Post-Game Recap: Whiteside Blind Sides Astros

PrintWhat? I'm allowed to write a hacky headline every so often.
If you've visited this site for a while, you're probably aware that I'm not the most statistically savvy blogger in the world. I respect how it feels to be drunk on stats power, sure, but I'm not sure how to crunch my own numbers. So if I write something like, "Doesn't it seem like adding a couple extra major league hitters take this lineup from historically awful to just a tick below average?", please excuse the unanswered question. I don't really know how to make that anything more than a rhetorical question.
But doesn't it seem like adding a couple extra major league hitters take this lineup from historically awful to just a tick below average?

You gotta just win the inning
and you win!!! This is a shut down inning for sanchez…get 1 out then 2 outs then 3 outs. That’s a good inning. It’s like John Madden yet not good.

Eh, Martinez was okay
Not sure if he should get another start; that being said, I don’t think our other options are particularly good either.
I know it sounds crazy, but given the “win-now” edict, I’m not sure if Ramon Ortiz isn’t a-not-awful-idea-even-though-he-sounds like it. His upside is 4th SP performance, but an ERA+ of 85-90 at the 5th slot? I’d take it.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
I want absolutely no part of Ramon Ortiz. And I doubt his upside is 85-90.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
His line in AAA
90 Innings Pitched, 2.48 ERA, 82/25 K/BB ratio. That’s not awful by any means, and Fresno or the PCL aren’t exactly pitcher friendly.

I semi-believe in Ortiz, but what’s the point? Is he going to be substantially better than an actual young pitcher who might help in the future? No.
right
That’s a fair point no doubt. But his performance in AAA has been very impressive, and blocking Joey (good story aside) doesn’t seem to be a big deal for me; I’m not a believer.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

What was impressive about Martinez today is not the stat line; borderline quality start, nothing special. it was the way he got there, the way he got hit early, pulled himself together, kept us in the game. Sadowsky either pitched great or lousy. Sanchez would give us three good innings then fall apart. Joey battled. Nice to see.

this whole “gritty gamer who got through a tough inning, and maybe he can do it again” approach scares me, especially since the Rockies never lose. I like Martinez, but he sure as heck wasn’t convincing today.

Look, I don't think Ortiz is the savior
I think he’s a 5th starter in the NL West. But I’m singularly unconvinced by Joey Martinez, and I think he offers some marginal improvement based on performance alone.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
I don’t see why Joey doesn’t get another start. This wasn’t just “gritty gamer who got through a tough inning.”
5 IP, 0 BB, 4 K. That’s good. Sure he allowed 3 ER, but the peripherals were good, and maybe the defense gets a couple of those hits next time. The hits just came too close together.
This isn’t TBS pitching 7 or 8 innings with 1 or 2 K.

Someone [Kuip on KNBR?] was talking about the knee and how when they had a similar injury, the thing that really messed them up was sliding on it. The injury didn’t limit range or running ability, but it would feel weird after sliding.
I think the improved offense is a combination of adding two good hitters and finally having some underperforming hitters pulling their weight.
Here are the Giants’ OPS in August. Small sample size, but still encouraging.
Velez .760
Sanchez 1.029
Panda 1.261
Garko 1.101
Rowand .883
Renteria .789
Only Winn is below average at .529.
I think a Sanchez, Panda and Garko 3-4-5 can actually be pretty formidable.
IMO our offense has a chance to be close to MLB average with some minor lineup changes.
by Wonderful Terrific Monds on Aug 5, 2009 2:41 PM PDT reply actions
Oops … I meant to include him. Molina’s OPS is .762 this month.
by Wonderful Terrific Monds on Aug 5, 2009 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Grant had asked in the original post if two players could make the offense make that much better.
I was just trying to suggest that it’s a combination of the new talent and only having one or two black holes in the lineup over the last couple of days.

When Schulman mentioned the roster move to add Joe, he mentioned Aurilia’s job is safe for now. I never even thought Aurilia would be the one to go. I was surprised on what move they did make.
I think it was Baggs or maybe Bruce Jenkins who said that Richie is fine with with phantom DL until rosters expand in september.
With malice towards the Dodgers
when i saw Baggs write that, my heart caved in a little for Richie.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t see his name in the lineup, but when you realize this guy wants to be with THIS team enough that he’ll accept the DL and minor league games I am compelled to feel some sense of loyalty in return.
sure it’s funny to read that he’s raking single-A pitching again this late in his career, but I have this image in my head of grizzled, fake-bunting Richie in the back seat of a bus heading for Visalia, drumming his fingers on his duffle bag as he stares out the window onto central California. not complaining publicly. waiting for september.

I think it’ll happen. the Dodgers really haven’t had their bad streak yet, but it’s coming. no way their starting pitching holds up the rest of the way w/o some big stumbles. and we play them 9 more times, including 6 at home, so we’ll be able to make up some good ground head to head.

really, they should just shut him down. his rehab went horribly and he really just needs to rest up for next year.

Dunn's quote
"A different pitcher, thank God," Dunn said. "When I got ahead in the count, I was looking for something that I could drive. But when I got to 3-2, again, I had no idea what was coming. He’s got a really good cutter-slider and a really good heater, so I just swung."
He just swung, explains the mass strikeouts and infrequently – opposite field homers.
Win the inning.
About the Whiteside contract?
I missed baseball today, was traveling.
Has Whiteside been signed to a big contract? Will he be the starter next year?

Eli Whiteside : Catching no-no's and hitting grand slams
by BleedBlackNOrange on Aug 5, 2009 5:11 PM PDT reply actions
Improving the offense
I don’t think that Garko and Sanchez have elevated the offense from historically bad to near-average; in fact, the offense had a pretty league-average stretch going for about a month going into the All-Star break (4.7 runs/game over the period from June 14-July 12). Then they had a really awful couple of weeks that reminded us all of their appalling April/May offensive production (under 4 runs/game).
Now they’re bouncing back again. Sanchez and Garko have something to do with that, sure, but a lot of it is just a return to form.
Meet my new son: Sundrendy Windster, on the Curacao-SF express (via Arizona).
If you told me in April that we’d have league average offense after the trade deadline, I’d be ecstatic.
Skeptical, but ecstatic.

I don’t care how the rest of the lineup does, Sanchez is am amazing upgrade to the black hole that is our 2B and its 76 OPS+. If it affords more Uribe at SS, even better.
And stats can’t measure this, but Garko’s outs are easy to watch. Ishikawa’s outs are WTF ARE YOU SWINGING AT THAT PITCH FOR JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU 5?

Wow, I never heard about Dock Ellis until now
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_Ellis
There’s some crazy stuff including a no hitter thrown while on LSD and this
Attempting to hit every batter in the Cincinnati Reds lineup on May 1, 1974. In an effort to prove a point to teammates, Ellis hit Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Dan Driessen in the top of the first. The clean-up batter Tony Perez avoided Ellis’ attempts, instead drawing a walk, and after two pitches aimed at the head of Johnny Bench, Ellis was removed from the game by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ellis’ box score for the game reads: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K.5

Good News: We win!
Bad news: Winn, Molina, & Renteria are all OPSing under .700 (Renteria .629) and two of them continue to hit in the first 4 spots of the order. Bochy will not sit any of them (or in Molina’s case move him down) and Winn and Renteria haven’t homered months.
More Bowker, Nate (when he returns) & Uribe please. DL Renteria if he is hurt, why does this organization refuse to put these guys on the DL when they are not contributing?
Aurilia was DL’d….but if a guy can play, even play hurt, I can see why they’ll let him play. It would be nice, though, if they rested Winn and Renteria more while they are playing hurt or ineffective.

If anyone was watching ESPN just now they were talking about hitting batters and showed what happened today with Pablo getting hit then Howry i guess retaliating, by hitting whoever it was for the Astros
I thought it was hilarious how Howry couldn’t hit him after trying over and over again till he finally beaned him

I didn’t even realize he was trying to beane him until he finally did, but you could just sense nothing was gonna happen there
I thought that Fielder stuff was awesome. I hadn’t seen that much video of it yet. The time I saw it, was hard to hear and it didn’t go as long as they just showed on ESPN

Velez
I know, I know. But, Velez played another ball of the wall horribly again as he did in the first game of the series (I believe). 2nd inning and Velez is still waiting at the base of the wall on a ball that is either going to hit high off of it or go out. For whatever reason he thinks the ball should drop straight down if it hits the wall and not ricochet away. Who is our OF coach? Flannery?
