Post-Game Recap: Giants Score Week's Worth of Runs, Stay Alive
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 14, 2009 10:07 PM PDT
Email
Print'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.

You’re often amusing, but that dialogue up there made me laugh harder than I have in a while.

Don't give him so much credit
Once we got up a few runs, he had the whole rest of the game to figure it out

I won’t buy any Raider stuff till he is GONE, and at the rate he’s going, that’s probably a literal gone.
Which is a pity because he used to be quite the innovator, eoe.

Pablo Sandoval burst out of a pregame hitter’s meeting and excitedly pointed to his new T-shirt. It pictured the Joker from “Dark Knight” holding up a wild card with the Giants logo on it, and a one-word slogan below:
“Believe.”
All I think when I hear “WE BELIEVE” is “BUT WE PROBABLY SHOULDN’T!”

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.
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW
If PinchhitLancePainter couldn’t hit Steve Carlton, what chance do the Rockies have of hitting Zito?

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.
I still think AT&T is a pretty tough park to hit in, especially HRs. The small foul territory helps offset some of that.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
AT&T does suppress HR, especially from LHB, but it doesn’t suppress other types of hits very much.

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’s been throwing 92-93 all year, I don’t see why that would be a concern.
And he had 11 strikeouts… geez.
I mean, yeah, it wasn’t perfect – I’d like fewer walks and I would have liked to see him put away some of the hitters he got to 2 strikes on in the last two innings, but man. It’s like complaining that one of Beethoven’s Symphonies isn’t quite as good as the others or something.

LOL Bengie
“My feelings? I can’t have any feelings,” he said. “I’m really OK. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve done more than they’ve asked me to do. Going to the fifth spot doesn’t make any difference.”
After the game, he reiterated he happily will hit anywhere Bochy puts him, but he smiled and added, “I hope tomorrow I’m not hitting ninth.”

I dunno. Baggs made a comment about how Timmy was shaking bengie off A LOT. he changed his approach for this game and threw more breaking balls instead of pitching off of his fastball. 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.

It did look like he was glaring at Molina after that wild pitch but I have hard time believing that’s what he was actually doing. Timmy missed the target by like 5 feet, can’t really blame Bengie for that one.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
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
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.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
He’s not late in his set-ups, just lazy. Late is good, but he barely moves.
You’d know if you ever played the game ;D
It didn’t look uncatchable, that’s for sure.

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.

That’s true on a ball in the dirt but no catcher in the world could have gotten in front of that pitch last night.

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.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
I like the caught up in the moment theory. It wasn’t glare worthy with the benefit of hindsight, but I could see how it would piss him off when it happened. Sometimes a dude needs a glare.

This makes no sense
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, right-hander Brad Penny is the second Giants pitcher in the last 47 years to win his first three games with the club. The only other pitcher to accomplish this feat over that span is Bill Swift, who won in his first four appearances in 1992 after being obtained from Seattle.
Umm, that’s wrong. Maybe it means Giants pitcher that was obtained from another team, but plenty of pitchers have come up from the minors and won their first three games. Noah Lowry comes to mind.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Natto was so quick with that because it’s his desktop background.

Doesn’t do anything…
"What are the odds Buster Posey ever plays for the Giants?"
"He won’t play until he gets some major league experience."
So… I just saw this sentence on MLBtraderumors:
Alfonso Soriano’s contract is about as untradeable as they come
He’s making the same as Zito, roughly, for the same amount of years.
He’s having a down year, and Zito has been decent this year, but if the Cubs would consider it, do you think we could/should swap the two? Would his defense be a huge step down from the plethora of dudes we’ve had in left this year?
Forgive me if this has been totally discussed at some point before and I missed it.
