Post-Game Thread: Giants, Lincecum Dominate

I don't want to keep going back to the "last year's team wouldn't have been able to have a game like this" cliche. For one, it's pretty much the same danged team. We joke about Hensley Meulens being made of patient, rated-rookie magic dust, but a new hitting coach can't have this much of an impact just a couple weeks into the season. The Giants are hitting right now, but it doesn't have to mean anything.

I'm pretty sure, though, that last year's team wouldn't have been able to wait out a knuckleballer. There's no factual support for that, of course, but watching Aubrey Huff spit on fluttering pieces of flotsam felt like a wholly new experience.

Also of note: 11 games, three shutouts. That ties the Nationals total from last year.

Great game.

The thing i don’t get in ROY vs TIM talk, is it ignores all the other contenders. Are we all just buying the NL is worse than the AL therefore Roy will do *(difference between leagues) better this year? Or just leaving the AL East will be worth a .5 change in FIP this year? What about Carpenter? or a Santana flashback. Or Wainwright or someone else i don’t think will ever win one. The Cy Young race is so close each year, a couple of flubs can ruin a players chances.

Not only Tim can beat Halladay. In fact people have been beating him since 2003 (not to say he may have been more deserving some of those years – I didn’t check all 6 years).

It’s Tim vs. Roy because they are the two best pitchers in the league. It has nothing to do with AL vs. NL… Halladay is just flat out GOOD. And if Carp and Waino had a year to win, it was last year; they both seemed like a flash in the pan to me, and they’ll have to work a LOT harder to keep up with Timmy and Doc.

They also usually have to turn in the votes before the post-season (or before they do too deep into the post-season), in part I think because they don’t want someone pitching great in October to be a deciding factor in a close race

This is true, but there’s the old blah-di-blah about voting for someone on a contending team. And I was mistaken, he won in 2005, where he WAS that good. But that was 2005 (where the Cardinals were 100-win team, by the by), and I don’t think Carpenter is going to do at 35 what he did at 30. Ditto for 2004 Johan Santana.

To be fair

He’s still a very good pitcher. He was injured last year (though he was still fairly good!), but in his first year in the Mets, he led the league in ERA and he’s off to a decent start this year.

Still very good, but significantly worse. He’s lost velocity, and with it K’s, and his walks are up. I mean, do you remeber just how great he used to? He was looking like a HOFer for a few years there.

Well, yeah, he’s not as good as he used to be. But if he can put up a few more years of 130+ ERA+ (which I don’t think is impossible – his K and BB numbers are not exactly at horrible levels), I think he’ll have a decent shot at the Hall.

Hmm, last year he started the same number of games as Tim. He averaged slightly more than 1/3 more inning per start.

The fact that he was in the AL with the DH and with a presumably worse bullpen behind him is probably the difference.

I’m thinking this year Tim has to be just way better than everyone else to win the Cy again. He would have to be the clear-cut winner because if it’s as close as it was last year where you could make good arguments for all three guys, I don’t think Timmy gets it again.

So far, Timmy looks like he could have an epic type of year. Sub 2.00 ERA, sub 1.00 Whip. Would be very hard to ignore. This three game stretch has been very impressive. He’s been almost unhittable in 3/4 of his innings.

Halladay still doesn't deserve it.

Let’s say that CY voting was today, and let’s look at some stats:

Retired the LO hitter in 19 of his 20 innings.
K/BB 24/3
BAA: .178
WINZ: 3-0
ERA: .90

Plus if you see any of his starts you see just how dominate he is-yes Halladay is a damn fine workhorse and is a consistently good performer, I would be lying if I said I didn’t wish we had him-but when you see today how Dodgers who have faced Tim 20 times before still look Lo-A against him you truly appreciate just what kind of level he is at.

The Angles and Mariners seemed better, but now the A’s are three wins ahead. Very close. The A’s’ rotation can still break down at any moment, though.

Eh

I don’t think the Mariners ever really looked better.

Their GM did a fucking fantastic job this offseason, but he was starting from a pretty low quality team.

Angels lost a lot of pieces. A’s got better and started out better than the M’s.

I don’t know, there isn’t a huge difference between Matsui and Abreu, and Vlad was pretty bad last year. Did they lose anyone else important? I admit I haven’t been following that closely.

Mariners seemed to me just as great on defense, and better offensively. Starting pitching is just really hard to predict – Oakland’s rotation could be anywhere between best in AL (Anderson lives up to his potential, Sheets and Duchscherer pitch like they can, Braden and Gozales do a solid job) to catastrophic (Anderson pitches like a 22 y-o, Sheets and Duchscherer break down, Braden and Gonzales are below average).

Plaschke haz a sad.

And Dodger jealousy…kinda nice!

As much as Torre has kept the possible effects of the McCourt divorce away from the field, this weekend marks the first time in several years that they are playing an NL West team that is spending more money than them. Baseball history shows that an 11th-ranked payroll is rarely a championship payroll, and Saturday showed the trickle-down effects of this sort of depressed Dodgers economy.

Meanwhile, the Giants spent the day celebrating the two things that the Dodgers don’t have — a top-10 payroll and a genuine ace.

Don’t you love watching Lincecum pitch? Looks like one of those Fantasia magic mops, flying hair, stick body, hypnotic effect. He gave up four hits in six scoreless innings, fooling the Dodgers on 80-mph changeups and 90-mph fastballs and ball movements and leg lifts and all sorts of unexplainable stuff. Oh yeah, and a kid who never batted at the University of Washington was three for four with three runs batted in, including a perfectly stunning run-scoring bunt single.

“All in all, a pretty good day,” the two-time Cy Young Award winner said with a grin.

In the Giants’ 18-inning game, they actually got pretty lucky – Estes went 7 in the start, and the relievers were able to pitch a good bit.

Kirk Rueter started warming up in the bullpen at one point, but that turned out to be a bluff.

Kinda sorta.

If I recall correctly, Sungod is a bunch of musical performances and watersliding like mad on campus. I may be wrong, since I never really asked my older sister (UCSD alum) for details.

Picnic Day is more like celebrating the city and the campus (mostly the campus). Pretty much all of the clubs and departments make exhibits or hold events/demonstrations or sell food. That, and it gives pretty much everyone legal a free pass at getting absolutely sauced the night before. Save the bus drivers.

Haha that’s cool. I went to UCSD, sungod was pretty awesome. Just an excuse for the whole campus to get drunk, it was really the one day of the year that people at that school were actually fun. The musical performances were usually just an added bonus, the drinking was always the best part.

His dad coming to watch him pitch for the very first time, as he was going through the lowest point of his career, in a game he really wasn’t even supposed to start. The fact that the game was at home and the crowd was electric just added to it all. The Rockies no-hitter just seems to lack all the qualities that made the Sanchez no-hitter an epic event. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=5526417

I really take a grim satisfaction in knowing that the a Rockies pitches threw a no-hitter, and it wasn’t even the best game played today. Thank you, Mets and Cardinals!
