Brian
Let me start this post by saying I am not Brian Wilson’s father. He is 27 years old and can spend his free time however he chooses. His personal life is just that, and I don’t make a habit of reporting on players’ extracurricular activities.
Now, if the players report it themselves . . .
Somebody alerted me to Wilson’s Twitter page. Unless somebody hijacked the page, we have to conclude the Giants’ closer was out very late Saturday night clubbing in Scottsdale. There are a couple of posts suggesting he was getting into it with what he called “overaggressive males.” His last post of the night is stamped “about 22 hours ago,” in other words, 1 a.m. Sunday.
Which would not have worth mentioning except that the Giants played a day game today. In that game, Wilson could not throw fastballs where he wanted and lost a 4-1 lead in the ninth for his first blown save of the season. The Giants ended up losing in the 12th, 5-4.
A word of caution, Brian. Fans notice this stuff.

Velez
I still like the guy. Post All Star break last year .310 BA w/ .781 OPS. A few game winning hits during those fun last couple months. I’m not big at searching old threads but after a game winning triple last year I would bet we could find some of the McCoven who routinely dog the guy typing in a EEEEUUUUGENIOOOO or two in a gameday thread!!
And today he showed us again that he’s ultrasmoove with that jump hook fly ball snag in center field. He didn’t misjudge that ball at all. He’s just trying to infuse some style. Pretty soon all the cool centerfielders will be doing it.
Actually his horriffic fielding is part of why I kinda dig the guy. He’s probably not for long in the big leagues but he has provided some memories. I actually think he has the potential to establish himself as a hitter in the league but his defense will never allow that to happen.

than Fox’ stupid Sat. mandatory Yankee and/or Sux game.
ESPN, as has been mentioned, is in Connecticut, so all those folks pretending that nothing much happens outside the TriState area isn’t much of a shocker. It’s not unique to baseball at all… if it weren’t for U$C they’d never show college football highlights from states west of Texas.
They didn’t ask Bud to sign an agreement forcing the 26 AAAA teams to play games on Sat. PM if they wanted TV revenues.
I watch quite a few Yanks games on Extra Innings, and I like Kay/Singleton just fine. I miss Rizzuto and Murcer, but that’s the way it goes.

Bochy doesn’t bug me nearly as much as everyone else.
About 80% of the dumb things he does are the same dumb things every manager does. A lot of our other crits of him are with the benefit of hindsight.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.

Yeah, but I wish he’d straight steal more instead of sac bunting a guy to 2nd. Let the guy steal 2nd and then bunt him to 3rd.

is it just me or doesn’t this seem like the philosophy this team should’ve realized back in spring training, when they found out they have no offense.

I don't understand
what the point of keeping Torres and Burriss (and until today, Velez) on the roster if this isn’t going to happen. Also, Unrated stole a lot more bases last year than I remember.
Then again, as long as they’re winning I won’t grouse too loud.

so sick
of teams that are outs factories volunteering more outs.
the only small ball that works is stealing at a high success rate and having the patience to work wear out pitchers and take walks.

Too true. It’s only the player-development stuff that I can’t forgive: disappearing Schierholtz, working the young starters too hard, etc.

If it was only ESPN with a Red Sox/Yankee fixation, I wouldn’t mind. In fact, I like the Red Sox. But I don’t like them forced fed to me by FOX on Saturday afternoons.
I want to decide which baseball games I want to watch. That doesn’t sound like too much to ask for.

NO
And this is what I hate most in the entire world of baseball. There is nothing I hate more than not being able to watch Saturday day games that don’t involve the Yankees/Red Sox/Cubs/Cardinals/Mets. I want to be able to watch the game in the afternoon and then go out and get smashed after we win.

this pisses me off more than anything
i pay over a hundred bucks a year for this service, and the last couple years i’ve been deployed overseas a lot of the season. so when i get back to the seattle area, i want to watch the fucking giants, like i payed for, and it’s blacked to try to force me to watch the the worst announcers in baseball call a yankees/twins or dodgers/pirates on a saturday afternoon. this is not a pet peeve, this is a major fucking annoyance.

I guess since we’re all sharing…
I am obsessed with Sandy Koufax. Ever since I read his biography A Lefty’s Legacy, I’ve been fascinated by him. His talent was unreal. Sure he was a good for nothing bastard Dodger but he was one of those once in a lifetime pitchers.
Probably not the best thing to share as we embark on the first home Dodger series of the season.

If Koufax had pitched for twenty years most would regard him as the greatest of all time. As it stands, yes, Marichal.

I find him fascinating in large part because he did so much in such a short time.

On the one hand
Yes. Park effects. AND era. His years of greatness came in Dodger stadium from 1963-1966. That’s a very slanted playing field.
On the other hand, he was absolutely phenomenal. Fantastically phenomenal.

His peak was great, but it just wasn’t the historical anomaly it’s been made out to be. Guys like Marichal, Martinez, and Maddox had similar, arguably better peaks.

I would agree on both Martinez and Maddux having better peaks. You’re talking about two future hall of famers; two of the best pitchers ever, though.
I think I disagree on Marichal’s peak. Of course, Marichal had the better career.

Coincidentally, Joe Posnanski just addressed the question of who had the more dominant peak, Maddux or Pedro, on his blog. It’s actually a short entry, for him. He didn’t do much more than just put up the numbers side-by-side. His basic thinking: Maddux was more durable, Pedro more dominant.

On the radio this morning Kruk and Murph were discussing the similarities in style/size between Timmy and Pedro, which was cool. Pedro at his late-90s peak was as close to untouchable as any pitcher that I’ve been alive to watch.
One of these seasons Timmy’s gonna rip off a string of starts where he’s just unhittable. He has moments like that already.

1. Ishikawa has not proven himself able to hit his way out of a paper bag. We’re lucky he’s not benched against RHP too.
2. ESPN – I don’t complain about the home shopping network or the food network either. That’s why we have 500 channels. Although in the pre internet (or godforbid you were sans wireless) it sucked to try to follow the Giants away from the Bay Area.
3. Juan Uribe: How quickly we forget Neifi Perez, Ray Sanchez, etc.
4. AJ – the proverbial dead horse.
Things that don’t bug me: Bochy. He’s a manager, and an old school one. Whatever.
Things that bug me: Insistence of people on MCC to ascribe a cause to every single little effect , slamming every “move” that fails. Hitters fail. Pitchers fail. Great teams lose 40% of the their games, for no particular reason. Shit happens, have a whiskey before bed and hope they win tomorrow.
