Mets Take Game One: Post-Game Recap
by Grant Brisbee on May 14, 2009 10:29 PM PDT
Email
PrintLet's see...
- Mercurial young starter has erratic game
- Runners left all over the bases
- Blown call leads to game-winning run
- Lack of concentration from the closer leads to 74 stolen bases and three earned runs
- Starting shortstop is hurt
- Gary Sheffield doesn't catch his uniform in the gears of a turbine
- Jackface from 2002 comes in to save the game, causing several post-trauma seizures across the Bay Area
Let us never speak of this game again.

Wilson is a douchebag
Thank god it’s Lincecum day tomorrow
He did look Benitez-esque, without the balks of course. Worst memory ever
Not so proud adoptive parent of the set-up man.
This is definitely not Howry do it!
I am reminded more and more
of A’s-era Jason Isringhausen. At the end of the season, the stats say “Saves=40”. But every one of those things involves walks, wild pitches, loading up bases only to get a standing O for getting out of a jam- that the closer creates for himself.
I don’t like every strategy from Moneyball, but Wilson (and Benitez) are good examples of guys that bring more than they are worth in trades.

It’s okay you guys, Brian Wilson just can’t pitch unless it’s the 9th inning and he has between a 1 and 3 run lead. A tie game in the 9th inning just isn’t high enough leverage for him.

sooner or later Bochy will figure out that Wilson isn’t the same pitcher in a non save situation. That’s totally Wilson’s fault, not Bochy’s, but Bochy should know this by now. Wilson’s not the only closer with this problem, but he’s one of the worst. Why did you pay all that money for Howry and Affeldt if you can’t trust them late in a tie game? Howry has more or less shown that he can’t be trusted, but Affeldt looks pretty damn good to me. He should have had the ball in the ninth. Pitch a scoreless ninth, and you get the erratic Sean Green instead of KRod, and you probably win the game.

I think you're giving Brucie too much credit
If he ain’t detected that by now, it is hard to see why he ever would. Mere repetition doesn’t educate if he has some sort of blockage to learning.

He is spinning his wheels with walks, runs and few innings. Expected more. Received less. A few more of these and Sadler may merit a look-see.

Sadler could very easily start four games and have his team lose all four games as Sanchez has done recently. And the Giants wouldn’t skip a beat.
So because the Giants lost the last four games Sanchez has started (including one in which he pitched five innings and gave up zero earned runs), we should assume that anyone is better than him?
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
And does that person have a chance to be as good in the future as Sanchez could be? He needs to be starting in the majors to try to work his issues out. If he can’t, then oh well. If he can, then good. This is exactly why we have a 5th starter spot.

The Sheffield AB was pathetic. He managed to throw one fastball right down the middle, but not a single one of the balls was even close.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
I was thinking that was maybe an “unintentional intentional” walk, to set up the DP. Actually would’ve liked him to walk Wright too. Of course, then Wilson would probably have walked Tatis to force in the winning run, then given up the 2-run single to Castro.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
none of his secondary pitches were anywhere close to the strike zone most of the night.

And nice first pitch weak pop up by Rowand to end the game. Jackass.

It’s stupid that Wilson can’t be counted on in non-save situations, but a smart manager would recognize it and bring in someone else in the 9th.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
I don't really think so
If he can only pitch in one specific situation in one specific inning, he’s useless. This is the year to see if he can be a decent pitcher. Other than occasionally bringing in Wilson when it’s not close but technically a rulebook save situation, I have no problem with how Wilson is being handled.
His failures are on him and him alone. And we need to see him have those failures if we’re going to know what he is.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
Chatterbalks dot com: Still with jokes. Now with updates.
what more do you need to find about him? I think he’s proven to them he’s a good closer. They’re not looking to replace him any time soon. Someone just needs to get into his head that he has to bring it everytime out, no matter the score.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
If he can’t bring it with the game on the line just because the team doesn’t have a 1-3 run lead, that’s a load of crap. That’s still a game-on-the-line situation.
Frankly, I think if it had been a save situation last night, he would have blown it. I really think this is less of a “Brian Wilson didn’t bring it cuz it wasn’t a save situation” kind of thing and more of a “Brian Wilson has poor control and lets runners get on base a lot” kind of thing.
Really, what part of “tied game that NEEDS to fucking stay tied” isn’t the kind of situation a closer can get jacked for?
Brian Wilson is not always bad. Sometimes he’s very, very good. But his control comes and goes and he’s completely erratic. I think we’ll see some actual blown saves before its all over.

yes, but how many closers are true lock down closers in this day and age? Not only that, but the handful that are, now make more than 10 million per year like Mariano and KRod do. Brian Wilson is definitely in the next tier after that, and he makes 500K. He’s the closer, pure and simple. He’s not losing his job, and they won’t be looking for a replacement in the FA or trade market, no matter how many times he blows up in non save situations. I agree with you that he should always pitch with the game on the line attitude whether it’s a save situation or not, and it drives me crazy that he doesn’t. Someone needs to get in his face and talk to him about it.

Why?
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
because he’s one of the better closers in the game right now and he makes a minimum salary. Why would they be looking to replace him? They’ll eventually have to stop using him in non save situations, but they’ll live with that. If he starts to blow saves that would be one thing, but he’s young and he’s good, and the Giants’ have alot more pressing problems than a closer who can only close.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
Wilson is above average, but far from elite. He’s not even top-10 – Rivera, Lidge, Broxton, Nathan, Papelbon, Jenks, Valverde, Soria, Qualls (first year as full time closer, but he’s been great the past two years), and Fuentes are all better.
He’s a pretty good player, a great one to have for free, but really shouldn’t be considered untouchable. The way it’s looking, Bumgarner and Alderson are both going to make the majors relatively soon. Assuming Lincecum, Cain, and Zito are still with us by then, that would leave only two open spots for Bumgarner, Alderson, and Sanchez. Best case scenario, in my opinion, would be to move Alderson or Sanchez (Basically depending on how well Sanchez performs as a starter this year) to the closer’s role, and trade Wilson for a bat.

the Ishikawa-GTFO bandwagon.
The guy whiffed on meatball after meatball… Had a chance to get a walk to load the bases, but because he presses too much, he decides to swing at some garbage and strikes out. It’s mid-May and he’s still playing like crap… I say it’s about time to give up on this experiment.
by AmorVincitOmnia on May 14, 2009 11:07 PM PDT up reply actions
How did he play like crap today?
He hit 3 line drives today(1 of which should have been a home run), which is really all you can ask for
...
“He hit 3 line drives today”
So when a player hits a line drive foul, he’s doing good?
It’s not that he had a bad game, it’s that he’s had a horrible year. He had a chance to gain some ground by drawing a walk to load the bases, but continued to press. The fact that he is not showing signs of improvement in patience is why I’m pissed.
I’ve seen him hit plenty of line drives this year, this doesn’t impress me. Maybe if they went over the fence or found a hole, I’d care a little more. But just hitting line drives that are caught is the excuse of just about every major leaguer who didn’t make it.

Wow!
I didn’t see the game, so I might not be one to talk, but this seems a bit of an overreaction. Sure, you rather see the guy walk than strike out, but even then, he would have just loaded the bases.
I am pissed that Sandoval, Molina, Winn, and Lewis all failed to collect consecutive hits. I think they should all be released. Oh, and what about Sandoval going 1 for 5?

Travis Ishikawa is having a horrible year and, honestly, it’s the middle of May now. He had a couple “nice” games (where he hit a couple of singles… whooo POWER FROM THE FIRST BASEMAN!) but I think it’s getting to the point where we have to do something about our first base production and badly.

I would send down Velez, DFA Aurilia, and bring up Frandsen and Guzman. But that’s also what I would have started the year with, so obviously I don’t know anything.

Bochy totally blew that scenario. He could have sent Nate to the plate as a bluff, forcing Manuel to go to the lefty (Feliciano) in the bullpen. That way, he at least gets the matchup with Aurilia against a lefty and Rich has at least a chance. If Manuel doesn’t make the move, then he calls back Nate anyway if he was truly not available. At least show you have a pulse, Bochy.

Also, according to Mario canon, the only reason why Wario is the way he is is because Mario was a dick to him when they were kids. So maybe in reality, Mario is the true villain in the series. Whoa.

The Giants were not as horrible as the team that went 3-8 to start the season, and not as good as the team that went 15-6 after that.
They have good pitching but their hitting is a disgrace. Right now, they have the third fewest runs scored in the league, but they have benefitted from a hot streak. They will eventually sink to last in the league in runs scored, just as they are last in the NL in:
- Doubles
- Home runs
- RBIs (lots of runs scored via GIDP’s, wild pitches, passed balls and errors)
- Walks
- Slugging Percentage
- OPS
- Number of Pitches
The Giants’ pythagorean was 16-17 going into tonight. It’s early, but I think that’s about right.
Giants look like a .500 team to me.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
.500, as in
They can beat the bad teams and they can’t beat the good teams, and lucky for them there are a bunch of bad teams in the NL.

Anyone still listening to KNBR on the net? The MMR shops ad “…in the alley next to the Hooters…” with the horrible sound quality, is the most annoying ad ever.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Sanchez (from Henry Schulman)
“…Sanchez is the kind of pitcher who can be very difficult to hit when he is on but prone to distraction and wildness. One Mets person said, “So, he’s like the Giants’ Oliver Perez.” That is not really a compliment."
Increasingly, though, it seems like the spot-on truth.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Oh god it’s true.

Ahem.
To elaborate. You receive an object. That’s good. But the object is cursed. That’s bad. But it comes with a free frogurt. And that’s good. But the frogurt is also cursed and that’s bad. However, you get your choice of toppings, which is good. The toppings, unfortunately, contain potassium benzoate. Apparently, not a good thing.
Brian Wilson is the curse, the curse, and the potassium benzoate.

Have you tried IE8? It’s actually not bad, they took a lot of features from popular Firefox addons (most notably Firebug) and integrated them with the browser, plus they have a developing addon community of their own now.

Dunno if it's been pointed out
but each member of the starting rotation has given up exactly 4 runs in his last start. Not really a fun fact but I just thought I’d mention it.

It's sad
The Giants lost and gave up 7 runs that didn’t have either Jose Reyes or Carlos Delgado in the lineup.
Saturday's TV games
NYM-SF: 67% Everybody gets this except those listed in the other games.

They love them some Rangers! Maybe it’s because GWB (the ex-pres, not the bridge) threw out the first pitch.
