Post-Game Recap: San Francisco Giants Band Together to Score Run
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 19, 2009 7:24 PM PDT

PrintIf you don't catch the reference, a link for you....
I guess these kinds of games make me happy. But I still want to punch something. A win's a win, and it's just dandy when the Giants win, but I still want to punch something because of the weenie offense.
Two Bochy bonus points today:
- Not trusting Barry Zito. I don't think I would have pinch-hit for him, but it was probably the right move. Too often we've seen Zito run out in the late innings of a solid outing to leak baserunners all over the place. Bochy's been burned too often.
- Trusting Sergio Romo, funky ERA be damned. Romo had a couple of ugly outings, his peers allowed all of the inherited runners to score, and the ERA ballooned. Some managers would read way too much into that -- and run right for Bobby Howry as an alternative -- but it didn't take long for Bochy to trust Bochy again.
The Giants can sweep tomorrow, with the first pitch coming at 5:30 a.m. or some crap.

I missed the entire game
and I am wondering why Zito only got through 77 pitches? Offensive decision? Injury?
2on, 2out in the 7th, runs were hard to come by, zito came up to hit, they pinch hit for him. i would have done it too

Yeah, I would have been fine with using Panda (having him walk) and then having Velez bat with the bases loaded, since that usually seems to be a good time for players to hit.

Lewis a fine choice
7 for 19 in pinch hitting situations. He’s got a 297/372/464 line against RHP, 3rd best behind only Pablo and the … I don’t even know how to categorize what I’ve seen from Eugenio this turn up.
But yeah, I would’ve called Pablo in the 7th to pinch hit since he was available off the bench.
Lewis
Batting .154 (4-26) with 2outs, RISP. Bad time to bring him in.

When you fixate completely on the stats you fail to realize the human aspect of the game. In meaningful games this year, Lewis has failed in key situations (offensively and defensively).

You can say there’s no such thing as clutch, but when certain players consistently fail in key situations then maybe there’s something to that. Maybe the pressure gets to them

But we’ve already shown that he hit much better the last two years (and hit .305 in the minors with RISP), so he doesn’t seem to consistently fail.

Read F. Sanchez’s thoughts on this clutch stuff. Posted in one of the fanshots I believe
With malice towards the Dodgers
Read this first
http://www.tangotiger.net/clutch.html
He goes through the math, but the summary is presented below.
Clutch Hitters
So, who are the clutch hitters? From 1999-2002, Jason Giambi and Miguel Tejada have shown to have the true talent clutch ability to add 2 runs per year. That’s it. That’s the effect of clutch ability.
Again, I should say that that’s how much clutch ability we can detect. It’s possible that there is more. After all, the clutch performance of these players over this time period suggests they added 12 runs during clutch performance each year. Our current detection process says that most of that was due to good luck, but not all of it.
Clutch hitting is there. It’s an ability that does exist, and is detectable. And its effect is rather limited.

No, it’s not. Clutch probably exists, but its importance is dwarfed by actual talent. And you can’t draw clutch conclusions from one season, you need a much MUCH larger sample if you really want to make a somewhat definitive conclusion.

I know people have been down on Freddie, and his defense has been terrible and he hit like warm poo in June. But he’s on a hotter streak in August than either Velez or Pablo. 11-22, 5 XBH, 4 BB.
Given his defensive liabilities, he’s the ideal pinch hitter against RHP.

I wonder what this season will cost Randy on the up coming free agent market.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
I think he’ll wind up with a 3 yr 15 million dollar deal. Unfortunately for Randy, that’s how much he’ll have to pay somebody to let him play

ESPN Front page poll question
Who has the best 1-2 combo in the NL?
Phillies(Lee and Hamels)
Cards(Wainwright and Carpenter)
Dodgers(Billingsley and Kershaw)
Giants( Cain & Lincecum)
Insanity is just a state of mind.
It’s obviously us.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

i just mean that the east coast voters skewed the results to put the Phil’s duo in second. Card’s combo is easily better, and still quite lacking compared to our homeboys
yea, Hamels has done diddly this year. i’m not even sure he’s second-best on the team right now. Lee has been lights out since coming to the NL
When did Hamels' contract get signed and for how much?
Wasn’t that just last year?

Right now, he is. He’s pitching better than Hamels. I don’t could Pedro. Blanton is meh.

But he hasn’t really faced any team more than once in his career as a starter. I think he might be on the Sadwaski diet. However he is better than Sadwaski, probably at 3 pitcher. With that said, I saw him pitch last year, he was pretty awesome.

Rizzo’s the Nats’ new GM and good for them. If they picked DiPoto over Rizzo after Strasburg signed for a semi-not-really-reasonable amount of money and he got Morgan (who has been insanely good and lit up that franchise) that would have been the dumbest move ever.

Dodgers signed Vicente Padilla. I gotta wonder why they’re thinking a pitcher the Rangers released is going to help them. I mean, Texas does not equal pitching depth, and they still have to pay most of the $12M he’s owed.
Of course, I suppose I shouldn’t ask why the Dodgers did something stupid and just enjoy it.

Lousy Lineup Optimizer: San Francisco Giants
http://www.drivelinemechanics.com/2009/8/19/991722/lousy-lineup-optimizer-san
Proof that you can’t manage just using paper statistics without watching this team in every game. The guy is also self-contradictory. He states that “the hitter in the #1 spot will have the best OBP”. Yet, somehow, his optimized lineup has Rowand as leadoff!
If you actually read the article
youd see this:
However, If you look at Rowand’s numbers, he’s absolutely dreadful when it comes to grounding into the double play, and the #3 spot sees the most GDP opportunities, by far. By putting him in the #1 spot, we avoid that (particularly with OBP wizards like Molina and Renteria at the bottom of the order), and both Garko and Schierholtz have been better than average at avoiding it. That probably saves as many or more runs than any other single betting order move.
Seriously. Just stop.

Nate in LF and Winn in RF seems like it wouldnt happen. And Freddy seems a bit low in the lineup. I would switch Nate and Sanchez, than slide Nate into the 5th spot.
Chris Dominguez: Bringing dingerz back to The Bay (In a while)
Yes, but he doesn’t have Bengie hitting 4th and that’s huge.

Of course, I read the entire thing but YOU don't understand it.
Bochy already tried hitting Rowand leadoff, remember?
It just gave Rowand increased opportunities to go 0 for 5.
That’s why Velez started batting #1.
And now he has increased opportunities to go 0 for 5!

Man, how good would the Rockies be this year if Jeff Francis was healthy?
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Or if that guy they took over Lincecum (Reynolds) is any good but such is baseball. We are also missing Lowry (as well as his bat) and Johnson.
Win the inning.

Does Baggs like Bochy??
From his blog:
Earlier in the game, Zito batted with the bases loaded and one out. He rolled into a double play. I asked Bochy if he’d thought about giving the take sign all the way, ensuring Eugenio Velez would have a crack at it. He said he’d done that in the past, but he thought Zito would get a good first pitch to hit and the left-hander had done a better job making solid contact of late.
Ohhhh-kay….

Well, obviously.
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

Fun Facts
On Wednesday, the Florida Marlins got 10 hits in 15 consecutive games. The first National League team to do so since the 1930 Giants.
On Tuesday, the Angels put a lineup entirely of .300 hitters. The last team to do so was the 1931 Giants.

Imagine if the Giants had this kind of lineup. Tuesday's Angels lineup and there was no SSS.
C. Figgins 3b .308
B. Abreu rf .310
J. Rivera lf .310
V. Guerrero dh .313
K. Morales 1b .303
T. Hunter cf .307
M. Izturis 2b .300
M. Napoli c .300

Bill Hall
Yesterday it was mentioned that the Giant may have interest in Bill Hall. He was traded on Wednesday to the Mariners for minor league pitcher Ruben Flores.
