Post-Game Fun Chatter!

PrintQuick thoughts, bullet point-style...
- The Giants will not average ten runs a game this season. Nine, tops.
- I had no idea that Jeremy Affeldt threw 95+. He's nasty. And if I know that Joey Martinez threw 90/91 MPH, I would have been much more excited about him, prospect-wise. I got Romoed. (The opposite verb -- in which you were led to believe a prospect threw much harder -- is Foppertated)
- We'll give Bruce Bochy guff if he orders the wrong pizza toppings, so it's only fair to praise him when he does something right. There was no reason to send Lincecum back out for the fourth inning, even if the long relief option was Ramon Ortiz. Opening Day and 110 pitches don't mix, and there wasn't a lot of evidence to suggest that Lincecum was suddenly going to settle down and have three ten-pitch innings.
- You think you're funny, meteorologists? You get a kick out of messing with our minds? You sick, wind-blown freaks.
- Alex Hinshaw shouldn't break it off with his Fresno girlfriend just yet. Great stuff, but he's only a season removed from having absolutely no control instead of last year's pretty bad control.
- Brian Wilson's mohawk mullet tuft peeking out of the back of his cap? The jury's still out on that one.
- Do the Brewers give contract bonuses for stupid beards?
Ugly game. Great win.

Okay, what was wrong with Lincecum, for those of us who didn’t see the game? Just opening-day jitters, right?
Yeah, I would say so. His velocity was fine and he still got plenty of swingthroughs, so I’m not concerned yet. There’s talk of a blister though, which I really hope isn’t true.

I'm worried
This game as well as his warm up game vs the A’s last week has me a bit concerned. Quite a few of his pitches missed high in both of these games and his location on a lot of his pictches seemed to miss Molina’s target. sure he got his Ks but that may have to do with the batters expecting the normal Lincecum stuff, I am afraid that if he continues to throw like this the league will figure out he is not right and he will start walking hitters in bunches.
So, is there going to be a televised Wrap now in the post game show?

Quick thoughts:
- Goddammit, I love baseball. I think I love baseball more than I ever did. I just enjoyed every single player today. I loved it when Ishikawa and Lewis were working the count, I loved it when Sandoval was hacking (though the strike out on the pitch at his eyes was ugly), I loved it when Rowand, Molina, and Winn crushed the ball, I loved it when Burriss managed to get on base, I loved it when Renteria handled the tough plays, I loved it that Lincecum still managed to strike people out on what was clearly a bad day, I loved seeing Martinez, Medders, Affeldt, and Howry for the first time, I loved it that Hinshaw still has a stupid hat and no control, I loved it when Wilson threw 100MPH to finish the game. I love it that, for what feels like the first time in years, I’m actually excited about this season, and that when we win, I’m just happy about the win, without having to think about draft picks. I love it that, at least for now, I can dream about the playoffs without feeling like a moron.
- That is all.

GREAT Game
The Giants outside of Lincecum played well today. If we can win in an outing where Lincecum only goes three innings then that is a great sign my friends. Timmy was thrown off by the idiotic order of our pre-game ceremonies when Captain Sully threw out the first pitch when Timmy should have been warming up.
Bengie couldn’t throw out a runner to save his life, and actually wasn’t close on a single throw down to second. That could be a major problem if that persists, the Brewers don’t exactly have speed demons on the basepaths either. He did hit a bomb, and came inches of hitting two, so that was nice to see.
Ishi getting off to a roaring start with the clutch bases-clearing triple! Every Giant including Lincecum gets a hit, with the exception of Manny.
Great game, weather cleared up perfectly, fans were typically lame and left in 7th and 8th innings, but what do you expect?
GO GIANTS nice to get a W on Opening Day!

Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
Don’t blame Benjie. As Krukow was saying yesterday and again this morning on KNBR, Lincecum gets so focused on the K when he gets to two strikes that he forgets to even check the runner. He also pointed out that martinez wasn’t mixing up his timing and was very easy to read and get a jump on.

Here you guys go. A sneak preview for an update on my site tomorrow.
You can see that Lincecum really had some problems with fastball control. Most of his FB’s were way up in the zone. He had better luck with his changeup. There’s some missing data from Pitchf/x, so this doesn’t tell the whole story, but I think it paints a pretty good picture of Lincecum’s first start this year.
Looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to more JOEY MARTINEZ as well.

Had a ball at the yard today. I’m so glad they play Bye Bye baby when the Giants take the field.
Tim looked bad and that worried me. Everything was missing up. But it’s just a weird day because the Giants were hitting home runs.
TI looked great at the plate all day. Not just the hitting with the triple and that opposite field hit off Hardy’s glove, but his plate presence is coming along.
Sandoval is ridiculous. But we knew that.
So proud of Joey Martinez. The bullpen threw very well except for when Martinez hiccuped and Hinshaw pitched himself into trouble.
Seats were great, in the lower box with BruteSentiment and his padre. A great time with friends and baseball.

I’m going with the theory that Timmy’s rhythm was thrown off by a) the long Opening Day pre-game festivities and b) the fact that the team probably wasn’t even sure it was going to be playing this game when they looked out the window at 10 this morning. Apparently the on-time start was a relatively last-minute decision, so perhaps Lincecum’s warmup routine was truncated.
I’ll talk myself into that version of events until he gets shelled by the Padres on the Sunday. Then I’ll freak out.
My plans for 2009: getting married and attending Tim Lincecum Bobblehead Day.
Personally, I’m surprised anytime any pitcher has a good outing his first time out. The first two weeks of the season are absolutely littered with awful pitching performances while guys get themselves out of Spring Training, I think hitters have a much easier time of getting into rhythm early in the season.

We had fun too. It took us eons to get home, but we were glad we were driving through the thunder and rain, and not sitting in it at the ballpark.
There were a LOT of people dressed as empty seats for Opening Day and, as someone else said people were leaving in the 7th inning. (Thankfully that included the drunk obnoxious people sitting behind us (who showed up drunk in 4th.) We decided all these literal fair weather fans must immediately surrender their season tickets to real fans.
We were happy to see everyone hitting. Some of the play in the field was sloppy, but we watched them take the tarp off before the game and dump tons of water onto the outfield grass, so maybe some of the bobbles and whoopsies were due to field conditions. Lincecum seemed hyped up, how was his first start last year?
Oh, and what happened to the fly over?
If you walked up to a Vegas sports book before today’s game and asked, “Can I get odds on the Giants hitting three homers today and the Brewers hitting zero?”, and they said yes, what would the odds have been?
100-1?
And if you also wanted to bet one of those homers came from Winn, would you get 1,000-1 odds?

“Giants ace Tim Lincecum lasted just three innings, which ties for the shortest first start by the reigning Cy Young Award winner. Sandy Koufax went three innings in his first start in 1966, but then went on to win the Cy Young that year anyway.”
Book it, Timmy goes back to back Cy Youngs.
My impression of a Yankee fan:
Timmy’s a bum, clearly a one-hit wonder, get him out of here, doesn’t deserve the honor of starting for one of the most storied franchises in baseball!
Wall-E for Best Picture 2008
Just finished watching the game. What a great start for the offense. The vets that struggled during ST all had good days. We managed to get a few walks and showed some power.

and Suppan completely shut us down when we saw him in spring training. That’s another reason why today’s explosion was such a pleasant surprise.

Lincecum proved to be unintentionally amusing as he expressed his intent to maintain perspective.
“I’ll try to take it with a grain of rice and move on,” he said.
Rice?

I don’t really think about it.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
Chatterbalks dot com: Still with jokes. Now with updates.
Remember
Even in the “good” days when the Giants had Bonds and Kent (and others), they would score 10 runs one day and then score zero or one the next. Wednesday night could prove disappointing (aka same ol’, same ol’).
Something telle me that not scoring many runs after scoring lots of runs is fairly common. Averaging 4+ runs a game doesn’t just happen by scoring 4-5 runs every single game.

But more to the point, there’s no reason to even be a fan if even the victories make you think “Well this is just gonna suck tomorrow.”
If I can’t enjoy a win because of something that might happen the next day, why pay attention at all?

I didn’t say they were going to lose. Johnson could throw 8 shutouts innings, Wilson gets the save and they win 1-0
And I’d be perfectly satisfied with that

GROUGTHINK ALERT
Chatterbalks dot com: Still with jokes. Now with updates.
I tend to think the team get more out of today’s game than just one win.
Through ST and yesterday , they’re proving to themselves that:
- They can score runs in bunches
- They can get production from all over the lineup, so no one has to carry the team on his shoulders
- They don’t need dominant pitching to win
- The bullpen is less likely to waste a good effort by the starter or the offense
- They can give up a lead and get it back
Sure they could get blanked this evening, but I think this is is much better than last year’s. Calling it “same ol’, same ol’” is hardly fare.
My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman
Absolutely
And like you said in a different thread, this is going to be a really fun year one way or another. Last season I was mostly interested in watching our big 3 of young starters, but now I’m really excited to watch Lewis, Pablo, Ishi and Manny, and see what they can do in the lineup. There’s a lot to look forward to

No no, fare like bus fare.
He’s saying that calling it “same ol’ same ol’” won’t get you anywhere.
Meet my new son: Sundrendy Windster, coming soon to a minor league near you.
They can score runs in bunches
They had 10 run games last year too. Every team has them. I’m sure the 1962 Mets had them.
They can get production from all over the lineup, so no one has to carry the team on his shoulders
They proved this with one game? I know you said ST too, but that doesn’t make sense either, since some parts of the lineup were terrible in ST (Rowand, Winn).
They don’t need dominant pitching to win
To occasionally win a game, no, they don’t. But if they’re planning to have more wins than losses, then yeah, they really do.
The bullpen is less likely to waste a good effort by the starter or the offense
I agree with the statement, but I don’t think that anyone needed yesterday’s game to prove it to him. And really, we didn’t prove anything. Had the bullpen had a bad spring and/or had blown yesterday’s game, would you have said that they proved that they can’t hold on to a lead?
They can give up a lead and get it back
I’m not sure what that means.
Yeserday was great, but it really was just one game.
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
Oh yeah, that’s sort of what I was getting at in a fairly roundabout way. There’s this way of making yourself a victim over something completely not out of the ordinary. It’s not normal to score 10 runs in a game. It is perfectly normal for scoring to fluctuate wildly from day to day. Getting worked up over the perfectly normal thing takes the fun out of the thing that doesn’t happen that often.

They have just as much a chance of scoring ten runs today as they did yesterday before the game. Go Giants!
possibly slightly better
if the Brewers’ #2 pitcher is worse (or the G’s match up better) than their #1.

Turning 3 Dp’s was real encouraging.
I can’t recall the last game the Giants turned more than 2 twin killings but I would be surprised if it has been more than the last 2 years. The team only had 97 DP’s with a SS last year. And to think Rentawreck was part of all 3 of them.
Where is my beer & chili dog?
Hey
If the Brewers can score six in a Lincecum game, then I think that the Giants should be able to match that against Gallardo.
"Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense."
Only [hella] games left until the end of Zito's contract.
Adoptive father of "Poncho" Villalona: This Angel don't fly. Nothing about him is light.

I was treating it like it’s a fixed probability independent of the pitcher based on the hitters’ averages (spherical cow anyone?). Probably an oversimplification.
On the pitching note I was over on the Brewers’ SB Nation site and they have a very good writeup of yesterday’s game with a preview of today’s. We have some really young pitcher coming against us today that everyone (over there) seems to agree is better than Suppan but the Brewers’ brass didn’t want him having the pressure of an opening day start.
Gallardo is fantastic
also: I have him in fantasy. But I’m willing to take the hit if we score 10 more
Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, hacker extraordinaire
Thanks to roger
I have Manny Parra who’s going tomorrow against Cain Thursday. Conflict of interest!
But yeah Gallardo is great. Tonight’s game is going to be a hell of a matchup.

When our 8 position players don’t strike out more then they walk weird things like this happen.
Other thing is props to Big Head for be sensible with Tim. It makes rooting for this team much more enjoyable knowing they are not trying to turn him into the next Mark Fidrych.

my opening day experience
Went to the game yesterday…my first opening day…
Got to the city at 10 to soak it all in, went to momo’s and it was still pouring (not surprised given the forecasts), so I looked up weather channel on my phone, the hourly forecast said 100% precipitation from 1-5.
At that point, I was worried, so I e-mailed my journalist friend that was in the press box, asked him to tell the higher-ups that calling today’s game off was not OK, and they need to make it stop raining bc I wouldn’t be able to go on Wednesday.
Apparently it worked, because somehow, miraculously, for the 3.5-4 hours of game time, there was almost no rain at all. fantastic.
Needless to say, my first opening day after that was awesome…Outside of Timmy’s struggles, everyone was great. I’m a new giants fan (my 3rd season following baseball), and for the first time I have genuine excitement for THIS team, THIS season.
I love baseball, I wish I was going back tonight to see the Unit, and I wish I hadn’t left my damn calendar on BART! Oh..and I love Pablo.
Anyway, the point is, you guys have me to thank for the game being played and playable
Run like hell
You better make your face up,
In your favorite disguise,
With your button-down lips,
And your strike out blind eyes.
With your empty smile,
And your hungry heart,
Feel the bile rising,
From the Giants’ past.
With your nerves in tatters,
As the cockleshell shatters,
And the Giants’ batters,
Strand the runners,
You better run.
On a more serious note, welcome to Giants’ fandom!

did anyone notice that he was wearing a very sun faded hat? He wore it in the OAK game the other night as well. Kinda surprised that is allowed.

SFGate Comment of the Day
If the Giants expect a winning season, they’d better play Aurillia at 3B and put that other lummox away from the action. My Lab, Jack, can handle ground balls better than that clown. He would be better backing up Benjie, but please, keep him out of the infield.
A winning season with Aurilia at 3rd? LOL. I did notice some balls sticking to Sandoval’s glove but that was not even close to enough to have me wish for Richie starting at 3rd every day.
You know what I noticed?

Sorry I like laughing at the other side
Call me a masochist or something, but the comments always crack me up.
The reason why this team is different from years past is that they have no cancerous personalities at all. There isn’t an insecure Bonds or a high blood pressured Kent. There aren’t “I’d like to say all the right things” cookie cutters like Ray Durham. This team finally got rid of such players.
Bonds insecure? Lumping Durham with the “cancerous” personalities? Whatever.

Seriously, what’s up with Lincecum and Wilson’s new hair styles? I know Timmy wants to look more mature but he looked like that guy from V For Vendetta without the mask.
And Wilson? Seems like a squirrel crawled onto his head and he just wore his hat over it exposing its tail.
