Giants/Diamondbacks Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 21, 2009 1:12 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe Giants are about to start a series against the Diamondbacks. Before each game, someone will sing The National Anthem. Snacks and beverages will be sold at the ballpark.
Hitter to watch:
Whatever.
Until the Giants are mathematically eliminated, we won’t see John Bowker or Buster Posey, who are the only real internal options to help the 2010 offense. Bowker gets an at-bat a week, and he either walks or strikes out. Are the strikeouts happening because he has an untamable urge to flail at every breaking ball in the dirt, or is it because he’s caked in rust? No one knows.
There’s no way to find out in the heat of a pennant race because that would mean that one of the worst hitters in the league would have to sit. And then what would happen if Bowker were one of the worst hitters in the league? Chaos. Nothing would change from a statistical standpoint – replacing one bad hitter with another wouldn’t make a difference in the number of runs scored – but the veterans would run amok, staging a bloody coup. They would be completely incapable of understanding that poor performance might lead to decreased playing time, so they would act like overgrown toddlers with access to baseball bats. The sea would run red with the blood of those who dared lessen a veteran’s playing time. I mean, check it out for yourself.
The upside would have been that the Giants would have scored more runs, and perhaps they might have pulled out an extra game or two in the late months. But that certainly isn’t worth the violence.
When Jason Bay had an okay season in the Eastern League when he was 23, that was nice, but it sure didn’t mean anything. And when Bay hit well in AAA when he was 24, that didn’t mean anything. What meant something was when Bay got a chance with the Pirates, who weren’t contending, and he succeeded. Well, he was pretty poor in the same number of at-bats that Bowker received this year before getting hot, but that's not the point. It would have been nice if Bowker succeeded with the chance he wasn’t given, as that would make things pretty clear. It’s Bowker’s fault, though, that he failed in sporadic appearances at the major league level, which means much more than a consistent pattern of AAA success built over an entire season and utilizing an impressive and reworked approach to hitting.
In conclusion, it’s too bad that Bowker’s going to be blocked by the 6 year/$100M contract the Giants give to Jason Bay.
Fielder to watch:
A new series-preview category this late in the season? What gives? It’s worth it, though, as there’s a small chance that Buster Posey might start a game this season. So let’s just review what Tim Lincecum said about Posey’s defense:
I swear to all that is holy, if he starts one game, I’m walking off the team. When he showed up to catch my bullpen session, he had one of those novelty "#1" foam oversized fingers, and when I asked him about it, he sincerely thought that was a catcher’s mitt. Like, he wasn’t kidding. And then when he started calling pitches, he called for, and I quote, "a quick slant or an alley-oop."I’m sorry, but rookie catchers need decades of apprenticeship before they start. End of discussion. That would have ended our season if he started.
And don’t forget what Madison Bumgarner said when Posey caught the left-hander’s inning on Saturday:
"This time, it was like a regular game to me," said Bumgarner. "Balls went to the backstop, he threw a ball into the stands trying to pick someone off ‘at fifth base’, and he hit on the rosin bag. The guy’s a joke of a catcher."
Hopefully, if Molina gets a rest, we’ll see more Eli Whitside.
Pitcher to watch:
You’re still reading? Jeez. That much bitter sarcasm usually makes everyone leave for at least a week. Uh, a pitcher to watch, let’s see, uh… Dan Runzler. He’s much more impressive than I was expecting; I suppose I was a little cynical and expecting a high-eighties dookie specialist. Because young pitchers can handle stressful pennant races, we’ll see him a couple of times in the series in high-leverage situations. Even in the blowouts, it’s been fun to watch Runzler pitch.
Prediction:
Whatever.

So it looks like Billy Buckner will start tonight against Zito. Doug Davis will start tomorrow against Cain.
I assume that means we’ll see the Magic High-Scoring RHP Giants Lineup again tonight. Which probably means that Matt is going to get one of the LHP lineups tomorrow. Meh.
A lot if you just really, really want Cain get to 14 wins this season (his career high). Also our LHP lineups…well, you’ve seen them in action, right?
I think Rent has finally been purged from the LHP lineup. And Torres hit some dingers yesterday! DINGERS!

MON MOTHMA:
The data brought to us by the Bothan spies
pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor’s
new battle station. We also know that the
weapon systems of this Death Star are not yet
operational. With the Imperial Fleet spread
throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to
engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But
most important of all, we’ve learned that the
Emperor himself is personally overseeing the
final stages of the construction of this
Death Star.
I would say this is pretty damn good intelligence. They never said it was completely unprotected. Don’t blame the Bothans!

I’m laughing cause usually the phrase “clogging the bases” is reserved for some slow guy who has a 400 OBA, as a stupid knock, as though speed is better than being on base 40% of the time.

I still think the jury was pretty quick with him.
He’s pressing. There’s nothing to be lost in playing him at this point. If he turns it around, huge bonus for the club. If he doesn’t, we still have Ishikawa’s limp bat.
I think the jury on Garko is being kind of ridiculous. The guy has two years of major league production to refer to if you need any reassurance that he might actually be this bad. He’s not. There is a history to prove it. He’s slumping, and he should be given a chance to play because his major league experience tells us that he’s absolutely a better hitter than the rest of these jerks.

buster cleverly changes his name over the winter
to buster dueceocho, and prays bochy doesn’t notice….
I'm saying no.
Molina had his weekly day off on Saturday. I’m guessing he starts the next five games and sits out the day game on Saturday. I’d say it’s 50-50 whether Whiteside or Posey gets that start. On the one hand, we’re likely to be truly out of it by then, with no sane reason to stick with “the guys who got us here”. On the other hand, Bochy will probably still be the manager.

Means nothing. His contract status was never meant to be addressed until after the season.

Even if the Giants wanted to get rid of Bochy (and I am not convined they do), they could just wait until the season ends and not offer him another contract.

When the season's over...
When the last semblance of optimism is washed away.
When the numbers don’t add up and we can’t see baseball that remains in our interest beyond the coming weeks.
When we can get this pretense of contention over with and cut to the postseason where, inevitably, we will not take part.
When the pessimism drowns out the optimism, until it ebbs and the optimism is allowed to return, where it builds up again for another season, a new beginning, another chance to contend, to be relevant, to hope.
Somehow I can’t wait till when the season’s over. Something, at least, just to get me away from here…
I’m dreading the end of the season.

The only reason I'm glad the Giants aren't going to make the playoffs
Is that it must mean Bochy won’t be given a new contract, right? Maybe even Sabean will hit the road, please? As has been lamented over and over here, Bochy’s obsession with playing overpriced veterans who are the worst hitters in the league got to be a wee bit annoying. I just hope we pick up some offense this offseason. Oh well, GO NINERS and WARRIORS!
Making the playoffs wasn’t a part of the plans going into the season, so that necessarily isn’t a reason alone why Bochy won’t be back

Every interview I hear from Nuekom, he keeps saying they need to develop from the farm system.

I heard an interview with Chris Haft
and the interviewer(forget who) asked what the response was when Bochy was questioned about Winn batting against a lefty. Chris Haft kind of laughed and said that it was “off the record” I didn’t know what to take from that, but it still pissed me off
Wait, he didn’t actually say what Bochy said?

How different would it be?
Since June 3 when they were 20-32 and in last place, the Rockies have gone 65-33 for a .663 winning percentage which taken alone is the best in the league by far (even better than the Yankees). If you take that most ridiculous of hot streaks and temper it slightly so they play .600 ball over the last 98 games, they end up going 59-39 and would now be at 79-71 which would place them 1.5 games behind the wildcard leading Giants. Oh the pain!
Or to think of all the missed sweeps (Pirates, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Colorado, Arizona) or the terrible start to the season agains LA and SD.

This team would be a lot better if it wasn’t for all those games they lost.

The Bruce Bochy line
that sums up his incompetance: “We’re trying to win these games.” This is in response to whether or not Buster will play.

Study author Brent Coker, from the University of Melbourne said ‘workplace internet leisure browsing,’ or WILB, helped to sharpen workers’ concentration.
‘People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration,’ he said.
‘Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days’ work, and as a result, increased productivity.’

George [the artist] tells SFist: "I am currently at work with the fine folks at Q Restaurant and Wine Bar, who have allowed me over the past few months to make use of their largest wall for themed murals. This month, with our beloved Buster Posey sent. . .to the DL. . .I felt it appropriate to send him some well wishes from all his fans at the eatery."](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/202096/busterart_2_small.jpg)
