Post-Game Thread: Giants Win a Laugher
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 25, 2009 10:02 PM PDT

PrintAfter losing two out of three from the Rockies over the weekend, the Giants needed this. They jumped out in front early, and they never looked back, cruising to an easy win.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to change my urine-soaked jeans, and get on with my n...wait, maybe that's blood. I guess it could be bourbon.
I'm kind of looking forward to November, to be honest.

I didn’t watch, but from what I hear, that game got tense.

Loading up the bases in the bottom of the 9th inning tends to do that.

I’m just so happy about how we scored the runs. I mean, we did this thing where you take pitches and get a free base, and then we did it again, and then we did that other thing where you hit the ball really far and, like, everybody gets to run around the bases. Really – they don’t even try to tag you or anything!

Is Nate Schierholtz actually starting to get a clue at the plate? He’s walked two games in a row, and the one in the Rockies’ series was like a ten pitch at bat. Unfortunately, he’s not getting hits right now, which might cause him to abandon this new approach.

that was beautiful. I especially liked the part where Schierholtz suddenly stopped swinging at the slider at his back foot.
Well, that and the jack.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
I didn’t watch either. My heart couldn’t take another close game. And I’m glad I didn’t watch last night’s game for the highlights that I have watched.
I wish I was one of those fans who didn’t get nervous at times like that. I see them rise and clap and yell, and I’m sitting down covering my eyes.

So the Batman game is pretty good? I was thinking of picking it up, but since 95% of licensed games are terrible, I decided to wait.
I feel the same way about licensed games, but fortunately this one is the exception to the rule. The production values are excellent, the writing is top notch, and the gameplay is solid. Every character looks way too buff for my tastes, but it’s still a nice looking game.
Pretty much anytime Kevin Conroy is involved with a Batman project you can guarantee that DC isn’t fucking around.

So..
It’s great that Wilson wanted the ball, and I love that attitude, but jesus how stupid is Bruce Bochy for giving it to him?
Letting him start the inning was one thing but letting him keep going when it was clear he was gassed was so fucking stupid. He should have been taken out after the second baserunner.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
of course if i were managing
I would have let Affeldt start the ninth and had Romo ready to come in if he got into trouble.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
I wouldn't say he was clearly gassed
He was throwing hard, and had a good slider. One of the walks was on a borderline strike three, and one of the hits was just a pop up that landed between Rent and Lewis. And Roberts singled on a pretty good pitch.
HA HA HA LOOK AT ME I'M ALL HAPPY AND STUFF NO REALLY CAN WE STOP WITH THE COOKYMAN IS SAD JOKES?

well
you know i wasn’t actually watching
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
Well, I was going to ask
But by now it’s impossible to say “did you watch the game?” without sounding like a dick.
HA HA HA LOOK AT ME I'M ALL HAPPY AND STUFF NO REALLY CAN WE STOP WITH THE COOKYMAN IS SAD JOKES?
:-) :-) :-)
I would say he was gassed. Some pitchers lose control, not velocity, when they get tired.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
He didn't looked gas coming into the game to me
If he gets that strike three pitch or that bloop hit doesn’t find a safe place to land, no one would have said he was gassed.
My thinking is that Bochy gave Wilson a chance for an “easy” (3 -run lead) save after using him so many non-save situations lately. Saves might not mean much to us, but they clearly do to closers. He probably had given Wilson the option of resting or not.
People can crap all over Bochy, but that’s the type of thing a “player’s manager” does and the type of thing that gets players to run through a brick wall for the manager.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
I agree, it really wasn’t until the bloop landed in that he really started to look tired. I definitely think it would be pushing it to use Wilson again tonight.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

Even though Wilson didn’t get out of there, he gets more respect from me with every outing. I’m sure he wanted the ball despite last night and he still hit 100mph on the Comcast gun during the Roberts AB. Stud. He’d take the ball again tomorrow and pitch underhand if he had to.

This game ended better than I expected
I was confused when Wilson came in and when he gave up the 2 out hit, I felt we were going to blow the lead. Too bad Cain didn’t win, it looks like 12 is the number of destiny. I’m not sure what the bigger surprise was, actually holding on to the lead or Nate drawing a walk.
The 1st pitch is the best

Nate could easily have had 2 walks. The strikeout pitch in his 1st AB was later called a ball. Still think he needs a day off though.

Wow, pretty pathetic when I try to defend Nate’s walks. But he’s slumping, and honestly, should be sat until he figures it out.

I think he should convert to Starting.
You can get away with being wild to the first couple of batters. Will need 2 offspeed pitches, though.
What makes you think he’ll stop being wild after the first couple of batters?
HA HA HA LOOK AT ME I'M ALL HAPPY AND STUFF NO REALLY CAN WE STOP WITH THE COOKYMAN IS SAD JOKES?
:-) :-) :-)
His big problem is that his fastball is straighter than a ruler (lol henry viii amirite). Starting won’t fix that.
Also, the stamina thing.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Throwing offspeed pitches will increase his stamina since he won’t be grunting out 97mph fastballs out of the windup as often.
Straight fastballs aren’t a problem if one can complement it with a split-finger or change-up.
Offspeed pitches don’t increase stamina, they decrease it. Sliders, curve balls, and splitters are all much harder on the elbow than fastballs.

He's not turning into Frank Tanana.
Loading up and firing 100mph fastballs takes energy out of the entire body. Since it’s straight, throwing the splitter as his 0-2 swing-thru should be to his advantage. Add a change-up and things could work out for 6 innings.
Do you actually know how pitching mechanics work?
Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, deserved all-star and hacker extraordinaire
Thanks to roger
I've never been happier to have Crabs
OK, I'll just say it again
Offspeed pitches don’t increase stamina, they decrease it. Sliders, curve balls, and splitters are all much harder on the elbow than fastballs.
If it’s easier on your arm to throw a split or a change up than it is to throw a fastball, you’re simply doing it wrong. Offspeed pitches only work if they’re thrown with the same arm motion as fastballs (so the fact that fastballs are faster is irrelevant), but with a different grip, and they are always harder to throw – splitters are harder on the elbow, and change ups are harder on the shoulder. And breaking pitches are even worse.
HA HA HA LOOK AT ME I'M ALL HAPPY AND STUFF NO REALLY CAN WE STOP WITH THE COOKYMAN IS SAD JOKES?

I thought the Garko trade was gamble and I was/am cool with this that. A team like the ’09 Giants gets into the most trouble by playing things too safe. I would be fine with just one of these trades that but both makes me think we are going to see Sabean back to his trading under 30 help for over 32 help ways.
Add Big Heads phobia for none All Stars position players with less than 5 years MLB experience and this could be a very ugly off season for me.

Sadly I’ve reached a state were I don’t think they will fail to renew Sabean’s contract. I don’t like it but really the only way I see him leaveing the GM chair in the next 2-3 years is if they promote him up and out.
So that leaves just Big Head. After a surprisingly good season there would be an unroar and so I doubt they have the guts to move on from him either at this point.

We know what Sanchez and Garko are
and that is players that are decent but not that great. They have peaked, and from now on will be going downhill. I’d rather take my chances with young guys than with veterans who don’t help the team that much right now and won’t get better. What have Gark and Sanchez done since they got here that was all that helpful?

They’re both young for their league. I liked Barnes more than Alderson; the Garko trade makes me so mad every time we start Ishi. Traded a great prospect for fucking platoon in a year we may not even make the playoffs.

You think it’s easy to switch leagues at this late stage of the season? He won the game in Cincinnati with his 4 RBI’s, and if not for the sixth inning meltdown by the Giants’ pitching staff in Colorado, he would have been the star of that game too. God forbid Buster Posey goes 0 for 4 in his first game with the Giants.

Garko's had more than 21 ABs
and yeah, he’s been unlucky. I actually don’t mind that one as much as the Sanchez trade. I may have stated it too strongly up there ^. I’m willing to wait on Garko, but what’s annoying is that we traded for a platoon player. If he’s going to be that good, fucking idiot bochy (his new name) will have to play him more often.

I thought Garko hits pretty well against LHP and RHP. I think you’rte referring to him as a “platoon player” only because there’s another guy on the roster who swings from the other side.

He is not significantly better than Ishikawa against righties.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Didn't say he was...
…but he’d have to be significantly worse against RHP to be a platoon player.
In an ideal world, you don’t have to devote two roster spots to 1B and I think Garko certainly has the better potential to be an everyday 1B than Ishi.
I think Ishi still has a role on the team (def replacement, PH, start against tough RHP), but should continue to take balls in the OF to make himself more usefull.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
Well, as long as Ishi is on the team and Garko isn’t really a better hitter against righties, and Ishi is much much better on defense, that makes Garko a platoon player on this team.
And no, Travis shouldn’t be taking balls in the outfield. His value is almost entirely in his glove at first. Without that, he probably shouldn’t be in the game. There are plenty of left-handed hitters who already play outfield and adding another one won’t solve a single problem the Giants have.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
I agree he's a primarily a 1B
I meant that Ishi should be taking balls in the OF for his own sake.
As the team builds future rosters, he has a better chance of staying on the big team if he can also be a 5th OF.
For example :
If the team were to sign Holliday or Bay in the off-season, I could see them deciding both Lewis and Schierholtz as being redundant and moving one of them. If Ishi can play a little LF as well as 1B, he could give the GINATS BRASS flexibility to carry another infielder or pitcher.
Guys like Ishi, Uribe, Torres and even Velez make themselves more valuable when they play multiple positions.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
I can't see any scenario where that would help him
Next year, here will be some people (presumably) ahead of Travis on the OF depth chart:
Rowand
Schierholtz
Bowker
Lewis
Velez
(if he’s still around, sorry can of corn but yes he might be gone) Torres
Bowker, Nate, and Fred are all corner outfielders who hit left-handed. Being fourth on that depth chart is like being the emergency catcher: not really something that will help him stick around.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Bowker vs.Ishi
I could see the last roster spot coming down to Ishi or Bowker. If their bats are evaluated as equal, it could come down to the flexibilty they provide.
Ishi could potnetially lose a role on the team if management were to decide “We don’t really need Travis. He’s a backup 1B and Bowker can serve that role.”
On the other hand, if Ishi can run around LF, catch some balls and make good throws, they might say, “We don’t really need to keep a Bowker on the roster since Ishi can play LF and also play GREAT defense at 1B.”
Deciding on one of those guys lets you keep guys like Torres and Velez on the roster or an extra arm in the pen.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
so what's he going to be when he finally plays to his potential?
A .360/.450, below average fielding first basemen? That may be a marginal upgrade over Ishikawa but it’s still well below average production to get from first base.

You've inferred a meaning to what I wrote far different than what I meant, and I don't even follow you.
Grant helped me out with a lot of details for a pre-season piece I wrote on Sandoval. I guess I thought I was looking out for him (and resources I’ve used from the Pit and TBLA) in checking potential mistakes. I have that going with other writers. Mistakes happen. It’s just a good way to keep things right. It was honestly an attempt to be helpful, and I didn’t expect such a backlash.

And no, not a reply fail, just a general comment because there have been a few a-holes comin around lately.

You must be referring to others
I in no way did I ever say MCC’s ideas were wrong. Not being fully aware of the nature of the site led me to think there was a technical mistake, when the mistake was indeed my own misinterpretation. That’s all. It’s not how I write, but by all means, operate under what works. Purple Row, I believe, has more traffic than any NL West blog other than MCC, but it’s not even close for the divisional title. I also never insinuated anyone was stupid or unwelcoming for any reason, least of all anyone’s sense of humor. But for the record, “YOU SUCK” certainly isn’t welcoming.

That's part of the deal here
it’s sarcastic humor. If you don’t enjoy it, then don’t bother staying. It might just be me, but I think it’s a little douchey to go to a site and instantly think you can fix something that’s wrong with the author’s post. He was obviously making a point there, and you should have understood that from the context.
If you didn’t, again, this might not be the most enjoyable environment for you.

As I had said before, I thought I was being helpful
not some pretentious snob saying “Grant you’re so wrong. Your whole blog is wrong.” I freely admit I missed it the point of the post in context, and that’s fine. You can have your sarcastic humor. I admit it’s not my cup of tea, but I still enjoy talking baseball with fans from rival teams.

As a rule, YOU SUCK has never been used as a welcome. No, not even in Europe. (Hard to believe, if you ask me.) I’m sorry you either do not understand the over the top and caustic nature of the average poster on this site, and I’m sorry you cannot decipher an over the top charge of YOU SUCK as anything other that an indictment on you. I can’t make you see the humor in the taking a piss out of conventional meathead message board antics, which is clearly what YOU SUCK was meant to convey. If you were a regular participant in our community it would be clearer. More clear? Clearer? Shit. One of those two.

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