Post-Game Thread: Giants Concede the Season

PrintLiveblogging the end of the game....
8:19: Runner on first, no one out, and Aaron Rowand strikes out on three pitches. Do I mail a check for those postseason tickets, or is there a way to use my debit card?
8:28: If Howry blows this -- hey, look, a rookie outfielder is due to hit fourth! -- I'm not even going to blame him. He's pitched well enough this year, and he's been a fine fourth bullpen option. On a normal team with a non-wretched offense, he'd be a quiet, underrated contributor. On this Giants team, though, every late-inning outing in which he appears is an "Oh, dude, we totally haven't scored any runs this game, so you can't give up any, or else we'll lose. You have no margin for error. Good luck."
8:33: Oh, I get it. You didn't start the ninth inning with Wilson because you're saving him for a save situation. Except now you bring him in with runners on because it's suddenly an important inning? Like, it wasn't before? That makes none sense.
8:34: Kuiper: "The Giants would like to get this to the tenth, where they'll have the top of the order up." The top of the order: Velez, Winn, Uribe. It's cheating to make too much of this, as the only reason Uribe is hitting third is because Sandoval left with an injury, but if a team has Velez, Winn, and Uribe as the 6-7-8 hitters, that team's offense sucks. And how. So pardon me if I'm not excited that the Giants have the top of the lineup coming up.
8:40: Wow. I can't believe the Giants didn't score. I mean, they had the top of the order up.
8:48: Wow. I can't believe Velez made an error to put a runner into scoring position with no outs.
8:51: Still on life support, as the legend of Schierholtz's arm saves the game for the moment. Ryan Garko doesn't understand
8:53: MAGIC DOUBLE PLAY KEEPS THE SEASON ALIVE. Good gravy. Runner on second, no outs, a base hit, and...nothing. I would have lost the pink slip to my car if someone had put a twenty against it.
8:58: Molina bloops a single, and Ryan Spilborghs cocks his arm, obviously thinking about a throw to first. Awesome.
9:00: The home plate ump isn't giving the outside corner to either team. Good for him for being consistent.
9:01: Rough night for Schierholtz. Don't worry, though. Whiteside will fix it all. Correction: Brian Wilson's Bunting Magiporium will get the runner into scoring position! Unless he bunts into a double play.
9:03: Dammit. Just dammit. Helluva takeout slide by Lincecum at second, though.
9:06: OK, it's probably amusing to Rockie partisans, but having a burnout in a purple triceratops costume gyrate his hips behind home plate to distract the pitcher is a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace. For all of the "Curse of the Bambino/Billy Goat" nonsense that surfaces every October, I'm hoping that in 2093, some sportscaster picks up on the Curse of the Inappropriately Ridiculous Mascot as the reason for the 100-year championship drought.
9:08: A 1-2 single from Yorvit Torrealba. Man, how I wish he were our cleanup hitter.
9:13: I have a ton of respect for Wilson, win or lose. Forty pitches, a runner on third with less than two outs, and he's still pumping 99 MPH fastballs by hitters.
9:14: Time for the twelfth inning. SCORE SOME RUNS, YOU DERELICTS. Fur coat and lame reality show notwithstanding, Wilson is almost certainly the most underrated member of this wacky playoff race.
9:16: The top of the twelfth starts with a quick Rowand-two count. How have we missed that nickname in the past two years?
9:23: Joe Beimel! Maybe he can be the karmic refund for Bobby Howry's multiple gifts to opposing teams.
9:25: Maybe not.
9:27: Checking the Fresno box score, I notice that John Bowker and Buster Posey have combined for twice as many walks as the Giants tonight. That's kind of funny. Less funny: Jesus Guzman has as many walks as the Giants.
9:30: Bottom twelve, and it's a 1-1 tie. In Coors Field. If you traveled back in time to 1998 in a flying Delorean, bringing an iPhone and a box score from this game, I know which one would have fascinated me the most. Two combined runs in 12 innings? What manner of sorcery be this?
9:35: If a major league team can't score runs off Adam Eaton, they don't deserve to be a major league team, much less a contending major league team. Mmmm. Belt-high 90-MPH fastballs and hanging breaking balls. Them's tough pitches! If Adrian Gonzalez is going to terrorize us for the next five years, the least Eaton could do is let us win.
9:41: That's the fastest Eli Whiteside will ever run from now until his last breath. Whew.
9:42: Schierholtz swings at a slider at his back foot. The sun sets in the west. A dog howls at the moon.
9:43: It wasn't a total blown call, but I wouldn't have blamed Angel Campos for calling Schierholtz out on the 2-2 changeup. Gameday says it was a ball.
9:47: Freddy Sanchez will rescue us all! Freddy San...aw, crap. He was just a decoy, and Brandon Medders will hit. Sanchez will be healthy in 14 days, so you can see why it's totally insane to put him on the 15-day DL. WHAT IF WE NEEDED HIM IN THAT 15TH GAME? Good gravy, think about that for a second. That would have been a nightmare to have needed him if he were unavailable.
9:49: Adam Eaton allows three baserunners and lowers his WHIP for the season. Medders has the best swing of the night. I wonder if he can play second.
9:59: Brandon Medders. The answer was Brandon Medders. Not Brandon Puffer, and not Brandon Villafuerte. The correct answer for "non-roster invitee who actually pans out" was Brandon Medders. Beautiful outing, and he almost had the game winning hit.
10:01: Second inning for Adam Eaton, Who, again, pitched himself off of the Orioles roster. Rowand-two promptly waves at two breaking balls that BOUNCED IN FUCKING KANSAS. Only three more years, and then we'll get to watch someone else!
10:04: One out triple from Renteria, aided by some funky caroms in the corner. I, for one, am skeptical that the Giants can hit a fly ball.
10:05: Kuiper: "If you are Ishikawa, this is the at-bat of your lifetime." So, so true.
10:07: Velez. A moratorium on Velez-related punchlines for, like, six months if he gets this run home.
10:09: VELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ!
10:10: VELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
10:10: omgomgomgomgomgomgvelez
10:10: omgomgomgomgomgomgvelez
10:11: And they get another run. Unbelievable.
10:15: Wait, why are the Giants running out to the field? The Rockies get another freaking chance? Ooof.
10:18: The 1-0 pitch to Fowler in the bottom of the 14th was obviously a strike, but it was called a ball. Next pitch is a make-up call, way outside.
10:19: Ugh. Fowler's hurt. That's no good. I sure wish the Giants had one of those sweet young centerfielders. Fowler, Rasmus, Schafer, Maybin, McCutchen...nope. Rowand!
10:21: Three-run lead? Better be careful with that leadoff hitter. Nibble. Just don't let him hit a grand slam, even if you have to walk him.
10:27: Justin Miller fires in an 87-MPH fastball to start his save chance. Err.
10:33: Tying run on base -- two walks! -- winning run at the plate. Adam Eaton is up. First pitch: Waaaay outside. Second pitch: Waaaaay outside. Holy crap. Throw srikes, Miller.
10:35: Miller walks the pitcher. Tying run at second. Winning run at first. Thanks for the surprisingly productive work this year, Justin, but I'd just as soon never watch you pitch again.
10:39: The season is over.
The season is over.
The season is over.
That's the worst game I've ever seen.

Completely agree
I’ll be canceling my MLB.tv subscription tomorrow. No reason to watch the rest of this disaster.
if the Dodgers win the World Series, I will set myself on fire
Absolutely
In the middle of the 14th, I thought, if they hold on to win this, it’s the best game of the season. If they lose…
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
You didn’t even consider that they might lose by
1. walking a guy with a broken foot who probably was told not to swing
2. WALKING THE PITCHER WITH THE BASES LOADED

what makes me mad is that the players don’t care like we do. They just shrug their shoulders and talk about there being another game tomorrow. I guess it’s good in a way because if it were me, I wouldn’t get another hit the rest of the season. The only credit I give Justin Miller is that he supposedly cursed at Yorvit Torrealba for some reason. He stinks, but at least he’s one of the few that cares enough to get angry.
embarrassed father of over the hill Edgardo Renteria
I actually want the players to have whatever emotional reactions help them play a 162-game season the best they can.
Once a particular game is over, it is over. The only thing they can affect is future games, what with time only moving in one direction and all. If that means getting mad and taking some of that into the next game, fine. If that’s totally releasing the game as it concludes so that each day is fresh and the anger doesn’t make them play poorly in the only game they can control (i.e., the next one), fine. I imagine some people are one way, some the other, and some are still other personalities. But I certainly don’t need their emotions to mirror mine any more than I expect their skills to mirror mine.

Baggarly was talking about the bush league things the Rockies do, like trying to get into a pitcher’s head by lying about the pitch speed, and the possibility that they fuck with the humidored baseballs. Add that mascot standing behind home plate and you have a trifecta of dishonest baseball. Nobody noticed before because the Rockies sucked ass with their tiny payroll, but now that they’re good this year, MLB should be watching them closely.

How is it allowable to have an employee of the team so obviously trying to influence events on the field? I always thought the humidor thing was tinfoil hat material, but now I’m starting to wonder…

At the risk of
hugely conflating two completely different phenomena, I find it interesting that the Rockies organization has had a track record of being a strongly “Christian” organization and yet also takes part in what can charitably be referred to as “gamesmanship” (Dinger behind home plate waving his arms, the stadium speed gun issue, the humidor, etc.). It seems like these two traits should be incompatible, but maybe not.
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
Pretty typical from my point of view. Many people play the whole “If God is on my side, then anything I do is right and justified.” game.

Hey, there’s still another month. This team isn’t too far out of it.
Really though, that could be enough time for this team to suck so bad that Bochy and/or Sabes don’t return.
Yep its over
Now I guess I have to root for the Rockies to pass the Dodgers. When Miller gets dont cleaning his pants from pitching in a game when it matters he should just get the next bus out of town. Become a tattoo artist. Unfucking.
BTW – why did Bochy take Medders out?
He came back to get Barmes
He had thrown the ball well for 2 1/3. Miller is a 5th inning guy. Valdez is a never should get in a close game guy. You had to stick with Medders there.
Wilson and Medders were heroic
but they were done. Leaving them in would have been suicide. Bochy had to bring in either medders or valdez and hope they were over the Saturday debacle

Sabean should have either put freddie on the Dl or sent down a pitcher and bring up a bat until freddie can play. Somehow I think this all has something to do with frandsen again somehow. Anyway, it probably cost the giants the game.

I don’t agree. If they had the extra bat, Bochy would have wasted him earlier in the game.

I agree, it probably didn't cost them...
It’s just more of the same stupid dead-from-the-neck-up garbage that characterizes this organization, from Sabean on down.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
but, if he puts Sanchez on the DL, he would have to call up Frandsen, and that goes against the cardinal rule of Brian Sabean.

I bet they wouldn’t call up Frandsen, I don’t know whose puppy he ran over but I know who’s sleeping in it’s dog house.
I betcha if they DL Sanchez they bring up someone like Rolinger. Anybody got Judy’s number?
Seriously though… from Baggs blog:
The staff began discussing September callups. I wouldn’t assume everyone on the 40-man is coming up. There might be a surprising omission or two. Also, if you haven’t heard of Dan Runzler, you might want to study up.
cain starts tomorrow. Sanchez would have been the guy, but only after Miller and Valdez, and bochy would have left one of the two in for 3 innings

They’re a sideshow… the only team with a legitimate complaint is the Indians.
Proud member of the Adopt-a-Giant program (Aaron Rowand)
Cubs and Indians...
At least those two teams have World Series wins they can point to at some point in their history. As long as they’ve been in San Francisco, the Giants have never won a World Series. Because I’m a Bay Area native, whatever it is the Giants accomplished in NYC is relatively meaningless to me.
No major pro sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) franchise has has gone as long as the Giants have, without ever having won a championship in their currrent city. 51 years and counting.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
