Post-game thread: Giants walk away with Game Two

PrintWell, that went well. When I think of the 2010 Giants, I think of patience, two-out hits, Edgar Renteria bombs, and a whole lot of runs. I'm glad to see they're staying true to form in the postseason.

That is awesome. almost as awesome as the 8th inning was.

Gotta love how the national media has prefaced the NLCS and WS with “The Giants have good pitching”. Then the Giants pitchers go out and deal, but they didn’t actually pitch well. No, the Phillies and Rangers just didn’t hit for some odd reason. Funny how they always throw out the cliche’ “Good pitching always beats good hitting” but proceed to generally always pick the good hitting to win the series. With the way we are playing as a team right now, and just the pitching we have had from day one..hard to picture losing 4 of the next 5.

against the padres that saturday morning game, the last game he played this season i think he did walk a batter with the bases loaded. not sure it feels like it was soooo long ago lol

He was up with bases loaded with 1 out and hit into a dp. I hate it when pitchers do that. I dont remember exactly how he pitched, short of god aweful.

The only bad thing about this game
..is that the Rangers’ epic bullpen meltdown is gonna distract attention from Matt Cain being MATT. MOTHERFUCKING. CAIN.
Nah, Matt’s scoreless streak will give him plenty of attention in the media, especially the day after Cliff Lee got dethroned.

Matt Cain has been my favorite Giant since they called him up in 2005. I went to his first career start (after noticing him running around in the outfield during BP before a game against the Mets and recognizing him… this was before they had phones with internet and the Extra Baggs blog!) I used to stay up late on the East Coast and in London during college to listen to his starts and they usually ended up kind of disappointing because, well, Matt Cain.
And now he’s just put the Giants up 2-0 in the World Fucking Series with 7 2/3 shutout fucking innings and I never want to hear another asshole cite his xFIP ever again. He’s Matt Fucking Cain and he broke xFIP.

I missed most of the eighth inning
I watched the first half of the game at work, actually getting tiny bits of work done. Then I had to hit Trader Joe’s on the way home. I was in and out of there in just a few minutes, and not long after I had left work I was exiting 87 and close to home.
A woman flagged me down, her car stalled on Skyport in some significant traffic. I asked her if she needed help, and she did, so I parked and pushed her 3500 pound Taurus to safety in some retail parking on Technology. She had jumper cables, so I pulled my Civic nose to nose with her car, and we were able to get it started. I waited to make sure she didn’t stall again, and she drove off successfully.
I hopped back in my car, sure I’d missed the end of the game, and cranked up the stereo. It was playing “Don’t Stop Believing.” I made it home in time for Rowand’s triple.

We didn’t exactly chase Wilson, but we were holding him to about 7 innings (~15 pitches per inning the whole way), which is average, but better than we normally do.
And even though we only got 8 hits (hahahahaha, only), there were at least 3 line drives that found gloves, so we were seeing the ball decently well considering how effective that back foot slider was against us.

in all the fond times we spent
watching Jeffrey Hammonds and Pierzynski, it became clear that a bad team has a different part break down every day or week. One day the starter melts down in the 3rd, one day someone throws a ball in the stands, one day someone grounds into 4 double plays.
This team somehow is the opposite: someone randomly does exactly what is necessary to win the game. If they can do it two more times, well, I don’t know what to say about that. But it gets more crazily fun every time I read one of these threads.

WHAT IS THE DAMNED DEAL
with all the random details about Texas players? “CJ Wilson wants to be a race car driver”. “He hung around with Bud Black growing up”. Or all that stuff about his clean living club (which I’m not criticizing per se). Yesterday it was Cliff Lee likes to hunt deer in the offseason.
Or the classic, as the last out of the game headed for Nate’s mitt: “Jeff Francoeur wanted me to say something tonight…” HEY HIS SUM EFFORT SO FAR HAS BEEN A FLY BALL WHO CARES.
Did they say where Matt Cain lives? Or what he does for fun? Or mention his wife? Or where he went to college (yes, I know)? Or anything? A couple weeks ago, if not now, he could go to the Whole Foods on 24th street and buy bread without attracting more than one or two comments. What does he do in the offseason? I can guess, I think he trains to get ready to throw 20+ scoreless innings in October.
Two games in a row here’s what we’ve learned about Rent: he’s from Colombia. He played in other world series. That’s pretty much exactly what they said last game, except idiot McCarver added “soccer is really popular in Colombia”. As I heard all that crap about Wilson and Bud Black having picnics on the beach, I wondered: why don’t you say something about where Uribe grew up? Or Huff and Burrell and Rowand’s connections?
If they were playing the Yankees or Red Nex, or even the Phillies I would get it, but now it’s just tired. I get why Jeter or Utley or Halladay get the pieces made about them. I don’t get all the hoovering of the Rangers. They’re a fine ballclub, and I actually am interested in hearing about them, but when you are talking about fucking Francoeur’s beard even as the crowd roars for the Giants pulling within 2 games of history, it’s too much. Say something about the Giants that you didn’t read off the press sheet you read 5 minutes before air.

hGH has zero effect on ability to play baseball. That is ten times solider than even the clear evidence on the uselessness of steroids.

Possibly.
The medical literature is less than definitive. It appears that hGH may accelerate healing in certain types of injuries, such as bone fractures; it may have effects in other instances. Whether that has any meaningful effect for ball players probably depends on how often they are on, or close to, the DL. (Of course, if we find that treating injuries with effective medication is “cheating”, we need to also ban everything from surgery to aspirin, but that’s a discussion for another time and place.)
But it is rock-solid sure that hGH does not augment abilities in any way, for ball players or for anyone.

I only ask because I think it is worth suggesting that regardless of whether or not the literature supports it, there is the perception that steroids/HGH can help recover from injuries more quickly, and Lord knows that Guillen was plagued with injuries towards the end of the season. When you’re 36 years old, playing for a job, on the verge of breaking down entirely and a former user, yeah you’re going to make the call.

To jump on board with this, I think Travis and Nate have also been real professionals about becoming bench players more or less exclusively. I know they didn’t have as far to fall as Rowand and Zito, but they’ve both been great this year and I think deserve a lot of credit for their attitudes and contributions to this team’s success.

Weird how Rowand is on the verge of ring number 3, for team number 3.
The good phite had a blog post right before the NLCS of how he roams from team to team, crashing into walls, breaking his face, and teaching teams how to win.
I like him a lot, he can hit pretty good when he is on. I just wish he would lay off that low and outside slider.

Although
I mean, it is fair to say they were going to be outlucked through 7ish. Wasn’t Kinsler’s double like an inch away from being a HR?
And he did say they were completely outplayed and outmanaged from the 7th on.

Lincecum called him a square when he asked about his hair a year ago
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
That it was a close game for 7 innings and then the Giants completely outplayed the Rangers over the final two.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Did I fall into the chasm?
Doesn’t seem douchey to me
It’s not, but he did say that the Rangers were kind of unlucky for the first 7 innings (and they were, Kinsler’s double was very close to being a HR.)

Either way I’m pretty sure the Giants were going to win. Neftali couldn’t have made a huge difference.
My only problem with it
Is he wrote a whole recap and analysis of that game and didn’t mention Cain once. That’s trying really hard to not give credit.

Well, the other picture got a couple of flags too.
I thought this joke was in very poor taste. And though I find the Antoine Dodson video amusing, I’m not sure I love the sign either (since I do not think we are meant to be rooting for the rapist in the Dodson video, in fact, I believe he is the villain and yet that sign is painting the Giants as the rapists.)

no baseball player is a “regular joe”. The major league minimum salary is a million dollars a year for chrissakes.
pretty sure its not that much
but i hear ya

Yeah. Romo’s the only member of the team I’ve talked to (this was in 2007), and he was really great. Plus he’s good at pitching.
Fun fact: "Mota" is Bengali for "fat".
Reports on his manner (and on Yeah Joey’s) always seemed to be extremely positive, back to when both were completely unknown A-ball scrubs.
I’m still pretty impressed that he felt like coming over to talk to a 12-year-old instead of just chilling in the bullpen.

I have no voice left at all. I spent the game outside the yard with a bunch of absolutely insane people who are crazy. There was a lot of communal fun involving fun, though!!!! haha :)
Wow.
ps. Juan Uribe, you are and will forever be my favorite baseball player of all time!
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

You are an awesome fan
I wish my girlfriend got fired up over the giants like I do :(.

Have you guys already seen this?
Jose Guillen has been linked to a federal investigation involving shipments of human growth hormone sent to Guillen’s wife, reports Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times. Guillen’s involvement was brought to the attention of Major League Baseball before the playoffs began, and after the commissioner’s office conducted an investigation of its own into the matter, it was suggested to the Giants that Guillen be left off of San Francisco’s postseason roster. His absence obviously hasn’t hurt the club thus far; in fact, as Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle points out in a tweet, Guillen “might’ve played over [Cody] Ross.”

He’s been pulling all the right strings lately. Before the postseason started, he knew he’d be unable to control himself if Guillen was on the roster, so he set up an elaborate frame job so that he wouldn’t be able to use him in the playoffs.

I don't understand something.
Bochy just lied to the press in the post-game question-and-answer session. When asked about Guillen, he said flat out that he didn’t know anything about it. Yet, MLB directed the Giants to leave Guillen off the post-season roster. Bochy is saying he wasn’t aware of that, so did Sabean just go up to him and say, “Boch, Guillen’s not going to post-season and I can’t tell you why”?
I’m not buying that for a minute. Bochy was playing Guillen right up to the end of the season; there’s no way he’d leave the guy out unless he’d been instructed to. Jose’s a veteran, “one of our guys”, so why lie to the press (and to the fans and, for all I know, to the other players on the team)? Why not just say, “I’d like to stick to the game situation here. Any questions about tonight’s game?” and leave it alone?
by mrs. owlcroft on Oct 29, 2010 1:02 AM PDT up reply actions
is it confirmed
that MLB directed them to leave him off the roster? I heard Papa say that but he says a lot of stuff.
I dunno
there’s a difference between a letter from lawyers on MLB letterhead and someone from HQ (or the Feds, for that matter) calling Revetria or someone higher up and saying “you didn’t hear this from me, but…”
And it’s possible that didn’t get communicated down the chain, although I think it’s more likely he was just answering questions that were really for Brain and Bowtie. Which he shouldn’t do, or have to.

My favorite comment from LSB tonight
I hate to say this but maybe
Cliff Lee jinxed this thing. After his double last night he refused to do the claw, the team went to shit shortly after. It was at that point they realized he does not give a shit about this team and will not be here next year. It like the scene from Braveheart where Mel Gibson removes the knights helmet to find he has been betrayed by one of his own, and then slumps to the ground with the enemy closing in. The look on his face reminds me of the way this team has played since that moment.

Let me put it this way. Are all Rangers fans fantastic, positive, courteous people? Are none of them obnoxious bandwagoners who only turned out because the team is winning for a change?
They live in every ballpark; it’s just the populations that vary. As far as most ballparks go, we are not bad. If you come into our park and don’t try to rub people’s noses in it, it’s generally not an issue.

And while the glory days of the Candlestick drunks are gone (with their amazing heckling but.. tenuous grasp on reality), Mays Field features its small but annoying share of jerks.
I encountered this same population when I drove through Texas. How odd that they have banned them in Arlington alone.
You’d have to walk to the ends of the earth to avoid running into douchebags. Even in SF, there are a few.
That said, I’ve never seen opposing team’s fans (aside from the Dodgers) treated poorly. There’s some verbal jousting at times, but it’s pretty tame.

This isn’t going to end well. So i’m just gonna say Go Giants. I respect your team, but some of your (and some of our) fans are classless.

If you’re referring to wcw’s post, I don’t believe he called anyone a “dumb hick”; rather he said that he has found that accusations of classlessness come most often from fans of teams from the Southern part of the United States. It would seem to be a bit of a reach to get “dumb hick” out of that.
If I may make a suggestion – you seem a bit “mad” and understandably so. I can’t imagine that this is really the best place for you to spend your early morning in your current state. The cathartic anger at Lone Star Ball might be more suitable. Because, really, all you’re going to do here is continue to make a fool of yourself and though you can throw around accusations of classlessness and you can get bent out of shape over perceived slights, I can promise you that there is about a 0% chance that you are going to dampen anyone’s mood here but your own.

Just a harmless jab.
The guy threw up a pic of some kids in cowboy hats playing fiddles and tried to guess which one was me so I returned fire. Problem is mine is the only one people see now because his got deleted.
And I’m not mad, nor am I trying to bring anybody down. All I was originally doing was just responding to people making fun of Texas stereotypes and saying we have a stupid fan celebration when you guys really have no room to talk about such things.
As far as me bringing up the way San Francisco fans have been acting, I only did that when somebody asked if I wanted you guys to be assholes like we are over at LSB and I just said that’s fine because you’ve already been doing it all series anyway.

Texas and Georgia were in the old Confederacy, Pennsylvania wasn’t. Rangers and Braves fans have been noted accusing Giants fans of lacking class, Phillies fans haven’t.
Substantiate your “reports” with a fanpost either here on on Lone Star Ball. Offer them up for examination by us and by noninterested third parties. Then you can offer it up as evidence.
Until then, you are not offering a credible witness.

By most accounts I’ve heard from Rangers fans that went to SF there are some pretty classless people out there.
That’s called confirmation bias. They went looking for juicy tidbits about the"enemy" and found them. Funny how being left alone by tens of thousands of fans didn’t seem worth talking about, but the one douchebag did.

Sanchez is not so much a pitch-to-contact guy. If he locates, he will do fine. If he does not locate, there will be lots of walks, possibly with not that many runs. And you can bet that if Sanchez struggles again, Mota will by in by the 4th.

I don’t think that Texas is as tough an environment as Philly, but they should be pretty pumped up for their first world series game ever, so the place should be rocking. After what we just did to them, hopefully, Dirty will be on his game. I feel good about him, but not great. Also, since the weather will be warmer, that may help him.

9/30 Angels, Scott Kazmir, 5.1 IP, 2 ER, Rangers won

I really don’t give a shit about Jose Guillen. The guy didn’t do anything helpful for our team during the season and isn’t on our playoff roster. He’s a turd player, and Sabes should get shit for trading for him.

Exactly, and if Sabean actually wanted Guillen on the roster but left him off because the Feds wanted him left off, then Sabean is an idiot.

What scares me is
I really think the giants planned to have guillen be on the roster and the starting right fielder because of his “power” and baseball card. What is also scary is if the giants were not told to leave him off the roster is the fact that cody ross probably would have not been on the roster.

My favorite comment thus far
Cain was not dominant.
How the hell many grooved fastballs did we pop the fuck up tonight? Cain was solid, but as the Rangers have proved time and time again, nobody can have a team slump like they can—and the way they failed tonight was textbook for this team when it’s in a funk.
How did Atlanta and Philly fans end up in LSB?
Man, it’s crazy how teams just seem to go into slumps when they face Giants pitching!

This was a great win, but
I don’t want to get my hopes up too much. Texas is really good at home and will be eager to get back on the winning track in front of their crowd. Sanchez is capable of a meltdown and Mad Bum didn’t go 5 IP last time out and game 4 will be against another potent lineup. We could just as easily be looking at a 2-2 series and Texas will have Cliff Lee on the mound and going against Lincecum that’s a 50/50 proposition.
That said, it’s good to be a Giants fan right now and being up 2-0 is WAY better than being down 0-2.

Come on...
Giants are up 2-0 in the WS and you guys are still looking ways to knock Sabean and Bochy?
I was at the game
That was surreal. I thought we were calmer (we were the guys screaming in the 140 Bleachers near the front), but holy shit it was amazing -I could not believe that 8th inning.
PS – Nate’s play of Traenor was frigging amazing – it gets lost in the 7 runs in the 8th, but holy shit that was amazing.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Was that the fly ball into the alley? Having the lead in the late innings pays off again.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Hat Tip to Zeets
Bochy and GM Brian Sabean have lauded the way Zito handled being off the roster. The left-hander acknowledged it was tougher this time.
“Well, yeah, of course,” he said. "I want to contribute and be on the front lines with these guys. But I’ll try to keep working, and whatever my role is, I have to do that with integrity. Right now my role is to be an insurance policy, so if someone goes down, I have to step in.

It's usually hard to feel bad for someone who's up there getting paid a king's ransom to live out his dream.
But I honestly feel sorry for the guy. He seems like a genuinely good person and he’s willing to put the team before himself. I admire both him and Rowand for not once complaining about being benched or left off the playoff roster. They were still there rooting on the team, and coming up to do something when it was needed. They’re good role models for child athletes. Maybe not to mold their games after, but their attitudes around the game are incredible.
Thing is, he’s not living out his dream right now. His dream has always been to pitch in the World Series.

And the sad thing is, he can practically taste it. It’s one thing to live out a dream of playing the sport you love on the highest level. It’s another thing to be on a team that’s in the championships…and you’re not even on the roster. I just feel sorry for him. Like during the celebration after we clinched the NL West…my mom pointed out that Zeets didn’t have anyone to celebrate with. When everyone was hugging each other, high-fiving each other, making an epic mosh pit with wilson and posey in the middle…. Zito tried to high-five someone..ANYONE…and there was no one. He’s a good guy, and in hindsight, I wish he pitched the ninth inning of tonight’s game. Just so that he could experience it for being the classy player he’s been/
that guy has nothing to be ashamed of
he threw 199 innings for us this year and we wouldn’t be here if not for him.

Not perhaps his best ever, but a good ending.
I was reminded of my favorite Matt Cain answer of the postseason. It was on Wednesday, and the talk was about nerves, and the question was this: “How do you sleep the night before a start in the World Series?”Link.
And Matt Cain’s answer was this: “Close your eyes.”
I really liked it.
For one thing, unlike Neyer’s piece, it mentioned Matt Cain. Also, it was about Matt Cain. Also, Joe Posnanski.

Great article
Seriously, entire pixel forests have been felled over the past few weeks to write about Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. And they’re both great pitchers. But the Giants have beaten both of them, and scored quite a few runs doing it.
Meanwhile, no one, no one, has scored an earned run off of Matt Cain this postseason. That deserves a nice article or two.

Ian kinsler crushed a home run to straight away center on a 0-2 pitch and then I slammed my head into a wall and it turned out to be a double.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
Is this for real?
These past two games have been so unlike the Giants that I’m actually kind of scared that it’s either a ruse or there is unspeakable danger ahead.

Because 2 guys in front of me were calling at him. He had underthrown it a couple times, but they kept yelling. He kind of laughed and put his head down, backed up and hucked it. I just sat there, but it went over the gloves of these two guys, and I just put my right hand out and snagged it. Thought about giving it to them, since they were the ones hollering at Sergio, but then I realized that in 27 years, I had not so much as come within 5 feet of a foul ball or BP ball. So I kept it.

is this the World Series?
semi-bandwagoner here. I’m a recent transplant from Ohio & my first loyalties are to the Indians, but I had Giants tickets that turned out to be the weekend Buster Posey got recalled from Fresno to start at 1B, saw a hell of a game, and been following along since.
I laughed my ass off through last night’s game but tonight’s eighth inning as a follow-up was maybe not 100% a fun win for me although I got no doubt it was cathartic for long-time Giants fans. as mindblowing and as unprecedented as it would be for this come-from-nowhere mobile slaughterhouse to mow through game 4, I’d sort of like to be forced to see just a (very) little bit more torture before the next two wins.
that two-out, two-on, 3-2 moment with Salvador Dalí on the mound in NLCS game 6 was kind of exquisite. I wouldn’t mind seeing us have to claw our way to victory in game 6 again. because I mean, I want to see the Giants win a real World fuckin’ Series. and bonus if it’s at home, where it ought to happen.

I’m from the northeast corner of the state on the OH-PA border. so I got both Indians torture and Pirates misery beaten into me. I’ve been well-trained for the Giants’ specialist brand of baseball.

Yeeeeeah. I went to college near Cleveland, so I got to see first hand just how hard that part of the state was leaning on LeBron. ’Tis a dreary corner of the sports world.

Inspirational EdGAR
From the NY Times game story:
Limited by groin, hamstring and biceps injuries, Renteria had three separate stays on the disabled list, lost his job at shortstop to Juan Uribe and gave a stirring speech in a team meeting in Chicago in September. As Mark DeRosa, the injured utility player, remembers it, Renteria asked his teammates to get him back to the postseason for one more chance at a ring. He made the last out in the 2004 World Series, when the Cardinals lost to Boston, and in 1997, his single in Game 7 lifted Florida to the title.
"He kept telling us that we needed him, and he wasn’t lying," the Giants’ hitting coach, Hensley Meulens, said.

The first 2 Giants hitters in the bottom of the 8th inning struck out. The Giants scored 7 runs in the inning.
The Giants won game 2 of the World Series.
