Post-Game Recap: Edgar Renteria's Grand Slam Defeats Rockies!
by Grant on Sep 11, 2009 9:48 PM PDT

It came from an unlikely source. The Giants were down, but not out, and light-hitting Edgar Renteria delivered the biggest home run for the Giants in years. Rafael Betancourt has been fantastic for the Rockies since coming over in a trade, but he tried to sneak a fastball by Renteria on the inside corner. It caught too much of the plate, and Renteria put the Giants into a lead they would not relinquish.
The Giants are now in a tie for the wild-card lead, and they have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Come on, rest of the league. Just try to stop us!
This team just might win the World Series. They just might. We're in this thing!
I can remain in my Norma Desmond-like fog for the rest of the night, replaying events from weeks ago in order to retain my sanity, or I can think about tonight's game for even a single minute longer and start throwing things out of my window. I'll start with the inanimate objects, but I won't make any promises as to what I'll do if I run out of inanimate objects. So I'll just ignore reality and drink. A lot. Great game, fellas.

Hockey is an underrated sport, and I’ll never understand why. Granted, I don’t know shit about teams other than the Sharks, but I still find it the most exciting sport. Baseball is my favorite, because of the stats, but hockey I enjoy watching the most.

The best team in the regular season. Set an NHL record for best start. They play an up-tempo offense-based game that uses the defense to help with the scoring. So, yeah, pretty fun to watch.

Seeding shouldn’t matter much really. The fact is that Anaheim’s D completely shut down all 4 SJ lines. The Sharks offense was really poor at creating space to have real offensive pressure on net. Hiller had SOOOOOOOOO many easy saves in that series. The Sharks hardly ever got any rebound opportunities.
And that seems to be a problem in most playoff series for the Sharks since the lockout.
No
NO. NO. NO. It was all Hiller.

Eh, equal parts Hiller and the horrible injury bug the Sharks suffered during March and April. 10 injured roster players isn’t exactly insignificant on a team of 23.

Injuries were a factor, but in hockey EVERYONE is hurting big time at that point of the year. I’m kind of sick of it being an excuse for the Sharks every season. Tomas Holmstrom was playing with a major shoulder injury 2 years ago when Detroit won the cup and he was out there every night standing in front of the goalie and taking a beating.
That said I’m excited that McGinn and a few other young guys will get a bigger role this year. The callups played better than the regulars for the last month or so of the season.
Except that all the players were hurt before the playoffs, and were out of the lineup for a significant period of time. I think it was like 5 or 6 guys came back 2 games before the playoffs, including Marleau and Clowe. It takes time to develop chemistry, and they didn’t have time to re-develop it. That hurts a team.
Oh, and I’m totally excited about McGinn and the competition for spots in training camp. I’m sort of rooting for Petrecki to make it, even though I know he’ll do better with a year in the minors under his belt. He’s just so awesome I want him on the SJ Sharks now.

Joslin didn’t really impress me in his stint with SJ, but we’ll see. With two spots on the defense and various spots on the offense open (in case McLellan doesn’t want to roll the scary line of Staubtiz-Nichol-Shelley), training camp is going to be interesting this year.

Not really. He was good, I’ll give him that. But he really didn’t have to work all that hard in a lot of those games. Anaheim’s D was fantastic. Their forecheck was very good and their D did a great job of closing shooting lanes. Taking weak shots from the point that Hiller can easily see doesn’t make for good offense.
Playoff hockey is an entirely different animal. The officiating is much looser, the checks are harder, and sometimes “illegaller” and the Sharks just haven’t been able to make the adjustment.
Where the playoffs are concerned, I wouldn’t be surprised to see dudes coming out with razor blades taped to their gloves, machetes to their sticks, and retro rockets on their blades. ( Yes Pronger, I’m looking at YOU! )

I don’t. I think their problem is by and large the Sharks team as constituted now primarily doesn’t know how to raise their game for the playoffs.
They just need more experience or some guys need a change of scenery. There is a bit of luck involved sure, but the previous teams under Sutter which had some hardened vets like Ricci, Suter, and Damphousse did a lot better in the playoffs than these recent Sharks teams.
I’m still a n00b to hockey, mostly, so when people freak out about playoff performance, I’m just like, “it’s SSS right? guys?”

But know what a hopeless cause looks like, can anyone who has played the game or is a generally optimistic/positive person tell me what the professionals who have played the majority of the games this season are supposed to do with themselves? These free swingers have put the Giants in their current situation, they can’t really believe that their same approach is going to magically turn this “thing” around, do they?
I’m not sure it’s a habit you break once you are in the majors. If that’s what got you there you are most likely going to continue doing it, especially when you are as old as a lot of these guys are. I don’t get why guys want to blame Lansford for this.

That’s the difference between us and them. Against the Dbacks last week they couldn’t do anything against Danny Haren, but what they did do is force him to throw 114 pitches in six innings. They went to the bullpen in the seventh, and the Rockies came back and won. If it was against us, Haren would have had a complete game with 80 pitches thrown.

Hi folks
I actually feel pretty good. You know why? Because I don’t think Duke Nukem likes what he’s seeing from this team in September. He doesn’t like the fans booing the team in the 7th inning of a home game against the Dodgers, and he doesn’t like the fact that they booed Molina who had no business batting that last time. He’s going to think about what kind of team this will be in 2010, and he’s going to realize that Bruce Bochy is the wrong guy to manage them. I’m not sure Sabean comes back, either.

I used up most of my anger and incredulation yesterday, so I’m mostly looking at this game is a sort of “Wow, its almost hilarious how horrible the Giants are” way. I mean, when a largely minor-league lineup ends up scoring twice as many runs in five fewer innings than the “big league” team, that’s pathetic.
God fucking damnit, this team’s offense is offensive.

I know the odds of coming back from a 4-1 deficit for this team is nearly impossible, but you really have to play these games like the season is on the line, because it is. To bring in Merkin Valdez in that situation, is an insult to the fans and an insult to the veterans that Bochy loves so much, because it’s basically telling everyone that you’re giving up, and you have no faith in your team’s ability to come back. On the other hand, if Bruce Bochy actually thought that Merkin Valdez was his best option in that situation, despite the fact that the bullpen was well rested, then he should have been immediately fired after the game because he’s the dumbest manager on the planet.

He didn’t get any intro because of the Kiss Cam and Bochy replacing almost everyone on the field simultaneously until Renel did el crappo job squeezing it in before Manny came up. Then, before the crowd was done cheering- a cheer she’d encouraged in her “I know you guys have been waiting for this” tone of voice- she introduces Manny and poof! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Posey has waited and watched eight major league games since his surprising call-up Sept. 2 and still hasn’t made his major league debut, which has led to any number of tinfoil-hat theories — a rift between manager Bruce Bochy and general manager Brian Sabean being the most outlandish of the bunch.
Bochy, usually slow to anger, was incensed at the suggestion he doesn’t want Posey on the roster.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “I don’t know how somebody can (write) that without asking me.”
This makes me angry
When the Baltimore Orioles called up elite prospect Matt Wieters on May 29, they gave their fans 48 hours’ notice and sold 15,000 individual tickets. And Wieters was behind the plate on his first day in the major leagues.

I still believe in Bowkermania.

I was looking at the 2010 free agents list. It would be nice if they signed Jason Bay and Marco Scutaro. I assume these guys take pitches and walks. Molina can platoon with Buster Posey. Scutaro can play shortstop or second base and whoever wants to take pitches and walks between Renteria and Freddie Sanchez can play too. Maybe they can sign Tejada and play him at third with Sandoval moving to first. They should have extra outfielders and bench players that don’t take pitches and walks.
Lansford should be fired. It is obvious that no one listens to him. Bochy should bench players that don’t take pitches or walk. Sandoval should keep hacking, but no one else should play that approaches at bats like that.
Bay I like a lot, but Scutaro is having a career year at 34. His stats before this year doesn’t look so hot. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/scutama01.shtml
An interesting position at this point is 2B. The Giants could very well decline the option for Mr. F. The 2B market is interesting, with Hudson, Scutaro and Iwamura, not to mention Mr. F himself. It would be interesting to see Iwamura on the Giants

But he doesn’t.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I didn't get it before. But.....
I now truly understand the anger toward Bruce Bochy.
No one here gets out alive.
Bye Panda!
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

Oh wait, for some reason he thinks Panda should keep doing it. That’s funny.

UNIT HOPES TO PITCH AGAINST COLORADO

Randy Johnson will throw live batting practice on Monday. If all goes well he could be activated as a reliever in time for the rest of a series against the Rockies that he said the Giants have to sweep.
Nice to see that he’s really going to put in the effort to try to come back in his final year. He could have just given up on coming back at all.
