Madison Bumgarner Called Up; Lincecum Injured
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 8, 2009 2:23 PM PDT
Email
PrintHe might even start tonight, but for now we just know that he's at least getting called up. Rumor has it that Tim Lincecum has a sore back, and that's why Bumgarner is getting the call. I don't like that rumor, though, so I'm just going to ignore it.
But you're welcome to use this thread for an old-fashioned "Lincecum is hurt and Bumgarner's arbitration clock is starting and what is wrong with this organization and why am I bleeding from the eyes and they released Travis Denker what in the hell" freakout thread.
___________________________
Edit: Update from Schulman:
I want to stress that I have not confirmed this directly, but team officials are not denying The Chronicle's suggestion that Madison Bumgarner is being promoted so he can start tonight's game in favor of Tim Lincecum, who cannot start because he is hurt
___________________________
Edit: Update from the press conference: It's a back injury. Lincecum is day-to-day. Unless he's not injured, like some callers on KNBR think. Conspiracy! Or, maybe his spine melted in a freak industrial accident and they're just not sure how to tell us. I recommend that you all continue to freak out.

They have playoffs in the minors? Seriously, who cares? The minor leagues are only for player development, nobody gives a shit who’s the champion.
I just moved to Portland, ME and I have been looking forward to MadBum pitching against the Portland Seadogs in the playoffs for weeks
Wisconsin: Famous for dairy, Ryan Rohlinger and not much else.
The Giants don’t own the minor league teams (except for a share of SJ, I believe). These teams operate independently and they care very much. This is obviously part of the deal, since they don’t own the players, but usually the major league organization tries to be sympathetic. Considering Bumgarner isn’t even close to major league ready, it’s pretty shitty for Connecticut.

It is reasonable to think that Madison Bumgarner gives the Giants the best chance to win on September 8th, and that’s why he’s up. It’s a contestable point, but it makes some sense.
And if that’s what Sabean believes, I commend him for not worrying about arbitration clocks. Get the best people up when there’s a playoff race going on.

I think it’s a no-win, well almost. If he’s up, Lincecum is hurt. I’m also not sure if Bumgarner is ready for the majors. I don’t like the idea of starting his service clock maybe a year early? There’s a good chance that Bumgarner might not be ready for the majors at the beginning of 210.
I checked Wikipedia to see if anything happened in the year 210, but apparently the world was really boring that year. The only even listed was Rome making peace with the Scots.

First off, I sure as hell hope this has nothing to do with Timmy. Assuming it doesn’t, why not bring up the MadBum? We may actually be able to use him in the pen in the stretch run, no? I mean, did anyone else see Hinshaw pitch yesterday? And I don’t even mind if he is just going to sit on the bench. Call me old-fashioned (or whatever else you want to call me), but doesn’t it make sense to create some continuity with guys you know are going to be a big part of this team in the next couple of years. Bring them up to absorb the playoff atmosphere, even if it’s just to watch their teammates sweat it out. So you spend a bit of cash, and you start the clock a little early. Big deal!
the thing is, it’s not a question of Bumgarner vs. Hinshaw. There are a large number of arms in the pen that will likely do just as good or better than Bumgarner would.

BREAKING NEWS
The Giants have purchased the contract of Johnny Gress, head groundskeeper of the Connecticut Defenders. They are going all in on the wild card chase and figured maintaining a great playing field will further help the struggling offense.
Bochy has commented that Gress will only work the infield during blowouts, as he wants to keep the current grounds crew fresh after the job they have done in 2009 that contributed to the Giants having the best home record in the NL.
Win the inning.

UPDATE: Bumgarner to start tonight for Lincecum?
Henry Schulman reporting from the ballpark:
I want to stress that I have not confirmed this directly, but I’m getting a strong vibe that Madison Bumgarner is being promoted so he can start tonight’s game in favor of Tim Lincecum, who presumably cannot start because he is hurt.
I’ve been told that manager Bruce Bochy is going to make an announcement at 3:45 p.m., when the clubhouse opens to the media, which is very unusual. He normally talks around 4:30.
I’ll update as soon as possible:

Knowing Bochy he’s gotta be thinking that he needs an experienced catcher to catch Mad Bum even though Posey has caught him a few times before. I can’t see him having a pitcher and catcher make their major league debuts at the same time.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
you know, bumgarner is just going to throw all fastballs
Bochy must be asking for 5 innings from him. So 90 fastballs with a couple of sliders.
Even Fucking Posey can call that shit. What’s so hard about holding down “1” ?
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW

Bumgarner to start; Lincecum hurt
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The Giants are calling up their top pitching prospect, Madison Bumgarner to pitch tonight against the Padres.
Tim Lincecum is reported to be injured and will miss his start tonight.
Baseball writer John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle first reported the move to call up Bumgarner this afternoon.
Bumgarner, just two years removed from high school, was the 10th overall pick in the 2007 draft and was dominant at Double-A Connecticut, posting a 9-1 record with a 1.93 ERA and 69 K’s.

PLEASE LIVEBLOG THIS!!!
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
The five stages of grief are:
1-Denial-“this can’t be happening to me”, looking for the former spouse in familia places, or if it is death, setting the table for the person or acting as if they are still in living there. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.
2-Anger-“why me?”, feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with spouse of divorce, for death, anger at the deceased, blaming them for leaving.
3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the spouse who is leaving, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to come back.
4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning loss of person as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.
5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that it takes two to make or break a marriage. Realization that the person is gone (in death) that it is not their fault, they didn’t leave you on purpose. (even in cases of suicide, often the deceased person, was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of person.
On posey, we were at step 4, on Bumgarner/Lincecum, we are on step 2

Rox injury update – man, back injuries galore
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, still hobbled because of back spasms, will not play tonight and there is no specific timetable for his return.
And now there is a new name on the Rockies’ injury list. Third baseman Ian Stewart, who hit the game-winning home run on Monday, showed up at the clubhouse today with a stiff back. It doesn’t appear serious, but it’s bad enough to keep Stewart out of the starting lineup. He might be able to be used as a pinch hitter tonight.
I blame Chris Berman.

"Comfortability, yeah, it's a word." Brian Wilson
I am going to assume a few things:
One, the Giants knew they were going to do this when Bumgarner pitched 1 inning in his last start.
Two, Posey will catch tonight for a few reasons, one being that he has started to get some bullpen work in.
We shall know soon.
With malice towards the Dodgers
People on twitter were reporting they saw Madbum in California last night with a very lightly packed bag, looks like he got the words and got here in a hurry last night.
This is not a spur of the moment move. This has been in the plans at least since yesterday.

WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO MAKE A CARD JUST LIKE WRATH OF GOD ONLY IT’S NOT CALLED WRATH OF GOD. THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN PLAY 8 WRATH OF GOD BECAUSE WRATH OF GOD IS GOOD BUT THE FACT THAT YOU COULD NORMALLY OTHERWISE ONLY PLAY 4 KEEPS PEOPLE FROM PLAYING WRATH OF GOD.

—Bengie Molina is catching Bumgarner. I know, I know, Buster Posey probably knows him better.
–I know what some of you are thinking: Wouldn’t it be cool for Posey and Bumgarner to debut together? It occurs to me: On April 14, 1925, catcher Mickey Cochrane and pitcher Lefty Grove debuted in the same game for the Philadelphia A’s. They’re both Hall of Famers. Pretty awesome.–Did that last bit of trivia distract your from worrying about Lincecum? Thought not.

Brian Sabean figures that if he buys enough bottles, one of them is bound to have lightning in it.
why is it our best players getting injured?!!!
Rowand, Win, Molina, Renteria all fine (fine enough to keep putting their sorry asses in the lineup anyway).

According to the manager, Bumgarner was going to be called up anyway Tuesday to be used as a left-hander out of the bullpen, replacing the struggling Alex Hinshaw. Bumgarner was a combined 12-2 with a 1.85 ERA for Class A San Jose and Double-A Connecticut. Bumgarner replaces pitcher Osiris Matos on the 40-man roster.

what was the point of sending Hinshaw down?
Seems like its the ultimate diss if you get demoted after the rosters expand…also MATOS DFA’d!!! freakout time!!!
they get to save on paying Hinshaw the mlb minimum for the remainder of the season and they send a message that his crappy pitching will not be tolerated. that’s my guess anyway.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
they probably figured they could not put him out there again given his pants-shitting exercise yesterday. he should be happy he was not the one DFAd.
well it was essentially a tryout
for an expanded role
so i think they could have just not expanded his role and that would have been punishment enough….its not like they are using everyone anyway…(Jesus, Buster, Richie, etc.)…but oh well…can’t get too caught up in fringe player morale i guess.
