Post-Game Recap: Giants Are Most Assuredly Out of This Thing

Blerffh.

Blerffh.

Matt Cain's had bad outings this year, but this is the first time he's combined a) more than three earned runs with b) fewer than six innings pitched. On the few occasions he's been lit up, he's at least saved the bullpen from being overworked. It's been an amazing season for Cain. One absolute stinker is to be expected. If you're thinking it came at the wrong time, pshaw. This season's over.

Don't worry, though. There's still plenty of time to see if Eli Whiteside is the catcher of the future. Because when your team is down five runs, it makes sense to put in a catcher with a minor league career line of .244/.288/.393. That's the minors, mind you. That's a .288 career on-base percentage in the minors. But he KNOWS THE STAFF, and he's PAID HIS DUES, and THIS IS THE TEAM THAT GOT US HERE, so why would they put in a catcher who DOESN'T USE A WET FRUIT ROLL-UP AS A BASEBALL BAT when the team's down big? That's just nonsense. Savvy managing, that.

Done.

Whitside is a good defensive catcher, but cannot hit the ball. Seems like the perfect defensive mentor and back up for a young catcher that can hit the ball.

he pitched 2(?) innings

got out of a bases loaded 1 out jam that Waldis left him and only gave up one run…

then BORK BORK BORK pinch hit for him with runners on 1st and 2nd and Jesus grounded into a double play to end the inning

He hit a screaming line drive in the game; it just happened to be right at the left fielder. I definitely would not have had him bunting there based on what I’ve seen.

Kiup understands the cycle of baseball (he played on some pretty dreadful Indians & Giants squads) and how even a "bad" or "lost" part of a season can be used to build for next year. I think the absolute waste of that opportunity sits less well with him then it does with us McCoven.

Bip Roberts

I am amused that he was talking about being 5 games back with 11 to go, and he offered this paraphrased gem up: “I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of baseball.”

In a related note, he works for a Giants network. I’m sure nobody there has whispered in his ear anything about 1998.

P.S. Bip Roberts is tied for the all-time Padres club lead with 3 walk-off home runs. With? Bruce Bochy and Scott Hairston

Stadia.

I am unaware of football fields being curved. I was under the impression they are rectangular. Are they curved imperceptibly, like the columns of the Parthenon?

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

They’re rectangular. In dual purpose stadiums, they add extra seats to make the grass surface more of a rectangle.

I don’t think there is a crown in multipurpose stadiums like the Mausoleum, unless the whole baseball field is crowned. I think that’s partially why a lot of those fields get so messed up in rainstorms.

Maybe someone who’s been on the field at Candlestick knows? Where’s that dude with all the “I worked in the clubhouse” stuff? We could use a urinal fresh answer right here.

Murph makes up awful nicknames for players and then will NOT stop saying them at every chance. That’s really the only thing that annoys me about them. Otherwise, the REPETITIVE soundbites can be a little annoying, but they’re really pretty harmless.

Radnich is a jackass, but at least he’s playing the character of a jackass. Which still bugs the crap out of me, but is way better than Damon Bruce’s actual jackassery.

I haven’t listened to Fitz and Brooks in a looooooong time, so no comment there.

Razor and Mr. T are occasionally listenable, but I’ve come to find that both of them do the same annoying things every day and outside of the Steve Young show I never really get more than 10 minutes of listening out of them before I have to shut it off from getting mad.

A meniscus is nothing to be concerned about. I have had five athroscopic knee sugeries for meniscus tears (three on one knee, two on the other) in twenty years . They go in, trim off the damage, and you are good to go in about two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the tear.

It’s not that big a deal, but then again nobody is about to pay me $8M to play baseball :-)

I didn’t miss it or find it that salient.

I had a doc tell me a meniscus isn’t a big deal…then I slipped on it a few times and it tore my acl…I hate that doctor. So I have to say, a torn meniscus is baaad. At least in my experience.

According to Manager Bruce Bochy, Sanchez has "more of a tear in the meniscus. We’ll rehab him. It’s probably a few days if not more."

I didn’t watch the end of the game, but from what I’ve read in the game threads, it certainly sounds like Bochy laid a gigantic deuce right on Buster Posey’s forehead for no damn reason. What the horrendous, knife-involved fuck. Who does this guy think he is? Why didn’t Posey catch Bumgarner? Was there a stupid-shit reason or is a it a vast, incompetent conspiracy? Are they trying to restrict his at bats in the hope that he’ll win the ROY next season? I pray that they aren’t that stupid, but it is definitely possible. I’m astounded, angered and disgusted. There are no words for this. I didn’t think that things could be worse after Houston and Cincinatti, but they do appear to be.
