Postgame fun: Rockies outslug Giants

However, there was a silver lining to be found in this cloud of fecal matter. It was nice to see the Giants scratch and claw to make the Rockies sweat a little. Five home runs, including Ryan Garko's first two as a Giant! If Garko really gets it going, it would be huge for this team. Tonight the Giants showed that they have some fight in them and won't go down without pulling a few eyelashes in the process. It made the loss seem somewhat less painful. They'd better score this many freakin' runs for Lincecum tomorrow though.

No way.
As runs would result in Tim’s 13th win, which is impossible due to the laws of physics.

nope
We were supposed to lose this one and yesterday, which means we’ll lose tim’s start to make up for the game we won. Or something.

No more LHP this series
A good thing since we can’t start a full OF who can hit LHP, at least not until Torres comes off the DL.
At this point, Schierholtz is a must play against LHP. Schierholtz is actually left handed and, on paper, should be better against RHP – but while it may be due to a small sample size (78 career AB) he’s had an OPS 840+ in all 3 seasons, albeit with limited ABs each yeary.
One thing is certain: neither Lewis nor Velez can hit their way out of a cardboard box against LHP. Velez is a career .200 average and .240 slugging hitter while Lewis is a relative Musial compared to that with avg and slg of .245 and .333 respectively. He is at a horrid .173/.295/.212 this season, but last season in 100 ABs he was able to manage a respectable .270/.348/.380.
But Winn has hit like he’s had an injury and can’t hit right handed this season. For his career he’s a decent hitter against LHP (.281/.333/.429) but this year he’s worst than even Velez (.163/.185/.212). That is just so different from this typical line that I have to think he’s not completely healthy and can’t swing properly from the right side.
That’s 3 OF’s who combine to hit < .200 against LHP.
At least we’ve got 2 righthanders left to face this series. May as well give Velez a rest since his hot streak is over, and Lewis’ defense is actually better than Eugenio’s. Looks like the clock has struck midnight …
things like this should tell people in the front office that this guy does not belong on a major league club, no matter how much ability they think he has

As much of a nightmare that this game became...
I honestly did not think we had a chance with our 5th starter going up against a surging De La Rosa. I just can’t wait for Lincecum + 6 games at home for the rest of the year against the Rockies.

I’m actually not too disappointed (probably because I left for dinner after the 5th) mostly in part to this. I honestly expected the Giants to fold like paper but they’re putting up quite the effort from an offense standpoint. The super discouraging thing for me though is the crappy team defense we’ve been putting out lately.

too bad Bochy forgot we were in Coors, and left Martinez and MIller in too long and followed them up with his concession pitcher, Merkin Valdez. I hate to see them just give up on a late August game with the team in front of you for the final playoff spot. If you’re not going to manage this series with a sense of urgency, when are you going to?

So Romo and Affeldt are pulled in close games for walking one hitter, but Justin Miller is brought into a tie game in one of the biggest games of the year and isn’t pulled until he allows, in succession: single, triple, walk, triple, wild pitch, HR, walk?

Well, Schierholtz could have caught that second triple so it made sense to leave Miller in.

I’m way more pissed about Bochy wasting his best relievers (especially in tight games which could go into extra innings) than I am about tonight. I didn’t much care he left in Miller because I’ve seen enough Coors Field losses to spot this one as soon as Stewart homered.
Honestly, I feel better when the Giants are up by one or two at Coors than up by four or five. As soon as the Giants build a big lead there, I can feel the hot breath of Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe on the back of my neck and I’m visited by the Ghost of Blown Coors Field Leads Past.

Just got back from this game….. I have never seen an entire pitching staff collectively lose it like the Giants did this evening. One minute the Giants are ahead, the next, they are horribly behind. Go Garko! Get it going! It would also be nice to see F Sanchez at some point this season.

He has, in fact, not been clutch so far this season. How much stock you put in that factoid is another matter…

by Johnny Disaster on Aug 23, 2009 10:45 AM PDT up reply actions
Even that's debatable
You can definitely say that so far this season, he hasn’t been good in RBI opportunities. I’d still like to point out that it’s only 61 AB’s, and that his BABIP is .238 in those AB’s, but yeah, he hasn’t gotten good results in those situations. But does that automatically make him unclutch? For example, leading off an inning – when the batter’s main goal should just be to get on base – Lewis has a .422 OBP. Is that not clutch? Looking at Baseball Reference’s leverage stats , it appears that Lewis has actually been fantastic in high-leverage situations, horrible in medium-leverage situations, and good in low-leverage situations. What can we learn from that? Well, not much in my opinion, since it all looks pretty random, and the only difference seems to always be BABIP. But in any case, you can’t conclude that someone has been unclutch simply because he hasn’t driven in runs.

Well I guess at least they all screwed up in the same game and got it out of the way? That point would have made more sense had the game not been so close, though.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
I’ve been telling myself that all night, but with Timmy pitching in hot weather today I’m not sure what to think. Today might be a bull pen day too. /shudders
When you are looking forward to a Zito start with more enthusiasm than a Timmy start, you know that something somewhere is seriously fucked up.
Someone needs to develop some kind of, I don’t know, nano technology jersey that can keep Timmy cool in hot weather. Panda too for that reason. He looked like he was really laboring after one of his doubles.
It is rather early.
In some weird perverted way, I’m hoping the grind of the season DOES get to Panda, and it motivates him to work out and get in a little better shape for next season.
Sandoval, Wilson, Zito, and Goofus can all do P90X this offseason together.

From Baggs
The Rockies signed Russ Ortiz, I’ve just been told. They’re going to announce it tomorrow. He’ll probably slide into Aaron Cook’s rotation spot Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing them to leave Josh Fogg and Adam Eaton in the bullpen.
Cook is on the DL with a shoulder injury after leaving Friday’s game in the fourth inning. That rotation spot isn’t scheduled to come up when the Rockies visit AT&T Park for a three-game series next weekend.
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
Also
I don’t think he’s lost his starting job, though. Bochy believes that Velez is just worn out. Until Bochy pointed it out, I hadn’t realized that Velez had started 24 consecutive games since the Giants recalled him on July 27.
Wow, 24 games of Failez? Haven’t they realized he just sucks?
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Wow
Just wow.
Bochy had become so accustomed to writing Velez’s name in the lineup that he accidentally scribbled him in as the leadoff hitter when he gave his card to bench coach Ron Wotus.
This explains Bengie hitting cleanup all year.
Insanity is just a state of mind.

Recent #'s
It’s a tough spot for Bochy cause he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. But you have to account for recent play to go along with past #‘s ,and it’s Bochy’s gut feel as to when one crosses over to the other. We’re obviously not going to use Edgar Renterria’s career #‘s to tell us where to play him this year. But, at the same time, if someone’s career statistics say he has been a 700 OPS hitter, then you can ride the hot streak, but you do need to keep an eye on to see if the suddenly 900 OPS guy will cool off.
Eugenio’s only been hitless for 4 games, but his hot streak wasn’t that long either. if you talk about his stats, the 1st 5 games after he was called back up jumped his OBP up 100 pts. since august 1 it’s fallen 30 pts and his avg 20 pts. I think everyone’s starting to see spots on the leopard again…
I don’t mind Velez in the outfield as much, but keep him the hell away from 2nd base. Hopefully Torres will come back next week all rested up and ready to mash. I don’t “mind” him there – if he’s got to be somewhere on the field, but there are way better options. I still think Panda needs more time off. This is his first full season.
Because based on everything except for his small sample size hot streak, there’s no reason to think he’s a better player than Fred Lewis.
And yet, despite having a similar slump right now to the one that got Fred benched for two months, I’m pretty sure he’s not in any danger of losing his starting spot.

I think it's all about expectation with Bochy
He expected Lewis to be a power-hitting #3 hitter, and he isn’t, so clearly he’s unworthy of starting. He expected Velez to be almost completely worthless, and he’s had been better than that, so he needs to play everyday.
