Why Bochy was right...this time
by Grant Brisbee on Apr 29, 2010 2:50 PM PDT
Email
PrintSee, the thing about taking Tim Lincecum out of the game for Brian Wilson is…
Well, yeah. But it’s still a hot topic around the water cooler, so bear with me.
When Shane Victorino walked in the ninth inning, the Giants still had a 96.8% chance of winning the game. That’s assuming average players across the board of course – there’s no way to tweak the formula to account for Tim Lincecum or the ridiculous heart of the Phillies order. But even factoring those things in wouldn’t make a big difference. When a team has a three-run lead with one out in the ninth inning, that team wins about 95 times out of 100, whether it’s a tired starting pitcher, an All-Star closer, or a tub of slurry trying to close out the game.
If Bochy made the wrong strategic move, and that’s still a very debatable point, he might have lopped off 1% or so from that expected winning percentage. So the move that Bruce Bochy made shouldn’t be viewed strictly in terms of winning and losing. And Bochy didn’t bring in Wayne Franklin – he brought in a hard-throwing closer who has been pitching extremely well this season. The Giants were overwhelming favorites to win, whether Lincecum or Brandon Medders finished.
In that context, I want a manager who a) gives his ace a chance to finish the game, and b) doesn’t mess around if that ace shows any sign of fatigue. Because, hey, the game’s in the bag anyways. Cough. But when Lincecum got under four straight fastballs and walked a weenie he’d effortlessly dispatched all day, I wasn’t really worried about the game yet. I wanted him out of the game because he’s still a young pitcher. There’s no need to push him in that situation if you think he’s fatigued in any way. You don’t want a tired Tim Lincecum struggling through a 12-pitch at bat to Chase Utley in a game that’s almost impossible to lose. Cough.
I’m not trying to suggest that another ten pitches would have melted Lincecum’s labrum, but why make him throw pitches when he’s tired? For that extra 1% chance of winning? The risks might not be tangible, but there’s no reason to extend a young pitcher in a situation like that if you suspect he might be tired. Handling a young pitcher is always a balancing act – if you want to go the reducto ad absurdum route, you can argue that people who are overly concerned with fatigued pitchers should pull their pitchers after 40 pitches, just to make sure. People who freak out after 100 pitches are goofballs, and so are the people who think pitchers should pitch complete games because that’s what Speckled Eggs McGaffin used to do for the Superbas in 1887.
The middle ground is filled with context-loving folks who can all agree that unnecessary risks are to be avoided. And on a team that has a closer with a pulse, putting Lincecum through the ninth inning after his control raised a red flag would have been unnecessary. Maybe the health (or cumulative stamina) risk was minimal, but so was the chance that the Giants were in danger of losing.
Awful game. And I’m tired of thinking about it. But if I’m going to second-guess every decision Bochy makes, I can at least give him credit for the ones I agree with.

Bochy has to make a decision. He made a reasonable one.

yer darned skippy
just like I was. so very right.
Bochy made the right decision
Wilson is good, and Lincecum had just thrown 4 consecutive fastballs above the strike zone. It was reasonable to conclude that he was tired, and there was no reason to think that Wilson would not have been better than Lincecum for the rest of the inning.
The fact that it didn’t work out doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision.

delorean’s right, definitely a Bochy Has a Posse shirt.
There was no decision he could have made there that would have made everyone happy.
If he left TImmy in and he got hurt or gave up a homerun to the next batter… THAT would have been the wrong choice.
I still say I would have liked to see Timmy face one more batter – after he had received a “Son, get the out or you’re out.” lecture.
but meh… the Velez shit, and the bunt crap pisses me off more than the pitching decisions.

No, I think the Giants made the smart choice to lose the game. I’m really at odds with Philadelphia’s decision to win the game, though. That one’s pretty debatable.

Not that I’m a fan of his, but, in his defense, what could he say in this situation? There’s probably not a lot of higher-level thinking going on out on a baseball field and to recall a heat of the moment thing after just crashing into a wall at full speed would be tough for anyone — let alone someone apparently as dumb as Velez — to do.
I dunno. Maybe “Yeah, I fucked that one up.” Not, letting the wind be an excuse, and saying he was focused. Meh.
I just really despise him on this team.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
I mean, he’s never apologized before so why start now? The fact that he makes excuses only makes it easier to hate him being on this team. If he were to make a sincere apology I might actually start feeling sorry for him. Fuck that.

I also agreed with pulling him.
I am not sure he needed to go out for the 9th, but I was ok with that because of how he was pitching. After the walk I agreed it was time to come out for the various reasons mentioned previously.
Then some umpiring happened, then some ridiculously bad luck happened, then a HISTORICALLY TERRIBLE OUTFIELDER/SECOND BASEMAN happened.
Still mad about the loss, but gotta move on cause we really need to start winning the divisional games.

Yeah, I don’t know what the big deal is about pulling your pitcher with a three-run lead and an above average closer who hasn’t been worked to death already waiting in the wings. The game never should’ve gotten to Affeldt & Velez, but once it did, letting the game come down to Velez in the field was pretty indefensible. That said, this loss is on Wilson “Willie” Wilson, plain and simple.
Oh well, it’s over, I’ve moved on. I don’t think it was the right decision, but the decision didn’t lose the game. Wilson and Velez did.

Technically the move SHOULD have made sense, but if Bochy wanted Wilson to close out the game why didn’t he just send him out to start the ninth? I know he’s a professional athlete and all, but coming in to close out a game forced to pitch from the stretch isn’t fun. I don’t care if he’s an All-Star closer, I doubt Rob Nenn or Mariano Rivera were ever comfortable pitching from the stretch right off the bat (no pun intended). Bochy made the statistically right move by bringing Wilson in, but I don’t get why he sent Timmy back out when he was already pretty close to 100 pitches
split the difference?

the other thing to think about
that double he gave up was a total fluke. He jammed Werth and the bastard got lucky to pop it out of reach and land it fair. He also got lucky it skipped by Nate enough to get the third run in. It’s not like Wilson came in and balked in 2 runs or something. Other than walking Howard, he pitched pretty well.
I still think he should have either given WIlson the ninth to start or let Timmy get er done.
If you don't like Brandon Medders you're not a true fan.
Jon Miller’s call made it worse. It was eerily similar to Kuip’s call of Jose Cruz’s infamous dropped fly ball. “Werth hits a high fly ball down the right field line, Schierholtz racing over. It drops- FAIR BALL!!”

so I have to cross post my Olympic Stadium knowledge.
It was designed to be retractable, but it didn’t even have a roof at all until 10 years after the Olympics, and the retractability didn’t work until 1988, and then it worked very poorly. Not sure when the first game that they played open air after putting the roof on was.

Uh Oh, FSN has a show on the Brooklyn Dodgers….
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
in addition to what I said above
Grant’s right – we should have won the game no matter who was pitching – so to blame the loss on that decision is silly. It was bad luck to give up the lead, and the loss in extras was more bad luck combined with extreme suckitude on the part of Velez. Bochy’s truly questionable decisions came later in the game.
If you don't like Brandon Medders you're not a true fan.
Like a lot of us said
If this game results in a Velez DFA and/or option to fresno, it was all worth it.
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.

Bochy was wrong
But you are correct, Wilson fresh vs. Timmy after 100 pitches is at worst a slight downgrade (and likely an upgrade). At least in a vacuum. However, Timmy was on point all night long and Bochy’s process for the decision was all kinds of fucked up.
The really frightening thing, at least for me, is Bochy is willing to leave Timmy in last week for an extra inning when he didn’t have shit. Against the Cards, Timmy came into the seventh having thrown 99 pitches and obviously struggling all night. He walks the leadoff guy with a PH on deck and then the top of the order coming up (an amazingly similar situation). What does Bochy do? Leaves him in. TImmy struggled through the inning, getting out of it and throwing 120 pitches in total. Against the Phillies, with Timmy dominating, he won’t let him get the last two outs. Hell, part of the reason is probably his dumbass decision to leave him in needlessly long against the Cards.
Bochy fucked up twice here and it cost the Giants a game.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
If I remember correctly
Zito gave up a walk also in the 8th after dominating and Bochy pulled him for Romo.. Doesn’t learn from his mistakes
1) Those situations aren’t even close to comparable
2) I can think of plenty of instances of a pitcher giving up a 4 pitch walk in late innings with the lead and Bochy sending in a reliever with out anything going wrong. Nobody considers those to be mistakes.

I think the worst part is that they implausibly introduced them as people who have been there the whole time! Really! They’re super important!!! And even billed them as regulars and everything and then… did nothing with them except for like one scene until their centric episode.
I mean, if they’re going to be main-billed cast members at least DO SOMETHING WITH THEM.
That said, I’m glad they didn’t actually do anything with them because they were annoying (and Rodrigo Santoro was even strangely un-hot in it, I don’t know what it was.)

And since I’ve discovered the key to eliminating memories both good and bad (Don’t ever sleep!) I have no recollection what it was he did or didn’t do.

I'm late to the party here so this might well have been discussed, but...
…does anyone think that the mistake was not pinch-hitting for Timmy in the bottom of the 8th? If Borkghetti saw some sort of hidden double-secret sign that he was tiring and, knowing that Victorino, Utley, Howard, etc were coming up in the top of the 9th, when Nate led off with a single, would not the correct thing then be to PH for Timmy there?

I could agree a bit. If Timmy is on a short leash, lets be aggressive and get more runs.

A belated summation:
For once, Bochy’s pitching decisions were unexceptionable. He left Timmy in to hit because it looked like a lock and he wanted to get Timmy a CG. When the 9th started, it’s not so much that it was with a walk as that it was with a 4-pitch walk, and moreover (in my view) Timmy’s body language said “tired”. As has been noted, almost any pitcher on a major-league staff can close out a game with a 3-run lead and only 3 outs to get, even with a runner on first. Moreover, it is part of The Code of the West that when a starter has pitched well, you just do not allow him to reach a position where he might lose his W. Granted, tying run was only in the on-deck circle, so technically one more batter could have been seen; but with Timmy, it’s as much a matter of risking a needless Earnie as the loss of a W, and there was no reason on Earth not to make the move then.
What happened after was a series of misfortunes hard to blame on anyone, with a really, really dramatic exception: the use of Gino Velez. It is unclear what Velez has to do to make it any more manifest than it long has been that he is neither a major-league hitter nor a major-league fielder (at any position); for that matter, he’s also not a major-league base runner, speed or no.
Easily the disaster of the game was Bochy failing to give Velez the take sign with a 2-0 count. Eugenio Velez has a career-to-date walks rate of 5.5%, while he has struck out in 15.9% of his plate appearances; his career OBA is .298 and career BA is .259. This is a man you let swing away at 2-0 in a critical situation?
Yes, there were a lot of “turning points” in the game, not least of which was Velez’s shocking second misplay, but they all came down to physical deeds done or not done. But that no-take was a premeditated mental grotesquerie of awesome enormity.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Knowing Velez
It’s possible that Bochy did give him the take sign, and he swung anyway.

Why Bochy was very wrong and deserves criticism.
Although Bochy is a nice guy, and quite likeable, he was wrong, and he is wrong by his own standard. He let Lincecum hit in the bottom of the 8th with runners in scoring position. If he let Lincecum hit there and did not go to a regular position player to pinch hit, he signaled that he was ready to give up the better chance of scoring run, in order to leave Lincecum in the game. However, when Lincecum walked a batter on 4 pitches, and they were not that bad, he immediately took him out. The play to make, if he was ready to pull Lincecum, was to pinch hit for him and try to tack on some more runs, and let your reliever of choice start the ninth inning. Perhaps even going for some of your favorite righty lefty matchups, ala Felipe Alou. By the way, Affledt was terrible except against Howard. Bochy would not have been second quessed however, if the ump gave Wilson the strike he threw to get out of the game, only to see it called a ball. Once again the gmen get screwed by the umps.
Lincecum came up in a bunt situation
If he’s gonna call for the bunt, Lincecum can get it done as well as anyone on the bench. So there’s no real signal there.

You are 100% correct it was a bunt situation and even if it wasn't......
one could argue Timmy swings the bat as well as anyone they have on the bench…….now that’s fucking sad……….

Hoping for BowkerMania to get consistent playing time at AT&T Park
While my comment was tongue in cheek......I can tell you this....
There is no question in my mind that if Tim were to have spent as much time concentrating on hitting as Bowker has…he would be a superior hitter to Bowker.
In addition, I would have no doubt that Tim could play the outfield as well or better than Bowker with just a few weeks of practice…..Tim is simply an off the charts natural athlete with tremendous instincts for the game……sucks for Giants fans we have far too few of them on this roster.

Been there, done that . . . .
Bork let Timmy hit because he was hoping to get him a CG. He felt that they already had runs aplenty—which is not a stupid conclusion, all things considered—and CGs help in Cy Young voting.
When Timmy walked the leadoff man on four pitches—and looked tired doing it (which is my subjective opinion—Bork figured no point in needlessly risking another Earnie on Timmy’s ERA, and so went to the pen for a guy that even people here think is generally reliable (I’m not one of them, but that’s another story).
No contradiction, just a reasonable change in plan dictated by game circumstances.
Now the rest of what went on, apart from the pitching, well, got the T-Shirt, too.

Minor correction
He got the leadoff man to ground out. It was the second batter that he walked.

I blame Schierholtz for the loss
If he had the powers of that Deadman guy from the comic books and could have possessed Velez in the bottom of the 11th and got himself a 6th hit for the day, thus scoring himself and and Uribe? The Giants would be tied with the Padres right now.
