Listening to Kruk/Kuip going ape-shit while Miller calls it so elequintly is my favorite part. They sound like kids watching the game along with us. It’s so cool to hear.
Totally.
I mean, I know it’s unprofessional homerism, really, but who gives a shit at that point?

Cannot stand those who said BLB did not care about the game…look at him run on the field after the game was over!
I think I would be every more excited if this year’s team did this…
Cannot stand those who said BLB did not care about the game
I don’t know who could say that. Every time Bonds was asked about the home runs he would hit after the game he would talk about whether they won or lost.

So I offered a buddy of mine all the beer he can drink at a bar as long he pretends to enjoy the game. (he’s not much of a fan)
That’t the thing. I’m sure at least a few of my buddies would be down to go out with me. They aren’t gonna care about the game though.

One of the good things about this site, for me anyway,
is that I don’t need to watch the games alone, which I’ve done mostly for years. Sure, Alex has been there some, and there was a girlfriend who genuinely liked the games, but I’m going to watch anyway and that often ends up being solo. Baseball is best watched socially, but that simply isn’t possible for me at local bars. (This isn’t San Francisco where a person can walk to a variety of places.) And bars are expensive, especially for three hours. Plus, at home I can grade papers or read while watching, but I can still give and receive commentary.
All told, it’s a good compromise. Cheap (in the better way), social, and safe from drunks on the highways, myself included.

Actually, we tried that, too. Neither MGM nor NYNY was showing it.
We were staying in NYNY, though, and we made friends with the guys running the beer bar Pour 24, so they basically put on all the Giants & Niners that we wanted. Only reason I went to Chicago Brewing is because I was going with people who live in Vegas (I know, right?) and they don’t like the Strip.

No worries here
Padres threw in the towel when MatLatos made is glorious rental statement and AGonz imagined out loud of playing in Wrigley Field
Kevin Mitchell has a black belt in keeping it real.
In my ideal game
Pat Burrell would hit an extremely important home run, and upon crossing home plate, look over at the Padres dugout, straight at Latos, and drag his hand right under the ‘Giants’ on his jersey, as if to say “This is real.”

I don’t see Burrell as a rental, any more than Willis would have been had he suddenly proven not to suck after all. Those two were begging for work and the team gave them a chance where the Padres, among others, did not.

11th rounders can't be choosers
Of course I wish the Giants had drafted him. He’s a schmuck, but what an arm.
I thought he was 13th
And also, wasn’t the consensus that he was a 3rd to 5th rd talent
Buster Posey>
"Screw it, Redbull time"-Brian Wilson
The intertubes say 11th. Signed by Joe Bochy. But I kid, of course. Brian Wilson was 24th round, but would have gone high if his arm hadn’t fallen off.
You're probably right
but yeah, I do remember him falling due to immaturity
Buster Posey>
"Screw it, Redbull time"-Brian Wilson
I did not remember him being highly touted. But it looks like the immaturity is an issue. Makeup matters, which is why you want someone like Posey or, you know, the guy I wanted instead of Bumgarner, since you know that they are going to make the most of their own talents and maybe even help influence a few teammates.
Burrell has been around for 2/3rd’s of the season. At this point, he’s just as much a part of this team as anyone else. Hell, he has similar service time with the Giants to Buster Posey this season.

Depends how well you test, but when I took it (briefly considering dumping the investing biz for teaching; might still happen) I found it even easier than, say, the Series 7. It’s not exactly the CFA or the GRE Math.
teaching is a scary field right now. Everyone always blames teachers for everything so you get no sympathy from anyone. Seriously when I tell people how tough the job market for teachers is the most common response i get back is “good, they deserve it”. That and the govt might basically take control of the classroom and we’d basically become glorified robots, reading from a script.

She gets there at 7 and leaves at 5…for 6 hours she not only has to make sure 30+ kids don’t kill each other, she has to actually teach them stuff. She is on the entire time, no breaks, no timeouts, nothing…me…I get lazy and visit baseball blogs
I want to teach at a continuation school too so its gonna be rough. Your wife is a hero. She should be getting praise but instead people are using teachers as a scapegoat for the lack of good parenting in this country.

It’s his willingness to give the Krukow Stankeye to opponents when their behavior displeases him. He would appear to be a real traditionalist in that way. I’m almost surprised he doesn’t come inside high and tight more often than he does.
probably still at least a little rattled from the whole Wright incident. (I know he didn’t mean to hit him at all, but still after something like that, I wouldn’t exactly be going high and tight with every opportunity)

Oh, and speaking of bandwagons
Heyman and Stark from ESPN have now both come out in favor of Posey for ROY.
I’ve changed my mind on this three times just this month. But I finally settled on Posey, and here’s why: Because, since the day he arrived in the big leagues (May 29), Posey hasn’t merely been the best rookie in his league. He’s been one of the best players, period, in his league. The only NL hitters who can match his .313 batting average and .511 slugging percentage since then are Albert Pujols, Carlos Gonzalez, Joey Votto and Matt Holliday.
Well golly
that thur’s some mighty fine company for the little fella, wouldntyasay?

Everyone
Should be in favor of Posey for NL ROY.
Only the spreadsheet clutchers touting OBP are still in the Hewyard camp. I love fangraphs as much as the next nerd, but the pro’s for Buster are overwhelming at this point.
7 RBI’s for Heyward in September.
7 homers for Buster in September.
Done and done.
It's Beard inside.
I am a proud spreadsheet clutcher, and a huge nerd.
RBIs are a fucking useless statistic.
But Buster should still win the award, for two reasons:
1) The PT difference is not his fault.
2) His position is much, much, much harder than Heywards.
im starting to gravitate back towards liking the rbi as a stat after years of hating it.. I think looking at someone with a large amount of rbis implies that he has a decent slugging percentage and batting average. Plus im one of the few that believe in clutch. Its like when you look at a country’s infant mortality rate to determine if its a developed country, It doesnt tell the whole story but its fairly effective

But
There are better statistics to measure everything you’re talking about.
Just look at his SLG and AVG if you want to. If you’re intested in clutch, look at his slash line with RISP or something.
It is not at all effective, because it doesn’t tell you anything about his ability.
You get an RBI when someone gets on base in front of you and you drive him in. HAVING SOMEONE GET ON BASE IN FRONT OF YOU IS NOT A SKILL.

There's nothing wrong with RBIs
Until you start using them to compare the value of different players. I have no problem with RBIs when talking about a player, just for the love of God never ever bring it up as an argument for explaining why Player A is better/worse than Player B
Useless? They might not be as helpful as other stats in evaluating talent, but what about winning?
The stat directly shows a player helping their team score. Homerun, a line drive, or a sac-fly, it doesn’t matter how they drive runs in, they are getting the job done.

Spreadsheet Clutcher argument for Posey
Batting:
Posey wOBA .374, RC+ 135 430 PA wRC 68 wRAA 18.3
Hayward wOBA. 376 RC+ 137 609 PA wRA 98 wRAA 26.6
So, batting they have been essentially equivalent, but as we know 609 > 430.
So, if they were both DHs, Heyward would be ~8.5 runs ahead or roughly 1 win.
The WAR different is in favor of Heyward 4.4 to 4.0, but I don’t think this is fair.
Posey gets +3 runs for being a catcher, and +3 runs for defense. I am going to accept those, so +6
Heyward gets -6 for being a RF (RFs hit better than almost everyone) and +1 for defense. I accept those to for -5
8.5 -11 = +2.5 runs in favor of Posey.
The difference in WAR is soley due to replacement level (+14 for posey, +20 for Heyward ) – which is to say, 609 PAs of a replacement level RF vs 430 of a replacement level catcher.
I don’t think that the replacement levels/defensive levels/positional adjustments are accurate to 6 runs, so fuck call it a tie. Tie goes to the Posey.

Perhaps you can help me understand
Shouldn’t replacement level be subtracted from performance? That is, it’s wins OVER replacement, so why don’t we expect more offensive production from the replacement level player in right field vs. the replacement level catcher? This has always confused me when I read fangraphs.
well
replacement level is technically ZERO… that’s why it’s wins over that.
But you can’t just set it to zero, because then you don’t account for playing time. I suspect they do it this way because the batting and fielding components are above average. So the RL is added (or subtracted a negative) to account for that.
If they reported Fielding runs above replacement and batting runs above replacement then they wouldn’t need this factor.
When this .sig was awaiting the Final Sabean Apocalypse, I never once in a million years suspected it would be a "good" Apocalypse. Bengie... Don't let the door hit you IN YOUR GIANT ASS on the way out!
-------
PARPG- Indy post-apocalyptic roleplaying game totally stalled and basically dead at this point
Hmm...
It seems to me that if you produce X amount of runs more than some replacement batter, it shouldn’t matter if you produced them in 50 games or 100 games. The only way this makes sense to me is if the replacement factor is a conversion from “above average” to “above replacement,” but then it doesn’t quite make sense that FG sets it at 20 runs per 600 PAs…
[After writing the above]: Just read FG’s explanation of Replacement, and the conversion is exactly that. A replacement player is set at -20 RAA/600 PA, so any PAs you have “keeps a replacement off the field” for that amount.
right
so to summarize my argument:
Posey is better then Heyward if you measure above AVERAGE instead of replacement level. Which you could do. Sometimes. If you wanted your guy to wint the ROY or something.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel picked right-hander Vance Worley and left-hander Cole Hamels as the starting pitchers for the final two regular-season games against the Braves.
Worley will start for the NL East champion Phillies against Atlanta’s Tommy Hanson on Saturday. Hamels will face Tim Hudson on Sunday.
Meanwhile, third baseman Placido Polanco returned to the team on Friday. He had a cortisone shot in his left elbow Wednesday in Philadelphia. Greg Dobbs will start at third base in Friday night’s game against the Braves.
Jayson Werth, the regular in right field, will make his 19th start in center field. Shane Victorino is away from the team because his wife gave birth to a boy on Thursday. Victorino is expected to return for Saturday’s game.
Hudson is pitching Sunday?!
Does that mean he isn’t #1 vs. us?

I’m supposed to go do a beer run (literally running a mile while drinking beer) after work, starting at 6 PM my time. I’m in Alaska, so that comes out to 7 PM Pacific Time. I don’t expect it to finish for an hour, which means I’ll show up to the game late. Should I call in sick? To be honest, I didn’t sleep much last night and do feel a little sick.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

For the post-season, they’ll rotate people in and out every three innings, so getting there late is better, really. Or you can watch the Dugout Store TVs from the sidewalk.

I'm not really a Giants fan.
In fact my earliest sports memory was as a Phillies fan age 6 (in 1994) staying up until midnight to watch the Giants beat the Phillies by three runs. Stuck with me for a long time because the strike happened shortly afterwards. So for some reason I harbored an irrational and mostly undeserved hate for you guys for a while, even after moving back to Modesto. I hardly ever watch baseball anymore as I’ve almost completely lost interest for one reason or another.
But still despite all that I can’t help but get caught up in the frenzy. Maybe I’m bandwagoning or maybe being surrounded by Giants fans for so long has worn me down into submission, but I’m excited for you guys and I’m not ashamed to say it. You’ve waited a long time for this and it’s much deserved.
Good luck tonight and enjoy the game.
Thanks
And FWIW, I hated the Phillies for a while for Terry Mulholland’s no-hitter.

But I have a strict bandwagoning policy of jump on, stay on, and I’m not sure if I can make that commitment yet. And I have too much respect for you guys as a fanbase and as an organization to do that. I’m content with being happy for you guys or for being a casual admirer for now, but I do appreciate the offer.
My reaction to the Phillies winning the World Series a few years ago was “Oh good for them” if that’s any indication of how disconnected I’ve been from the sport.

I kind of think a little fight would be great. Like bench clearing. To spite Sanchez’s spouting off and that he ended up being right, if we lose a game in this series, can we try to hurt a Giants player or fart on their mound or something? It doesn’t do anything but make us feel better but injuring a guy to spoil their playoff run would be kind of funny – albeit bad karma.

Ross was only hitting .450 against the pads this year (at the time he was traded)
but the problem is, Ross is a streaky player, like Burrell, who is either red hot or ice cold. Ross had a great road trip recently, and the second we get home, Bork takes him right back out. Fucking stupid. You want all the D you can get against the Pads
yeah, but that's BORK

what it sounded like to me, was that bork was saying Pablo starts to get into his groove, then take an 0-fer, and starts to press again. so leaving him out when he would probably take an 0-fer batting RH against Richards, isn’t a bad idea.
Renteria, who hasn’t played baseball in 2-3 weeks, IS a bad idea

--Daisy Owl
i dont know what a “replacement level players” stats would even look like. Are they from average AAA players, or what?
and we’ll never know if Ford is even replacement level since he’ll never get an AB
No, we know based on the fact that he OPS’d under .700 in AA this year.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
he did terrible on AA, I admit that, but just for a second, think about Dustin Pedroia. He was horrible in the minors, then came up to the bigs and was horrible for a while there too. They stuck with him, and now look at him. I know Ford is not Pedroia, but it’s just a frame of reference, and food for thought.
I think Ford should get some ABs in ST next year, so we can see how he would perform at the big league level- though I would bet you are 100% correct on this, I would have made the same bet on Pedroia back then as well.
I’m not saying Ford is the next Pedrioa. It just would be nice to know what we really have in him. I understand not getting ABs in the heat of a playoff push though… maybe in one of those blowout games I would have liked to see him bat, but one or two ABs is very SSS
Are you talking about the Pedroia with a .392 OBP in the minors?
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper

Well, darn. I like to dream.
It’s all hoppy, innit? I thought the whole genesis of the ‘I’-PA was to help preserve the draft on voyages to ‘I’-ndia.
by wcw on Oct 1, 2010 3:49 PM PDT up reply actions
It was originally, and that’s what the the British IPAs still are. But once the modern American craft brewers got their hands on the super-pungent PNW hops, it’s been dragged out to the extremes. Big Daddy, Pliny, etc have little resemblance to the IPAs that actually sailed around Africa (which I have no problem with).
As a rule, the fresher the hops, the better the beer. True for getting hops off the vine and into the beer, and also for the beer being bottled/kegged to drinking it. And the more the beer depends on hops for flavor, the more important is is to get it fresh.

Makes sense. The stuff my roommate used to make that really liked to be stuck in a dark closet for a month or three was all in the stout family. Though some of his hoppy stuff liked a few weeks better than being cracked right away.
We didn’t bottle, though, maybe that’s an issue. We had a kegerator and his beers aged in liberated pony kegs.

Not really – JH 27 BRAA per FG, Posey 18. RT @Beerman124 But Poseys been able to do what heyward has offensively in 80 percent of the AB.
more bras per field goal?
Law's big reasoning
is that Posey’s rate of Outs:PA is higher than Heywards (“Posey has made 273 outs in 430 PA, Heyward 369 in 609.”)
Doesn’t this equate to saying, ‘Heyward gets on base better and hits into fewer double plays’?

plus it’s a Friday night so places are going to have the party crowd out and music playing. I was thinking of trying out MVP sports grill but that place looks kind of nice and I was hoping to be around some fans with some of my buds coming along. A place that blasts the volume is a must.

I'll leave you with this as I go to dinner
I don’t know what to say really.
Three minutes hours
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we’re finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.
Now I can’t do it for you.
I’m too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age 25 year old man could make.
I uh….
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That’s, that’s part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is footbal baseballl.
Because in either game
life or football baseball
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don’t quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that’s going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.
I’ll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.
Now I can’t make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.
That’s a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That’s football baseball, guys.
That’s all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?
i really like that scene
when he began i groaned, thinking it was another chance for a cliche’d coach speech/pacino rant, but i love his delivery.

OT: LOL 2010 Mariners
Jayson Stark has the ugly truth:
What the 2010 Mariners have accomplished, they’ve accomplished as a group. So let’s review their remarkable ability to avoid reaching home plate — and other spectacular feats: It took the Mariners 151 games to score 481 runs. That’s as many as the Red Sox scored before the All-Star break. The Mariners were at 507 runs with three games left in the season. So unless they average nearly eight runs a game this weekend, they’re going to become the first AL team to score fewer than 530 runs in a full, non-strike season since the invention of the DH in 1973 — and only the third to fail to reach 550. They’re also just two offensive meltdowns away from becoming the first AL team in the DH era to score three runs or fewer 100 times in one season. (They’re at 98.) And this juggernaut also has a Jerry Dybzinski-esque .235 team batting average and .298 on-base percentage, putting this outfit in position to obliterate the full-season DH-era AL records in those departments. And here’s the amazing part: The Mariners are doing all this even though one of their lineup spots is occupied by a fellow who leads the league in hits (the one, the only Ichiro). At least that helps explain how the guy who leads the American League in hits has somehow scored fewer runs (72) than the man who is last in the National League in hits (that .198-hitting Mark Reynolds, who has scored 79), among qualifiers for the batting title.

“Come spend your money here!”
“But the beautiful beaches and people are free.”
“But… but… baseball!”
“Butts and beaches. Free, brah.”
these are not meant to be excuses, but rather, challenges for marketers:
- the city is full of transplants who like other teams
- the weather is so fantastic that there are tons of other things to do that few cities can offer
- the weather, I believe, really does mellow the population. the fan base isn’t as fanatical as other cities
- many padres fans are new fans of baseball, and because they learn the game from ESPN highlights (often), they want to see lots of home runs and high scoring games, which we do not have
- the team does not have a long history of marketable moments, and the ones we do have are played to death. winning again would do wonders.
That park is killing their best shot at marketing the team, it seems.

i have no basis for the following opinion: the fence is debated every year, and I think they are waiting until they develop homegrown hitters before doing that. until then, they will focus on pitching and run prevention, to even the playing field, because they don’t have sluggers and won’t be affording FA’s anytime soon.
wasnt the park originally thought to be more of an even mix between hitters and pitchers park than it is now (prevailing winds to CF) but because of the new condo construction over the last few years, that killed the wind, thus rendering it a HR hell?
How many Marines hang themselves after being forced to watch Padre games?

holy shit, guys, I just realized something
The Giants should be playing the Braves in the first round, if they clinch. And they should be playing the Atlanta part of the series next weekend, if I’m correct.
Atlanta is about a 5 or 6 hour drive from here.
HOLY SHIT MAYBE I CAN GET TICKETS TO A GAME!

But can you get an It’s-It to lord over people at the game?
