Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Postgame Thread: Astros, Giants offense defeat the Giants

One of the easiest traps for fans to fall into: blaming a single player for a loss. If only Joe Shlabotnik had hit a double in the fourth, we would have won! That ignores that the four hitters after Shlabotnik didn't reach base at all, for example. Losing is a team-wide endeavor.

But I still think I'll link to this article -- a look at the worst cleanup hitters since 1957 - about once every week. Molina's OPS+ right now has moved him into a tie for second worst in the past 52 years; he's in a tight race with Willie Kirkland from the 1962 Indians. That's just awesome.

Don't worry, though. Usually 34-year-old, out-of-shape catchers save their best work for September. I have a good feeling about this one.

Could one of the computers around here give me some kind of idea

of how much lineup optimization tends to help a team (especially one with a shitty offense like ours)? And, as such, how much Bengie hitting 4th really hurts us?

And, speaking of, that’s one thing I’ve always wondered. We know Bengie is a bit of a whiner. What if he just won’t accept a move out of cleanup? And Bochy needs to keep him happy because like it or not, he’s our catcher, so he keeps starting him every day hitting 4th.

A lineup full o' Bengies . . .

Would post 3.55 runs/gm. Look at the RC27 line here. Most of his value is in his 11 dingers.

Sounds like a lot, I know. But if you really had a team where all your at bats were taken by guys who averaged 1 HR in every 32 ABs, you’d had a team that would manage to score a few runs.

I guess I don’t pay enough attention to the Dodgers. Russell Martin’s offense has gone to crap (although he’s still better than Bengie and of course not batting cleanup).

“Accept” a move? He’s not like Bonds, whose ability gives him some leeway in how he’s used. He’s a middle-of-the-road player, with super crappy offense. It’s not like he should be able to determine the lineup based on his sense of entitlement.

@#$% Juan Uribe. Dios es grande.

by marcello on Aug 3, 2009 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Who else?

Well, Bengie’s OBP is terrible because his walk rate is virtually non-existent. He had a higher AVG than OBP almost 3 months into the season this year (more SF than BB/HBP); seeing Bengie both draw a walk and hit a triple in the same season is worthy of printing up a commemorative t-shirt!

That said, if you eliminate Pable cause we want him hitting in the hole at #3, then who else do you put there? The only guy who has a better SLG is Rowand, and he was our leadoff hitter until this past weekend. But now that they’ve put Winn at leadoff, I think it might make sense to drop Rowand to cleanup until Bengie can hit better. He’s certainly regressed from last year, even though his AB/HR is still about the same; however his BB rate has dropped even more than usual (he’s on pace for just half of last year’s number, and it would be a career low) and he’s on pace for the most K’s of his career. He was probably the best Giant to have in that cleanup spot last year, when he led the team in HR, RBI and SF. And he leads in all 3 of those categories again this year. He’s not exactly Jeff Kent when you think “professional hitter,” but he still is one of the best Giants at getting in a runner from 3B w less than 2 outs – though if there’s also a guy on 1B I guess he’s also among the leaders at ending it the inning … (possible lesser known fact: Rowand was right behind Bengie in GDP last season, and is only 1 behind him this year; but Renteria actually leads the team in GDP.)

The problem is, excluding those guys down south who play in Petco, the Giants have the worst OBP, SLG and OPS in the league. On this team, I just don’t think you can put the traditional “power” hitter at cleanup on this team. Bengie’s AB/HR is still the3rd best on the team behind Sandoval. The one guy who has just a fractionally higher HR rate than him? Bowker. I think we’re in agreement Bowker shouldn’t be hitting cleanup even if he’s starting. Ishikawa is just behind him, and he’s not the right guy to bat there either. Bengie’s still got the 2nd highest isolated power on the team. The problem is his OPS is now nearly 100 pts lower than last year. Our cleanup batter still had the lowest OPS in the league last year – it’s just even more noticeable this season cause Bengie’s OPS is < 700.

Nope, since no one really hits for power on this team, I think the middle of the lineup should just be based on OPS, and we ignore HR. If you think Garko’s ready then he could slot in there, but otherwise we ask our “he’ll bat anywhere we ask him” guy: Aaron Rowand. From #2 on, Sanchez, Sandoval, Rowand, Garko/Ishikawa, Molina.

But I have faith in Bengie. He’ll won’t finish the season as cleanup hitter in the league. Woohoo Kouzmanoff and the Padres. Print up those t-shirts that say “Bengie is our Dave Kingman!”

by 18 Mile on Aug 4, 2009 5:32 AM PDT up reply actions  

Who else? Garko is a far better choice in the #4 then Molinia right now. So would be Rowand. As would be Nate. The thing is this is not a squad that is likely to produce extra base hits outside of Panda and to some extant Freddy Sanchez should regularly cough up some doubles and the rest is all about riding the hot hand. As for MOlinia’s ISO that is about like being the tallest dwarf on this squad. I am not the world biggest fan of Money ball but on a squad lacking power like this offense is 3/4rd about OBP. The rest have enough speed to take 90 feet on the other squads screw up and not making base paths screw ups your self (glances at Velez).

Outside of Lewis , Garko, and sometimes Panda the rest of this group of position players are a bunch of brain dead hackers with Freddy Sanchez probably the least so of the rest. So putting Garko behind Panda makes a lot of sense. If the #1 or Freddy Sanchez gets on odds are decent Panda will see a pitch he can do something with. If there are 2 runners on the one thing Garko does not seem to do it let the other pitcher off easy inside of 3-4 pitches. You put most pitchers in hot water and give them enough rope they will hang themselves for you, eventually. Use Rowand or whoever has the hot hand in #5.

As for lead off I am fine with Winn there vs RHP. Against LHP whoever is working the count consitantly and post decent OBP recently among the non lead feet, NOT WINN, players but for the rest of this season .

That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.

not a great play usually, especially for a power hitter. I can agree with it sometimes if a guy is in a slump and it won’t affect the game, but this time, the situation called for Panda to hit a homer, not try to bunt for a hit.

“It’s a situation where that obviously it’s prudent of us to keep an eye on,” Barry Axelrod said Monday. “We see the moves the Giants are making and continue to sort out exactly where Richie fits there. One thing we feel a little comfortable about is, we know (Bruce) Bochy’s fondness for staying with veterans and knowing what they can do off the bench. It’s something that comes down to numbers, and we don’t know where the numbers come out right now.”

Some of you may recall part one of this discussion, linked within. Suffice it to say, Bengie is sucking at epic levals.

Someone on the D. Bruce show actually just said Molina was sucking because his feelings were hurt due to the Giants not giving him an extension yet. And, needless to say Damon agreed Bengie needs a contract extension and then mumbled something about how Bengie would hit 15 more HR this year.

Is this garbage for real? It sounds like some sort of disinformation campaign the way Bengie is protected on KNBR and by the Giants broadcasters..

I’m realizing that getting mad at Molina for sucking is completely misplaced anger.

Bochy is the one who’s charged with putting the best lineup on the field, in an order that maximizes the chances for getting on base and scoring runs. Molina is actually hurting the Giants chances of winning the game by batting cleanup. Or arguably, by batting at all.

So I choose to be pissed off at Bochy, because it’s a righteous anger. And also, it’s fun.

Cross Rios off the wish list
baggs: Hi Nathan. I asked Giants officials specifically about Rios and was told the money was prohibitive. No team in the majors took on more salary at the deadline than the St. Louis Cardinals, and that was less than $7 million. You just aren’t going to see teams take on salary in this economy. Since Rios remains a relatively productive player, I’m sure Toronto has no interest in moving him if they’ve got to eat most of his salary to do so.

I don’t think they would necessarily have to eat the whole thing for the Giants to be interested. If they paid the rest of this years + part of next years, maybe the Giants would think it would get them past this rough economy and they could afford them in the future

[Comment From peter]
What do you think of advanced defensive stats like UZR. Those stats seem to say that F. Lewis is a good left fielder – but my eyes and experience tell me Lewis is not very good.
11:38

baggs: I agree, Peter. But UZR doesn’t measure “good defense.” It measures range. Just because you can get to a ball doesn’t mean you’re going to catch it, or throw to the right base, etc. Lewis is an erratic defensive outfielder, and that, as much as any other reason, is why he lost his starting job. The Giants can’t afford to bumble the ball behind their pitching staff.

There is no overarching stat to measure overall defensive ability. You have to take bits of pieces, and of course, combine any statistical analysis with the impressions you get with these wonderful things called eyeballs. Like most things in life, a mixed, well rounded approach is always the best one.

Lewis actually has a pretty good arm, though. And having good range does kind of help you catch the ball. You know, because you get to more of them, and also because the ones that are harder for other people are now easier for you. It doesn’t make your ability to catch better, but it does make it easier to catch more balls.

So… yeah…
