Hate

PrintI 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.

Also, wholeheartedly agree with this:

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.

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?

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). If Escobar were a Giants prospect, he’d probably be toiling in Fresno right now.
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
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 don’t need to root for a team full of Ned Flanders.

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.

Dunn’s defense is bad. 15-20 runs per year bad. That’s 2 wins/year, tops. Of which Lincecum pitches in 20% of the innings (generously), so that costs Lincecum 0.4 wins.

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.

Zito gets no run support when he pitches well and he pitches like crap when he gets run support. Our 5th starter is basically a carousel now after all that stability for the beginning of the year.

I hate that people overlook Wilson’s ability to consistently save games, even under bases loaded pressure. I don’t give a fuck what his personality is like as long as he’s able to continue producing. His personality is probably what helps him bounce back from all the pressure he has to take from being a closer. I can’t imagine how Romo would handle that kind of stress, after seeing him celebrate on the mound after 3 outs, or sweating up a storm on Monday after his craptacular outing.
If we do trade off Wilson, I am ready to sarcastically bring up his trade every time we blow a save.

LOL Mets!
Tony Bernazard, a New York Mets executive, recently challenged one of club’s minor league teams to a fight during a postgame clubhouse tirade, the New York Daily News reported, citing multiple sources with ties to the team.
Bernazard, the team’s vice president for player development, pulled off his shirt and challenged the Double-A Binghamton Mets in the tirade, about 10 days before the All-Star break. He in particular targeted middle infield prospect Jose Coronado, according to the report.
It’s the second report in two days of startling behavior by Bernazard, 52, who has been fingered in the media as a key influence behind the firings of manager Willie Randolph and pitching coach Rick Peterson last season.
The Daily News reported on Tuesday that at a recent game at Citi Field, Bernazard, who wanted a seat behind home plate that was occupied by an Arizona Diamondbacks scout, unleashed a profanity-laced tirade against a subordinate who suggested he wait until the half-inning was over to take the seat.
Yeah Omar Minaya is a tard.

Sanchez is actually a good pitcher
I actually think we have 2-3
but the problem is, average pitcher (RA 4.5) + horrible offense (RS 4.0) = many losses.

I hate that half the teams use it. I hate that those teams fans think it’s a good idea. I hate when people cry about it when a pitcher gets hurt running the basepaths. A professional athlete should be able to run without getting hurt, that’s their own damn fault. I hate the whole concept of a DH. Most importantly, I hate players that are full time DH’s. You get paid millions just to step up to the plate 4 times a game, and you don’t do anything else? That’s BS. Playing baseball means taking the field when the other team bats. I also hate that if the Giants had a DH, their offense wouldn’t improve. Not one bit. Giants hitters swing the bat like Barry Zito. Pussies.

You make a good point, which doesn't in any way negate the validity of my point.
Hopefully, your reply wasn’t meant to be a justification for tailgating (because that is inexcusable behavior regardless). I’m not one of those people that trundle along in the fast lane, obstructing traffic. Those people are oblivious, inconsiderate, and annoying.
People tailgate me every day (in every lane) regardless of how fast I’m going. It happens when I’m in the fast lane going the same speed as the cars in front of me (when it is obviously impossible for me to go any faster). Those people seem to object to the fact that I choose to leave a semi-safe following distance between my vehicle and the one in front of me. They seem to think feel that if I tailgate the person in front of me it will somehow help them reach their destination sooner. There "solution" is often to pass me on the right and squeeze into my safety zone (I HATE THAT).
People even tailgate me when I’m in the slow lane. People need to calm down, slow down, and realize that their reckless behavior threatens the safety of everyone around them.
A few years ago I was involved in a five car pileup, which was cause by people behind be driving too fast and not paying attention. The traffic in front of me on the freeway had come to a stop. I was able to safely come to a stop. Unfortunately, several vehicles behind me weren’t… My vehicle was totaled (see below), and I was left with severe neck pain for months. This has caused me to be extra sensitive to the unsafe behavior of others around me while I’m behind the wheel…
I was just making sure you weren’t one of those oblivious and inconsiderate drivers. Now that I know you are not, I agree with all your points.

Tailgaters need to GTFO already. I go the speed limit. If you wanna get a ticket, go right ahead. I know for a fact that they’re actively looking for reasons to pull you over. I got a speeding ticket for going 79 on 680. Is that too slow for most drivers? Apparently, since some asshat was tailgating me most of the way before I got pulled over.
