Giants Lose the Game, Series

Adrian Gonzalez admires the flight of the Giants' season as it sails far, far away.

by Marcio Jose Sanchez - AP

Adrian Gonzalez admires the flight of the Giants' season as it sails far, far away.

Dropping two of three to the worst team in the division at home. Scoring five combined runs off Kevin Correia and Wade LeBlanc. Wasting your time. We're not in this thing.

The same post-Coors disclaimer applies: if you want to get technical, we're still in this thing. Maybe Colorado will lose three straight at the same time the Giants win three straight. And then we'll have hope again.

Because, really, I'm just geeked about watching Joel Piniero throw a complete game, 77-pitch shutout against Randy Winn, Eugenio Velez, Bengie Molina, and Edgar Renteria in the only playoff game at home this season. That's why I'm living and dying with the team. I just can't wait to watch this team against some real competition.

Star-divide

In five years, most of us will have mostly positive memories of this season. It was the season we weren't expecting, the season that was worth watching. That's because we're stupid. Really, really stupid.

And of course, the reason that the Giants lost this game was a failed bunt. THE LITTLE THINGS omg! Forget that even with runners on second and third with one out, a Velez strikeout and Sanchez popout wouldn't have done anything. Forget that the team was offensively inept for the rest of the game. The Giants can't execute THE LITTLE THINGS.

Screw it. I'm so not watching the game tomorrow. That's a promise. I'll probably come back on Friday, but there's no way I"m watching any baseball tomorrow.

they’re not firing Sabean after such a successful season, especially when nobody thought they would be any good. The only question left is whether Sabean in on board with this veteran love of Bochy’s, or it’s making him angry. I could see Sabean cutting him loose if this continues.

No way...

The only way, I mean the absolute only way that Bochy doesn’t return next year (other than his untimely death in a hot air balloon accident), is if Sabean doesn’t return.

I hate to give Bochy credit but...

…despite all our ragging on him for his vet lovin’ ways, Aurilia has had exactly ONE at-bat since being activated. (He even got a hit in that one at-bat!) That’s the same number of ABs as Guzman and Frandsen, and 2 fewer than Bowker.

Bochy’s not going with vets over youth right now; he’s dancing with them as brung him (as they say).

I don’t remember. But somehow I ended up with like Matt Schaub, Chad Pennington and Shaun Hill, half a defense, nine tight ends and one and a half running backs.

It was really bad.

Wishful thinking department:

Who would be a good manager for the 2010 Giants?
Or, if you’d rather, who would’ve been a good fit for this year’s squad?

Do managers and coaches just inevitably look terrible when seen on a day-to-day basis? Is there any manager out there of whom the McCoven would approve? Steve Decker seems cool, but might be just as prone to maddening flaws. Tony LaRussa is a winner, but his hiring would break teh interwebs ’round these parts. Bud Black? Do San Diegans dislike him for any particular reason? Joe Maddon?

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

That LaRussa’s contract was up at the end of the year, and STL might not bring him back.

I’d like to see Decker or Wotus get a shot, though. I wanted Wotus before they brought in Bochy.

Are you sure?

I posted this yesterday. It’s from Bengie Molina’s blog, Behind the Mask:

That game on Sunday against Colorado, Bochy and our bench coach, Ron Wotus, did an amazing job. They’re always on the same page, figuring everything out, what moves to make, which arms are fresh. They have to consider so many different things. I really admire how they go about their business.

Doesn’t that shake your faith in Wotus a little?

It doesn't for me.

The bench coach’s JOB is to mirror the manager. That doesn’t mean that if he were the manager, he would do the same things. I think Wotus would be good. He really does think differently than Bochy.

ok, so the next time the mayor talks to Wotus he needs to keep backing up until Wotus stops telling him what he wants to hear. If it’s >= the distance between the home dugout and the catcher then I think we’re on to something. But frankly I’ll be pissed if Wotus hasn’t been using this ability already.

the reality...

  with the trash available on the free agent market next year, combined with the horrible contracts we already have on the team, our 2010 cleanup hitter will have to aquired by trading a pitcher or two (not named timmy or matt).

Pablo Sandoval would be a pretty decent cleanup hitter.

Were it up to me, our lineup would look something like:

1) Fred Lewis LF
2) Marco Scutaro SS
3) Buster Posey C
4) Pablo Sandoval 3B
5) John Bowker RF
6) Freddy Sanchez 2B
7) Aaron Rowand CF
8) Ryan Garko 1B

But that’s not gonna happen.

scutaro won’t happen with rent’s contract, but not bad. i also like lewis leading off, and would like to see what we get out of regular at bats from bowker. my starting point:

 1. lewis lf
 2. sanchez 2b
 3. sandoval 3b
 4.
 5. bowker rf
 6.posey c
 7. nate cf
 8. rent

  but it’s not going to happen either.

Well he could play RF, if Bowker played 1B. He’s not good at it, but he has played there (in the majors, even).

I don't know who you are or how old you are

but you have grasped what an entire Major League Baseball team’s scouting and executive staff has failed to grasp for a full two seasons.

I’m just very, very happy that Pablo has emerged to be the 3 hitter. I hope the Giants’ next manager will pencil that in with the same consistency Botchy has featured in not filling the cleanup spot for nearly every game in the past two years.

Bengie is hurt that you would think he's thin-skinned.
It’s always a shot in the arm when we get the September call-ups and the young guys join the team for the last month of the season. Much was made last week about the Giants management "trying to light my fire’’ by adding Buster Posey to the roster. When reporters asked if I thought the Giants were "sending me a message,‘’ I answered honestly. I didn’t think that’s what was happening. But I said IF the Giants were trying to send me a message to heal faster from my muscle strain, it’s kind of an odd thing to do. I have never given less than 100 percent, and the Giants know that, so what would be the point of "sending a message’’? I think it was reporters looking for an angle.

So before the game the other day, I was standing near Posey in front of some reporters and joked, "Hey, you better not light that fire too much. I don’t want you to burn my *!‘’ Buster kind of looked at me funny. I guess he hadn’t read the paper. Later I explained it to him. He laughed. That kid is amazing. He’s so humble. Such a nice guy. I think he’s going to be a superstar.

I saw him sitting one day by himself in the dugout, so I called him over, (I wasn’t playing, either.) We started talking about catching and strategy and how to last a long time in the big leagues. If he’s going to take my job someday, I want him to be the best. I want him to take care of these pitchers. I want him to help these guys and be a winner. I’d love to stay here and work with Posey when the time comes. I don’t want to go anywhere else. But it’s the Giants’ decision to make. It’s out of my control.

The truth is I don’t spend much time thinking about what’s going to happen next season. I’m thinking about right now, today. Who are we facing? How do we pitch them? How to win this game and then the next game? Nothing’s better than playing games that matter in September.

Thanks for reading. See you at the park!

Dammit

I didn’t realize this was Little League. I thought it was big boy sports – and winning ballgames was the bottom line. You get the job done or someone else does it for you.

Instead, Bochy has to coddle Molina, Renteria and Winn, who are clearly not going to turn things around.

Bochy feels the need to show respect to the work these veterans have done “to get the team where it is now” (laughable), but what he’s really doing is showing the ultimate disrespect to the pitching staff that has done all the heavy lifting. You don’t think the staff is tired of having to pitch every game on a high wire? Help these freaking guys out already!

The Giants braintrust thinks they are protecting the future of this team by not pushing their young guys too hard. Same old Sabean bullshit, different season. Baseball success is fleeting, and there are no guarantees this pitching staff will perform next season the way they have to this point. You have to grab for that fucking ring when you get the chance – if these guys think it’s going to be so much easier next season, they are bound to have a rude awakening.

What a freaking joke. The fact that Buster Posey still doesn’t have a big league at-bat, and that Garko has 3 at-bats in the last 6 games should be a fireable offense for these two chuckleheads.
