Hate

I was going to write a long, in-depth piece that compared Kevin Frandsen's minor league career to the minor league careers of the top 15 major league second basemen, but my internet connection went down. Then it went back up. Then back down. Then up. Now, as of 11:00 a.m., it's down. So I'll have to make do with a research-free post, or as I like to call them, a "typical and ordinary weekday post." I'll summarize the point of the canceled post in a sentence: Because Brian Roberts didn't have have the numbers that Frandsen did in the upper minors, science says that Frandsen will have a better major league career.
It's probably for the best, though, as my heart wasn't really in a pseudo-research mode. Today, my heart is full of hate. The All-Star break was long, and during the entire break, I was allowed to fantasize about a playoff-bound Giants team. They would have made it if the season ended at the break, of course. I hate that I was duped, bamboozled, and possibly even hornswoggled. This team, as presently assembled, is a reaaaaal stinker.
After the jump, there's more hate.
I hate that of the three left-handed hitting corner outfielders on the roster, I'm still not sure if any of them will ever be worth a starting role. I want closure.
I hate that Jason Marquis has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. Seriously, that's really annoying. Let's go with Occam's Razor here. What's more likely: a) that Jason Marquis pitches well in Coors Field and the Rockies go on their second historic 40-game run in less than two years, or b) the Rockies are cheating by spraying humidor balls with freon in the top half innings of home games. Obviously, it's b. I'm just trying to figure out why they're winning on the road too, and then I'll publish my paper.
I hate that there were actually people who thought Ryan Sadowski's first two starts in the majors meant more than his entire professional career to that point.
I hate that Kevin Frandsen never got a shot after getting hot toward the end of 2007, even though his career minor league numbers are comparable to the minor league numbers of most of the top second baseman in the game. I guess he just needed to play for an organization that had more of an opening at second base.
On a related note, I hate that I even suspect that my favorite team is run by people who could look at Frandsen's 5-for-39 this year and conceivably think, man, that's obviously his true performance level now.
On another related note, I hate that someone just read that and didn't get the point. "Yeah, but what's Frandsen done in the majors, man? NOTHING. Minor league stats, AAAA players, blah blah blah, game played on the field, blah blah blah, Damon Minor and Todd Linden."
On yet another related note, I hate that I'm worrying that two bad outings + no help from the relievers who followed him + ERA over 6.00 = back-o'-the-bullpen duties for Sergio Romo.
I hate that my cat wants out and then scratches to get in so he can meow to get out once he's in, and that wakes up my daughter, which seriously impedes my effort to write about a crappy team that no one wants to read about right now. Solution: I'm going to shave the cat and mail him to Finland. You read that,cat? I swear on my life, I will shave you and mail you to another country. Pull this crap during a winning streak.
I hate that Pablo Sandoval didn't make the All-Star Game. Sorry, I'm not letting it go.
I hate that this team will probably start winning soon, making me look like an idiot. They won't go on a Rockies-type tear, of course. They'll win just enough to make the haters look stupid, and then they'll have another terrible road trip right as I start to believe again.
I hate the Dodgers. I hate that they're winning. I also hate the Dodgers.
Comment starter: THINGS YOU HATE. I hate this road trip. I think I hate every road trip now.

Yeah. I was content to stick with him and see what happens, and I still am. But I know what I’ve seen from him in his minor league career: mediocrity.

The Grim Sadowski was destined for failure when he already had a nickname that the broadcasters were using before he even had a pro start.

Well here's my counterpoint
I’m tired of reading about the sanctity of “regression to the mean,” “park factors,” and “age-appropriate development” as the trifecta of implacable reason applied to predictions. A robot can do that.
At this point, I’m only interested in people who make predictions that defy those patterns. For a few years, I thought Sammy Sosa and Luis Gonzalez were those guys. But it turns out: Roids.
I’m not saying I thought Sadowski would be that guy. But I am saying I would have loved it if he was.

Reality bites
No, I mean sanctity. Reality about the past, it’s certain, it’s factual, there’s no point in pretending it happened any other way. I call it “sanctity” because it’s used about the future, confidently, smugly, haughtily, as if counting on it was a sign of brilliant calculation instead of what it really is: betting the house will win in the long run.
I mean really, big whoop.

So you’d rather have someone grasping at straws and being right like 5% of the time, rather than trying to be realistic and be right more than wrong? Or do you only want people to talk about guys like Ben Zobrist or Chone Figgins who change their approach or swing or whatever and outperform their projections?

Well, “only” is a little extreme, but I agree the first case would be pretty boring. I would like to see people who make comments about why a particular player might be one to buck the odds forecasted by the trinity.
For example, I really liked Travis Fryman’s numbers coming up. He had some very good years as the Tiger SS, making the All-Star game in his second full year. In Keith Hernandez’ book Pure Baseball he commented watching Fryman that he was a “guess” hitter. A guy who could tattoo the ball if he guessed right about what was coming. But the great hitters adjust to it. So Fryman’s numbers did not rise as long and as strong as I hoped, but Keith spotted why. That kind of observation is interesting.
You know what would be a fun roto league? Teams playing against PECOTA projections. Who can put together a better team?

Charlie Sheen
Anybody ever see a movie called The California Kid? I’m gonna try like hell not to run to IMDB but I think it came out around 1974…ish. Starred his dad , who I respect the hell out of for not being his son. Well , that and being a charismatic screen stud. Charlie , OTOH…

You summed up my hate thoughts pretty well, the nonsensical dicking around of Kevin Frandsen, the Sadowski stuff, the low points of this roller coaster season, etc.
And since this is a hate thread, and I know many of you hate Livan Hernandez, I’ll relay this little story I was recently told.
A friend of mine was with the team during their recent trip to St. Louis. He got to go to Woody’s shed or shack or whatever it’s called. Not surprisingly he said that Woody was a great guy, that Gardner and Righetti were constantly teasing him, but that Woody would just laugh it off. At some point during the evening, Woody told my buddy the story of how Livan Hernandez got Krispy Kreme donuts banned from the clubhouse.
He said at some point Sabean came into the clubhouse shortly before a Livan start and saw Livan take down about 12 Krispy Kremes. Livan then went out and got shelled. Sabes banned the donuts from the clubhouse. Pretty straight forward story I guess but I thought some of you might like to hear it.

I think Frandsen probably shouldn’t have whined earlier in the year when he didn’t make the team. I’m guessing that has something to do with why he is in the doghouse. Pretty simple really, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Especially when you’ve proven nothing in the major leagues. It’s one thing if you are a 10 year vet who’s an All-Star or something, but when you’ve never done jack shit in the show and then act as if you are entitled to a job because you’ve been around longer than the guy who won your job, you look like a horse’s ass.

I don’t think it makes them bad people, it’s really the lifestyle. When tons of hot women are throwing their panties at you because you can hit or throw a baseball well has to be pretty flattering and hard to turn down all the time. And a lot of these player wives meet these players from the same ways and HOPEFULLY know what they’re getting into. I’m not condoning the cheating, but just saying that it’s a much different situation from your typical family lifestyle.

Counterpoint: Yunel Escobar has been far more confrontational and disruptive in the Braves clubhouse than Frandsen could have possibly been for the Giants, and yet he continues to see playing time (and hit pretty darn well).

Escobar has already been benched a few times, and the Braves have been trying to trade him. But the point remains, despite this fact Escobar has been a proven ML SS who can hit and so it would make no logical sense for the Braves to send him down when despite their problems with his attitude he can still help their team win in the interim before he is eventually traded.

I hate that once again Sabean’s back-up-infielder-of-the-year-has somehow become an everyday starter- like they suddenly became good after the only team that woulds sign them in the first place and as a back up is the Giants.
And I’d like to hate the idiotic ‘Latin Strategy’ that Sabean seems loathe to discontinue, but I think it helped us get Pablo (and we only had to sign 12 overpriced, old, declining, Latin free-agents to long-term contracts for it to work).

1. Rebuild with a chance to win cheap this year if things break right. Sign low-cost vets to short-term deals that won’t block anybody long term.
2. They’re breaking right. Don’t overreact; wait as long as possible to decide whether it is worth investing in this year.
3. Oh no, now they’re not breaking right. Don’t overreact. Wait as long as possible to decide whether it is worth conceding this year.
4. Draft guys that almost everybody on this board likes for three straight seasons. Draft high-upside toolsy HS guys, ready-for-the-majors polished college pitchers, build through a Latin-American strategy, and look for speed, line-drive hitters and power. Get it all and be pleased with the development of many of them. Be very, very optimistic about 2011-2013.

I hate Manny Ramirez
I hate the fact that he blatantly gets caught with using something that has no other use but steroids, admits to nothing, and yet everything is all right in the world because it’s just “Manny being Manny”.
Bonds never gets blatantly caught, and the media proceeds to treat him like the anti-Christ, Fainaru-Wada and Roger Cossack make careers out of the story, and every baseball writers says he’ll never ever be in the hall of fame either.
All this while “Mannywood” and Sportsnation comparing Manny to Mantle in full bloom.

Having said that, I HATE that my spirit is so broken that, whenever the Giants fall behind by 2 runs or more, I flash forward at triple speed through the game until the Giants bring the tying run to the plate. Then, and only then, do I slow down to regular speed and watch the action.
I estimate that my average viewing time for a Giants game is about 43 minutes.
Also, I hate that Suck it, Russell Martin is not forced to wear said moniker on the back of his jersey.

I hate anybody saying a game is a “must-win” in the middle of the season.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I hate and love the fact they are trying to make a sequel to this movie. I mean I’m really against it because it is probably going to be horrible, but part of me wants it.
