Post-Game Thread: Unkempt, dreadlocked hobo makes children cry

PrintI’m sorry. We didn’t deserve that. What have we ever done to deserve a home run hit by an an aging, slow, roided-up freak of hitting legend? The Giants wouldn’t inflict that sort of pain on another team. So this game was a bunch of unfair nonsense. Have some respect for the game, Los Angeles.
Urf. The Giants were close to a series win -- so close. Zito pitched well but got cained. The Giants were patient enough against Failbeard, walking a bunch, but they couldn’t hit him. Understandable. That’s kind of Kershaw’s thing.
I don’t want to punch a wall after that one, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because Sergio Romo has favored nation status around here, and I can’t flip out over a bi-weekly hanging slider. Maybe it’s because last year’s first trip into the blue outhouse was such a discouraging debacle. Maybe it’s because the Maker’s Mark has been flowing since the sixth, and it’s a perfect day outside. Bad game. Screw it. Move on.
Stupid Dodgers. Stupid game.

It’s more an environmental issue for me than anything. I looked at going to school in the Los Angeles area (Pomona/Pitzer, Oxy, and Pepperdine for transparency’s sake), and while I know there’s plenty of nice stuff that LA offers, I decided I didn’t want to spend 4 years in a place where I can see the air, and can’t just “hit the road” in my car and go somewhere.

I really enjoyed San Francisco. I went last weekend and fell in love with the city. There were a lot of homeless people in downtown but I never really felt threatened by them like I do out here in LA. I went through the Tenderloin (I think) well I don’t know if it was, it was South Van Ness & Market on the F Line going to Castro. I felt alright at the edge of Castro, we got off on 16th I think. But I really liked the vibe of the city, it really was beautiful. Thinking of transferring to school there which would be awesome especially to be able to see the Giants at AT&T rather than at the Latrine.

Oh alright it was a little weird right around that area so I’m not sure where exactly I was, but it wasn’t as nice as the areas I had previously been in. We were headed to Ike’s. But I think I really liked Russian Hill the best. Walking on Hyde it was pretty cool. It was walking on a main street with the feel like I was in a neighborhood out here in LA.

I think part of it is also that, that series last year, the Giants just seemed completely outclassed by the Dodgers. It was demoralizing. Even though we lost this series, it seems pretty clear that we’re much more evenly matched this year.

It made the loss a little easier to take that it was a close game. Last year we took such a beating from the Dodgers that it was embarrassing. It’s really significant that it was only a 2-1 loss. The only thing I’m angry about was that Zeets just pitched so fucking awesome that he really deserved the win.

It's not as if the 'pen blew a 5 run lead.
Maybe it stings more that it happened in the first AB after the pitching change, but the first AB was also Manny effing Ramirez.
Rewriting history to claim that Romo is all of a sudden unreliable isn’t the answer. The Giants offense, on the other hand, has been overachieving a little and I kind of expected this type of game soon.

So Romo's ERA is now 1.59.
Apparently Ramirez was sitting on that exact pitch. Who called for it?
Remember also that it would have been only a game-tier had Zito not walked a man. Zito had a superb game, and has had a superb season so far, following up a fine close to 2009; but that doesn’t alter the reality that he is not and long has not been a deep-game pitcher, and should not have been asked to start the 8th.

Who called it? The answer is obvious:
Buster Posey
co-dad w/AfDC of
Ishikawa, the Topps Rookie All Star Team's First baseman. Does he get a chance in 2010?
I saw he finished with 104 pitches. As you say, given his history of gassing out, he should have been seated with a job well done.

Can people quit acting like Romo is a mediocre middle reliever or something?
His career ERA coming into today was 2.84; his FIP is 2.57
He strikes out well over 9 per 9 innings, while walking 2.3
His career WHIP is 0.93.
Despite being a flyball pitcher, he’s given up only 5 HR in 73.2 innings over his career
He’s a good fucking pitcher. He made a mistake. It happens. Affeldt and Wilson are good fucking pitchers as well, but come on, Sergio Romo is not Brandon Medders.

And also, that’s exactly when Manny would pinch hit anyway. It’s not like Torre would be like “Fuck it, I don’t want the game to be tied.” He was hitting for the pitcher. He would have hit there no matter what.

Nope.

But you are insane if you think Wilson and Romo are even close. So you want Romo to close?
This is outdated thinking.
I want my best pitcher in the highest-leverage situation. If the heart of the order is up in the eighth, I want my ‘closer’ to pitch the eighth. I don’t give a shit who gets the actual last out. Saves are at least as meaningless a stat as winz.

The facts say otherwise. You know, the records of what happened.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
Romo’s slider is a hell of a lot more nasty than Wilson’s. And he also has a changeup that has gotten him good results so far, although he doesn’t throw it as much.
And I think you’re insane if you DON’T think Wilson and Romo are close. They strike out a similar number of batters. Romo has better control. I don’t see what makes Wilson clearly superior to him (or at least wildly superior to him) other than the fact that Wilson has been crowned the CLOSER and Romo hasn’t.
THIS ISN’T SAYING WILSON IS BAD! I THINK HE’S REALLY GOOD! I just think the Giants have two really, really good relief pitchers in the bullpen (and Affeldt too, but I don’t think he’s on the same level as Romo and Wilson.)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Nice. Dismissing me by calling me ‘irrational’ and then bringing up an awesome strawman, since you’re responding to a comment where I said that Wilson and Romo are both great pitchers.
I’d be happy with EITHER of them facing Manny Ramirez in that situation. I wouldn’t complain either way.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Romo has ONE pitch. If you think a great slider is better than a great fastball and an above average slider then I can’t help you.
And I love the comparing Romo’s peripherals to Wilsons. Wilson pitched twice as many innings as Romo did and faced both righties and lefties consistently. Romo often was brought in for a right and then was yanked.
For the last time, I am NOT saying Romo is better than Wilson so stop arguing with me as though I am. I am saying that BOTH of them are extremely good pitchers and that the gap between them is much closer than you are making it out to be.
Romo did face fewer lefties than righties last year, but about a third of the batters he faced were lefties, so it’s not as though he was kept from pitching to them completely. And he held them to a .542 OPS, so perhaps he should have been allowed to pitch to more lefties.
I care more about results than stuff in this argument – however he does it (and his fastball is average, it’s not a bad pitch), Sergio puts up really damn good numbers. So does Wilson. The Giants have two ace-level relievers in their pen. I don’t have a problem with using either of them in high-leverage situations.
The end.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
The expert who is not an expert has spoken.
Romo is not on the same level as Wilson. If you think having a great slider and a BELOW AVERAGE fastball is the SAME as having a great fastball and an above average slider then once again I can’t help you.
I guarantee if you gave the smartest organizations in baseball a choice of our bullpen arms they’d take Brian Wilson over Sergio Romo in a split second.
You use the better rested pitcher in your bullpen with a one run lead in the 8th inning of a one run game against your hated division rival with Manny Ramirez up.
END OF STORY.
So you’re the expert? Hitters are unable to do much with Romo’s pitches, so he pretty clearly has it. Some relievers can get by just fine with only one pitch and be dominant.

Yeah, I profess ignorance about Romo’s stuff. I only started being able to watch games on a consistent basis in September, so I haven’t seen how he mixes up his pitches, and what he likes to throw and such. I was mostly speaking to how a closer can easily get away with only having one pitch, so long as it’s a good one.
I guess the one thing you REALLY need to be a closer is an “out” pitch. Sergio has one in the slider, whereas Affeldt really doesn’t.

Ah yes, yet again, the fact that I have the gall to argue with the guy who worked for the unnamed baseball team means I think I’m an expert. Right.
I’m not an expert. I just have my opinion. My opinion is that Sergio Romo is a lot better than you’re giving him credit for – and yes, there have been plenty of relievers who have made entire careers on one amazing pitch.
They might take Wilson over Romo – I won’t deny that, due to his velocity, Wilson probably has more longterm upside than Romo. But right now? On a game-to-game basis? I don’t see any evidence that there is some huge gap between the two of them.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I’ll take my closer (laugh all you want but it takes more to be a closer than a situational righty specialist) with more experience, more upside, 2+ pitches, and more consistency over the situational righty with one pitch any day of the week. ESPECIALLY against Manny Ramirez.
The guy who’s held lefties to a .432 OPS over his career is a situational righty specialist. Got it.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
The point is
the fact that he’s not being used that way clearly isn’t his fault, as he’s shown no indication that he can’t get left handed hitters out. That’s not an indictment of him, it’s an indictment of Bochy (and we’re back where we started!)

Cue 2 years down the road as Romo is struggling to get guys out. It’s management’s fault! They never made him the closer! They never let him face lefties!
I’d love to watch you as a Padres fan a few years ago sayng Cla Meredith is as good as Trevor Hoffman
Your argument: “Romo is used as a righty specialist, therefore he’s not as good as you’re saying.”
My argument: “True, he does face fewer LHH than you would expect, but he’s done very well against them, so perhaps he should be allowed to face more lefties.”
Your argument: “In two years, if Romo struggles, you’re going to blame it all on Bochy and the management!!!”
What?

The data we have, however, which shows him holding LHH to a ridiculous sub-.450 OPS, suggests that it’s quite possible he could be good at far more than just being a righty specialist.

Romo has the stuff to be a closer, even if he doesn’t have much velocity. I think he’s a liiiittle green still and hasn’t completely found his groove, but he’s likely going to be the Giants alternative to Romo in a couple of years.

Interesting. I guess with his throwing motion he gets that extra movement. Zito’s still seems like it breaks more, but food for thought.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Zito’s curve is biiiiig and loopy, but I remember when Romo was on last week (maybe for the home opener?) and his slider was just disgusting. It looked like there was a magnet in the catcher’s glove, it was unreal.

Does he go sidearm specifically for that slider? Would that give it away?

I haven’t paid too close attention to Romo’s delivery to be honest with you, and I can’t really pick out differences in arm slot unless I’m looking at direct comparisons, but my understanding is that he tinkers with arm slot as much for deception as for anything else. Don’t quote me on that, though.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Okay, that’s what I thought. He like jumps sideways and throws his arm around more. It must be to throw the hitters off. It’s always a WTF moment when he does it.

by WhereThere'sAWillieThere'sAMays on Apr 18, 2010 5:02 PM PDT up reply actions
In this case hindsight IS 20/20, but he got on base all the same and wound up being the tying run. Maybe you bring in Romo instead of Affeldt and overpower him. Nothing wrong with wasting him look stupid when you have 3 relievers to get 5 outs.
I don’t know. I just feel that three fresh, quality relievers are a better alternative than Zito in the 8th.
If Zito gets through the 8th, you still have two of them to throw against the Padres tomorrow. If a reliever gets through the 8th, you still have one of them to throw against the Padres tomorrow.
If Zito lets runners on, you burn a reliever and bring the go-ahead run to the plate. If the reliever lets runners on, you burn a reliever and bring the go-ahead run to the plate.
Weighing the pros and cons, and assuming that you are putting faith in Romo, Affeldt, and Wilson, I see burning a reliever to hold a lead against the Dodgers as more valuable than having an extra one in reserve to pitch against a team less likely to compete.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
You make a good argument. And I wouldn’t have objected to starting the eighth with the ‘pen. But how Bochy handled it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t happen to work tonight. If the same situation happens again this season, I’d have no problem with him doing it again.

After the first at-bat, I still think the right call was to go to the pen, even if it’s “only” Garrett Anderson (not gonna take a stance on him one way or the other). In my opinion, it was apparent that Zito was struggling with location, and while he hadn’t given up a walk, the 7th and the 8th is when he started getting close.
I respect Bochy’s decision to back up Zito, I just think there were better alternatives with a smaller downside.

But Garrett Anderson should not be the reason to make a move. Zito is tiring or the back of our bullpen being awesome is a good reason but not Garrett Anderson.

Zito "tiring" also factored in my reasoning.
I think it’s improtant to neutralize higher potential HR hitters late in a tight game. If it was only about lefty-lefty, I’d support leaving Zito to start 8th, but there’re more good reasons to use a fresh Affeldt than not.

I agree Zito was about gassed just getting through the 7th. That was great job of guts & guile, btw, but Anderson was some good numbers against in in over 60 PA. ( Sorry i forgot the match up numbers and the coffee has not kicked enough to go find them.) Enough that we can surmize Anderson ussally sees the ball off Zito. That entire chain of choices was not sound.

seemed like he got really confident with that pitch. and with a 1-2 count he shouldn’t have challenged.

I imagine he meant to throw it lower than he did. Even as it was, the pitch wasn’t exactly right down the middle of the plate, it was a bit above the knees.

If Bengie was really calling for another pitch in the strike zone, that was definitely a mistake. That slider should have been low and outside or in the dirt.

Pitch by pitch:

77 MPH curveball on the lower half, middle away.
89 MPH fastball on the lower half, middle away.
74 MPH curveball on the lower half, middle in with a lower arm slot.
Manny has a rep for seeing a pitch and sitting on it until he sees it again, even 3 ABs later if it’s the same pitcher. I don’t know if the arm slot made a difference either way, that’s Romo’s call I’m sure, but all three of those pitches were within an inc of one another.

Yep. You’d have to credit Kershaw, or something, for minimizing his issues and getting outs when he had to. Baseball.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
Kershaw pitched very well today. I know we only got the one run, but we fared against him a LOT better than we would have last year. In my eyes, there was improvement.
In particular, I think of the De La Rosa start last year where he threw something like 70 pitches through 7, and I wanted to claw my eyes out.

I still think Bochy is a horrible manager and I could certainly see the argument for taking Zito out before the 8th inning (god knows, I was nervous as fuck that he was coming in to pitch another inning). But to act like Romo over Wilson or Affeldt is a bad decision is ridiculous to me.

First and fore most I don’t think you send Zito out for tthe 8th. This all stems from that choice.
A far lesser concern is Romo or Afledt. I probably chose Adfelt because he can get the ground ball. But I think Romo went after him with the best he had. I deffinately am not down on Romo here for that. After that close ball 1 his choice were very very narrow and he did what he could with them.

Looking for a bright side, it does mean that Lincecum, Zito and Cain are lined up against the Cards next week.
"We're the kind of team people can identify with," Flannery said. "Our best pitcher weighs 150 pounds. Our shortstop is old. Our best hitter is ... big and our catcher is old and big."
I think the matchups go
Lincecum – Garcia
Zito – Wainwright
Cain – Penny
"We're the kind of team people can identify with," Flannery said. "Our best pitcher weighs 150 pounds. Our shortstop is old. Our best hitter is ... big and our catcher is old and big."
I was trying to be sarcastic but no, that’s a fair point. Especially since the Rockies come in 2 series later and will miss Tim. Though Zito-Cain-Sanchez should be a stronger trifecta than Wellemeyer-Tim-Zito.

My God are Dodger fans shit. Three times Giants fans started a “Let’s go Giants” cheer and every time the Dodger fans sat on their hands and took it like bitches. One time the woman next to me started clapping along with it – until I told her it was the Giant’s fans chanting.

If my memory serves he would do national games post season games before the 80’s. Sit dow and no Joe Buck Jr. or Karros, or well you get the pitcher; an announcer that knew a bit about the game and was not out to hawk his teams crap for 8 or the 9 innings.
Threat level that the 2010 Pads finish with more wins than the 2010 Giants is currently at - 25%
as a 21 year old
I cherish every game I’ve had and have left with Vin…I’d take Vin if he were completely senile over some run of the mil broadcaster like Joe Buck very time.
Vin, to us, represents that last bit of old fashioned purity that seems to be left in baseball nowadays, and it’ll be heartbreaking when he leaves.
I love Jon Miller, and I’m sure he’d be the first to tell you that he learned a lot, and has the utmost respect for Vin.

I began listening to Vincent Scully back in the mid 60s when it was about transistor radio. I would work on my bike in the garage with the radio blaring.
Vince would paint a vivid picture of the games.
It may just be one of those things too, where the dude gets older and just isn’t as good anymore. Lon would kinda wander off on a tangent there towards the end of his career, and Mr. Merope says Joe Nuxhall was great when Mr. Merope was growing up, but then towards the end of his career it seemed like he was falling asleep during the broadcast.
Even in his decline
I would rather listen to him then the vast majority of other announcers. I’m scared that I will be subjected to 162 games of Steve Lyons. God that would be a nightmare.

Dude…I grew up in LA and suffered for years having to share a town with those jagoffs from Brooklyn. I hate everything about them, from Lasorda to their no fun zone stadium to Nancy Bea Hefley. And if I could only listen to one announcer for the rest of my life in any sport, it would be Vin Scully. Vin calls his games for the Dodgers, and he plays to his lame audience, but I have never, ever considered him a homer. Hawk Harrelson, John Sterling, hell even Kruk & Kuip – they’re homers. Vin Scully is class personified in the booth, and I have never heard him disrespect the other team, in any venue or any sport. If you don’t like his style, that’s one thing, but I’m sorry – he’s unassailable as an announcer in my book. His decline phase is Barry Bonds in 2004 – he may not be the same guy he once was, but he’ll still kick anyone else’s ass.
Eliminate that pesky Dominatrix in one easy step. Step 1: Tell her you're a Cubs fan!
As I noted on a different thread a few days ago, in the 1997 World Series, NBC covered the game. Marlins fans thought the broadcast was biased toward the Indians. Indians fans thought it was biased toward the Marlins. In other words, they weren’t biased toward THEIR team. Since Vin wasn’t pro-Giants, he was biased toward the Cardinals when he had no bias.

I just mean that all we know about the Padres for certain is that they won’t say “no thank you” when offered a game on a silver platter, that that series may have said more about AZ than it did about SD.
I’m just being Devil’s Advocate, though. I do think the Pads are better than they’ve been in a while. Gonzalez-Blanks-Headley is a solid 3-4-5, and their pitching, especially their bullpen is just not-terrible enough to keep them in games at home.

I’m personally of the opinion that Kyle Blanks is going to bust out in a big way. I think he’s another Ryan Howard, or Nick Johnson with more power and hopefully better injury luck.
Headley is, what, 26? 27? He’s finally got a solid hold on the job at third base with Kouz gone, and is off to a ridiculous start.
Heath Bell is good, but Mike Adams will produce nearly identical numbers as closer when Bell is traded. Closers are overrated and interchangeable.

I think the luxury of a good closer is as much psychological as anything. Knowing you have a rock at the back of your bullpen can really help out a team in tight games, and Heath Bell has earned that reputation.
That’s not to say that I don’t think Mike Adams is capable; I just think the Padres might have a courting period before they can find that mindset again.

FWIW
Schulman:
After the walk to Anderson, Bochy could have brought in Brian Wilson for a five-out save. Wilson is getting good at those. Instead, Bochy went to Sergio Romo, who had faced Ramirez twice before and struck him out both times. Romo also had not allowed a run in his career against the Dodgers and right-handed hitters were 1-for-12 with five strikeouts against him this year.
“Romo, he’s been throwing as well as anybody,” Bochy said. “He’s one of our setup guys. I like him out there. He’s made some great pitches. I’ve got him and (Jeremy Affeldt). That is their role, to pitch in the seventh and eighth innings.”
Then came the decision to pitch to Ramirez rather than pitch around him. If Romo walks Ramirez, the tying run goes to second base, where even a flare or a well-placed grounder by switch-hitting leadoff man Rafael Furcal gets the tying run home. Moreover, what message does it send to your pitchers this early in the season if you don’t let your best right-handed setup man go after their best hitter? Romo just made a mistake.
"We're the kind of team people can identify with," Flannery said. "Our best pitcher weighs 150 pounds. Our shortstop is old. Our best hitter is ... big and our catcher is old and big."
It never should have got to that -- Affeldt should have started 8th inning.

I was at this game
So fucking sad. Of all players it had to be that stupid roided-woman fertility drug taking homo. I don’t think it would have stung as much if it was someone else. But fuck Zito was awesome out there, I was really impressed. I’ve forgiven him now it’s such a shame he didn’t get the win.
The Uribe homer was great. Only complaint which I had was that Bochy kept Zito in, into the 8th. I was sure Zito was gonna be pulled after the 7th and I think had Zito pulled him and brought in Romo or Affeldt in the 8th, might not have walked Anderson. That or pitching around Manny but hindsight is always 20/20. Still pretty great game even though we lost.

I would encourage you to find situations in which you are forced to speak Spanish. Spanish was my minor in college and I until I got a job, some 10 years later, working with predominantly Spanish speaking families I didn’t speak it all that well. I still can’t conjugate the damn past tense for shit, but language is one of those use it or lose it things.
Yep. I’m excited by the idea of total immersion. I’m not excited about being in school for an extra two years. Although I do think it’s worth it.

Basically they took the Writing SAT II and added it to the SAT I, since so many schools require it in order to apply. So a perfect score would be 800 Writing, 800 Verbal, 800 Math. The change happened like the year after I took it, so I’m also totally in the dark as to what is a “good” score now.

I’m sorry dude. You’re aiming for Cal right? I got a combined 1750 on my SAT I two years ago…the math is what killed me. I scored like 300 on the math. I did so well in the essay and English portions, and I did pretty well on the SAT subject tests (physics, French language, and World History), like 600s on each one. I prepped and refreshed my latent HS French, and I still did better on the French test than I did the math. Math is hell. Needless to say Stanford didn’t let me into their crappy school for jerks, but I think I’m doing okay at San Jose State.

I’ve always wondered, how are the two different?
"We're the kind of team people can identify with," Flannery said. "Our best pitcher weighs 150 pounds. Our shortstop is old. Our best hitter is ... big and our catcher is old and big."
IR is more about politics/econ and stuff. Global studies teaches us those things too, but they also require social and cultural studies, some knowledge of international law. Foreign language study and a study abroad culminating in a research project is required for GLST as well.

“The adjustment to starting every fifth day can be a difficult adjustment, mentally and physically,” said former Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi. "Ricky Romero was throwing 95 mph when we drafted him [with the sixth overall pick] in 2005. A year later, he was throwing 87-88. He had a tough time making that adjustment and bouncing back.
“He eventually made the adjustment, built up his arm and his stamina, and now he’s throwing as well as he did in college and is one of the best young pitchers around.”
So good, one veteran National League scout calls Romero “one of the five best left-handed starters in the American League.” Which makes Giants fans think about Madison Bumgarner regaining his velocity as he adjusts to the routine of professional baseball.
What is this from?

The Giants have taken some criticism for re-signing Bengie Molina and holding back Buster Posey. But with the great stuff on the Giants’ staff, Molina’s veteran pitch-calling and receiving go underrated. Posey has a chance to be an All-Star, but he also pitched and played shortstop at Florida State, and one scout who has known him since his early college days said: “Buster needs the time to learn. He’s going to be great, but he never called pitches until he signed.”
“There’s a lot more to being successful in the Majors than a pitcher having great stuff or a catcher being able to catch, throw and hit,” said Rizzo. “It’s a tough game when you’re learning in the Major Leagues. You want a kid to have a solid foundation before he gets to the Majors.”
Are you mocking me now?
It’s also funny that I’ve seen Bengie take signs from the dugout this year. and yes, no one was on base.

Not too bad
I said before this series that I was looking towards these three games for one thing; to prove whether or not this team was real. We had the hot start, and that’s well and good, but I thought it would be telling to see how they performed on the road against a damn good team.
I wish we’d won the series. But the fact that we very well could have, and that we played hard and didn’t surrender an inch, bodes well for the rest of the season.
Luckily, we’ll have a chance to prove ourselves more definitively coming up. After the Padres series, we get the Cardinals, the Phillies, and the Rockies. I think we proved against the Dodgers that we can play with the big boys. Now it’s time to see if we can actually beat them.
Go Giants.

I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.

This is not in a logical place in the thread--
but it’ll have to do.
Since people have been discussing various Giants’ pitchers and what their “real” ability is like, let’s honor Lord Kelvin (“Until your knowledge of a subject can be expressed in definite numbers, that knowledge is of a most meager and unsatisfactory kind”) with some numbers.
The “quality of pitching” stat is essentially what the average ERA results would be for his cumulative data—in effect, his pitching with luck removed. Here are 2009 numbers:
Cain. Matt…………..ERA = 2.89 & QoP = 3.18
Affeldt, Jeremy……..ERA = 1.73 & QoP = 2.64
Romo, Sergio………ERA = 3.97 & QoP = 2.98
Linsecum, Tim……..ERA = 2.48 & QoP = 2.25
So Cain wasn’t quite as good as his ERA, but close enough and awesome enough. Likewise with Affeldt—if a mid-2s ERA isn’t good enough, what is? And Romo in fact pitched a lot better on average then his ERA numbers, so his hot start this year shoukld be no surprise. (Lincecum I stuck in just for benchmarking.)
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
so the difference between QoP and FIP is..?

Hard to say.
Different methodologies, I think—I’m not intimately familiar with the details of FIP calculation. The QoP essentially—to grossly over-simplify—assumes average distributions of events, which is to say it “smooths out” luck. That it is valid is demonstrated by the fact that as the time span considered increases, the QoP and actual ERA converge.
I have toyed with the idea of a modified QoP plugging in league-average BABIP numbers for actual ones, as an alternate way of smoothing over fielding variations, but lack the energy to actually do it. But fielding-independent, while interesting and useful, is not quite the same as actual events simply averaged out, which I think is more revealing (especially as fielding will average itself out over time).

LA radio actually remembered it had a baseball team...
And did a parody interview with Manny Ramirez (was played as an aloof goofball by a white guy doing a stereotypical Latino accent) and they played the call of the home run… guh.
It’s only April doesn’t really apply here — it’s still a winnable game against a divisional foe. All this weekend proved is that the Dodgers are still the better team. Hopefully, the Giants won’t get stomped by the Pads in San Diego.
Also, screw the Sharks and their title aspirations. I suppose they can keep trying to get out of the first round after dominating all season and keep doing this year after year after year and maybe one year they’ll get lucky but, cripes, that’s gonna be painful and laughable to watch.

“A game we should win”
Well, it was a game we could win. The pitching was certainly good enough to win.
But a game where you can only muster one win hardly seems like a game that we should win.
If the Gs were up 7-0 in the 8th and then they go on to lose, then that’s a big loss. This? Not so much.
