But man, Torres and Sanchez are just looking awful right now.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Yay, good win!

If we are going to win this thing, Torres and Sanchez need to get going. Torres needs to stop swinging the 37 ounce lodgepole and become a pecker.
Hell, I know the theme is torture, but I wouldn’t complain having a 2 run lead going into the 9th instead of a 1 run lead. That is twice in the last 5 games Torres has failed to make contact with a runner at 3rd and less than 2 outs. Hasn’t bit us in the ass yet, but it will eventually.

Torres hit a couple of balls hard, but they found gloves. On the other hand, his 9th-inning AB was awful. Bases loaded, Lidge having trouble finding the strike zone, and he swings at the first two pitches. Know the situation, Andres!
that was a very poor showing from him. his avg dropped from .290 to .260 in 2 weeks, he went from 2nd in XBHs to 10th in 2 weeks.
the secret seems to be out- throw him breaking stuff and he can’t hit. he also seems to lack the discipline in big spots

This is how it works.
In short samples, such as post-season, anything can happen, and much does. Mark Lemke can look like a hero and Barry Bonds like a bozo. The biggest mistake anyone can make here is to assume that these performances say something about a man’s ability other than or beyond what his career has said. X, Y, Z may “look awful”, and A, B, C “look great”, but A through Z, they’re all who they are and nothing different.

i dont think the OP was saying they are failing to produce because of playoff-related issues, more, just in general-ness of the last month. Torres has been needing to kick it into gear for awhile now. Sanchez just started slumping when the playoffs began (i think).
personally, i dont think it’s playoff related for Freddy, but Torres could be cracking under the pressure (he’s slapping at balls instead of follow-thru swings, perhaps pressure causing him to revert to old ways). it’s not a lack of experience, but pressure does play it’s part on some. to say a player doesn’t feel pressure is being naive
by giant4life83 on Oct 17, 2010 1:24 AM PDT up reply actions
Let us not forget . . .
. . . that Torres’ problems began when he started feeling the effects of the infection that would later require an appendectomy, and that he is still in the process of trying to regain his timing. Few major-league players can take nearly two weeks off then step right back in as if nothing had happened. Players have a saying: “A day off and you notice it; two days off and your teammates notice it; three days off and the fans notice it.” Eleven days? Right now, we just don’t have the Andres Torrres we had last year and most of this year; we just have to hope that as much of him as we do have is enough.

Two or three weeks, apparently.
Baggerly reported that that was what Torres himself said. That would put the onset somewhere in late August. It’s a pretty close correlation.
I see his OPS for August was almost exactly the same as that for his season (.824 vs .823 season), but his September was rather dreadful (.517). But, if I am reading baseball-reference.com aright, his last two weeks were again quite good (.836).
I’m not in a hurry to bench him. A man arguably the greatest hitter of all time, and certainly of our times, had four post-seasons in which he was, um, not good. I’d still play him today were it possible, so I’d also stay with Torres.

Had you told me a few years ago Wilson would hold a one-run lead in an NLCS game, I would not have believed it. I too wish he wouldn’t fill so many bases while closing out games, but he’s the guy with the shoepolish beard and the fastball, so I’ll just hope he can do it 3 more times.

Seems to be his strategy at this point: try to get the calls by painting the corners, and if that doesn’t work, challenge with the hard stuff. When he doesn’t hit the outside corner, we get heart-attack innings.

I ain't having it. In fact I'm loving watching Davey Lopes' face after every out as he watched from the first base coaches box. Now if we could get a 5 run lead and have Dirty make a pickoff throw wildly to first base and hit Lopes in the side of the head
THAT would make this a dream season.

Timmy: Sometimes you don’t sound like you’re kidding, you know, there’s a lotta people around and some of them still think I’m a fluke ‘cause I’m tiny and I throw funny.
Roy: I’m only kidding with you, we’re having a party, I just came to Philly and I haven’t seen you in a long time and I’m breaking your balls, and you’re getting fucking fresh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. Look I’m rich now, let me buy you a drink or four thousand.

But I liked the move to keep Timmy in – it’s the weakest part of their lineup (9-1-2), and even a weak Tim is better than RamRam or another 7th inning guy.
Good point
One that I hadn’t considered at the time.

I was worried too
but LOL “weak Tim” looked better that inning than in the rest of the game!

I admit, I thought it was a bad call at the time, esp with 2 outs. I didn’t see a 3-1 lead (before Uribes hit, which was also improbable at the time) lasting long in that tiny bandbox. I just saw it as losing one of our best hitters in the 6th for a run we might not get.
Happy to be proved wrong on that one. One of these days, subbing for Pat in the 6th WILL backfire, though I think that already happened in the ATL series.

Not yet, anyhow.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
This was a lot less bad than the Kaz Matsui game or Game 5 of the 2002 NLDS or a thousand other games. I’m definitely getting desensitized.
Fun fact: "Mota" is Bengali for "fat".
The fact that it was in Philly and against Halladay made it seem less torturous.
It’s just the feeling of knowing that a Phillies loss hurts more than a Giants loss, and then being in the lead most of the game seemed to take some of that away. Still early in the series.

Hey Halladay
Don’t pitch to rodeo clowns, fucker
The ump squeezed both pitchers a ton today
My bet is he just wanted to be ornery. “You guys think this going to be a historic pitching matchup? I’ll see about that!” Shaves six inches off the corners and ignores the low strike
Good win
h8 this guy
And although I don’t even think it necessarily favored one team strongly, will be nice to get Cousins and his coin-flip strike zone out of there
He probably did
But Raul had to catch that ball and didn’t so I’m not dwelling on that
He squeezed Lincecum on that same side. His left side of the plate was a coin flip all night
Gonna be intense tomorrow night. Sanchez scares Phils fans but I think Werth could give him trouble and Shane/Jim should have better swings righty

Sanchy used to lose it when a call didn’t go his way. Bad call? expect the next 3 batters to be walked while Whiteside sits behind the plate and doesn’t go calm him down.
I think Posey calming Sanchy down when a call doesn’t go his way is a big part of Sanchys maturation. That, and he calls pitches Sanchy didn’t used to throw in certain counts- bolstering his confidence in “any pitch, any time”

look at Werths’ stats, then look at his HR tonight. You think he’s gonna close anywhere close to his stats at AT&T? His stats look super-inflated by the bandbox
by giant4life83 on Oct 16, 2010 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions
I looked at his career stats
Career .832 OPS on the road.
But he is career .735 OPS at AT&T.

I think it was pretty easy for Bochy tonight. He always pulls Burrell in that situation, and the lefties leading off the eighth with Timmy’s high pitch count made the move to Lopez automatic. He could have hit for Timmy in the seventh and didn’t, I’ll give him credit for that one.
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
it could have turned out a whole lot worse tonight. pulls pat, uribe doesn’t get the hit, timmy gives up the HR, games tied, maybe worse.
he seems to know when to pull his pitchers lately too- no one gets left in too long

Now that a) Posey has proven he isn’t going to hump the umpire’s leg when he goes out to catch, and b) there aren’t a lot of weird things he can do with the lineup, I completely agree. He doesn’t bunt needlessly, and he manages a pitching staff well. No Guillen, no Molina, no Winn, Rowand too terrible for anyone to start, and Bochy’s quite good.

With GM’s, you could always bring in outsiders to shake things up (and it does seem that many of the great GM’s are outsiders – from Sandy Alderson to Epstein and Friedman). But when it comes to managers, they are picked from such a limited talented pool, and all have such similar backgrounds, that you can’t really expect any of them to break away from the conventional wisdom trap.
It’s infuriating, but there’s not that much to do about it.
I try not to get too angry about it
but 80% of all baseball discussion is hindsight criticism of a manager’s moves.
Mark DeRosa, still existing.
Well . . .
. . . there was Davey Johnson. (Whose degree, incidentally, is in mathematics.)
As time goes by—which is basically its job description—we will see more and more young managers attuned to the analytic truths of the game.

SSS. Maybe he suddenly fell off a cliff after the appendectomy and he’ll never come back, but I see this more as good pitching and bad luck.
bad luck would imply that he actually puts the ball in play. he’s striking out like crazy- his only good contact tonight came first-pitch swinging first AB of the game.

Sure, hell Rowand leads the league in not being Guillen.
But if Rowand came through with a timely hit, we would be pleasantly shocked.
If Torres came through with a timely hit, we would be, “Oh, cool – s’bout time.”
Therein lies the reason you start Torres.

No. But maybe the Giants can pull a page out of the Phillies book and move him down in the order.
That is what Philly did to Rollins. Torres can still hit mistake pitches. The problem is in the post season, shitty pitchers rarely see the mound and Torres is going to see more quality pitches. Look at Uribe. If the pitcher makes his pitch, Uribe will strike out. He hit a mistake by Halladay after he was pissed from the previous no strike call to Burrell. Ended up leading to another run. The saying is good pitching gets out good hitting….well, good hitting looks mediocre this time of year because the Wellemeyers and Zitos are not leaving the dugout.

the ump didn’t cost them the game, and if they had won he wouldn’t have cost us the game. He was bad, but Halladay didn’t have to groove the next pitch to Burrell, and then give up an RBI hit to slumping Uribe. I would think they would blame Ibanez more than the ump.

Second, this game will be won with the dingerball. I say we hit two in the game. The margin is within two runs, and we come out on top.

nice job!
i kept my prediction of a 13-5 giants win (which came from a dream of me watching the game) to myself. Maybe that score will show up later in the postseason.

Some quick calculations
The Giants are now:
NLDS: 8-12
NLCS: 12-6 NLCS
World Series: 3-8
Overall: 23-26
Four wins from having a winning postseason record for the first time in my life since they won the 1989 NLCS!

So
Two games today. One, a no-drama rout. The other a tense, edge-of-your-seat nail-biter with the two best pitchers in the game going head to head, several dramatic home runs, and it comes down to the final out. Which game do you give lead coverage to? Oh, right: you’re ESPN. FAIL.

Mets fan (who lives in Philadelphia) here. I’ve been rooting for you guys since the Mets were out of contention (which is pretty much since after the All-Star break). I feel like the Giants are kind of like family because of the team’s historic NY roots. Plus, how can you not love Juan Marichal, Mays, McCovey, Jim Ray Hart, Gaylord, Dick Deitz, Jack Hiatt … and the list goes on.
You guys made Halladay look like a punk today. I can’t wait to bust my Phillies buddies collective balls. The Cody Ross and Burrell moves were great for you. Ross is so clutch. He always killed us when he was with Marlins.
Jonathan Sanchez will pitch a gem tomorrow. The Phillies have trouble with left-handers and Sanchez has been pitching great.

So, I went out to dinner with my folks who were visiting me at school. By the time we got back, it was 11pm, the game was probably over (East Coast), and I was really bummed out. Turns out, my roommate had recorded the game for me, and I was able to watch the whole glorious thing commercial-free. Totally worth staying up late for.
