Post-Game Recap: The Giants Are Out of This Thing, and Running Down the Street To Avoid the Thing's Flaming Wreckage
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 16, 2009 10:37 PM PDT

PrintYou know what? I'm going to give full credit to Jorge De La Rosa on this one. He threw hard, he located well, and his offspeed stuff was impeccable. It wasn't the awful, disgusting, reprehensible offense that's usually awful, disgusting, and reprehensible when Pablo Sandoval is hitting, but even more awful, disgusting, and reprehensible when Sandoval is slumping. That's nitpicking. De La Rosa pitched a heck of a game. Credit where's credit's due.
The Rockies have 15 games left, and they lead the Giants by 3.5 games The Giants have 16 games left. Here's something to cheer you up:
Which scenario seems likely? The Rockies mess the bed, and the Giants sneak in playing the same ol' way they've been playing all season? The Rockies do well enough, but the Giants go nutty over the last two weeks and steam into the playoffs with pockets full of momentum? Yeah. This should be awesome.
Don't forget Pascual Perez's Wager from last night, though. This loss doesn't sting nearly as bad as it should*. This is a team with a flawed roster, managed by a guy who has found a way to make it worse. He took the rusty bicycle he was given, and decided that square tires would make for a smoother ride. There's no way this team should sniff the playoffs with this offense and this manager. It would be a historically bad postseason team at the plate.
Now, as I'm writing this, the Giants are mounting a furious rally. Bengie Molina just knocked in a run. Juan Uribe represents the tying run. The Rockies are bringing in Rafael Betancourt, a right-handed reliever. If Bochy allows Edgar Renteria to hit -- if he doesn't recognize that, inspiring grand slam notwithstanding, Renteria is one of the worst hitters in the National League, he's hurting, and the Giants have left-handed power...
...I stopped writing when Uribe hit into the almost double play. Watched the last three outs with my hands half-over my eyes. Three chances to get a single. Two of the ten worst hitters in the league. To be fair to Winn, he's a much better hitter left-handed, but, brother, that doesn't mean he's good. Schierholtz had some good takes, but he was overmatched. The team was overmatched tonight.
And Edgar Renteria got his ninth-inning at-bat against a right-handed pitcher. Hey, it was the same pitcher that Renteria hit the Grand Slam against, right? That must have some sort of significance, right? No reason to use the best hitter in AAA. No reason to use Winn right there, either. Nope, save Winn to hit for Rowand, who isn't doing so hot this year, but who's a wee bit better of a bet than a gimpy Edgar Renteria.
I hate synecdoche games. I really do.
As my head hits the pillow tonight, the only thing that will let me sleep is my hope that an also-ran Giants team will lead to a new manager in 2010. All I want is a manager who can judge talent on something other than whatever 50 at-bats happen to stick in his head.
They fought hard. Kind of proud of them. But right now Bruce Bochy's talking about Edgar Renteria's clutchitude. That's like watching the Secretary of Defense get excited about new trebuchets after watching Washington D.C. burn. I've never disliked a manager more. Search the archives for "Felipe Alou." I'll guess there's, oh, twenty mentions over a couple of years. I didn't think managers could ever make much of a difference, but I've never watched a manager so clueless as to what constitutes a talented hitter.
Night, all.

Coincidentally, the Giants scored as many runs as the Oilers scored goals, so I stand by my earlier superstition. Too bad the Rockies scored twice as much as the Islanders.

Well, at least the madness is over and we can all get on with our lives. Seriously. I mean it. The worst is over. All that’s left is the water landing.
Since the walk-off slam...
I’ve been mentally preparing myself for a “Maybe competitive in 2011/2012” mindset. I don’t see the Giants making any offensive improvements next season (adding talented players, even by subtraction), therefore, I expect the team as a whole to not perform as well as they have this season. Can’t count on pitching to be this good every year. It’s not realistic. Expecting people to not be able to swing at small objects coming at them at 90+ mph is far more reasonable.
by Every6thDay on Sep 16, 2009 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions
The numbers look bad, yeah
But you just have to remember is that all it takes is the rockies losing 3 in a row (they just did it) and the giants winning 3 in a row (we’ve done it before) and then we’re playing even ball.
I know the optimism is usually a Purple Row trait, but they’re not out of it yet.
I choose to watch the Giants try to score runs. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

I will try to stay positive:
In 1987 the Tigers and Blue Jays had a LEGENDARY pennant race the last week of the season. Blue Jays swept them in Toronto on the next-to-last-weekend and were 3 games up with a week left. I think the Tigers won their last 7, including a sweep of the Blue Jays in Detroit the final weekend to win it.
Okay, so the problem with this analogy is that the GIants and Rockies are done playing each other. I realize that.

Edgar Renteria: Takes pitches to let the tying run steal 2nd
…and then has the presence of mind to try to hit the ball to the right side so that the tying run could get to third with one out.
Sure, Edgar’s arms are falling off and hurt bad enough that he even warned the newsreporters all about it the day before as sort of a hint that he wouldn’t be starting himself if he were the manager, but you gotta admire his keen baseball mind. Why, hell, I bet Edgar would have pulled himself for Bowker, because nothing beats a 2-run deficit like a 3-run homer. And I don’t think Edgar would have burned Richie and Garkie in earlier, less promising points of the ballgame, either.
Edgar Renteria — 2010 player/manager — because knowing when to bench your own ass is like MONEY DOWN THE STRETCH, NERDS!

..he’s clearly in no condition to work right now, but his chosen occupation irrationally values guys who go out and try to play through pain.
That’s why you need a manager who knows when a guy can actually do his job, and keep him on the bench if he’s not able to. Someone like…oh…Not Bruce Bochy!

Clearly, Matt has forgotten how to win.
"That feeling after you win and they raise your hand... it's like you have this energy that releases from your body, and it's like you mingle with the cosmos, and you feel omnipotent"
Does he pitch against L.A. again this year?

That because it’s been so so so so so long since he’s gotten convincing run support.
There were at least a couple games in July and August he should have won instead of getting a no-decision. I was at one of them. He threw a 9-inning shutout.

I say that's all on Bochy.
As an athlete, you’re expected to say “sure, I can play” unless you actually have bits of bone poking out through your skin. Look at the flak Molina took for suggesting he wasn’t all the way ready. But the manager needs to know the difference between saying you’re ready and actually being ready.

His ERA is probably in the low-4s since the beginning of August. He’s had a few great starts and a few where he gave up 4-5 runs.
The hard sting of regression. He’s still a very good pitcher though and difficult to replace in the Giants rotation.

4.04 ERA since August 1. Pretty good guess, mod.
He’s also given up 10 home runs since then, which is nearly half his season total of 22.

This article will be the only thing that will be able to put me to sleep tonight. Best article on the Giants for a long while. Unfortunately, it was on a season-ending effort. You didn’t miss a single point. If any other writers want to write something about the Giants’ season that you haven’t covered, it’s that Renteria has joined Benitez and a very few others as the most inept players that has ever worn a Giants uniform. However, of course, Bochy exacerbated our greatest flaw in the greatest possible way. I gave up on this team already twice this year and I am ashamed of that. However, I don’t think I was the only one. Tonight will mark the third time that we, the Giants fans, go to sleep in utter defeat and disappointment. As bad as Renteria had played tonight, tonight’s loss is on Bochy. If Bochy is re-signed, tonight’s loss is on the management. The season’s end is on the management.
Although I am very frustrated as I am writing this, this isn’t a rant of frustration.
I really admire your writing abilities, you really do save the best for last.
This is too funny.
I just checked my posts to make sure I didn’t miss any responses and my last few went like this:

That hurt. A lot… but I have to say that it was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever been to. I’d have to rank it #2 behind the Feliz/Brazoban game.
With that said – we’re probably out of this thing now.

Not really
I hate Bochy more for not pinch hitting for him in the ninth and for playing him in the first place. It’s not Renteria’s fault that Bork keeps running him out there when he obviously has nothing left.
Adopted brother of Jason Jarvis.
That's BASEBALL, Bitches!!!
Edgar tried to take himself out of the lineup by publicizing his ailments. However, the baseball player with integrity plays the game once his name is entered into the lineup card. Only a malingering pussy (Chris Brown RIP) would refuse to start once the lineup is announced.
Renteria is truly awful, but the blame lies squarely on Bochy. What will it take to get him fired? The best scenario for the last couple of weeks of the season: More Bochy ineptitude and no more Bochy. Even if the Giants go 0-16 with Randy Winn and Edgar Renteria playing and failing everyday, though, I suspect he’d still be invited back.
The shame is that, whicl there isn’t much to work with offensively, there is enough that if Bochy actually allocted his limited resources in an intelligent manner, that the Giants would be “in this thing”.
remember those two times we had runners and 2nd and 3rd and no outs and scored one run total? woulda been cool if we could have scored one or two more.

with what hitting?
Pitching is likely to regress some, even it is still really damn good.
Will there be better hitting to make this up, plus the fact that they have been fortunate this year?
Doing the math
2010 Posey > 2009 Molina
2010 anybody > 2009 Winn
2010 Sanchez > 2009 Burriss et al
2010 Renteria > 2009 Renteria (he’d better be, anyway)
On the flip side, 2010 Uribe < 2009 Uribe (most likely)
I expect next year’s hitting to be better overall, though probably still on the weak side.

it's just sad
that with merely an average offense, the giants would be cruising to the WC lead this year, at minimum, and right there with LA for the division.
Well
I tried not watching since I didn’t watch Tuesday and most of Monday, and that didn’t help the team. Helped me, though.
DItto
I decided not to go/watch/listen to the game. I knew the Giants would struggle against De La Rosa and I really didn’t want to jinx see another Cain loss. So I’m depressed but functional this morning.
I watched it until the end of the 6th when it was 4-0 and had trouble staying awake. Also, am no stathead, but knew the Bill James thing about a team with a 4 run lead usu. wins it, so I muted the TV and dozed off.
Was not sorry I missed the end of it, just more frustration I didn’t have to deal with.
In a way this is almost a relief

Shitfuck, fuckshit…dammit, you know these goofy bastards are gonna manage to slip closer ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME only to finish the job of ripping our hearts out.
Be pessimistic all you want but you know full well that last night’s loss, though crushing for us, was actually uplifting for them because they fought back & almost won (errr, tied). Thus, instead of throwing in the towel in a green cloud of Posey & Bowker, they’re gonna play hard & draw to within 1 game of the Rox going into the last weekend of the season…
…wait for it…
…only to blow it on the final day with consecutive 3-pitch strikeouts with the tying run on 3rd base by Rowand, Renteria & Aurilia.
The first voice I heard this morning was Bruce Bochy when I got into my car to go to work this morning saying, “Nows the time when we just gotta win some games” on KNBR and I immediatley let out every curse word I know at the top of my lungs. I probably woke up a few people in my complex but I must say I feel a lot better right now.

Notes from the yard
Lou Seal/Lucille went out to mess with the umpires at lineup card swap… at one point the Rockies coach arrived and that’s who was at home plate: the umpires, the other team’s coach, and the mascot. I prayed Lou/Lu had a lineup card to hand in to beat Botchy to the punch.
Also, last night was Filipino Underage Drinking Night, if you missed it. Very, very nice T-shirt for participants, and they brought a female boxer this time which was interesting. Not quite the draw Pacquiao was when he was at the yard, but she was an awful lot cuter.
Also also, watching the Giants put up more errors than hits for Matt Cain was not entertaining.

OT:
Has anyone seen BOC in concert recently? I’m going tonight and was just curious if they still put on a good show.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.
I was thinking of going to that concert.
I didn’t because it’s been a very busy week, and I get up at 6 am. :-(
How were they?
Baggs:
All the signs pointed to Lincecum getting moved up – heck, even Vin Scully said so – but at the end of the day, the Giants’ coaching staff decided against skipping Sanchez and they’ll give each starter an extra day of rest.
This means Lincecum will make three starts instead of four – unless he goes on short rest in the final week.
This also tells me that the Giants remain significantly concerned about Lincecum’s back. There’s no reason not to keep Timmy on his regular fifth day unless there’s a physical reason for it.
D:
"If you want to walk, watch a mailman."--Shawon Dunston
"If you want to bunt, bake a cake."--Bruce Bochy
alternate reason
whatever reason led Whiteside to pinch run, Aurilia to pinch hit, Fred to be sent out to run for Aurilia after he made it to second.
It’s borktacular. I’m all for conspiracy theories (since I post here) but I don’t think one can discount good old bork.

Pinch running for Aurilia
at the time I didn’t even realize it, but what was the point of that? That run meant absolutely nothing by itself. What a waste of one of your best bats off the bench.

I suppose
it would not have been stupid to PR immediately after Richie’s powerful blast Texas Leaguer, in theory making a double play less likely.
And +1000 for wasting a bat… although once the LOLineup had been taken out by the mascot I suppose bat-wasting was already well under way for the evening.

It’s not wasting a bat that really bothers me. Rosters have expanded and there are plenty of guys off the bench, but why Lewis? Lewis has been one of the guys that Bochy has used quite a bit as a pinch hitter and has had some good results. Why waste that bat?
If Rohlinger runs for Aurilia, I have absolutely no problem with the move.

I’ve reached “acceptance”. And, quite frankly, I’m pretty damn proud of what this team has done. I’ll always want more, but this has been a much more entertaining season than I thought it would be.
Glass half full view
I guess we can take some pride in being the last team eliminated (realistically, if not yet mathematically) from the playoffs.
I posted this in another thread, but I’ll say it again: starting Renteria in a must-win game, when it’s obvious to EVERYONE that he is not healthy enough to play effectively, should be a fireable offense. Get Bochy the hell out of San Francisco.
He. Sucks.

Hey there....Rox fan here..
I have a question. It seems that alot of MCC’ers are calling for Bochy’s head. And today I was watching MLB Network, and there are several analysts calling for him to be Manager of the Year.
What you do you all think about him being voted MOY?
Just curious…
