Post-Game Recap: The Giants Are Out of This Thing, and Running Down the Street To Avoid the Thing's Flaming Wreckage

You 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.

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 0 recs
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.

..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!

I could see 2 out of 3 from LA, 2 out of 3(possibly sweep) in AZ, 3 of 4 from Cubs, 2 of 3 from AZ, sweep SD. 12-4.

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.

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”.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.
