Giants/Dodgers Series Preview

The first part of the date might be great. The conversation might be easy and free-flowing. The restaurant might be perfect. Everything’s looking up. But if you casually mention that underneath your suit, you’re wearing an exact replica of the outfit Leia wore on Jabba’s barge, you still have a chance to ruin the evening completely.
So just act normal, Giants. You’re doing well. Don’t screw it up by letting us see what’s underneath the impressive exterior. If you’re going to jab us in the heart and fall back to earth, wait until after this weekend.
Even better, don’t fall back to earth. Keep winning. Google Image Search result for "Good triumphing over evil":
Well, that’s not exactly how I thought it would be visualized, but this will do just fine. The Giants are going into the bowels of Hades for three games. They need to win at least two games to keep the super happy fun time feelings going. A series loss, and it’s time to worry, fret, and grumble. We’ll start thinking about Freddy Sanchez – how no one really cares if he’s in the lineup or not, and how that’s just a little ridiculous seeing as he’s the "most important acquisition" of the past year. We’ll start realizing that Todd Wellemeyer is here for the rest of the year, as Madison Bumgarner isn’t exactly forcing his way into the rotation. We’ll start frothing at the mouth every time Bengie Molina hits into a double play, even if he deserves better. It will be ugly.
No one wants that. So I propose the Giants win at least two games, and I strongly advise that they win all three.
Hitter to watch
Garret Anderson. If you don’t want to watch him, don’t worry. The entire Giants’ scouting staff will be. They want to get a good read on this up-and-comer before he’s a free agent this offseason. Hey, they’ll need a backup plan in case Nate Schierholtz has a bad March.
Pitcher to watch
Russ Ortiz and Ramon Ortiz are in the Dodgers bullpen. If this were last year, we could expect that the former Grizzlies would pitch a combined six hitless innings this series, coming into every appearance with the bases loaded and no one out, getting the Giants to hit into pop up after pop up.
But this isn’t last year. I think. I hope. Just as the answer to the question, "What’s worse than being eliminated by the Dodgers?" is "Being eliminated by the Dodgers on a Steve Finley grand slam," it’s possible for a series loss to the Dodgers to be worse, and that’s if Russ Ortiz shuts down the Giants’ offense in high-leverage situations. If this team is truly different, they’ll force Ortiz to throw strikes, which **SPOILER** he isn’t especially good at.
If this team is truly different, they’ll win this series.
If this team is truly different, they won’t break our hearts so.
Prediction
Some of us will take these fanciful sporting contests too seriously, possibly uttering a cuss word or two. I’m pretty sure I didn’t feel like this before the Pirates series. I love a good Giants/Dodgers match-up, but danged if they don't completely wear me down.

One of the strangest moments of the year for me
Was finding a picture of my mom and Will.I.Am backstage at a BEP concert. Apparently she got invited by a friend who worked for the concert sponsor, and got to meet and chat with all the Peas after their show. Of course, being my mom, she had absolutely no idea who any of them were prior to meeting them.
I am still completely flabbergasted, but apparently Will.I.Am is “very nice”.
Will is cool, just not in Bums uni. My buddy was roommates with APL not too long ago.

This series will validate our hot start. 7-2 can be a fluke, especially against the teams we’ve played (chipper-less ATL), but going down there and taking 2/3 from the bums will convince me that this team, much like Neal, is real.
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.
I dunno if Chipper had played if the Atl series would have been too different. Chipper is getting up there, and our pitching was pretty good with offense backing them up.

Every year, my roommates and I watch a Sharks game, and every time it’s a really good game until the Sharks blow it at the end. And then we say “…and so goes the aught-nine hockey-watching experiment.”
We watched the gold medla game so we’re considering counting that this year, so as to give the Sharks a chance.

But that’s college sports, their chance of winning a national championship is less than 1% even if all teams were equal. They’re not one of 30.

go ahead… i’m just hoping that Alex can excell, and i’m not buying reports that they’ll draft Clausen, that’s just what they need to do, draft ANOTHER ROOKIE QB
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
It’s hard to draft any other kind of quarterback. In the last five years they’ve drafted exactly two quarterbacks, They could actually stand to draft more.
For reference, the Patriots have drafted a quarterback on the first day of the draft more recently than the 49ers. The Patriots. With Tom f’in Brady.

at least Clausen would be a pro style offense QB to be honest…. And i did not know that, that’s some good knowledge
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Well, I don’t think Clausen falls to 13 anyway… but… the 49ers can go a lot of ways with the first round. Some of those ways are bad. Some of those ways are good. And some of those ways are great. The least I can say about Clausen if he falls is that it wouldn’t fall under the bad-pick category.

agreed, and actually i think he does fall to 13 to be honest. I wouldn’t care if they did draft him… They HAVE to draft a guard or Tackle in the first round though either way, and i know you agree with me, because like you said, they have alot of good options here
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
I dislike him personally based on his attitude
But, based on his playing he seems like he could be above average. I’m hoping the stars align for this draft (like they did with Crabtree) and we get a solid OT and possibly a DB

Because he’s cocky? dude, i wouldn’t care at this point, Singletary will handle him, just like he did Crabtree, and i know what you’re saying, basically Haden and Anthony Davis, or someone like that, IUPATI
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
It goes beyond the cockyness for me.
His senior year of high school he played against a team from Santa Rosa (my city) for the stat championship. He came off as a douchebag then and still has the same personality. Crabtree and VD were different, they seemed like nice guys who just weren’t great at keeping some of their actions under wraps. To me Clausen just looks like he’s 100% douche and there isn’t anything to salvage for Sing.

i’d really hate that to be honest, only because i’m biased… but who knows with this guy Baake… he could go OT and CB, i truly think the area’s of need are RB, QB, OT, CB, S, and that’s bout it, RB i’d like Best or Spiller
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Immediate future needs would be OT/DB (assuming Smith is going to improve)
But on the horizon or during the 2+ rounds we definitely need to look at RB/QB/KR/OLB/2nd WR(I don’t know about Morgan) if we don’t take one first round.
I wouldn’t mind a draft with Spiller/OT in the first round and maybe a DB with our second pick? A QB wouldn’t be bad either, I just wish Smith would have finally given us a definitive answer as to how good he’s going to be last year. I’m tired of these years of QB testing.
Jeaaaggaahh
by Soulbrother16 on Apr 15, 2010 11:38 PM PDT up reply actions
you want your KR? Mardy Gilyard in the 2nd, You’re tired of the QB testing? the problem is the draft dude, Smith has been MEH, given the injuries and shit… but DB would be Haden, and OT would be Iupati, or Davis… but Clausen with either one would be ideal, because the Oline is deep in this draft
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Yea I’ve looked at Gilyard and would love if we got him in the 2nd. We’re basically subject to whatever is left at 13. If we can get lupati or davis then it’s an easy pick, but if they’re gone then we’ll obviously go with best position player available in which case Clausen or Spiller would be nice. Spiller would knock out the KR/PR problem as well if I remember correctly.

Well, if Smith plays awesome he could be the starter forever and we could trade Clausen for a King’s ransom. The only way we lose is if both Smith and Clausen end up being Brady-Quinn bad.

Fred Lewis is not in the lineup for Triple-A Fresno in Las Vegas tonight, and I think I know why.
I am getting strong indications from multiple sources that the Giants are working to complete a deal that would send Lewis to Toronto. What the team will receive in return is unclear.
It makes sense. The Jays are very short on outfielders. They got a good first-hand look at a hot Lewis the last three nights as he played against their Triple-A team in Las Vegas. Et cetera.
If anyone needs a change of scenery, it’s Lewis. He has not been happy here for a long time, asked for a trade last year and does not believe he will get a fair shot anymore under manager Bruce Bochy, despite how he played last year.
Lewis’ speed would play well on the turf in Toronto and, who knows? Maybe he’ll see the ball better in the outfield there?
I have no idea when the deal will be announced. Perhaps there are physicals involved.
If this goes down, props to Andy Baggarly of the Merc for first mentioning Toronto as a possible destination earlier this week.

Goodbye Fred, he’ll finally get the chance he’s been waiting for. Reading this makes me sad :(
Said he knows how it works: You have a good year, as he did in 2008, and everyone loves you. Have a down year, as he did in 2009, and the love goes away.
"I just have to make ‘em love me again," he said with a smile. Seems to be in a good place mentally.

I minced a couple of cloves of garlic and sauteed in a little olive oil for about a minute. Then I put the spinach in, and just got it a little wilted, and tossed it through all the oil. About 2 more minutes. Then put it on a plate with a little salt.

cool
for the marinade, I boiled a couple of tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary, and boiled in a cup of water for about 5 minutes, covered. Let it cool, then put in the blender with a few cloves of garlic. Really, let it cool, like put in in the freezer before blending, or you will have a hot mess. I speak from experience. :) Added some salt and pepper. Marinade for at least 15 minutes.
You’ll get some flare ups when you baste, so be aware of that.

Oh, Lordy.
So I go to school in Davis, and my sister and I (and whoever wants to come along) drive up from home to drop me off. And when it comes to food options, we (typically) only have two: Sonic (if we’re in a hurry); and Fenton’s in Vacaville. Granted, it’s not the original, but it does a pretty damn good job.
Service is inconsistent, but we typically order the following:
-An adventurous sundae for me (which I never finish)
-A sophisticate sundae or a scoop of ice cream for her
-Fries (chili cheese or not)
I’m getting my friends up here to see the light, and we’re finalizing a completely random Saturday trip to Fenton’s just to gloriously fail at finishing sundaes. Though my friend’s insisting on splitting one with me. I think she’s out of her mind.

like honestly, i couldn’t hate EVERYONE in LA, because there are people i do think are pretty cool, such as Vin Scully

Vin Scully has seen Mel Ott play. No other broadcaster can say that (except for the retired Ernie Harwell).

Looks like people are spamming anyway
So that removes any qualm I had about spamming a link again.
Anyway, the Giants should do well in this series. From what I saw in spring training, the Dodgers ended a bad spring training with a huge streak of losses, which bodes poorly for teams in general and suggests they will be worse than a year ago.
Also, Conor Gillaspie, the man most of you had never heard of or wrote off a year ago, is one home run away from matching his 2009 total… he’s at 3, in 30-some at-bats. He’s hitting like .212, but the entire Flying Squrriels team seems to be hitting around .200 as it is.
also http://www.manicbaseball.com will be updated, some focus of course on conor because I’m his biggest fan outside of his family and people he went to college with
Im pretty sure most people on this site know who Gillaspie is.

the whole AA team/A+ last year should be pretty good.

Gillaspie’s been distinctly underwhelming in his minor league career so far though, and with that call-up forcing him on the 40-man roster before he should have been and starting the clock on his option years, he really needs to start producing soon to be a viable prospect. He’s clearly got potential and everything, but he’s not a great prospect. Hitting .286/.364/.386 in High-A is not especially great, and he wasn’t young enough to get any sort of “He’s young relative to his league!” discount that a 19-year old might get.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
He still has a couple of years left , right?
He’ll be 24 by then and if he’s not ready for the major leagues or worth keeping on the 40 man roster at that point, he won’t ever make it, so i don’t think it was a huge risk
Sean Burroughs if we are lucky
Sean Burroughs actually played really good defense, something that Gillaspie still has to work on.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
40-man
and with that call-up forcing him on the 40-man roster before he should have been and starting the clock on his option years
Was it the call up that put him on the 40 man roster? I thought it was part of the signing agreement that he would go straight to the 40-man…which I thought was weird at the time.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
It was the call-up. It wasn’t in the contract specifically, but it was a gentleman’s agreement that he would come up to the majors.

Give him a chance
He did okay until the 6th in his first start. I think we shouldn’t write him off just yet.
he’s a 5th starter, whatever, why so critical
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
four manning it
We could try a four man rotation when the off days allow it,.
we could
and in my opinion, we should.
For all the kerfuffle about starters going more innings, I’m less interested in innings per game, and more about getting extra starts out of the best guys.
Tim averaged 7 IP per start last year in 32 starts. I’m perfectly happy with 7 IP per, but would love to get him 34 starts.

I like the idea of keeping the best guys on a 5 day schedule, with of course the flexibility to give an extra day if needed. Then, your 5th guy is also available for relief work if he’s not needed.
It really helps if you have a guy in your pen or with availibilty from AAA to move up for a spot start if needed too.
I don’t see why your worst pitcher should get the luxury of a set schedule, at the cost of fewer starts from your ace.
I’d like to see an analysis done on this, but I have to think this could be worth an additional win, which is surprisingly huge.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 2-1 at home this season and are solid favorites to beat the San Francisco Giants who are 3-0 on the road this season. The Dodgers have a better than 55% chance of winning based on 10,000 game simulations generated one play at a time by the AccuScore Simulation Supercomputer.

Actually
55% percent is pretty fuckin’ good considering it’s our #5 starter against one of their “better” pitchers.
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.

Yeah, he was REALLY serious about it to. His tone was dead serious, and he used some very strong language: calling the current crowd that Dodgers Stadium attracts “hostile”, “mean-spirited”, and “dangerous”. I’m a little scared for Nat.

We were there Saturday night in 327 and there was a fight at the end of our row*, and we spotted/heard at least two in the bleachers.
*-BTW, when there’s a fight nearby, do take care to protect yourself and your loved ones but SIT THE FUCK DOWN because some of us want to watch the baseball match we paid tickets for. If I wanted to watch drunk losers fight over stupid shit, I’d go to Union Street after the game.

I’ve seen random fights at games (to be expected with that much testosterone involved I guess), but I steered clear of attendance at A’s and Dodgers series just because of the lunkheads that come out for it. People dumping beer on someone else’s head, wrestling each other and falling down rows of stairs in the upper deck, etc. Just too retarded to deal with.
One day when I was at the bar they had one of those “best fight clips” type of shows – you know, like “best cop chases”, “best train wrecks”, whatever – and one of the fights was some Giants fan at ATT knocking someone out and my first thought was “that has to be a Dodgers game.”

Went to a game in ~2003, Giants came back from losing and took the lead off Gagne in the top of the 9th and won. We didn’t make a sound because the cholos five rows back took a break from throwing shit at as to start yelling to the whole section, “YO, THOSE GIANTS FANS JUST SAID THEY HATE MEXICANS!”
Yes, funny to you but fairly terrifying to us at the time.
