Giants/Rockies Series Preview...Again

The Giants need to sweep this series, or else they’ll really, really, really be out of the playoff race. For reals, this time. There isn’t one of those "Oh, well mathematically, the Rockies could lose six straight, and the Giants can win six straight, and the Pope could issue a benediction, even though I don’t really know that means, but he could, and then maybe there’s a war and a draft, and all the Rockies players are chosen to fight the war, and the Giants don’t because they don’t believe the GOVERNMENT LIES AND PROPOGANDA, so the replacement Rockies (made up of various Denver-area drifters and n’er-do-wells) lose six more in a row even though they outscore the Giants, and…"
There isn’t any of that. The Giants need to sweep. The Giants need to leave this series only 1.5 games back if they want us to really believe that we’re in this thing. Sure, they could win two of three, which would put them 3.5 back. Which would certainly come close to almost putting things out of reach. Kind of. Almost definitely.
Well, I suppose that 3.5 back with sixteen games left isn’t impossible. I mean, stranger things have happened.
Dammit.
I just want closure.
But if the Giants lose another series – which would mean they’ve lost every series on this homestand, mind you – the season is totally, completely, no joke over.
Point: In 1998, the Giants were four games out of the wild card race on September 15th, and they were behind two teams that needed to both choke in order for the Giants to play a 163rd game. And that’s what happened. Things happen.Counterpoint: Randy Winn.
Point: Heck, the Rockies needed to go 15-1 over their sixteen games in 2007 in order to make the playoffs, and they did. They needed help from Tony Gwynn’s son to ruin the Padres’ season, and it happened. So things happen. Crazy, unexpected things happen. It’s baseball.
Counterpoint: Edgar Renteria.
Point: See, that’s just it, smart guy. Renteria hit a grand slam in the last Giants/Rockies series. Not one Rockies fan was thinking, gee willikers and gosh dandy, I sure hope Edgar Renteria doesn’t kill us and put is into a tie for the wild card. But he did. For a day, he was a hero. Things happen. Weird, wild things happen in baseball. Mike Benjamin had 14 consecutive hits in 1995. Do you know what the odds must have been for that to happen?
Counterpoint: Bengie Molina…
Point: Obviously, you’re not listening. I get that the Giants have a lot of cod liver oil in their lineup smoothie, but that doesn’t preclude the hope of something unexpected, and…
Counterpoint: Wait, I’m not done. Bengie Molina…cleanup hitter.
Point: …
Counterpoint: …
Point: …
Counterpoint: …
Point: Niners looked good yesterday.
Counterpoint: Ayup.
It’s just so hard to believe in this team as it is presently constructed, but I guess I don’t have a choice. Go Giants. Make me look stupid. Make us all look stupid. Make us feel good about our decision to spend hundreds and hundreds of hours following you this season. Shock the world. Actually, forget the world. I will settle for shocking me. Just me. Do it. I dare you.
And if you decide not to shock me, just lose the next two games and get it all out of the way early. Thanks.
Hitter to Watch: Pablo Sandoval is the only watchable hitter on this team. This is how it has been. This is how it will be.
Pitcher to Watch: Tim Lincecum's back! Also, Tim Lincecum's back.
Prediction: Edgar Renteria does not hit a grand slam in this series.

"Edgar Renteria does not hit a grand slam this series"
I’ll settle for an Edgar Renteria 3 run homer of destiny.
Really, I will. I know I gave up. I changed my sig to officially declare my state of surrender. But I’m still rooting. Go Giants. Sweep the Rockies.

There is actually reason for Brewers to actively shop Fielder this off season
moreso than ever before.
1) Gamel has proven that he cannot handle 3rd base. He is worse than Braun, who was bad.
2) Fielder has 2 years left, and he ain’t resigning with Milwaukee. Not at their price, anyway.
3) Their starting pitching is really that bad.
More than anything else, they need to free up that 1B for Gamel, or he will be a man without a position. It’s the reason why they traded LaPorta away last year. He was a man without a position.

oh no doubt.
Also, this is the best off season to shop cain as well because of his super cheap contract, coming off the luckiest year from a BABIp stand point, and the fact that we probably doesn’t make financial sense to keep both Lincecum and Cain long term.
We’d better get a top 20 player in return, though. Even though Cain probably doesn’t qualify as a top 20 pitcher, his contract is so good he should be able to command a top 20 talent in return.

I dunno, I read Keith Law’s chat from last week, and he had some realistic stuff to say about Bumgarner’s drop in velocity. He said that if his fastball is 88-90 and the breaking pitch is the same as we saw it, he’s a bullpen arm. However, he also said that during spring training he saw him hit 93 on a consistent basis, so he’s not totally down on him.

That ball hit the woman in about the 6th row of FC107 right on her forehead. It bounced
hard—and I mean hard—off the facade to the Club level, and landed in FC108 row M (one
row in front of me). It was still a rocket comming off the wall.
I have to think if it hit her temple it would have killed her. She looked pretty (understandably)
loopy as she was escorted out. Godspeed Giants fan.

Pablo's Defense at 3B
In his chat, Buster (not the one who wears 28 and might be dead) made a lot of noise about Panda’s D at 3rd being an issue. I remember that there was a lot of anxiety about it at the beginning of they year, but I also thought he caught on pretty well and by mid-season, I thought he was pretty good. But then I went and looked and he has a -5.6 UZR at 3B this year. Anyone else think he is at least average there (when healthy and not too fat)?

Yeah, 6 runs below average is nothing to get too worried about. To move him to first you need a third baseman with average defense who is no more than half a win worse with the bat than Garkawa. Not a lot of those available, although I have seen Chone Figgins mentioned, and he would fit the bill if he stayed healthy.

The other is that Molina and Uribe should be switched per the technique used by one of our last 2 managers, to wit, your hot hitter with power should protect the cleanup guy.

Opened for a month, everyone loved it and it worked perfectly until a crack was found in the foundation. Then they shut it down, and the government has decided that even though it has been repaired, and passed all certifications that can be thrown at it, it still represents a grave danger to the public and cannot be used. But they will not tear it down either lest another government entity take the plans and use the bridge for themselves.

Pirates have played 141 games. Assuming they recorded 27 outs in all of those (which must be close), they would have recorded a total of 3807 outs. Is it likely that 1002 of those outs came via DP?
Even 150 is pretty impressive, considering the Astros “lead” the NL in GIDP with 138.
by taliesin on Sep 14, 2009 4:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
501 DPs would mean averaging a DP every 2.5 innings or so.
Also, they lead BBTN’s Web Gems tally by a wide margin. But both those stats are due in large part to the efforts of the now-departed Freddy Sanchez and (especially) Jack Wilson.

From Baggs regarding RJ
Randy Johnson threw two simulated innings and fired roughly 40 pitches. One of them plunked John Bowker.
He was pleased with how he felt and said he was ready to be activated Tuesday. The Giants must make a 40-man move because he is on the 60-day DL, though.
Johnson said there are a lot of lefty hitters and he believes he can help the team out of the bullpen. He has not pitched since July 5 because of a torn rotator cuff.

Yeah I think the best outfield in terms of offense at this point is probably Lewis-Velez-Bowker. It’s obviously not anywhere near as good defensively as Winn-Rowand-Schierholtz, but I bet it’s actually pretty close to average on defense (with bonus comedy).

Dear Giants:
Here is my challenge. If you want to keep me interested in the team, you must do at least one of the following two:
Sweep the rockies.
or
Play the kids. That means giving posey some starts, bowker some at-bats, lewis gets some playing time, guzman, runzler, even…frandsen! And let garko play again, maybe he’ll be able to hit again.
