Post-Game Thread: Giants Ruin a Perfectly Good Rant

The only way Doug Davis gets through even five innings is if he's facing a brainless, undisciplined lineup. Either Carney Lansford has no clue just how undisciplined the lineup is, the players don't listen to him, or hitting coaches have absolutely no effect on major league hitters. Take your pick. Either way, there's no benefit to keeping him around.
The only way Ryan Rohlinger is on this team before the rosters expand is if the front office thinks tha...
Ha! Are the Giants really sending Bengie Molina up to pinch-hit for Ryan Garko? Awesome. CLEANUP HITTER POWERS ACTIVATE! FORM OF: SLOVENLY, LIMPING HACKER! The word "clutch" just went through Bruce Bochy's brain. A man who gets paid millions of dollars to do what he does just sent up a...

Bengie sez
“I always try to look for the best pitch.”
It’s usually the first pitch I see. Sometimes I blink when the pitcher delivers, so then I have to wait two pitches to groundout.
"I don't always lay off the first pitch, but when I do, I prefer it be a strike."
Stay thirsty, my mang.

Maybe the Giants should hit Bengie in the legs before every game so he hits better.

if Bengie is reading, we love you Bengie. The only reason we say bad things about you is because Sabean and Bochy put you in the cleanup spot, where you simply do not belong. If you batted seventh and did what you do, nobody would have a problem with you. It’s not you, it’s not us, it’s the guys running this team and making this lineup.

This. It’s not fair to expect him to live up to being the cleanup hitter. I think it has actually been counterproductive in leading him to try to hit with more power than he naturally possesses.

I was particularly annoyed with the leadoff homer. I don’t know if I should blame Bengie for the pitch calling or Sanchez for throwing the pitch but it sucked ass.

I want to believe. He actually has made a lot of progress as a pitcher this year. Man, if he and Zito both pitch the way they have in the second half, and Lincecum and Cain keep being Lincecum and Cain, the rotation next year is just going to be sick.

I remember Randy WInn did something like this against the Dodgers a few years back. Hit a grandslam to tie the game and rounded the bases limping…but I think we still lost that game.
I was at the game
There was a group of Dodger fans sitting infront of us that were doing a “Russell Martin Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap” chant the entire game. I wanted to smash their faces open with a crow bar. It felt awesome to be able to temporarily say something back after the granny.

There was a time he fouled a pitch off his leg and really seemed to be hurt. Then hit a grand slam that tied the game. I think the Giants actually ended up losing though.

He god lucky
Big difference. They’re down 2 in the 8th, and he brings in a guy that can barely jog around the bases. The only way they go ahead in that inning is if he hits a home run. Yeah, it’s possible he could have hit a double, and Winn could have gone around the bases to tie the game, but considering the state of the bullpen, tying the game wasn’t much of an option either.
They had to get a home run, and Bochy rolled the dice and came up snake eyes. I don’t give him credit for that, I give the baseball gods credit for throwing us a bone.

So my brother, who hates baseball, is in town.
So, we chat about this, that, politics, Ted Kennedy. Finally they leave, and I go downstairs,and my son, who excused himself when dinner was over, which I’m fine with, one of us needed to keep tabs on the game, said, Dad, no point watching. We’ve sucked all night, we’re down 3-1, two outs, eighth inning, nobody on, no chance whatsoever we win this. And i said, ah, heck, let’s watch anyway, maybe we pull this out.
And then Rent draws a walk. First pitch single from Winn. And then Bruce Bochy pinch hits
for a slow right handed power hitter, brings up
A slower right handed power hitter

Yeah, but with the exception of the other night, when they call the actual play it tends to be pretty even keel. A little more oomph behind it when good things happen for the Giants, but most of the homerism happens between calls with our crew.
At least, it always seemed that way to me.

I agree with this, they brought me back into baseball after the strike.
However, Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are pretty good. Santo is the epitome of homer. His non-verbals are great, and he is just a great guy too. However I have heard that his illnesses are getting worse and he is not having such a great year. If you have gameday audio, listening to a Cubs game with those guys is worth the time.
As a kid I got to experience Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray too. Kruk and Kuip are probably better than those guys, because Krukow is a much better color guy than those legends ever had with them.
I'm a big fan of the Mets' team
(of announcers).
They’re a little homerish (KH says “we” instead of “they” or “the Mets” a lot), but nothing obnoxious. Gary Cohen has a Cray supercomputer in his head, Ron Darling has great insight and pitching analysis, and Keith Hernandez, in case you didn’t know, is Keith Hernandez. Tthey were joking about grabbing a beer during the game the other night, and Keith said, “I’d love to, but my mouth gets me in enough trouble when I’m sober.”
By the way, the last two days saw the official ends of the season for Santana, Putz, AND Oliver Perez. The 2009 salary of the Mets’ DL is $94.8m, greater than the Opening Day payrolls of eighteen teams.
LOL Mets!

But, technically, he’s paid to teach infield defense. The rest is opinion (that he should keep to his own damn self).
Ahhh, never mind. I’m probably just being an equivocating, word-parsing troll.
I always liked Shawon, though. Carney, too (see way below). Both have always struck me as “good guys,” in the parlance of commentators. I just wish they were better at making the Giants hit well.
Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

I sure can pick 'em
So I’m a Panthers football fan. And this season with the Giants gets me feeling like I did in 2003 with the Panthers. Every game was a heart attack, good or bad. They were rolling, then they nearly collapsed, then they almost won it all. I don’t know how this will end, but THANK YOU GIANTS for not giving up.

Lewis’ contract is structured so we can cut him any year. Goldson should be a SS, he’s not really fast enough to play FS. Berry is true ball hawk safety, his college career is really similar to Ed Reed. Last 2 years he’s had 12 ints for 487 yards and 3 tds.
Nice
Goldson is Lewis 2.0. dude can crush people. It’s really fun to watch him fly around the field.

I really don't think Berry is that great of a fit in the Niners D
they need a dominant safety who can go play centerfield, and that’s exactly what Mays is. Honestly you really can’t go wrong with either.

Berry is a pure cover safety…i really don’t see how that doesn’t fit. Mays looks good in that USC defense but I doubt his game will translate that well to the NFL.
it's not that he doesn't fit, it's that Mays fits better
and Mays is a freak of nature athlete, i don’t see how his game won’t translate to the NFL…
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Being an athletic freak doesn’t mean you’re game will translate. He doesn’t play close to his 40 time during games and doesn’t make nearly enough plays on defense to warrant the hype he gets. The ferocious front 7 USC has can mask a lot of flaws. He’ll continue to get hype during the season but that won’t mean he’s going to be a high draft pick.
Berry is also going to have the advantage of playing in an NFL defense this year, since Monte Kiffen is going to be his defensive coordinator.
Goldson can be the big hitter
they’re probably going to want the guy who can cover and make TEH INTURCEPSHUNS

Taylor Mays is athletic but he can’t tackle for shit. He tries to blow people up every play but can’t wrap up to save his life. Remember when everyone thought Darnell Bing was going to be great when he was at USC? Mays also has poor ball skills.
Eric Berry is a pure playmaker at S, he can hit, he has awesome Ed Reed like ballskills, and has great instincts for the position. He already is only 20 interception return yards away from setting the NCAA record for a career. And he’s only entering his Junior year.
Berry is a better player than Mays. he plays in a better league ona worse team and dominates. He makes bone-crushing hits all the time.
the 49ers won’t sign their first round draft pick next year anyway.

Juan Uribe.
Just because the people in front of him can’t get on base doesn’t make his HRs less special. Especially considering that they have been the difference in both games so far.
I choose to watch the Giants try to score runs. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
he yoked them to about the same spots, too.

Sandman could not carry his own movie. It should have been about Harry taking over as Green Goblin, or into Hobgoblin. It was a bad choice. If they were gonna go with Venom it should have been all in and had Parker get the black suit in this movie, then end with him getting rid of it and Brock becoming Venom. No Venom in 3, 4 about Venom, then Maximum Carnage.

I hate Bengie Molina, he is high on my list of least favorite current Giants.
One thing I have noticed is that when I am actively talking about how much he sucks, he tends to do something good (and he usually screws up the rest of the time.) I first noticed this during the Giants/Reds series at AT&T a while back. My wife and I went to a couple of games, and each time he came up I was talking about how bad he was going to screw up. He hit a couple of home runs that series and had a few other nice hits as well.
So, when he came up tonight, I started consciously working my magic. I started talking out loud about how bad he was, how he was bound to screw this up, and how he was the last guy I wanted up in this situation. We all know how that turned out.
Thank me later, and shoot, try it for yourself. It works so far!
This is called
“The Principle of Earnest Ragging”. It was invented, I believe, by Gregg Perlmann, author of EEEEEEEE!!! (and Grant’s blogfather). It may even pre-date EEEEEEEE! and go all the way back to alt.sports.baseball.sf-giant… oh wait, i bet I can google it…
Gregg here dates it to 1987, which is certainly pre USENET… FIDONET? The original Well???? No one knows…

Mr Merope had that going on with JT Snow, not that he hated him…. he just hated his bat. “A first baseman needs to hit, JT Snow doesn’t hit! He couldn’t hit his way out of a wet paper bag!”

I wonder if that would work now that JT’s a broadcaster. “He can’t pronounce anything right!”

“Bengie is our clean-up hitter,” Bochy said. “If he’s not in the starting lineup he’s the guy I use when the game is on the line. It’s hard to get a bigger hit.”
it worked tonight
but ughhh I mean Sandoval was available.
"A foghorn blowing out wild and cold." -Dire Straits
I hate to defend bochy for anything, but Molina’s power comes from the low ball. He has always been a low ball hitter, and Qualls is a sinkerball pitcher. Molina was slightly better suited to get the ball.
Defense over, cause I wanted Pablo in there as well.

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t stupid. That’s baseball, the difference between making the right move vs. the wrong move is maybe a 30% chance of success vs. 25%. In the long run, choosing wrong all the time hurts your chances, but any given choice is almost inconsequential. You might be “wrong” yet proven spectacularly right.

just watched the replay on the giants site. man oh man. There was an elderly couple sitting in front of me and friend who had earphones on, listening to knbr the whole game. After Bengie’s homer, I leaned forward and asked what Flem was saying about the homer. They smiled and laughed and said they couldn’t hear because it was so loud in the stadium. We all agreed that was a good thing.

my buddy and I were not expecting the homer, but we were up in the VR312… there was NO ONE up there, he wanted to high five as many people as possible, so he had to go up a row, and over a section to get good coverage

I thought it would be caught. I looked at my friend and couldn’t believe it.

i said this above, but the other stupid thing, for us, is that we were paying attention to the pitching change, and didn’t realize it wasn’t Garko when it was hit in the air. I still am not 100% sure why Bengie was in there, but at this point I’m beyond worrying about it

I looked down right as it was pitched and saw some big dude take a cut. I had no idea there was a pinch hitter at all.

I was sure there was no winning tonight. My buddy and I had settled into chatting about the giants in general. We were coasting. In fact I was giving him some insight about the in-jokes on MCC here, since he has been a lurker. I think he was interested enough to start posting here in the future. Then BAM, WTF? In the top of the ninth, I was saying to him: Wait, we might have a chance? It was kind of surreal.

My buddy and me were watching at his house, and we burst out laughing when Bengie Molina stepped up to the plate. Then it happened. I spilled my Coors, he said, “What the fuck, seriously?” and then we got up and started cheering.
It was awesome. Fuck you, Giants, for giving me such a great moment, and keeping my flickering flame of faith alight.
Srsly?
MLB.com doesn’t have Bengie in their top five. naturally, they have Big Crappy’s walkoff as #1.

I was watching ESPN this morning hoping to catch the replay
and they didnt’ even show the fricking highlights within the first half hour…then i had to leave for work. If something like this had happened to the yankees they’d have a wild orgy over there with a 20 minute-long segment about it to lead off the show.
i hate espn and the fact there’s really no alternative to watching sporting highlights.

I started watching sportscenter at 10 last night. Their lead for the show was the dodgers beating the rockies 6-1. I thought “ok, then they will move into the Giants game, cause of the NL west and Wild Card”
Wrong.
They moved right into the Red Sox Walk off.
At 10:40 they finally showed the Giants highlights. It consisted of the lead off HR. Rohlinger grounding into a double play in the second. The Dbacks scoring again beating Winn’s noodle armed throw. Then Bengies HR in the 8th. NO MENTION that he was pinch hitting or even hurt. The replay of the HR was just the hit, you saw it going into the stands then the final score of the game popped up and they moved on.
I was very upset at how much they ignored it and the significance.

They’ve been doing that rotation all week, actually. They’ve been starting with Dodgers/Rockies. Then they move on to Yankees or Sox, then to the AL Wild card. Then, it’s Favre and football, and then 30 – 40 minutes down the line…Giants.

I was thinking about this during the game...
so I looked it up on SFGiants.com
Starter’s ERAs last 30 days:
B. Zito 2.08
J. Sanchez 2.70
M. Cain 2.72
T. Lincecum 2.95
and just for funsies, their W-L records over that time:
B. Zito 2-1
J. Sanchez 3-1
M. Cain 0-2
T. Lincecum 1-1
Over the last month, our 3-4 starters have been better than our 1-2 starters, with all of them compiling an ERA under 3. WOW.
oh, and Romo, Affeldt and Wilson are 6-2 over the last 30 days.
Brand new adoptive daddy for the Big Unit. Congrats go out to my son for his 300th win. Only 211 more wins until he catches Cy Young!

I’m in agreement that W-L record is not a good stat at all. I just thought it was interesting. If anything, it shows when the games have been decided over the last month, that is, mostly in the 7th, 8th and 14th 9th. With the way the starting pitching has been over the last month, the Giants should have a better record. the team is 16-11 over that span.

no, I was focusing more on that as good as Cain and Lincecum have been, Zito and Sanchez have been better lately and the whole rotation has been AMAZING

Why isn't Sabean held accountable for leading the Giants into many years of mediocrity???
I’ve figured that studying for class is more important than a giants game, but i’ve had a few people out here in Ohio talk to me about the giants, but last weekend was pretty bad. I was uptown at the bar, and this girl walks up to me and she asks who’s the best player on the team, and i went with Cain since he’s my favorite player, and she just flat out tells me i’m not a giants fan since i dont think Lincecum is the best…
ummm… Cain’s pretty damn good as well.. but you see what i’m saying? she flat out shut me down and walked away because i said that Cain is pretty damn good

Jeremy Affeldt will be on XM Radio on about 25 minutes
As Kevin Kennedy and the other guy ( I can’t remember his name) where going to commercial, the following exchange took place:
Kennedy: “How big was that win last night? Benig Molina is clutch!”
The other guy: " And he is going to be a FA next year"
Kennedy: "The Giants should look to re-sign him. Although they do have a good catching prospect in the minors.
The other guy: “Eli Whiteside?”
Kennedy: “Yeah, that’s him. I am not sure he is ready.”
I facepalmed.

Carney DOES know how undisciplined the lineup is.
“We don’t have a lot of what I call ‘professional hitters,’” says Giants hitting coach Carney Lansford. “They make me bang myself over the head with this clipboard sometimes.”
This is from the SI article where Shawon made the mailman comment.
You’re right that, as hitting coach, he should be having some effect on the hacking, though. Dammit, Carney, you were one of my first favorite players. Why can’t you continue to live up to the pedestal upon which my 6-yo self put you?
Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

my take on it
I hate both teams I want them both too lose. One of them will lose today; I’ll take it and I won’t focus on who wins. And when the Giants take the field tonight I say “WIN NOW!”
"A foghorn blowing out wild and cold." -Dire Straits
This works.
Also it cannot hurt to hope that the game today goes 37 innings.
"This season is expecting a $10,000 bonus, actually getting $50,000 but then accidentally setting $25,000 of that on fire." - AngelWillSaveUs
2-1
Smith tripled, helton just walked, and Tulowitzki up with 2 outs
"A foghorn blowing out wild and cold." -Dire Straits
now tied 2-2
Tulo bloop single with two outs. Smith scores
"A foghorn blowing out wild and cold." -Dire Straits
Reading this, I realize I now hate the Rockies more than I hate the Dodgers. I’m sorry but it’s true.
I blame myself for Tulo taking off. In the NL West Previews I said this about him:
Look for Tulowitzky to win a gold glove this year, and be in the running for a batting title. Dude’s good, and when healthy will be downright scary.
Aside from the batting title, and whatever else I may have said about the Rox in that article, Tulo is damn scary when he is up to bat in a position to hurt you. The guy also has mad defense.
"This season is expecting a $10,000 bonus, actually getting $50,000 but then accidentally setting $25,000 of that on fire." - AngelWillSaveUs
It's times like these when I'm happy to admit
that I don’t have any effect on the outcome, regardless of who I root for…
Therefore, I will not be rooting for either team. Whatever happens, will happen.
One of those teams will win, and that’s BAD.
Extra innings would be all kinds of good.
But if the Rockies were to win it in extra innings, I’d want it to be due to catcher interference.
Nothing dramatic.
I have two letters and two digits to add:

Did anyone else notice this from Grant's post on the front page?
Bengie Molina
- / Catcher / San Francisco Giants
Height: 5-11
Weight: 225Bats: R
Throws: R
Born: Jul 20, 1974
Now if Molina tips the scales at only 225 pounds, then we all need to get the type of scale that he stands on.
Why isn't Sabean held accountable for leading the Giants into many years of mediocrity???
Maybe its in kilograms? But then he weights 496lbs, which now seems like a bit too much…
