Post-Game Thread: More Road Humiliation
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 20, 2009 7:06 PM PDT

PrintThis was a good game for the Giants. More after the jump.
Follow the logic:
...if this team stinks -- and the team I just watched most certainly did stink -- then they shouldn't trade away any young players for deadline help
...if Jonathan Sanchez is one of the aforementioned young players who could be traded away -- and he pitched another beautiful, controlled game tonight -- then it behooves the team to stink while he pitches well
...then yeah, I don't even believe this.
Arrfafggh. Sanchez is a bright spot. The offense gets a special pat on the back for scoring more than one run, bully for them!, but it's pretty bleak in the top half of these road games. Romo's ERA, now at 6.59, is a prime example of why ERA is almost useless for relievers. He's been awful in his last few appearances, but he's still throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters. He's still a good pitcher. I hope.

I was happy with his performance. He made two mistakes all game and that was it. Unfortunately, those two mistakes were homers.
That being said, it didn’t matter in the end that the mistakes were homers, because the bullpen gave up eight runs. So even if he gave up zero they still would have lost.

I’m not sure I can trust the Dodger feed speed gun. What I think are fastballs are 80-82. What I thought was a changeup was 81.
I thought it was a homerun. I thought it went off the advertisement sign above the fence.

Rockies are leading the D-Bags 10-1, so it looks like we’ll be losing the wild card lead. Not that we deserve it, the way we’ve been playing lately. 1 run, then no runs, then 4, then 3, and losing 3 out of 4 to start the road trip. Hopefully TBS can eke one out tomorrow.

If they made a desperation trade they’d be morons, since the Dodgers have all but clinched the best record in the NL.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Do they, or is that just conventional wisdom? They have two excellent starting arms, a great bullpen and one of the best offenses in the NL. They’ve been by far the best team in the regular season – why would that change in the post-season?
I mean, sure, if a good arm were available cheap, why not, but that won’t happen (I hope).
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
I think (hope?) their bullpen is in for some serious trouble in the second half – they get used like a rented mule. Not that I expect to win the west or anything (or realistically get into the playoffs), but I think they will be ragged come October.

PS3’s are awesome, what games do you have?
Chris Dominguez: Bringing dingerz back to The Bay (In a while)
I only remember he told me:
Tiger Woods
Some UFC thing
and he’s playing The Show atm
he didn’t like the car one he got…
I know he used to play Grand Theft Auto on the computer, I dunno what car games they make
The Show is addicting, good luck with that
Chris Dominguez: Bringing dingerz back to The Bay (In a while)
Something weird I've noticed
the timing in this game is way different on an HDTV and a standard TV. Hitting is way too hard in HD, but on a standard definition TV it’s a lot more natural (even though the picture comparatively sucks). Anybody know why this might be?

HDTVs have a lot of lag inherent
which is why games like Rock Back require a lot of time spent calibrating them before you can even begin to play. I’m not sure how you could fix it in a game without calibration though.

It seems like all the teams that play the Rockies and Dodgers just shit all over themselves and suck. And every team that plays the Giants are “playing their best baseball right now”.

Baggs just put up the post game story
Pretty much conceded Bowker going to be sent down.
My prediction on today’s roster move: John Bowker back to Triple-A Fresno.
Bowker had a rough first few games but began to have better at-bats and show the patience that helped him become a force in the Pacific Coast League. I’d imagine the Giants were encouraged by what they’ve seen, but not overwhelmed enough to designate Fred Lewis or Travis Ishikawa or release Rich Aurilia. (Teams seldom subtract from their organizational inventory until they’re absolutely backed into a corner.)
Unless he’s needed to replace an injured player, Bowker could return in 10 days. That happens to be July 31, which happens to be the non-waiver trade deadline. At some point, I’ve got to believe a trade – perhaps Lewis, whom the Cleveland Indians have liked him in the past — is going to free up a more permanent spot for Bowker on the roster.
This all assumes Bowker is actually the guy getting tapped on the shoulder Tuesday to make room for No.5 starter Ryan Sadowski. And I can’t say that for certain. Trades can materialize in an instant, and Aaron Rowand is day-to-day, too.
he’s an obvious choice. too bad, though. He deserves hundred or two at bats this year to show what he can do at this level. If he was right handed, Aurilia would be gone.

Trading Fred to the Indians would break my heart, but they have some interesting prospects. I wonder what would come over in such a deal.

Realistically
I doubt the Indians would want Lewis. They have Francisco, Choo, and Sizemore, and LaPorta stuck in the minors. If they did though, I would love to get Cabrera since the Indians have Peralta for SS, and Barfield and Valbuena for second

If the Mariners can get two decent prospects in return for Yuniesky Betancourt, I think the Giants can get something pretty decent for Lewis.

Also, he made it sound like Johnson will miss significant time
Possibly done for the year. If that’s the case, we are more than 2 pieces away and should just stand pat this year and hope to get lucky. We won’t win without 2 bats + Randy Johnson.
This might be it folks.
damn it
I really wanted to see how insane our rotation would be with the new Sanchez and a healthy Johnson(TWSS).
Well fuck.
I was really hoping to cement the Johnson Blanks Embarrassment by having him go something like 12 – 5 for the year.

He has like 24 PA! This is absolutely ridiculous. I may boycott the team for a while if Bowker is sent down. That would be one of the stupidest moves of Sabean’s season.

FOr the Current Reigning King Stupid Move of the Stupid moves it is realy hard to beat the Frandsen sent down then 2 days later Burriss is set down.
That tops the accidentaly DFA the seem to do every year as well.
That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.
has lewis been playing at all lately? i’d be sad to see him go, he was certainly one of my favorite players last year.

wild pitch
Kurt Suzuki couldn’t find it as it rolled to the backstop. The runner tries to score from second and on a close play gets called out. On replay, he was clearly safe though.
Cuddyer was totally safe. it wasn’t even that close. blown call.
