Post-Game Recap: Penny is Money
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 2, 2009 6:52 PM PDT
Email
PrintDidn't know that Penny could still throw 95 after his shoulder wonkiness. I say we get that guy!
I really can't stand the new "NL is 50x worse than the AL" meme. Really, it's only 48 times worse, at most. Luckily, this dominant start by a piece of AL flotsam against an NL powerhouse will start to change some minds. Fight your prejudices, people!
Great win, especially considering that most of us had penciled Happ in for one of those 8 IP, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K specials.
Worth nothing: If Posey were catching, there would have been 17 passed balls that led to 15 unearned runs, and every hitter that Penny struck out had would have reached first as the ball rolled to the backstop. Clubhouse chemistry would have been at an all-time low, and Eli Whiteside would have started a Lord of the Flies-style clubhouse revolution, which would have ended in a large fire that canceled tomorrow's game and forced the Giants to play a doubleheader on the day after the season ends. So be careful what you wish for. Have you ever seen Reefer Madness? It's kind of like that, but with inexperienced catchers.

I could not have asked for a better debut. Freaking awesome.
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
Don't lie.
We both know that you could have asked for a better debut, but you just didn’t want to seem like a greedy jerk so you didn’t.

Posey starts tomorrow, Whieside needs a rest and Molina isn’t ready to go.
co-dad of IshikaBOOM w/AfDC.
Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
I thought Bochy said Molina is back on Thursday.
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
Bochy said he didnt know
Molina said he’s going to be back tomorrow but he also said he was going to be back yesterday.
Every estimate seems to be accompanied with a caveat that he’s still not close to 100%, so I’m sure there’s lots of wiggle room. But I’m ignorant and have been wrong before . . .
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
does anyone else think
we’re getting hosed by the umps?
"Some guys are admired for coming to play, as the saying goes. I prefer those who come to kill."
looking at it objectively
they hosed the phils a bunch of times too. it was a wash tonight.
I choose to watch the Giants try to score runs. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
Fuck that
we can complain after anything! Even a no-hitter!

Penny will pitch next in the home opener next Monday vs. SD.
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
So, Molina or Posey tomorrow
Not what you want, what you think will happen.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Are you still talking about Posey’s ass?

Crabtree not signing for a long time!
Where is bondslegend and all his optimism?
No one here gets out alive.
We call him cashtree around here.
Bengals finally signed their #1 – and he promptly went out and injured himself.
he'll cave before the start of the regular season
no way he’s dumb enough to sit out the entire season
and if he sits out the season
then his football career is pretty much over.
He wouldn’t be picked in the first round next year.
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
it's not just that
you can’t voluntarily sit out of a football season and expect to be able to pick it back up. Mike Williams and Maurice Clarett are perfect examples of that.
i like how the Niners are handling this. They are basically saying that the organization still has its pride and is bigger than any player.
No one here gets out alive.
Lets see how Greg Paulus looks for Syracuse this year

If calling a game is such a big deal, then why aren’t major league catchers judged by it? How would anybody even know if a guy is calling a good game when pitchers can shake off a pitch or location at any time? I’ve never heard anybody say, we need to get rid of this catcher, he doesn’t call a good game.

as a former Catcher, I’d beg to differ too… a good catcher calling the right game makes all the difference. If pitchers don’t have to think about their next pitch, they can focus on their mechanics and the baserunners.
I think the real key to what I said is at the major league level.
We’re talking about the best 150 – 200 or so starting pitchers in the world throwing to the best 40 – 60 or so catchers in the world.
Calling a game makes a difference, but at THAT level, with such a small number of people playing and calling games at such an absolutely elite level, the difference between the “good” ones and the “bad” ones just isn’t that much. It’s very small. And when there are deficiencies, usually the pitchers, who are also small in number and also VERY elite, are generally good enough to compensate.

Playing time might be good for them, but I don’t know how good it would be for the Giants. I prefer Gark/Ishi platoon at 1b, and Rowand, Lewis, Schierholtz outfield. If one of Travis, Nate or Lewis can’t play, then there seems to be spot for Johnboy. Buster should provide a better offensive option than any other Catcher (excluding Pablo who is not on the C depth chart anymore/for now.)
co-dad of IshikaBOOM w/AfDC.
Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
yeah I love that Schierholtz is getting time, he’s proven to be a good ballplayer, and his cannon of an arm helps too, but I like Bowker over Lewis personally (until Lewis can get out of this slump of a season).
I say give Bowker some starts in Left and use Guzman as a pinch hitter, if he can do anywhere CLOSE to as well as he has in the minors, he could be the best Giants hitter this season besides Panda. And definitely use Posey as backup instead of Whiteside if not use him as the everyday starter…

RE: Fresno Mania
Check out Scheifholtz’s and Ishikawa’s stats from Fresno 2008. Heck, even Fred’s from 2007. In comparison with Bowker and Guzman years in 2009, those past successes in Fresno are very impressive. I’m not convinced, off of Fresno stats, that Bowker or Guzman will be any better than our current crop of Fred, Nate and Travis. And the three already in the bigs are all at around or under 300 PA, so a hot or cold streak could create some significant fluctuation in their numbers.
And double check your stats and figures on Fred Lewis. His “slump of a season” still see him outperforming most of the team, and he is even above average for the league at the moment (OPS+101)!
co-dad of IshikaBOOM w/AfDC.
Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
yeah i just did check… I somehow didn’t realize he’s been doing well lately and since he hasn’t been playing I assumed he “must be slumping still”. Why the hell isn’t he getting more playing time… Bochy’s favoring Row and Winn for being vets I guess?

Well Bowker just looked terrible.
When you come up into the bigs, you have to get some kind of results. IE: Velez and Schierholtz. Bowker sucks, and I will give it to Guzman, he didn’t have to much of a chance.

Molina said it,
but giantsfan4life paraphrased a little and added his own comment on the end
Per Baggs
I asked him point-blank if he felt the Giants were sending a message by bringing up their top prospect, especially after they said multiple times they didn’t plan to do so:
"You know what, probably," said Molina, who is a free agent after the season. "This might mean I’m not coming back next year. Who knows? I’m ready for anything. I know how baseball goes. Whatever they want to do. The only thing I can say is that I’ve got my chin up always. I’ve done a lot for this team and helped many guys. I hold my ground. I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of. If they don’t bring me back, hey, you have to move on."
"Regarding any messages, I don’t know. If that’s what they’re trying to do, I don’t think that’s the way to send a message. But if they are, who knows. We’ll see."

I wish him well whatever/wherever.
I really don’t think he sucked intentionally , and the abuse heaped on him here is pretty astonishing – even blaming him for calling the wrong pitches , as if all pitches are delivered with pinpoint accuracy…but hey , that’s the nature of fandom. “What have you done for me lately?” You produce , they love you. You fail , you’re A BUM.

I think Whiteside can handle the starting catcher spot.
Even though his bat needs some polishing. I also watched a bit of the 02 game 6 world series collapse on mlb network today; up to the collapse, then I turned it off. Anyway, it made me bitter towards Bengie. When i saw him batting for that bastard Angels team, I cringed, and then I saw all the fans out in left taunting and throwing shit at Barry, I got angry all over again. Guess I am not really going anywhere with this, just pointing out bengie is still one of those Angels to me and every time he hacks at bullshit I get angry. I still want to beat every Angel fan and player on that team.

His bat needs more than that. His bat is awful. It’s really, really terrible. If you’ve seen anybody complain about how bad Bengie’s bat is, it’s because they simply don’t have the cognitive power to deal with the fact of how unbelievably bad Whiteside’s bat is. He’s an awful, awful hitter and should never, ever, ever, ever, ever be allowed to be an everyday starter for anybody.
He’s an okay backup. Steve Holm (steals aside…) is 10 times better, though. Looking at Holm’s numbers with the Giants, it surprised me that my first thought was actually “he could start for the Giants in left field TODAY with those numbers.”
And then I kind of had a sad.

I honestly can’t think of who would be a better #5 next year, unless madison comes up.
I choose to watch the Giants try to score runs. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
They should offer him arb to get compensation, but he’d probably decline and sign elsewhere, especially if he performs well the rest of the season.

Penny sucked it up in the AL and then shut down an elite NL team. Doesn’t look good for the NL from my point of view.
Zito was good in 2006 in the AL, then he was sucky in 2007 and 2008 in the NL. Therefore, the NL is better than the AL.

The AL has less teams and both the Yankees and Red Sox.

Obviously the AL is better – probably a lot better – but otherwise intelligent people flipping their shit about Penny pitching a good game are being intentionally obtuse. People like Keith Law should KNOW that Penny wasn’t as bad as his stats in Boston said he was. 8 shutout innings, of course, is really something but it shouldn’t come as that much of a shock if he pitches better for the Giants than he did in Boston and not just because of the league difference.

"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Oh, I get that, but I keep on seeing all kind of weird arguments for why it’s not true. It’s usually either just some sarcastic “HEH BUT THE AL IS BETTER”, as if saying it like that makes it any less true, or all kind of random facts like the fact that they have a DH, which is probably just a disadvantage in inter-league games, or the fact that the teams are richer/that the AL has the Yankees/Red Sox, which is really just a possible explanation for why the AL is better, not an argument for why it’s not.
HA HA HA LOOK AT ME I'M ALL HAPPY AND STUFF NO REALLY CAN WE STOP WITH THE COOKYMAN IS SAD JOKES?

I think the AL is better, but I don’t think its that simple. I would be interested in seeing park factors compared between leagues. I know this isn’t going to work b/c not all NL teams play at all AL teams and vice versa but it would be nice to see what a hitters park in the AL would play like in the NL. Or a NL pitchers park play like in the AL

I do think, in the end, as NL fans, it just gets kind of irritating to see people constantly being like NLOL or AAAA LEAGUE! I mean, is it really that big a deal if the NL is weaker than the AL? It’s not as though every NL team that has played in the World Series the last few years has been utterly embarrassed. (I know it’s a small sample size of games, but if you listen to the way some of the biggest NLOL proponents talk, the NL team should be blown out in every game.) I just don’t get why some analysts seem to be personally offended that the NL is weaker than the AL.

last 6 years, the WS is 50/50. Go back to 01, and it’s still 50/50. IDK what the fuck people’s deal is on this, since the WS is the only thing that really matters. An AL team gets, what, AT LEAST 320 ABs from “not the pitcher” every year, and probably more? That’s not even a fair comparison to make IMO.

Why in the world would that give the AL a significant advantage in interleauge play? It’s much harder to get a DH to play defense than it is to get a position player to play DH.

Ignore, please.
technically Schilling is an independent, not a Republican, though he did campaign for Bush and McCain, so he might as well be one. But, he should probably run for school board or city council or the House first before trying to become a Senator. Of course, he could just get kicked out of Harvard for cheating….

don't know if anyone discussed here...
but Baggs today or yesterday noted Giants batters average 3.58 pitches per AB.
That’s incomprehensibly bad.

I wonder if there’s some sort of sabermetric graph that translates pitches per AB into expected runs?
Proud father of Barry Bonds.
I don't know about expected runs, but ...
I know that several years ago (10? more?) I saw a chart that purported to show correlation between higher #P/PA and OPS. Put those two tables side by side and you really see that the players in the top group of one are top of the other, and the middles, and the bottoms.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
Makes sense. I was just thinking about a simple, “work the count, you hacking tool” graph along the lines of x=P/PA over y=R. Maybe that would sink in?
Penny’s 8 pitch strikeout tonight was huge, in that it led to Torres’ 9 pitch single and the Giants’ first run. It also gassed Happ for the following inning, when we got 3 more. Why can’t our hitters work a count like that more often?
Proud father of Barry Bonds.
Yep. I've been on board for a decade.
Cost the other team more pitches, bitches. It is smart for all kinds of reasons, individual and collective. Sigh.

I’ve been watching baseball for 40 years, and mgrs. have always said “the walks killed us.”
But they still don’t say “our walks killed them.”

Wry Sabertooth is wry.
True. And a great point. They should honor walks as much as hits in their post-game cliche festivals.

Poor Clippers
They play in an arena with Purple seats and Lakers banners hanging in the rafters. I really think they should move them down to the Honda Center in Anaheim to get more of an OC fanbase going. I usually go see a few Clippers games a year (when they play the Warriors, Cavs other good teams in town) The tickets are a lot more affordable than Laker tickets and it’s less crowded.

Wow, great game to boost my spirits, just wrote a paper, i have 2 others to do by next wednesday, and i’m sick with the cold, i hope! Because swine flu has been going around pretty good around our school here in Ohio. I got asked to go out tonight for a pub crawl, and i was so tempted to just go out, but now i’m here talking to you all here, and playing madden, i feel like such an ass. But i guess staying in is good, whatever helps my cold. But there were some good lookin ladies that asked us all to play beer pong at their apartment and i turned it down to do this, right decision?
Yeah

As the game progressed, catcher Eli Whiteside calmed Penny even further by collaborating smoothly with the right-hander.
“There’s not a guy who’s called a better game for me in my career,” said Penny, a 10-year veteran who improved to 9-4 lifetime against Philadelphia. “I’d grab a pitch that I’d want to throw and he’d throw [the sign for that pitch] down. We were on the same page. I didn’t have to shake [him off] a whole lot. That’s pretty impressive for never catching me.”
“That’s pretty nice to hear from a guy who’s been around awhile,” said Whiteside, the eight-year Minor League journeyman who has caught five shutouts in his 24 starts. “I’m not out there throwing the ball. He had a little part in that.”
Penny sure is kissing his share of ass

I’m not sure that I really would prefer a different backup, but I’m virtually certain they’ll pick up a decent backup catcher somewhere in case Posey really struggles. Also, whoever it is might have to start the season as the starter (maybe for 2-3 months), so you want somebody who can at least hit a little.
Why would you bring Posey up to sit on the bench when the only thing he lacks is experience catching professional games?

ohhhhh, my bad buddy, didn’t realize you were quoting that, in my opinion, he’ll play a few this year
It might be that I’m a bit defensive as I think I’m seriously in the minority regarding Gerald.
I think that at his main requirement for development at this point is experience (primarily defensively), and the only way bringing him up this early in his pro career makes any sense is if he is playing every day, or at least very often.

Yea, like anybody in any sport, wouldnt you imagine that playing a game would help you develop rather than sitting on the sidelines? At the same token, i want to just say that Eli as a catcher has been pretty damn good, but with Posey, yea, he provides a pinch hitter, another catcher, and a pinch runner
Everything is magnified in a playoff push, and if Posey makes one rookie mistake, the press will be all over Bochy for putting a rookie in that situation. Not to mention if he hits .190 Kawakami will coin him the next Todd Linden!
Pablo's success aside
I was not hot on the idea of skipping AA for him- or anyone really. I’m glad he hit .300 in Fresno, but then that’s not a very elite category.

It’s not uncommon for elite position prospects to skip Eastern League. It’s a notorious pitcher’s league and causes players to develop bad habits in their swing in order to compensate.
Same goes for PCL and pitchers.
Yes on the first, I’m skeptical of the second. If he is not getting regular playing time, bringing him up to the bigs is detrimental to his development. It may be necessary (which I don’t concede), but still detrimental.
Utter frustration and futility.
by Johnny Disaster on Sep 3, 2009 8:54 AM PDT up reply actions
Yea, i see what you’re saying, I truly think that Posey will play a few games, but like you said, consistency helps a ton, and what’s weird is that not many people anymore are talking about the Ishikawa Garko platoon, where neither is getting consistency. Fact is, they’re both doing fine, and plus getting like 2 starts or 3 starts in a row?
They are at different positions and different points in their careers… Ishikawa has started almost as many MLB games as Posey has MiLB games, in addition to his Minor League experience. I’m probably being overly conservative, but I would like to see around 150 MiLB games for any catcher before being expected to function at the MLB level.
I do think he can probably hit at any level (with some adjustment period perhaps).
Utter frustration and futility.
by Johnny Disaster on Sep 3, 2009 9:14 AM PDT up reply actions
no no, yea i know that, i was just making a point at how many people here were not happy that Ishikawa and Richie were being platooned, and now it’s not a problem… But yea, catcher is by far one of the most important positions on the field, and with Posey, a kid who’s only played a year of minor league baseball, let’s just see what we have with him. I’m not for just screwing around with him at all though
I think I did not know this line of thought
because… there have been no elite position prospects to skip! Although I am not convinced that Fresno does much to develop good hitter habits, either.
This would have explained a lot when everyone was so disappointed by the continual FresnoLOL prospects that dragged through with the "he batted .300 in Fresno They were just filling out spots anyway a la Guzman, Downs, et. al. ad infinitum.

Um, I was suggesting that Posey might start next year in the minors, and therefore someone else would be the starter in the majors. I think there is zero chance they’ll bring him up to be the backup next year, even though that seems to be the plan this year.
It makes so much more sense when read that way…
But why start the arb clock on so young of a player just to be a backup? (that’s really a rhetorical question directed at the Ginants Brasz) Steve Holm can ride the pine with the best of them.

by Johnny Disaster on Sep 3, 2009 9:21 AM PDT up reply actions
But why start the arb clock on so young of a player just to be a backup?
I have no idea.
The best explanation that I can come up with is that they were going to have to add a catcher to the 40-man, and Posey was inevitably added next year anyway. So if they added Jacks or Holm now, they’d likely have to DFA them when they eventually wanted to add Posey. So why not just add Posey to the 40-man now (since he’s better than the other two guys anyway)? He’ll shake off some jitters and maybe he’ll even help the team. The downside is that if he’s not going to start next year in the majors, in order to avoid the whole Super 2 thing, they’ll have to bring him up a month later next year than they otherwise would have.
Yeah, I really don’t get why they’re calling Buster up if they’re not going to play him.

No, but indications are that he probably won’t get very much PT. Starting his arb clock early so he can sit on the bench just doesn’t seem like a very good use of resources (unless they’re going to sign him to a long-term deal this offseason.)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
I think that’s likely, overall, i’m happy with what’s going on, i know it’s different with what the White Sox did with Beckham since they play two different positions, but is anyone giving them crap for bringing him up?
But the White Sox called Beckham up and played him everyday…
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
If they do, I’d be pleased (as long as they signed him to a long-term deal), but I’m not really sure that’s going to be the case. And if they don’t want him to start right away, then all they’re doing by calling him up this season is delaying when they can call him up next year arbitration-clock wise.

Adrian Beltre returned to the Mariners line up on Tuesday — he had been out since he took a ground ball to the ummmm ahem “family jewels.” His walk up music for his first at bat was selected for him by Ken Griffey Jr. A little piece by a dude named Tchaikovsky… Something from …. the Nutcracker Suite…

Penny liked the plan and said of Whiteside, “There’s not a guy who has called a better game for me in my career.”

Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

San Francisco Giants
It took less than one year into a seven-year, $126 million contract for Barry Zito to be termed a bust, but despite the terrible time he’s had in San Francisco so far, Zito has picked a heck of a time to resemble the Cy Young winner he was in Oakland. If the Giants already have the best 1-2 punch in the game, then Zito has remarkably become a very effective third wheel, perhaps the best in baseball in the second half of the season. Since the All-Star break, Zito is 4-2 with a 1.92 ERA, which ranks fourth in all of baseball, and his stellar outing against the Rockies on Saturday, in which he pitched one-run ball into the ninth inning, may have been the single best performance of his three-year career in San Francisco. If nothing else, Zito’s revival takes some of the pressure off of newly acquired Brad Penny. That move wasn’t exactly championed by Giants fans, who still think of Penny as a Dodger — even if he doesn’t. When reporters told him he’d soon be facing his old team in front of 42,000 fans who hate the Dodgers, Penny responded, “42,001.” He may quickly turn some of those fans around if he pitches as he did on Wednesday night in Philadelphia: eight scoreless innings in a win.

Exactly.
Because as my grandmother used to say, “Like a Brad Penny, he’s always Turnip”.
At least I think that’s what she used to say. She had kind of a strong accent so sometimes it was hard to understand her.

I’m sure this is what Bochy saw :
Randy Winn vs Pedro Martinez
11 for 29, 6 doubles, 2 walks, 7 RBIs. .980 OPS
hopefully he lives up to that.
Velez on the other hand, well……

but that was when Randy Winn was good
now he sucks, so those numbers should be ignore. Using career numbers tells us we should start Aurilia vs. Pedro.
and in all honesty, I’d probably start Winn too if I saw those numbers, but I’d put him in LF and put Schierholtz out there in right.
i mean, really, it’s like he chose the first three and mad-libbed the rest.

About Velez, his defense and offense are both in the negatives this year. I know, SSS, but in 2008 they were also in the negatives. Is it just SSS, or does he suck, and Bochy doesn’t realize it, which would not surprise me at all.

Or at least I’m snarkily disparaging of him, which is my way of complaining.

I think Velez wins the prize for having most negative nicknames:
Speedy McFuckup
Baron von IronGlove
Captain Clank
and probably a few others I can’t think of at the moment.
How could you forget...
…Epicgenio Failez!
I’m not sure whether ‘Zorak’ qualifies as a negative nickname as such, although I’m guessing it wouldn’t be one he’d have picked out for himself.

How do you stand to listen to KNBR talk radio for more than like 10 minutes at a time? I just listened to it while I was driving home from doing some errands and they were talking about how Bengie Molina could possibly draw interest from some AL teams this offseason… as a DH.

You are thinking that they will discuss sports

I usually listen to music when I commute
I used to listen to KNBR but the hosts on EVERY show are just so uninformed, andthe ones that are somewhat informed complain about the stupidest things.
I was just too lazy to plug my ipod in for such a short drive and my XM radio free trial ran out, so I thought I’d listen to KNBR, but man… the last three times I’ve listened to it for something other than games or post-games, I’ve heard gems:
“As for Fred Lewis, I agree, I don’t even know why he’s still on this team!”
“They’re missing their three best hitters right now – Sandoval, Sanchez and Molina!”
“You have to think that Bengie is going to draw interest from some AL teams who want him to DH.”

I only listen to the morning show, and I love those guys. They rarely say anything crazy. Having said that, I just listened to the podcast of their interview with Kuip this morning and he was saying that no manager, in either league, has managed better than Bochy this season.
