Post-Game Recap: Cain Wins Again
by Grant on Jul 24, 2009 8:54 PM PDT

Brian Wilson walked the leadoff batter in the ninth inning. Then he took the next batter to a 3-2 count before getting a fly ball. Then he gave up a single. There were two runners on and only one out. I'm not an especially religious man, but I looked up to the sky, and I muttered...
Hey there. I don't purport to know if there's anything up there, and if there is, I'm sure I can't comprehend your true nature. But tonight the center field camera showed a) a purple triceratops behind home plate, dancing around in the pitcher's field of vision and b) fans doing the wave. If a team wins a thrilling game in the bottom of the ninth inning after committing both of those crimes against the game -- nay, humanity -- then I guess I only know one thing about you: that you really, really hate me and everything that I stand for.
I don't have any answers, really. But for tonight, at least, I'd put money on "just and benevolent deity."

I’m not going to start this argument again, but it’s more than run support. After Lewis’ miscue he threw his best pitches of the game to Hawpe. Not sure he would have done that last year.

I’m not going to start it either, I do think he looks like a better pitcher this year than in years past. His results overall have been about the same (other than ERA and Wins), but I do think he has improved.

I think he’d be much more effective if he’d use his change up more. His curveball is kinda weak and he rarely uses it with two strikes

He’s been pitching deeper into games this year, which helps.

I wonder if it’s just a matter of working on his swing while he’s on the bench and then getting enough playing time to get in a good groove at the plate. There’s a lot to be said for getting enough at-bats, as John Bowker or Kevin Frandsen can tell you. Tell em, guys!

There seems to be an assumption that that play was easy.
Fred made a bad read and took a bad route to the ball and he needs to get better at that BUT: Even if he made the right read and got a great jump it would have been a great play. That ball was tattooed.

if you face the tying run in the ninth you SHOULD get the save. The saves that bother me is when the closer has a three run lead and gives up two runs. In fact, I think you can even get a save if it’s 5-0 and the bases are loaded. The tying run is on deck.

I can’t stand the Rockies either. I’m not saying that they do this, but I really think it would be easy for them to cheat with that whole humidor thing. Hand the ump some extra frozen balls when the other team is batting and use regular baseballs when the home team is batting.

Yup. I published an article on Baseball Primer a few years after the humidor was installed, showing that the Rox Coors-offensive-boost had stayed the same, while visitors had plummeted.
Thankfully, for the first time in like forever, they don’t have an extreme home/road split this year : they actually appear to simply be “good”. (“good” like “good at baseball”, not “good” like “opposite of evil.”)

SnowLeopard is right that his is a quantitative inquiry; mine is pure qualitative— I have seen with my own eyes too many innings of baseball played at Coors Field in which fly balls were flying more favorably for the Rockies than for the Giants. I can’t say this scientifically, but to my eyes and my satisfaction, the ball was behaving differently in ways not attributable to pitching or weaker/stronger hitting, in my opinion.

Except it's not cheating.
The Rockies aren’t breaking any rules, even their use of humidor baseballs is checked and monitored by MLB by tests throughout the season of the baseballs used – both before and after being given to the umpires. They are minutely observant of what’s going on there because it could be easily manipulated into gambling profits and baseball doesn’t fuck around with that.
Read this article from earlier this season at Baseball Analysts:
What Does This Mean?
So, some parks have a greater home field advantage than others, and we now have some idea of why, but is it significant in a baseball sense? Over the course of the year, if we assume a team plays .460 ball on the road, a team with a healthy home field advantage may play .560 ball at home, while a team with a small home field advantage may play only .520 ball at home. The team with the big advantage will win over 3 games more than the team with the small advantage. This is not insignificant at all and could easily be the difference between winning and losing the pennant. Additionally, a good home field advantage is the gift that keeps on giving, with the team reaping the advantage year after year. In the extreme case, Coors field, the ballpark makes a .500 team into an 86 win team – so far a lifetime gain of 70 wins for the park, making it likely the most valuable member of the Rockies franchise.
The Rockies do have a massive unfair advantage at Coors, but it’s a legal one by baseball standards.
by Rox Girl on Jul 25, 2009 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is completely non-responsive to the point.
The point was that some people hypothesize that the humidored balls are being provided to the home plate umpire when the visitor is batting and that non-humidored balls are furnished when the Rockies are batting. It would be virtually indetectible. Do you have any evidence or access to procedures that guarantee that doesn’t happen?
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
by Mayor of 311 on Jul 25, 2009 4:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is responsive.
SnowLeopard’s claiming that the HFA results for Rockies players over the last 7 seasons show conclusively that the Rockies are cheating, I’m responding in saying that these last seven seasons have been well within the expected HFA range for Coors Field. It’s just like with players, some years a guy will hit 40 HR’s but he might usually only hit 30, that there are spikes (or in the case of 2009, a valley) from time to time is nowhere close to evidence of nefarious deeds.
The fact is the Rockies already had the most extreme park in the majors and the most likely to have a home field advantage and then they added a new quirky, league-sanctioned element to it in 2002. Guess who’s going to get the most benefit from that, the team that plays there 81 times a year, or one that comes in for one or two series?
I’ve been told, so this hearsay, but since a lot of the brouhaha over it in 2006 that the MLB occasionally asks umpires to hand over baseballs for testing similar to random drug tests for PED’s. I know they check the humidor itself fairly frequently to make sure everything’s kosher and the Rockies have to report maintenance and breakdowns, hence the above mentioned announcement by both the league and the Rockies. Regardless, I’m willing to bet that the Rockies have the most monitored baseballs in the MLB.

That's really funny!
Thank you for sharing that ad clip; quite funny.
I respect your coming in here and being cogent & intelligent, and very reasonably and not like a flaming homer for your squad. It is nice to have you here, so thank you. I’m in no hurry to go in other team’s sites (except the Angels one when Nick Adenhart was killed, but that was obviously different), so I respect your joining us.
I still don’t think you are addressing our point, though, which isn’t about HFA that derives from both teams facing the same circumstances at the same time (that’s what you’re addressing and assuming). We are specifically pinpointing the possibility of HFA deriving from the home team getting a favorable set of balls to work with and the visitor getting the unfavorable set of balls. So this has nothing to do with how well the humidor functions, reporting requirements for malfunctions of it, and so on. If it’s broken, maybe both teams would get the same set of balls, so actually, that’s fine!
While interesting that MLB asks for umpires for balls for testing, I don’t believe they can detect whether a ball was humidified or not or to what degree by the time they get it from the umpire and actually test it. It’s not like a blood/urine sample, which really can be preserved and the chemical composition will remain steady for a period of time. I have heard from some “old timers” (the kind who used to set boxes of balls on top of an air conditioner for a couple days, then take them off a couple hours before giving them to the umpire so they’re normal temp to the touch, but inside are still denser) that you couldn’t really test for that, i.e., cutting the ball in half won’t tell anyone anything.
I suppose if MLB hired, say, Albert Pujols for a batting practice session and his b.p. pitcher grooved a bunch of balls that were known to be normal and a bunch known to be humidified, and a bunch that the Rockies purported were humidified, then I guess we could observe differences among the balls.
Short of that, I would be very interested to see exactly what the diagnostic procedures are and their validity in determining whether the same balls are going into the home plate umpire’s pouch in the tops & bottoms of every inning. I just don’t see how that can be verified. It would be so easy for the home team to segregate the balls undetected and run the right ones out to the umpire in the correct half of each inning.
Thanks again for joining us. Come anytime.

Well, you’re wrong in a couple of ways. First, nothing is worse than the Dodgers. Second, the only reason you need to hate the Rockies is ’93.
by Alex_Lewis on Jul 24, 2009 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I hate the Dodgers more, but the Rockies are second in my book. There were years when it just seemed like we couldn’t win in Denver. Barry Bonds pulled a muscle running out of the batter’s box, Neifi Perez hit a broken bat pop-up 3-run homer, Larry Walker was Canadian. It was a house of horrors. Then Todd Helton came along and started mashing every pitcher in the history of the Giants. I cannot stand the Rockies.

That means he is 4-39 in decisions where he was given less than 3 runs of support.

He really doesn’t have the talent to be a big-league regular. He walks too many guys and doesn’t strike out enough hitters to make up for it. He’s also not a sinker/knuckle-baller. His upside is AAA guy with the occasional big league start. Those guys are useful and necessary, but that’s the most that can be said for them.

You aren’t the only one that has heard this sort of stuff from him. Homophobic, misogynistic blithering is why I stopped listening to him.
He was on a tear one night about how all the women should just go back to the kitchen and make food and let the MEN watch the game on tv. ‘Cuz ya know the wimminfolk always be asking stupit questions and are wantin to put on the figger skatin’ ’stead of the game.
That kind of crap may play well in Arkansas, but I don’t have to listen to it here. We have 2 other sports talk stations in town if I want scores and such after the Giants game.

It’s easy to hate on Damon Bruce, but I really don’t think any of the KNBR guys know our prospects like we do. The other day a caller asked Rod Brooks if he would accept Evan Longoria from the Rays for a few of our prospects (I don’t remember who they were, but Madbum and Posey weren’t among them), and he actually had to think about it for a couple of seconds. Let it be known that I really like Rod Brooks, by the way. I’m just saying

For the Rays to trade Longoria, the Giants would have to give them a blank sheet of paper and tell them to pick any five players in the organization not named Lincecum, Cain or Sandoval. Not that I would want the Giants’ to do this, but this is probably what it would take. Even then I think the Rays might say no.

Wise’s catch was amazing, but don’t points actually get deducted because it popped out of his glove and he caught it again? I don’t see how that makes it a better catch. It was his own mistake that made it tougher. And where’s Kevin Mitchell’s bare hander?
