Post-Game Recap: Giants Beat the Diamondbacks

It's better to be four back rather than four-and-a-half back. And don't you forget it.
Also of note: Brian Wilson got really good when we weren't looking.
Damn.
Also also of note: Freddy Sanchez should probably reevaluate his expectations for a new contract, and if he has any dignity, he'll give the Giants the first shot at a cheaper Freddy Sanchez. What a freaking disappointment.
Also also also of note:
If I had to pick which situation wouldn't be freaky-crazy, give me the 5-7/9-3 combo. Ridiculously unlikely? Of course. But not once-in-a-generation crazy.
We're in this thing, but only because hockey's so lame.

Adam Kennedy since the Trade Deadline: .287/.360/.392
Cost of acquiring Adam Kennedy: Presumably not Tim Alderson
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

To be fair, I wouldn’t have been overwhelmed with joy at getting Kennedy, even for a low price.

It wouldn’t have been as exciting but it likely would have been a much more useful and less expensive pickup.

It wasn’t a long show, just about an hour, but boy can they still rock. You could tell Buck was feeling his age, as he didn’t move too much, but he had what felt like 10-minute guitar solos for about every song. In fact, most of the set felt like a giant guitar solo (which is right up my alley).
I’ve seen Metallica, Tool, and a number of bands live, and this one is definitely up there as one of my favorites.

In my case, my aunt was in Sri Lanka for two years when I was a kid as a Peace Corps volunteer – right before things really got out of hand there. The volunteers who replaced her had to be evacuated by helicopter a few months after they arrived, in fact. So it’s a long-standing interest for me.
I have a long-standing interest in India too, but like I said, it’s generally had more to do with its mythology and such than its politics. Although I can name about half of India’s prime ministers (thanks, Sporcle), which I guess is pretty nerdy in itself for an American, I suppose.

For the Howry haters: It’s more likely that’s a bunch of bad luck than a lack of mental toughness or talent, especially considering that Howry’s been a late-inning reliever for years.

Listen my general argument was that I feel people only rely on stats here. Which I think is a mistake. I think it’s dumb to completely ignore intangibles and observational scouting just as it is equally dumb to ignore statistics and go with gritty, veteran, been there before bullshit
My observations of Howry has been that he sucked in meaningful situations. And Grant backed up what I had seen with statistics. So obviously the two can and should work together.
And yah I went all “i’ve worked for a baseball team” for a bit but I stand by that to a degree. From having spent time in a major league locker room there is more to a guys performance than statistical projections. There are nuances. Unfortunately we have a melonheaded swedish chef who relies on these nuances to the team’s detriment. And that is something we can all agree on in.

FWIW
Howry certainly hasn’t been very effective in tie games.
Where he has been pretty effective is being brought into games with runners already on base in the middle innings. That might be the best time to use him.

yeah
see, the giants are making such huge mistakes that the criticism is so basic, that it might seem like a “macro”.
They are 10 years behind the curve in their statistical analysis, just based on where other teams are. 25 if you look at what Bill James and Pete Palmer, et al, were writing.
Just look at Freddy Sanchez. I think that the statistical analysis went as far as “300 hitter, All Star”.
Molina, average and home runs, he must be one of the best hitting catchers in the league.
by DrStankus on Sep 22, 2009 9:31 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
To be fair, I think there was a good statistical argument for acquiring Sanchez… that said, I don’t understand how they could have possibly botched his injury situation so thoroughly. How can you look at a guy’s injury that kept him from playing for his new team for half a week and think, “Oh, there’s no way this could be a problem down the line!”

Free of Charge
The argument against Howry: He’s been terrible in high-leverage situations this year, which is a reliever’s most important job. So, even though that’s more than a little luck based, it is fact of how he’s performed.
Also, since low-leverage relievers tend to face worse hitters than high leverage ones his shiny ERA is less impressive.

it doesn’t, but many managers tend to put their best pinch hitters in for the high leverage situations. Also, guys throwing garbage innings tend to see a lot more of the “B” lineup.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

Not sure how much of a difference that would make, except in real blowouts.
Also, given that there is a stepdown by dint of coming in as a pinch hitter, not sure that unless it is a super star coming in for an at bat that the pinch hitter is going to be better than what was there (non Giants lineups excepted).
And, if it isn’t a blow out, then you are likely to use your superstar getting a day off in a higher leverage situation.
by DrStankus on Sep 22, 2009 9:16 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not sure how much it effects the stats of a pitcher either (I’m playing a little bit of devil’s advocate here). But just to elaborate, Howry has faced batters with a collective .737 OPS this year, while Affeldt has faced a collective OPS of .774.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
by oldjacket on Sep 22, 2009 9:59 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would say the fact that high-leverage relievers face tougher hitters probably has little to do with pinch hitters, because few of them are that good. It’s more likely that a RHP is specifically brought in to face a tough RHH. If Affeldt’s in there and Khalil Greene comes up, you’d probably stick with him. But if it’s Pujols, time for the right-hander.

algae
I was reading about using this to create diesel, which can be burned very cleanly now.
Wouldn’t impact the food supply, like other methods. Wouldn’t cause an increase in electric power use, which has a ton of problems for creation, storage and transmission.
Take the Prius…ultimate green car, right? Except for the environmental impact of creating the batteries, which is tremendous.
Diesel wouldn’t have that much of an up front cost either, since existing gas stations already have or could easily add diesel pumps. The current cost of a hydrogen pump is over $1MM!

The lead for the batteries is mined in Canada, sent to eastern europe for refining, on to Japan to be put into the actual batteries and then the car (it might stop in China for part of this) and then potentially shipped to the US.

Not true. Gasoline engines are so inefficient that even given the mix on the current grid, an all-electric fleet would produce somewhat less carbon than the current gasoline one. If the grid were powered entirely with coal, it would be close to an even swap. But it’s not.

Depends on how new an engine you're talking about.

absolutely
the important thing to realize about gasoline from petroleum is not that it is such a great source of energy.
Rather, it has so much value because it is a reasonably safe and reasonably dense energy storage mechanism.
Batteries are still a long way from having the capacity to be used like cars are used. And there are the mining and disposal costs to the economy to the environment to worry about, and the cost of fuel, and the likely need to boost the grid massively. And if you are just burning coal? Meh.
Hydrogen burns clean. However, it is less safe than current technology. Also, right now, IIRC, the hydrogen is being derived from petroleum, which is less than ideal. And there would need to be a massive infrastructure to put pumps in place.

If the receivers were actually good, they might be getting more touches.

I think Hill’s fine as long as the team isn’t down by two scores.
He’s not going to win the game by himself, which is okay when you’re not down big. But there will be games when the defense makes a mistake or someone fumbles or Hill throws a pick-six (I feel like an ass using that term and I don’t know why) when the team is already down by like four points, and I don’t think he has the skillset to overcome that.

I like Hill probably as much as any rational person, but even the team is saying “if we can possibly win the game by relying on any other player but our starting quarterback, we’re going to try to do that.” As of right now, I don’t think there’s any reason to want to bench him, but I’d be pretty worried if he keeps fumbling, throwing up jump balls, and putting balls into triple coverage. And let’s not forget the AWESOME play Isaac Bruce made the other day to prevent an interception. Except for a few really nice drives, it hasn’t been pretty with Hill. But his mistakes haven’t been damaging yet and his successes have been plentiful. If he doesn’t improve and that ratio balances out, it could be trouble. But he’s doing fine right now, and the results are there.

Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — A top prospect for the San Francisco Giants was charged with murder in the death of a 25-year-old man last weekend at a bar in his Caribbean homeland.
Angel Villalona, who received a club-record $2.1 million bonus when he was signed by the Giants in 2006, wore a bulletproof vest Monday to his hearing at a court in the city of La Romana. He pleaded innocent to the murder charge.
The 19-year-old Villalona could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty in the Saturday night shooting death of Mario Felix de Jesus Velete.
Judge Aranibal Manzano Zapata ordered Villalona jailed for two months while authorities prepare their case in the Dominican Republic. Villalona turned himself in 12 hours after the shooting at a La Romana bar.
“This is a serious case of voluntary homicide,” public prosecutor Jose Polanco said.
Police haven’t said what the motive for the shooting was.
Villalona, who appeared tired at Monday’s hearing, refused to talk to reporters and tried to hide his face from photographers.
The first baseman played in 74 games with Class A San Jose this season, batting .267 with nine home runs and 42 RBIs. Baseball America chose him as the Giants’ top prospect before the 2008 season and he was selected for the Futures Game during All-Star festivities that year.
The Giants said Monday night they wouldn’t comment further after issuing a statement Sunday saying the club was “disappointed” to learn that Villalona was considered a suspect by Dominican police.
“We will monitor the situation closely and trust that the judicial process in the Dominican Republic will resolve the matter promptly and fairly,” the team said in Sunday’s statement.
Frank Micheli, president of the Azucareros del Este — Villalona’s winter baseball team — did not immediately return calls.
