Post-Game Recap: Giants Score Week's Worth of Runs, Stay Alive
'Twas the most nervewracking game of the season. Well, I thought it would be. My heart was in my nostrils minutes before the first pitch was thrown. It had nothing to do with the wild-card race, though it should be noted that...

Yes. But it wasn't the importance of the game in a playoff context that was giving me the jibblies. No, it was the most nervewracking game of the year because it was the first start for Tim Lincecum after his first missed start. Would he throw hard? Would he throw strikes? Would he throw crisp breaking balls? Would he wince after every pitch?
The exit polls after the first inning: dude's fine. NBC called it in the third inning, even. We can all stop worrying about Tim Lincecum. Hoorah for the small victories in life.
And a quick in-game strategy note:
...bottom of the eighth, two runners on, and a left-handed pitcher on the mound. Last year, Bruce Bochy would have pinch hit for Travis Ishikawa if it were the bottom of the third. This year, nope.
Garko: Okay, so I light the bag, and then I leave it where?Frandsen: In front of room 129.
Garko: Wait, is that the Skipper's room?
Lewis: Nah, man. Don't get weird on us. We wouldn't do that to you.
Garko: I thought that's where Bochy's room was.
Frandsen: You're not yellow, are you?
Posey: I think the Stanford boy's yellow.
Lewis: Light the poop bag, knock on the door, and run away. We've all done it.
Garko: Well, I guess so.
Quirky-yet-effective decisions aside, I don't not believe.

I avoided this game from the top of the 2nd until the bottom of the 8th doing studying and dinner. being as I have tests the next 2 days, I probably should stay away from listening/watching the giants. maybe we’ll score more runs that way.

I think he looks pretty obviously tired. Which happens with first year players pretty regularly.
I also think he looks bigger than he did earlier in the year. Which probably doesn’t help with the tired thing.
Or maybe he’s just going through a rough stretch and I’m letting perception fool me.
It’s definitely some combination of those things.

Purple Row post game wrap has some interesting advanced scouting tidbits
Kudos to PinchHitLancePainter for the posts.
http://www.purplerow.com/2009/9/14/1031045/tim-lincecum-dominates-as-rockies#comments
Here he is talking about Zito and why his curveballs are so hard to hit, especially at AT&T
1. His curve is about a 68 on a scale of 70. That is Carlton level. I faced Carlton in a spring game in the early 80’s in Clearwater (when he was past his prime) and you cannot imagine the downward plane and break on the ball. Looks like it is three feet high and outside and then swoosh, it buckles you at the knees.
2. Lack of movement at home leads to overcompensation on the road. If you followed early Rockie teams this applied for years. See item 4 below.
3. There is a reason that ATT and Petco are what they are. Night games and onshore flow create ideal climatic conditions with sharp off speed.
4. Curve balls are thrown sparingly at Coors due to lack of break. You see more hard off speed at Coors thrown, cuttters, sliders, split finger etc.
He also talked about advanced scouting reports from another team’s scout (apparently someone he played minor league ball with in the 80s)
The book on the Rockies is to get the first pitch over and then they will chase anything close thereafter.
-The majority of the Rockies hitters have been pounded into patience and taking pitches but this strategy is errant on the road away from Coors. Notice the volume of off speed seen tonite. Offspeeds at sea level they break more pronounced especially on the West Coast in the heavy air. Rockies are very vulnerable to off speed after extended homestands, especially in the first two-three games of a series.
-Pitchers will use this tendacy to slow down the offense attack. The only solution is to start expecting and connecting with 1st pitch FBs down the middle.
Lots of other goodies there, worth a read.

Well, compared to Coors, which I suppose is their point of reference, AT&T is a pretty extreme pitchers’ park. I think the park factors are something like 1.26 and 1.08, so the Rox would figure to score about 15% fewer runs at AT&T versus at home.
by taliesin on Sep 15, 2009 10:32 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I still think AT&T is a pretty tough park to hit in, especially HRs. The small foul territory helps offset some of that.

Y'all are going to hate me for saying it...
…but I wasn’t wildly impressed with Lincecum tonight. After the first batter in the seventh inning, I was thinking “if Bochy leaves him in past this inning, he’s insane.”
This is one of the first times in a while where one could describe Lincecum as ‘effectively wild’. He was not very sharp tonight. In particular, his cut fastball was not cutting, and his splitfinger wasn’t doing the splits. There were several fat pitches that he left hanging at the plate that Colorado just did not square up. I wonder if some of his wildness was keeping hitters from digging in.
Also, his velocity for much of the game was a little lower than I’d expect. Not Bumgarner/Alderson level, but he was getting the swing throughs on 92-93.
I’m not in panic mode…it’s the first game ever he’s come back from missing a start. A little lower velocity and some rust is not unheard of…I wouldn’t even say it’s unexpected. But it was not a perfect game for Lincecum.
For me, his next start will be just like what Grant described to start this post.

he threw more curveballs than I ever remember him throwing. his command was a bit off, and he seemed to have abandoned the slider, but he was still getting swing throughs on his fastball.
That’s good enough for me for a pitcher that has thrown more than 200 innings already this year.

I don’t know if he’s doing that because he fastball velo is a little down, or whether he wanted to give a good hitting team that was familiar with him a new look.

I think you can blame Benji. He is a very lazy catcher…and it pisses me off. Watch how little effort puts into setting up before the pitch and framing them…a lot less than most backstops. So, knowing that, Timmy had a right to think Molina could have done more on that play.
by Giant Homer on Sep 15, 2009 11:12 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not really sure what you mean, most big league catchers seem to set up the target as late as possible to avoid giving away pitch location, but I’m not really sure how much effort goes into it, it’s fairly simple.
I’m sure that since Bengie is morbidly obese he doesn’t have the mobility of most catchers, but when a pitcher misses the target by that much he’s not going to show up his catcher.

I think as the season has worn on we’ve seen him keep from dropping to his knees as much to protect balls in the dirt. That’s really the only thing I’ve noticed. Earlier in the year, he’d be on his knees taking one in the chest. Now, more often, he just kind of sticks his hand out and hopes the ball ends up there.
But I think he’s really just protecting his knees when he does that. It’s bad for the team, but old/fat-lina has to do something to play the 155 games Bochy wants to see him play.

I was watching the 2002 WS a few weeks ago.
And the idiot Tim McCarver was all over Bengie for being “lazy” going to his backhand rather than getting in front of the ball. I think I’ve seen Bengie do that more often as the season progressed, but I don’t get the chance to watch a lot of games. Anyways, I think lazy (or sore) Bengie takes some of the blame for the “Wild Pitch”. He should have been in front of the ball, or not in the game at all.

Haha, I did pitch and catch in college so I do have some experience playing the game. My only point really is that I don’t think Tim would really glare at Bengie for missing that particular pitch. He did get a glove on it and it would have been a nice play if he had made it but missing it didn’t seem like a glare-worthy offense. Who knows though, maybe Timmy got caught up in the moment.
