I wish the Giants had Jermaine Dye
That way he could have missed that ball in the first inning, and then the Brewers could have scored two runs, and the loss would have been over faster.

I actually really like him, I think he is a great player. Also I live in LA and when the Dodgers played the Brewers the press decided to go after Fielder solely for his weight and it was completely class less. Every single he hit, they would reference him setting off the richter scale or eating a base. The first time I didnt mind, but the 8th Fielder attack of the article just seemed strange and uneeded. I don’t know, but the baseless attack made me start to like Fielder
Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?
His slide into 2nd today probably would’ve made them go crazy. I think its exciting to see a guy that big move that fast and then superman into bases.
Side note: I met Prince when he was like 8 years old with his pops at a party after an A’s vs Tigers game and he was already like a 40% to scale model of his father. Nothing he can do about his genes, don’t really see why the press would feel the need to attack him about it. Dicks
love him
I think Prince becomes a FA in 2011 and the Giants should try to land him if the Brewers can’t get him to sign a long term contract. He’s a big boy, but athletic. The celebration was kind of bush league, but why blame him … the entire Brewer’s team was in on it.
With all the crap showboating in football and hoops, I’m surprised it’s taken this long to get to baseball.
I can honestly say I'm glad I missed the game.
One run on 10 hits with 11 LOB?? One run on 10 damn hits??

i am slamming my head on my desk trying to figure out why we cant score runs……..no results yet
And because we don’t or can’t bunt guys over with no outs.

They do just fine with productive outs. The trouble is that productive outs aren’t all that productive when you can’t hit.

I was thinking more of the poor bunting technique displayed by position players. I don’t think the lack of fundamental bunting technique would show up significantly in that PrdOut stat as that situation late in a game is relatively rare.
Poor bunting is something I’ve seen a few times this year by position players, but yes, the simple inability to hit the ball is the overshadowing weakness of this team.
Utter frustration and futility.

Grant discussed this a few days ago. This is incorrect.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
no, grant’s analysis wasn’t complete. if you define a productive out as moving a runner along, many times you still need a hit to get that runner in to score.
the giants lead baseball in making outs. period. lowest OBP = highest % of making outs.
so:
a) we’re great at making outs. (below average hitting; worst at drawing walks)
b) we don’t try to bunt in the 1 situation it’s necessary for this team (man on 2nd no outs)
c) today we tried to bunt, but couldn’t execute.
the sad thing is...
the pirates who are in last place, and when they lose their next game will have 17 consecutive losing seasons which sets a record, HAVE A MUCH BETTER OFFENSE! it just doesnt make sense….it doesnt add up….i’d rather have the nationals offense…the padres have an excuse cus they play in petco…. we seriously needed to pick up dye, and i dont understand why we didnt
With the Nationals offense this is a 100 win team

no but its just frustrating when your starting pitcher goes 6 strong, giving up one run and striking out 9 and you cant do anything to help him…

i’ve been a fan since 1977. this is, by far, the best pitching staff i’ve seen a giant team have, and it’s being WASTED because of this JOKE of a lineup.

Not if you looked closely
Garko’s a guy who hits LHP real well, but has always been below average against RHP.
Martinez’s not as good against LHP as Garko but a proven track record as above average against both, and better against RHP. He had hit worse each month this year after an injured and terrible 2008, so questions existed on whether he still had it, but he was a proven hitter.
He was just more expensive in salary and would’ve cost more in prospects. And would’ve left Ishikawa without a role except as a pinch hitter (unless … oh, say Bengie got hurt and V-Mart had to play catcher?)
And could’ve played catcher next year while waiting to see if Posey was ready.
But Garko’s not really below-average against RHP, he’s more like average to above average. He was above average this year before the trade.
Obviously I would give the tie to Martinez – longer track record of success, etc but there really wasn’t much of a difference at the time of the trade. Now, Martinez has hit very well since and Garko not so much, but that doesn’t make their statistics as Indians this season more different than they actually were.

I don't know where all the Whiteside hatred is coming from...
Since he didn’t leave anyone on base.. Uribe is the one who left 6… and popped up while trying to make an out..
That would’ve given Molina the sac fly if he actually would’ve bunted it correctly…
I don't see a lot of Whiteside hatred
I see one guy who would rather see Posey start.
Because, you know, Posey is really really good.

Who's this Posey dude..

All crap aside, Whiteside really is handling our pitching staff brilliantly.. I don’t feel like diving into the statistics but our e.r.a. when he’s catching is quite good I would think.
I like Whiteside just fine
He’s a good backup to have. But this team is desperate for offense, and you have Buster Posey who, oh hey look at that, will probably be a great hitter. So it’s a pretty easy desire to understand.

The first one, yes, the second one, kind of. .500 baseball on the road is great for us at this point; it may not be enough to make the postseason, but it’s a hell of a lot better than we have been doing. We really should have swept this series except for the LOLFENSE (although we didn’t deserve to win today, we were living dangerously and finally got burned). If we can keep it up at home and play .500 on the road we could win.
Except, of course, the Rockies never lose.

This was one of the worst managed ball games i've seen
1-Merkin Valdez throws 1 pitch. He was luckily able to get it past Braun. He wasn’t able to get it past Fielder.
2-Merkin Valdez is not a multi inning reliever. Why have him face murderers row when Affeldt wasn’t used?
I wouldn’t have wanted a fresh Valdez to face Braun/Fielder/McGehee let alone after Valdez already threw an inning. This loss is on Bochy IMO
Grab Some Pine Meat!
Affledt has had a lot of work lately. Bochy probably didn’t want to use him unless he really really needed to.

Dang, so NOW you can throw strikes?
what I was thinking about Merky as Prince’s HR cleared the fence.
Of all the people he should have walked….
I may sound like a bit of a fascist by saying this, but I think we should force Merkin to throw the split.
It was supposed to be a knock out pitch, but it was also blamed for the injury problems.
As far as I can tell he has two choices. Start throwing the split again and hope his harm holds up long enough for him to earn a few million dollars.
Or stick with what he has and be that anomoly that blows despite almost decent control of a 100 mph fastball only to be out of the league in a year.

Missed It
On the assumption there was no way to sweep in Milwaukee. Looking back at the box score, though, I’m curious how close we are to records for achievement (wins would be the metric I guess) with minimal offense. Anyone know?
I mentioned in the thread that the Dodgers won 85 games in 2003 with a 79 team OPS+.
If someone has Play-Index, they might be able to find in more depth. Someone mentioned looking at the Dodgers teams of the 60s, but Dodger Stadium had such a crazy park factor that I bet their OPS+ wouldn’t be too bad.

I say it's okay to show up teams
Especially the ones that deserve it. The Giants might get all worked up into a frenzy, but I don’t feel sorry for these pros unable to execute baseball plays. Too, if their undies are all bunched up because of it, go and do something about it. The Giants have thus far demonstrated they’re good at giving it up, but can they take it back?
How is that even showing up the other team?
God, baseball is so full with all these “rules”. DONT HAVE ANY FUN!!

From watching them and following the team
I can’t imagine them doing anything to “show up” the Giants. If anything, they’d probably want to tell them where to go eat or golf or hang out in town with their families or invite them along.
And hey, the Giants won the series and throttled their offense for 3 games. If anyone was shown up it was the home team.
They have only themselves to blame. Don’t like other teams having a bit of fun? Go out and execute next time and don’t play like such morons.

It’s amazing. Like, when the Cavaliers did their little bowling thin during the pre-game ritual, it was funny. But they had time to prepare, they all knew it was coming and it was just all planned out. But with this one, they had to practice it not knowing if they’d ever get a chance to use it, and then suddenly they get that opportunity, only they don’t have time to get prepared, and they especially don’t have time to think about it since their minds are racing from winning a ballgame, and yet every player was on cue and ready to go.
I’m going to bed.

I’m not too big a fan of choreographed celebratory nonsense in any sport. That probably puts me in the minority of humanity… and I turned off the TV as soon as I saw the ball go over the fence, so I didn’t see that little gem until just now. It was well executed and reasonably original, I have to give ’em that, despite the amateurishness and lack of class that sort of thing indicates to me.
But doing your little schtick in response to just barely managing to avoid being swept at home strikes me as a bit jerkoffy.
Utter frustration and futility.

Welcome to the Minority of Humanity
I am not particularly a fan of pointing to the sky after every bloop single, or Wilson’s little closing ritual (how about honoring your father by striking out the side?). And I am definitely not a fan of football players that dance like members of the Tongan rugby team every time they knock down a pass or make a tackle.
But I’m definitely in the majority with: if you don’t like it, play better. Nobody knows what the Detroit Loins do when they win a football game anymore.

Yep – I laughed my ass off.
I didn’t think it was “showing up” the Giants. Dude hits a walk-off homer in his home ballpark & the celebration was more of the guys having fun with themselves as opposed to directing anything toward the other team.

Especially since we don’t know what goes on in the other team’s clubhouse.
My thought upon seeing the celebration was that awhile ago a similar situation occurred – walk off home run, big dude gets mobbed by teammates at the plate subsequently knocking someone over blah blah blah … and a media guy said something like “He almost took the whole team out like bowling pins.” The players hear about it and decide the next time a big guy hits a walkoff they’ll be silly. Who knows.

Because I was at Fiesta Hermosa ( A beach street carnival at Hermosa Beach in LA) with the Gf and some buddies. I spent a good amount of time in the beer garden wearing my giants hat and got at least 5 people saying “GO GIANTS” but only 1 person saying “BOOO GIANTS” That says a lot about the shitty fans in LA… Just thought I would share that after the 6 beers i had.

Poor Bochy wishes he could put out a regular daily lineup
I’ll be i might be able to do it. Let me give it a shot.
CF Velez/Torres

3B Sandoval
LF Bowker
1B Garko
C Posey
RF Schierholz
SS Renteria/Uribe
- I don’t care about Velez’s learning curve in center.
- I don’t care that Posey would need to learn how to “call” games. I think our stud pitchign staff can survive the poor Rookie’s growing pains.
Bowker at clean up? Interesting.
I was thinking about lineups today, too, and what about if/when Bochy benches Garko and Ishikawa and moves Pablo to 1B when F. Sanchez gets back? I wonder what Bochy’s LOLineup would look like then.
LF Velez
2B Sanchez

How is it that we know a lot of the same people, root for the Giants, both played MTG and etc yet I don’t recall ever having an extended conversation with you?

I am a few years older than most of the crew at Berkeley, so you probably just missed me. I was there from 95-99
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW
But another guy will fill in for him, and likely post the lineups. Can’t remember his name.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
whoa, I had no clue it was a 1 pm start. Awesome.

izza holiday today… so it’s an early game time
stoopit bay bridge closure, if it wasn’t for that headache we might have gone to the game today.
Oh hey, I think I heard that the Giants game today is also an ESPN radio game – for those out of the KNBR area. Double header baseball on ESPN Giants and then I fergit who.
I finally watched SUGAR last night
t’was a really good film. I would recommend it.
Bruce Bochy: Leave him alone, he's the Manager Man and his BORK is much worse than his bite.
Despite my constant ball-busting, it managed to make me feel for guys like Eugenio Velez when you consider the shit they have to deal with to make it this far in the game.
