Post-Game Thread: Giants take game, series

PrintWho had April 14th for the Huff inside-the-parker/Whiteside three-run-homer pool? Collect your winnings....
Number of games with 8+ IP from Jonathan Sanchez:
2009: 1
2010: 1
For as long as Sanchez has been with the team, it feels like he's some 22-year-old just a season removed from pitching for Old Dominion, or something. Even when he was pitching well and flashing his potential, he wasn't going deep into games. He'd hit 100 pitches around the fourth inning, usually with as many walks as strikeouts. Some day, we'd all think, even though the dude's already 27.
It's only the Pirates, of course, but that's a hollow disclaimer. All bow to the second-best game of his career. The fastball was often well-placed, and the slider was nasty.
I'll just leave this right here:

What a terrifying statistic:
Among leadoff hitters, Aaron Rowand has more hits than anybody in baseball.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
Andres Torres: perfectly cromulent.
Then again,
he also has no walks. Zero.

If they had started 6-2 instead, their record would have been 92-70.

My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.

Actually, I need to update this
They’re 7-2 now, as opposed to 2-7 last year.
So they would have been 93-69.

Hypotheticals
Well, they were “really” about an 84-win team last year based on their offensive and defensive stats. So if they’d started 7-2, that’d be about 2 wins better than their “true” win percentage. So if they’d then played .519 (their true talent) ball the remaining 153 games, they would have won 86.
Of course, most of us think this year’s team is a win or two better than last year’s, so….
160-2

First of all, he could have just been looking for some Misty/Brock pics. In which case, there’s nothing wrong. Second of all, I’m pretty sure early adolescent males can get hot watching anything put its penis into anything else. We grow out of it. Mostly.

But dismissing the experience off as nothing more than a children’s game is the same to me as not watching an animated movie because they aren’t for adults.

I hate having to make this point all the time, but Pokemon is NOT a children’s game. It really isn’t (though it is easily accessible for children). If you get into the competitive battling aspect of it, it gets ridiculously complicated. Why? Because there are 493 Pokemon, each with six stats. For each stat, there is a base stat (determined by the species), an IV (based on the individual Pokemon, unchangeable, and assigned at birth/capture/reception), and an EV (based on which Pokemon that Pokemon fought; you get 255 EVs max in a stat, and 510 total across all six stats, and four EVs = 1 point boost in that stat).
There are also hundreds of moves, each of which is physical, special, or status and has a type. Each Pokemon can learn about 15 moves. Each Pokemon has 1-2 types, which can add power to its moves if the types match. There is a rock-paper-scissors aspect in that Water does extra damage to Fire, Fire does extra damage to Grass, etc. There are 16 types. Each Pokemon has a nature, depending on its species, which can influence anything from the power of its moves to their effect to the effect of other Pokemon’s moves. Each Pokemon can hold an item, which can help with certain strategies. There are literally trillions of possible sets when you consider held items, abilities, moves, IVs, and EVs. Factor in the fact that there are six Pokemon in a party, and there are some ridiculously huge number of possible parties. Strategy and synergy between Pokemon can make or break a team.
Yes, the game can be beaten without too much difficult by an eight year old. No, the game is not for eight year olds. The level of strategy and combination is greater than any other game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot.

It bugs the crap out of me, because Pokemon is probably my favorite video game (outside of Heroes of Newerth) and yet everyone seems to have this preconceived notion of it as “for kids only” because it was so popular among the younger demographic a few years back. If people would stop thinking they know what Pokemon is because they were alive during the craze and had it vaguely described to them once and actually played the game, they’d realize their error. And I want people to play the game, because then I can steal their legendaries.

Owning the game does not mean you understand it. When was the last time you played it (if that’s your latest version, probably not for 7-8 years)? I don’t know how old you were then, but I would imagine not very, and probably not old enough to get the adult aspect of it. Plus, I don’t know if the current level of customization was even around back then.

I wouldn’t even say that it’s marketed to children. I think it does appeal to children (because of the somewhat cutesy nature of the monsters and because of the show), and they do exploit that somewhat, but the Pokemon playing community is varied in age range, and I think GameFreak and Nintendo both get that. Every so often there’s a “how old are you” thread on GameFAQs and you’ll get a large number of 18-25s who grew up with it and never put it down.

There are more Pokemon, for one thing, and a ton of moves. The graphics are better, a lot of the overall interface is a lot less clunky and easier to use. They changed the battle mechanics rather significantly between the third and fourth generation. There’s now Wifi Global Trading. There’s more stuff to do after you finish the game now than just level up all your Pokemon to level 100. I mean, the basic premise of the game is still more or less the same, but they’ve added a ton of things to it to make it a lot more fun to play, imo.

He was dirty. Settled down after the first, especially after being staked to a 4 run lead in the 2nd. Spent very little time out of the stretch, where he’s more inconsistant.
From the 5th inning on the slider and whatever pitch he throws at ~80mph (curve?) were breaking so sharply he was doubling up on them.

I’d say that whether or not you’re an adult that plays video games depends on when you grew up. I started playing Atari as a kid, and never stopped playing video games. Now I’m a woman of a certain age kicking the collective asses of frat boys everywhere in Modern Warfare 2. It’s a release.

I'm not much of a gamer at all
I really don’t like games enough to seek them out. The one exception was when I got that WW2 squad-based shooter last year, because I wanted to get something of a feel for what it might be like. Then it went to the stage where suddenly I’m a Brit tank driver instead of a US paratrooper and I went all “fuck this shit I don’t care” and haven’t played it since.
I tried playing Timmy 2K9 but the pitching controls were so confusing and I was positively Fred Lewis Velezbian in fielding and Rowandian on throwing. Not fun.
My cousins always ask me what games I’ve installed on my iPhone, and I say … “None?” Well, I just installed a chess app.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
I prefer the more casual games. I do enough thinking at work. I don’t need that sort of intensity elsewhere, so games with a big learning curve aren’t for me.

The simplest answer:
Ishi is a better defender and likely would have done as well or better on offense. Plus he has upside and is cheaper.
More complex: there were better options available on the market.

Rebuttal:
Ishi is a better defender, but I dispute that he has upside greater than Huffs. Huff’s upside is his 2008 season. What’s Ishi’s?
And at the time we signed Huff, there really weren’t better options on the market. LaRoche was being a cocknugget and Nick had already decided he wanted to DH.

I think I’ve had this conversation like thirty times already since Huff was signed and I don’t care to have it again. Bottom line is – I wish the offseason had gone differently, but now that Huff’s here, I’m happy to root for him and he makes me lol
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
From what we’ve seen so far, Ishi’s upside is Huffs downside. If Huff’s bat is worth more than Ishi’s glove (which so far it has been), then he plays. If he doesn’t, he eventually gets Garko’d. So far, I’d say we’re getting our money’s worth.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
Andres Torres: perfectly cromulent.
Huff's downside is 2009
which was worse than Ishikwa’s 2009
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Ishi: 26
Huff: 33
That’s my main point. Huff isn’t likely to get better while Ishi is. Ishi hasn’t even been given a full season. And yes, this has been talked to death.

No way Ish as a starter would “have done as well or better on offense”. Huff is a better hitter and it isn’t even very close in my opinion.
2009
Ishikawa: 85 OPS+
Huff: 81 OPS+
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Yeah yeah
Huff’s offensive ceiling is much much higher than Ishis.
Do you think Ishikawa is even remotely capable of a 137 OPS+ season?
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.
No?
But Huff has had one season at that level out of the last five, so I don’t think he’s really capable of it anymore either.
Do I think Ishikawa could potentially manage a 103 OPS+, like Huff put up from 2005-2007? Yes.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
maybe?
You asked “Huff’s upside is 2008. What is Ishi’s?”
Maybe Ishi’s upside is 2011? How are we gonna catch lightning in a bottle fluke career years with out starting him.
Maybe Ishi’s upside is doing what he did in 2008 but at the major league – 955 OPS between AA/AAA.
I think Huff’s ceiling WAS higher than Ishikawa’s. In the land of guessing about output in an uncertain future, I’d have liked to see Ishikawa more.

I suspect that as long as he’s not a huge defensive liability and continues to produce at the plate, we’ll like him. When that stops, he’ll turn into Aurilia v2010.
I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.
Damn missed a good one I see.
Somewhat made up for by the thought of all those who complained about Whiteside starting today having to keep mum yet again -the guy keeps pitching gems for cripesakes. What they should really do is send Eli down to coach Posey. If just some of the magic could rub off on Buster that would be brilliant.
Be careful with me. I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way.

Well, I just am dismayed that anyone complains about Whiteside catching Sanchez after the No-hitter. Complaining about him catching someone else is a little more understandable I guess. That said: I do own a Whiteside jersey. He is fast becoming my all time favorite Giants catcher.

I feel like this upcoming series with the Dodgers will tell us a lot.
It’ll be the first time we’re playing a legit contender that doesn’t have anyone out with injuries (like Chipper was).
Not only that, we’ll be facing at least one of their best pitchers.
If we can win this series with LA, I’ll be very confident about the rest of the season.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.
I heard a Baseball America podcast where they discussed him
They thought that his issue is that his delivery doesn’t use his lower body enough.
As far as mechanical issues to fix, this is relatively easier to fix. However, they also thought that it might be something that he doesn’t NEED to fix, as he’s still getting results.
I do think that it would help him tremendously with the expanded workload he’s facing in the pros vs high school. Getting those larger muscles involved should help each pitch have more zip, and also allow him to keep that zip over a full season.
Interesting thoughts.

Yeah. I forgot to start Piniero oday so of course he had a great game. For some reason my only other start this week has been Jurjens, who got roughed up. So I have a 16.62 ERA and 1 K

Honestly
It’s probably good for him to get knocked around a bit.
He got away with the declining stuff last year in terms of ERA and W/L and I suspect that may have kept him from getting his breaking ball to where it needs to be. Maybe getting hit around a little will make him realize he really does have to get that down.

Duanel returns!
Well, maybe.
Might the Padres be close to spending close to $1 million on a 16-year-old Dominican Republic prospect who is facing a 50-game suspension from Major League Baseball for failing a drug test?
The player is infielder Duanel Jones, who is considered one of the top players available in this season’s crop of Latin American prospects.
But several other clubs, including the Yankees and Reds, are also said to be interested in Jones who last year reportedly had a $1.25 million offer from the San Francisco Giants rescinded when he failed a drug test.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.
Re the suspension, I didn’t realize that it was confirmed to be PED-related:
In the past year, the commissioner’s office, as a result of the MLB Dominican investigative unit’s work, has suspended several top prospects including Rafael DePaula (age), Damian Arredondo (PED use and age), Duanel Jones (PED), Felix Perez (age), and Carlos Matias (age).

My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.

wow
wonder who will actually be there when FA hits.
I think that Pujols and Howard will be resigned. Gonzalez, I think, has to be traded somewhere where he will sign a long term deal.
Fielder is asking for something ridiculous, like 8 yrs/200M. Since the Yankees won’t be involved, that will be tough to get. He’s the only one of the 4 I see hitting FA. And if Adrian goes to the Red Sox, then it is more likely that he comes to a deal with the Brewers.

Exactly, the Cards and Phils, respectively have to sign their guys or they will hear it from their fans. Especially the Cardinals after the contract they just gave Holliday.
Part of the inevitable Gonzales trade will be the extension.
Fielder’s agent is Boras. Boras clients always go to FA. He wants money, I just dunno where he will get it. The Giants better stay away from those demands.

yes
and per Cot’s he’s a FA this year as well.
Matsui is just on a one year deal, so I’d have to think, even if they resign Morales at 1B, they’d still be in on Prince if he hits FA.
