Post-Game Recap: Giants Beat L.A., Pick Up a Game in the Wild Card Race
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 18, 2009 10:50 PM PDT
Email
PrintIf the Giants do squander this fantastical pitching staff -- if they don't make the playoffs -- the real shame isn't that they wasted the Lincecum/Cain/Good Zito/Sanchez/Found Penny pentumvirate. That'd be a drag, but they're all back next year. Well, except for Penny. And Good Zito's going on sabbatical. Also, Cain's getting traded for Prince Fielder. Other than that, the rotation should be the same.
The real shame is that's hard to build a bullpen this effective. It's real hard. And there are guys in this Giants bullpen who shouldn't be expected to repeat their performances. It's happening now. This bullpen is filled with magic now. Dang it. I wouldn't put money on it being the same next season.
But that's kind of a downer thought on a night in which the Dodgers and Rockies both lost. Whoop! Heckuva game.

That’s pretty damn huge against that lineup in that yard.

Went to one here (minny) in 06
twins lost, but at one point they hit b2b HRs to RF to tie the game. That was the single loudest thing I’ve ever heard live. That’s the one thing that stadium is good for- it is effing LOUUUUD in the playoffs. I strongly recommend going to any game you can, it’s great.

I want to point out how much BETTER this team’s offense is when Edgar Renteria is not in the lineup. The team chemistry is better, they hit, they score runs, they WIN GAMES.
Renteria is a plague in the chemistry. The one game he’s played, they’ve lost. BOCHY, I HOPE YOU REALIZE THIS

Nope, not at all. I want him on the team. He can’t be traded anyway. All I’m saying is that if he doesn’t sign with us, he’s effectively fucking himself over in the one thing that apparently means most to him: money. I’m not going to lose sleep over someone being unreasonable.
This is clearly the attitude Niners brass has taken, and I’m quite pleased.
yez
I’m very glad they’re not going to cave. If he’s dumb enough to sit out, then so be it. Sucks that we wasted a number 10, but there’s a chance we get something in a trade before the draft.
Also, the Panthers suck, so there’s a good chance we get at least a number 10 next year

I don’t think the Lions and Jets are “idiots” for passing on Crabtree and selecting Stafford and Sanchez respectively. Imagine having top five picks in the draft and selecting a wide receiver when you don’t have a QB to get him the ball. Besides, Crabtree loses points for looking like he’s going to be a Keyshawn, Moss, TO or Chad Ocho Cinquo type who will be more trouble than he’s worth. You’re going to wind up wishing the Niners passed on him too.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

I’d love to have Crabtree on the team if he’s as good as everyone thinks, but also, if he goes back into the draft and is a bust, the Niners would save the money that would have been wasted on Crabtree.

Crabtree is that good
if he sits out a whole year, though, he probably won’t be.
And don’t get me started on Alex Smith. If he went to GB and sat behind favre for 3 years instead of getting to be coached by mike nolan, we’d have a much different outcome.

I’m absolutely unconvinced Crabtree is that good. He played in the most gimmicky offense of the past decade, and was the top receiver in said offense. I’d put up good receiving stats if I were target TWENTY times a game too. He only played two seasons as well, and he’s coming off a serious injury.
Don’t get me wrong, I want him on the team, and I think he’ll be good, but in this situation he needs to realize he has ZERO leverage.
I agree that he’ll probably get worse as a football player, or at least slower to develop, should he skip this season. The guy is really, really, stupid.

I guess my point is that I don’t think he’s actually pitched worse, it’s just his stats have regressed to about where they should be. What he was doing before was not sustainable.

If it was July, Edgar would be put on the DL.
However, since it’s already September, it would be a useless maneuver. The rest of the team admires his veteran demeanor, so not being DL’ed allows him to travel on road trips.
SUCK IT, HOWRY HATERS

I chose the Red Sox in 1975 because of Fisk’s home run and I liked Jim Rice (late 70’s). I liked the Giants because they were my local team. I suffered until 2004 with a team that didn’t win since 1918 and another team that didn’t win since 1954 and still wait today. I’m glad I wasn’t a frontrunner.

I’m not that big on bashing him for being reluctant to play Nate either, since Schierholtz hasn’t acquited himself particularly well in his 295 PA’s, and Winn’s defensive value is still tremendous. Sure, there’s the whole platoon thing, but I can’t come down too hard on him for being skeptical of a SSS reverse platoon split.
Some other things, like Renteria’s continued PT in the face of Uribe’s fairly consistent competence, and refusing to allow Lewis and opportunity to re-enter the starting lineup, are certainly bash-worthy.
VAE PVTO DEVS FIO
No no no no no no no
Anyone would be a better choice for a cleanup hitter than Molina. Sandoval. Uribe. Ishikawa. Garko. Rowand.
Molina is a no-OBP guy hitting in like the second-most important spot for OBP. It’s completely the wrong spot for him and there’s no way he should be there.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Sandoval: If he were batting fourth all season, we’d be complaining about whoever Bochy hit third. This is shuffling deck chairs.
Uribe: He’s had in OPS+ in the 70’s the previous three seasons. His OPS was .724 as recently as 8/24, and August was the first time his monthly OPS exceeded .800. I can understand being sceptical of his performance in part time rols for the first 2/3rd of the season, and his overall performance didn’t really beond #4 worthy until his recent blistering streak.
Ishikawa: Really? REALLY? I consider myself an Ishikawa supporter, but his platoon-protected OPS+ of 88 is only two points better than Molina’s.
Garko: He’s hit like crap in 103 at bats since joining the Giants. I think he needs more opportunities to adjust, sure, but not in the #4 hole. Not yet.
Rowand: I could buy this, in the first half of the season, but I can understand the reluctance to move him from his confort zone in the eladoff role after such a poor 2008. The second half? Not so much. He had a passable August, but then, Bengie had an excellent August.
Molina is a no-OBP guy hitting in like the second-most important spot for OBP. It’s completely the wrong spot for him and there’s no way he should be there.
I can’t claim to be intimately familiar with the tenants of lineup construction laif out in The Book, but I’m pretty sure that the difference between Bengie and the next best candidate has been marginal at best.

Fact
when bengie hits 5th our offense is better. And when Renteria doesn’t play, our offense is better. Bochy has control over both of those things. It’s obvious from watching the team lately- when Molina is 5th, the offense is noticeably better
Uribe: He’s had in OPS+ in the 70’s the previous three seasons. His OPS was .724 as recently as 8/24, and August was the first time his monthly OPS exceeded .800. I can understand being sceptical of his performance in part time rols for the first 2/3rd of the season, and his overall performance didn’t really beond #4 worthy until his recent blistering streak.
lol ok, well when exactly did Molina’s overall performance become #4 worthy?
Garko: He’s hit like crap in 103 at bats since joining the Giants. I think he needs more opportunities to adjust, sure, but not in the #4 hole. Not yet.
And as has been conclusively shown in the past, 103 ABs is more than enough to judge a player on. More than, say 450+ of crappy hitting. Even in those “crappy” ABs, Garko has a better OBP than Bengie.

Is 103 AB statistica;;y conlusive? No, certainly not. As the saying goes, anything can happen in 100 at bats. That being said, no manager in baseball would bat Garko 4th given his production since the trade. Not one.
when bengie hits 5th our offense is better.
You chastised me for SSS on Garko, now I’ll return the favor. Molina has hit 5th in 3 games all seasons. Three. You can’t seriously tell me that it’s been proven that the Giants have a notably better offense based on Molina’s 15 at bats in the 5-hole.
And when Renteria doesn’t play, our offense is better.
I don’t know if this has been proven statstically, but I argued the same poit in my original post. To qoute myself: "
“Some other things, like Renteria’s continued PT in the face of Uribe’s fairly consistent competence… are certainly bash-worthy.”

True, it's SSS
but it’s the move that makes more sense, and it’s worked pretty much all 3 times it’s been done. So in this instance, I’m willing to trust the SSS

Sandoval: If he were batting fourth all season, we’d be complaining about whoever Bochy hit third. This is shuffling deck chairs.
This is not an argument. Also, Bengie has been so bad that moving him down to 7th or 8th or whatever and just moving everyone else up one spot would be better.
Uribe: He’s had in OPS+ in the 70’s the previous three seasons. His OPS was .724 as recently as 8/24, and August was the first time his monthly OPS exceeded .800. I can understand being sceptical of his performance in part time rols for the first 2/3rd of the season, and his overall performance didn’t really beond #4 worthy until his recent blistering streak.
He’s had an OPS better than Molina every day since the beginning of June. He’s better. He’s a better option.
Ishikawa: Really? REALLY? I consider myself an Ishikawa supporter, but his platoon-protected OPS+ of 88 is only two points better than Molina’s.
Not because Travis has been that good, but because Bengie has been that bad.
Garko: He’s hit like crap in 103 at bats since joining the Giants. I think he needs more opportunities to adjust, sure, but not in the #4 hole. Not yet.
You’re smarter than this.

So if that one month really matters so much, do you think that Uribe should be the guy? And if not, then Rowand’s been better on the year, so should he be the guy?
I can’t claim to be intimately familiar with the tenants of lineup construction laif out in The Book, but I’m pretty sure that the difference between Bengie and the next best candidate has been marginal at best.
A bad decision is a bad decision. This has cost us runs that we couldn’t afford to give up. This is not a good lineup either way. But it could be better and it’s really really stupid that Bochy is ignoring that.

This is not an argument. Also, Bengie has been so bad that moving him down to 7th or 8th or whatever and just moving everyone else up one spot would be better.
1) It’s a prefectly good argument. Remember those long debates over whether Bonds should bat 3rd, or 4th, or 2nd? This is essentially the same argument. Sandoval is the team’s only good hitter, moving him from one spot to another will only open another hole in the lineup, not solve a problem.
2) The guys batting 7th, 8th, 6th have pretty much been as a bad a choice as Moline, for reasons outlined above and below.
He’s had an OPS better than Molina every day since the beginning of June. He’s better. He’s a better option.
That OPS was based on 79 at bats, and flew in the face of 3 years and 1300 at bats of evidence strongly suggesting, even screaming, that he’s a crap hitter. You may feel it necessary to constantly play the hot hand, but it’s entirely rreasonable for a manger (or anyone else) think that Uribe’s performance has been a SSS mirage for most of the season (hell, I’m still not really convinced that we should bring him back).
Not because Travis has been that good, but because Bengie has been that bad.
The point is that Ishikawa’s been that bad too, and in spite of beneficial platooning.
You’re smarter than this.
Yes, I am, but most manager’s aren’t. There’s a benefit to judging a manager against perfect, but there’s also something to be gained from judging him against his piers (aka: the guys who would replace him if he were fired). No manager in baseball would be hitting Garko 4th right now after that debut, even in this lineup.
So if that one month really matters so much, do you think that Uribe should be the guy? And if not, then Rowand’s been better on the year, so should he be the guy?
The one maonth matters so much because of context. Rowand slumped badly in July, and has fallen off the planet so far in September. August was his one decent (if unspectaculat) showing in the second half. Unfortunately for him, August was probably Bengie’s best month of the season, precluding any kind of switch. Hitting Rowand 4th in August would have essentially been “playing the hot hand”, but Bengie himself was the hotter hand at the time.
A bad decision is a bad decision. This has cost us runs that we couldn’t afford to give up. This is not a good lineup either way. But it could be better and it’s really really stupid that Bochy is ignoring that.
Like I wrote above: It’s an unforgivably bad decision if you’re comparing Bochy against the idealized “perfect manager.” If you’re comparing him against his actual competition, it’s a venial sin at best.

I seem to remember sleepy putting out an insane number of different lineups, to the point where we all speculated if he was merely pulling names from a hat around Bonds.
Dusty, of course, had the benefit of an actual offense which more or less filled out it own lineup card.

At the same time, couldn’t the bullpen be better? Romo will have a full year under his belt and will be a true set-up guy along with Affeldt. Runzler looks like like he’s ready. Waldis might be too. Unless I’m forgetting someone, Howry and Miller are the only guys not signed for next year.

Bullpen guys just bounce around in effectiveness a lot, this year we’ve had good “up” bounces from Wilson, Medders, Affeldt and even Miller.
The bullpen could still be quite good next year, especially with some more bargain hunting by Sabean but I think it will be hard to duplicate this year’s success.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
Yeah. It could be but it could also we worse. Hard to tell with relief pitching sometimes. It’s unusual for this many guys to be so good and so consistent this late in the year.
I guess it will depend on how the starting rotation does next year. One reason why our BP is so good is because it’s also more rested compared to other teams. So take this week – Penny, Timmy and Zeets all went 7 IP. Obviously that helps the guys in the ’pen.
There are three guys I’d say have been sensational: Wilson, Affeldt and Romo. Wilson and Romo are both young and them having there’s best years isn’t all that fluky. Affeldt’s whip is down from last year, which is a continuing trend from the three previous years. Other than cutting his HRs allowed way down, his other peripherals are actually worse from last year.
I don’t see any red flags that those guys are due for a fall off in 2010.
I think with Waldis and Runzler, the team now has more depth from which to build a solid bullpen.

I was out last night with some friends
I got up this morning to read the game day threads. During the second thread I just had this urge to put on journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” in the background and I finished reading the rest of the thread with Journey blasting.
