Fake post-game thread: Man, wasn't that something?
by Grant Brisbee on Oct 19, 2010 4:03 PM PDT
Email
PrintMatt Cain was (awesome/just okay/pretty bad) today, which set the tone for the afternoon. Cole Hamels was (awesome/just okay/pretty bad), which was (to be expected/unexpected). We shouldn't be surprised that the team (didn't score runs for Matt Cain/didn't score runs for Matt Cain.)
This game doesn't mean that the Giants are (out of the the series/going to win the series), but it certainly (hurts/helps). I'll be thinking about this one for a while. You'll probably be thinking about this one for a while.
And I can't believe that the game was stopped because of the (raccoon on the field/cotton candy mishap/boat in McCovey Cove that transformed from a sailboat back into a robot back into a sailboat again). You'd think security would have thought of that one.
What a (fantastic/miserable) game!

I remember him saying something about a 5 game series during game 1 pregame. Then Karros said he thought the Phils would win in 6, and I remember wishing there was a camera on him so we could watch his facial expression while his brain tried to figure how a 5 game series could go six games.

Should we want Blanton or Halladay starting tomorrow?
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
Bob Howry's #1 (and only) fan!!!
The Merkin Valdez of McCovey Chronicles!!!!!!
Tough.
I’d like our chances against BLOLanton better, but maybe that short rest start will screw up Halladay just enough to make him less effective in both this start and a potential 7th game.
Personally I think we will see Blanton. What’s gonna be the difference between Blanton and Halladay? 1 run (1 or 2 runs from the Giants rather than 2 or 3?) It’s not a question of the Giants vs. Phillies pitcher, it’s a question on Phillies vs. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Remember all pitchers are Roy Halladay to the Giants.
I wouldn’t risk it over that if I were Manuel.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
I want Halladay
we already knocked him around on normal rest.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel confirmed that Joe Blanton will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Giants on Wednesday as scheduled.
The Phillies are now down 2-1 in the series, but Manuel will stick with Blanton against Madison Bumgarner rather than go with Roy Halladay on short rest. Blanton posted a 3.48 ERA after the All-Star break, but this will be his first start since September 29.

by AndYourBirdCanSing on Oct 19, 2010 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions
if the series was 3-1, then we’d see Halladay, but they only need to take 1 game here to take it back to Philly and Halladay on normal rest in game 5 gives them a chance to do that even if they lose game 4. Then they’ll have Oswalt in game 6 at their place and they would feel pretty good about that as well.

Agreed
After living on the East Coast for 22 years, I will state that there is an East Coast bias.
Maybe the Mid-West will complain, but they’re basically Canada.
Rooting for the Yankees is like cheering the tanks at Tianamen Square.
What east coast bias?
The Phillies are 2-time defending NL Champs. They won the most games in the NL this year. They won the WS 2 years ago.
Thing C
True. Doesn’t mean there isn’t an east coast bias in general, though.
You live part of your adult life in California and then part of it in the east and it’s more apparent than ever. Talk to people and you realize it’s as if no west coast team other than the Lakers even exists.
Even the Cowboys, Vikings, Packers, Cavs, Notre Dame and USC?

Yeah, USC too
Sometimes I forget college football exists.
Actually, with the start times of football games, the east coast bias is less prevalent in that sport. Not to mention the amount of time/attention dedicated to football at all hours and by all media. It’s the other sports that really suffer.
If there’s an east coast bias, it’s because there are WAY more people living on the east coast than in the other time zones, and ESPN and other networks put on the air what will generate the largest ratings.
Thing C
Just think: Ratings during Angels vs. Giants World Series… The country did not pay attention to that one

Because the idea that Philadelphia was clearly going to dominate a team with three world-class starters was hubristic. Baseball just isn’t that predictable. Case in point: the Giants could have won with just the one run today. When both of the pitchers are lights-out chance plays a huge role.
Except the Phillies have a clearly better offense.

Thanks for reiterating
Some people seem to think there’s no such thing as chance in baseball. There’s a HUGE amount.
Exactly
And when two teams are as evenly matched as the Giants and Phillies (I’d say the Phillies are 3-5 games better over a 162-game season) it takes an extraordinary amount of good luck for the Phillies and against the Giants just to make it a 5-game Phillie win.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.

among a bajillion others.
Jose Cruz drops a can of corn in the ninth inning to start a Marlin Rally that gets them a win which had the giants won would have put them in a worst case scenario of Jason Schmidt pitching the deciding game 5 at home.

Reminds me of poker, you can play flawlessly and get your ass handed to you. Over the long run though, the better players win.

I’m not sure why everyone’s jumping on cheno here. I agree – the Phillies are likely the better team. Outside of the number 4, starting pitching is a push. Middle relief and closer to the Giants, but Madson’s good in the pen. Definitely better offense. It’s closer than some think, but objectively I probably would have picked the Phillies in 6 or 7.

But the idea that the better team always wins in four or five is misguided. I mean, I know they have to predict something, but they should have known better.
Absolutely they should have known better. A lot of the media seems to have jumped on the idea of the Phillies becoming a historic team by winning three straight NL pennants. It was dumb of them because the teams are much closer than some think, and it’s a short series where the Giants have the right abilities to do well.

You can say the same thing about the Giants.
“Since the OPS+ does not include a full season of Posey, Huff, Burrell, Sanchez, Torres starting and the ERA doesn’t reflect how fucking good the Giants’ pitching has been down the stretch, those are flawed. I am so smart.”

Matt Cain was smelly today, which set the tone for the afternoon. Cole Hamels was poopy, which was yick. We shouldn’t be surprised that the team ate fur balls before the game.
This game doesn’t mean that the Giants are homely, but it certainly stings. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while. You’ll probably be thinking about this one for a while.
And I can’t believe that the game was stopped because of the cotton candy mishap that transformed from a sailboat back into a robot back into a raccoon again.. You’d think security would have thought of that one.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Outside AT&T Park this evening, Cain refused to answer questions about allegations that he draws power from the sun in a photosynthetic process. When pressed on the matter, Cain dodged reporters and got into a nearby car outfitted with ultraviolet lamps. Catcher Buster Posey was reportedly seen toting a watering can and hedge clippers as he left the dugout today, according to several witnesses.

what if Halladay goes G4, G5, G6 and G7?
Does the simulator takes into effect how short rest affects pitchers? Cause if it doesn’t, then you can extrapolate that and find it isn’t useful at all in these situations.

yeah if Halladay starts game 4, Blanton should go game 5, and all it does it take a Cole Hamels start away.
Why would they want to matchup Blanton against Lincecum in game 5 anyway? That seems retarded. Unless they have all 3 pitchers pitch on short rest, it just doesn’t make any sense.
It’s not a move you make down 1-2.

and then there's the fact that
pitching Halladay means the Giants score 1 or 2 rather than 2 or 3. It’s up to teh Phillies to score. If they could score 5 runs they would pretty much be guaranteed a victory. The pitching decision means very little for the Phillies IMO.

Giants Baseball... Torture?
I propose that we have it all wrong. We have been thinking backwards about this all year.
Giants Baseball… TORTURE!
Maybe the torture lies with our opponents.
Hammels? Six Innings, two hard hit balls… and I lose? Two benched players, and Cody Ross? A guy with a severed bicep, and Cody Ross? How did they score on me? How did it happen? Cody freekin Ross, misplayed infield hit, and an error. Out/out/K, Out/Out/Out, Out/K/K, Single/Sacrifice/K/W/CodyFreekinRoss/Misplayed IF hit/Out, Double/K/Out/FSanchez Single/K, K/K/Out. 6 innings, two hard hit balls, 3 runs, and I lose?
Ryan Howard is still staring at the outfield wall wondering how it moved 10 feet back on him.
Doc has to be thinking… how did I just lose to THAT team? Cody Ross? You have to be kidding me! Not one, but TWO home runs from the 8th place hitter? Fluke. Right? Fluke, it has to be a fluke right? Right?
Philly fans? We lost one at home? To these guys? A rookie catcher, and waiver wire table scraps? Everything we read said our hitters should crush them… Our pitchers should bury them. Right? Right?
Atlanta is still muttering to themselves. We lost to that? A team that hit .200?? They stole it!
The Padres are still face deep in their beers in the back of the bar. If we just coulda… one more hit… one more win… three more feet on a fly ball…
What must have been in Matt Latos mind to say what he did? I think he just verbalized what every team must be thinking this year.
Tortured. Every one of them. Every one of those one run games has to have left every team thinking they coulda/shoulda/woulda. Ask the Rockies. Ask the Dodgers. Think of the burn of a 1-0 Sanchez loss to the Padres. Feel it? Now think of how many times we did that to other teams this year.
Can a team that looked so good, so bad, so clueless, so amazing, so hopeless, so lucky, so unlikely make it to the World Series? Actually win it by playing this way?
I have officially changed my view of torture, and the prospect of winning it all. It can happen. This team, could play by the rules of Giants baseball and still win it. Somehow avoiding the big letdown, the crushing defeat. Because every win or loss is a hairs width there is no room for letdown, there is no material for the baseball gods to play with. They are just as confused and tortured as we are. Even the baseball gods are scratching their heads and might get caught looking the other way. If this season could happen, it could happen.
Giants Baseball… Torture.

Observation of Phillies Fan
I saw his head sinking down into his shoulders, looking at Matt Cain’s troll doll hair during the post game interview. He just sat there, staring blankly and moving his lips with no sound coming out. I knew what he was saying to himself— How? How did this happen? I told him, that this was Giant’s baseball. That this is how we win games, that this is how we have done it all season, it’s not fun, it’s not supposed to be. I told him that the Phillies still have more than a slim chance to take the series, but that it will be painful, the games will be merciless, every at bat will be a grind, every fly ball will fall short. And when they are down by only one run in the bottom of the ninth facing Wilson, they will feel hope, just like we do, and dreams will be crushed…

My first reaction of please let this happen.
But it’s also been pretty well ingrained in “sports common knowledge” that players who are really good at x are bad at coaching x.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
The way that Bonds has talked about hitting before makes me think he might be a bit different. I don’t many baseball players understand hitting (all of it, the swing, discipline, timing, etc.) like Barry.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
I hope so, too, and I know about the incredible amount of knowledge and work that Barry brought to the plate every appearance.
But there is still the concern that frustration with coached players’ lack of dedication, work ethic, adherence to coach’s suggestions, and the possibility of arrogance/condescension from the coach will all come into play.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
I’d think the first three would be kind of a thing with any coach, though. And as far as they go with Barry, you have guys taking hitting instruction from one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game of baseball. I think they’d listen pretty close.

Didn't realize this about Ross:
Obviously his postseason production is unexpected, but Ross hasn’t quite come out of nowhere. In five seasons as a regular he’s averaged 24 homers per 550 at-bats and his Isolated Power–which is slugging percentage minus batting average–of .203 during that span ranks right up there with some pretty big names like Vladimir Guerrero (.207), Brian McCann (.206), Troy Tulowitzki (.205), Torii Hunter (.202), Derrek Lee (.200), and Andre Ethier (.200).

Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
I'm just talking out of my ass right now
but I bet this is because he gets platooned quite abit and sits against right handers sometimes. That makes the percentage share of his at bats vs left handers better than most full time players.
In other words, where as player A faces a lefty 20 out of 100 at bats, Ross faces a lefty 35 out of 100 at bats. (not an actual stat, just trying to illustrate what I am rambling about).

How about a slice from an upcoming chapter of HRaWS?
“Show me.”
“Aaron, I’ve shown you a hundred times.”
“Maybe the trick is one hundred and one.”
Pat gritted his teeth, then relaxed. “Fine. One more time.” He got into a batting stance and settled himself in. Rowand slid in behind him and molded his body to Burrell’s. His burly arms jostled Pat’s as he gripped the bat just above Burrell’s hands.
“Aaron, what the fuck are you doing?”
Pat could feel Rowand’s voice rumbling through his chest. “Figured it might help if I really got into the stance with you. Y’know, shadowing you.”
“Well, knock it off,” Burrell responded. “It’s kinda creepy.”
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.

*Does this look like a championship team to you? Looks like old, tired garbage to me.
*I mean come on do all of our pitchers have to pitch shutouts every single game?
Where is the offense? Where is the heart? where is the grind it out at bats?
Today was a pathetic effort.
*Giants starters have out-pitched the Phillies starters, and their hitters have taken advantage of their few opportunities. Not much at all from most of the Phillies line-up at the plate.
By contrast, I’m sure SFGate comments are conspicuously well-reasoned and classy.

No, it’s your strawman argument that equates wanting a major network to be able to schedule their commercial breaks competantly with a complete rejection of capitalism that’s trolling.

All any television program is is filler to connect the commercials. That’s it. Especially when it isn’t journalism (although clearly it’s partly the same with journalism as well). There’s no higher integrity. The commercials are the first priority.

Well, yes and no: saying it’s “just” filler misses the point that the program is an enticement to get people to watch the commercials. It’s in the network’s interest to provide entertaining and well-produced programming to keep the viewers from, say, turning off their televisions and switching to the radio broadcast, which is what I myself did about two-thirds of the way through game (not because they missed pitches, but because Buck and McCarver are insufferable).
In any case, had you actually SAID anything like that, I wouldn’t have called you a troll. But you didn’t. Instead, you did what you do with seemingly the majority of your comments here: you posted a sarcastic one-liner with no apparent purpose other than to mock the person you’re replying to and generate a negative response (which I, being a dumbass who’s trying very hard to avoid writing a paper, provided you with). Which is, you know, trolling.
You’re not the only person who ever does this – lord knows I have – but it seems to be practically the only thing you ever DO here.

They’re one liners because I’m lazy. I honestly believe the points I make, and therefore when Is ee something I believe is wrong, I’m going to mention it (as anyone does when they think something is wrong). I honestly feel like it’s a business’s complete right to squeeze as much commercial money out of a broadcast as possible. I honestly feel like saying the media members are idiots for thinking the Phillies might dominate the series is wrong. I guarantee you it’s not trolling.

All things considered . . .
. . . including the exact wording of the Rule, a careful review would almost certainly have upheld the HR call, especially because an overturn requires “clear and convincing” counter-evidence. But to not even review it was superlatively horseshit. (And oh, the irony, when the very next batter’s “HR” requires a replay and overturn.)

But after we assured him that he wouldn’t get kicked out of the stadium, Jared told us that he didn’t touch the ball before it cleared the wall and he didn’t touch Nelson Cruz’s glove. “It was a home run,” he said.
Jared is just the douche who caught it and acted like a joke. the fans around him are the ones who were grabbing the RFers glove preventing the catch

That's fine.
But he never reached over the fence. He reached above the fence, at which point the fatass in the hoody reached over the fence to push his glove down.
This.
But apparently the ump’s ruling on whether or not the glove cleared the wall is non-reviewable.

there should be an “official review” of HRs, like football does with some plays. that way an ump can’t say “we dont want to review it”

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE
Nova and Frontline will air in their entirety after the gubernatorial debate, starting at 8:00 CDT.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
It’s going to be a good one for sure. From PBS’ website:
“Did Texas execute an innocent man? Several controversial death penalty cases are currently under examination in Texas and in other states, but it’s the 2004 execution of Cameron Todd Willingham — convicted for the arson deaths of his three young children — that’s now at the center of the national debate. With unique access to those closest to the case, FRONTLINE examines the Willingham conviction in light of new science that raises doubts about whether the fire at the center of the case was really arson at all.”
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
There was a fantastic article on that in the New Yorker a while back.

Well I don’t know, we’ve had some pretty rough experiences with Giants fans on Cal Train after games.
I’ve never had issues on BART, but that’s not even really the point – it’s not that they’re “rough.” It’s that they pour out of the ballpark and turn the entire Lakeview neighborhood (the real name of “Wrigleyville,” a name made up by real estate agents) and the Red Line into the world’s biggest open air frat house.
Plus, they sell all sorts of racist and homophobic bullshit in front of the park like this:

that definitely sucks!
And that’s crazy – like I said, I’ve never seen the like on BART. Or Muni, for that matter. Well, once after leaving the park a kid threw a firecracker on Muni Metro, but he didn’t even get on the train at the park or anything.

I dont understand how AL fans tolerate it. I mean seriously. The dh is horrible. it takes all the strategy out of the game. If the giants were ended I’m pretty sure I would become some random NL team fan rather than an A’s fan just cuz i dont like AL baseball

What if the pitcher was a very good hitter? You actually get penalized in this case instead of it being an advantage. To me, if you are going to have a DH rule you should be allowed to DH for any one position player.
Stupid DH rule.
There is also . . .
. . . the interest generated by the moves the manager needs to consider in the NL. Often, the weaker the pitchers as batters, the more interesting the game.

Everything indicated they were going to bring in Joba. Then they IBB to set up Molina for Joba. Then somehow Burnett stays in and LOLBENGIE
Ah crap now they are talking about how he hit that HR because of his world series experience. God dammit.
Good for Bengie
I never wished ill will for him. He is very thin-skinned which is surprising for a professional athlete of his tenure, but he was a good Giant. He mostly irked me for his desire to start more than he should have for his weight and age. He’s getting more rest with Texas and the playoff days off. I believe that is why he is doing better. I always thought he’s always been a good hitter when he was well rested.

Among other things, two different times, two different pitchers found themselves struggling and had decent success with the backup catcher in the lineup. In BOTH situations, Molina went out of his way to grouse and complain about “there’s no designated catcher here”.
Others will have other stories, but those are the ones that chafed me. And the being a crappy catcher. But that’s Texas’ problem now, and he was (lol) an upgrade for them.
