Post-game thread: Zito does it again

PrintAlternate title: "Even the Giants can hit a belt-high sinker..."
If Cardinals fans are known for being some sort of laboratory-pure breed of baseball fan, if Phillies fans are known for booing sick orphans just because, and if Padres fans are known for being Greg and Peter from Chula Vista, it’s time for Giants fans to be known for something. My contribution: Giants fans never booed the ever loving crap out of Barry Zito. And I’m not writing that to be flip. In most other cities, three seasons and $60M in, Zito wouldn’t be able to balk a runner over without hearing a cascade of boos.
Giants fans were frustrated, sure. A little disgusted at the situation, maybe. Always a little snarky, at least around these parts. And there were starts where Zito left to a chorus of boos; I don’t mean to rewrite history. But it seems like everyone was just waiting for a stretch like this -- a downright Oaklandian string of starts -- just to support Zito again. The "Ba-rry! Ba-rry!" chants do just roll off the tongue, for whatever reason. It’s as if we’ve been practicing them for a decade and a half, or something. Maybe Bizzaro-Zito will wait until August
Hands up if you saw St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Colorado on the docket and started mumbling disconcerting thoughts out loud. Maybe, just maybe...

Brian Wilson tweaked a groin in BP and that’s why he didn’t come in for the save. Team will reevaluate tomorrow.

Bochy confirms he's been looking for an excuse to install Molina in cleanup since opening day
“I talked to Huff and Mark. Today I’m going to tweak it a little bit,” Bochy said. “Bengie gives us a right-handed bat between Pablo and Huff. He did a good job there last year. I’ve been looking at this all month. I thought about it on the day off and I’m going to tweak it.”
1. .285 OBP is doing a great job for the Giants last year.
2. He’s been thinking about doing this the whole month. We’re still in April. That means he’s been wanting to do this since opening day.

then I say, he’s ok with me. Posey can wait.

There’s a huuuuge difference between Molina playing on the team and Molina batting clean-up.
And also, Molina’s defense has gotten kinda crappy. I’m sure the developing pitchers would prefer someone who could block pitches.

Sixth is actually the best spot for him. If you bat him seventh or eighth and he gets on base, the pitcher can’t bunt him over. Of course I’d rather him hitting there and killing one run rallies than batting cleanup and killing big innings. I was actually relieved last night when he popped out with first and second nobody out. I was that sure he was going to hit into a DP.

Bochy confirms he's been looking for an excuse to install Molina in cleanup since opening day
Molina and Huff hitting 4-5? Ouch. Well, Huff will strike out some, but Molina… “good contact hitter”, i.e. “double play machine.”
It’s REALLY amusing to me how Uribe is a #7 hitter according to Bochy while Molina is a cleanup guy. Their numbers this season and throughout their career have been as identical as two players could be—except Molina is older (AND WISER GAIZ VETREN RBIZ COUNT 4MOAR) while Juan Uribe is still in his prime.

I have a problem accepting a stat
…that’s penalizing a pitcher for not giving up HRs.
I’ll side with Kruk and say that Zito’s location, movement and mixing of speeds is making it hard for hitters to square the ball up.
Like bondslegend said, he doesn’t look like a pitcher that’s going to start giving up gopher balls left and right.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
Zito is a flyball pitcher who was prone to it throughout last season, particularly early on. It’s more like the stat is penalizing him for not getting beaten, since it’s basically saying that he SHOULD be giving them up. It’s why I have mixed feeling about a lot of sabermetric stats… they don’t take into account mixing pitches or pitch selection, or many of the finer points of what makes a pitcher successful. Only what happens when the ball is put in play.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Well, it’s not penalizing him for not giving them up. It’s saying that, given his flyball rate, he should have given up more than he has.
That said, I’m not a big fan of xFIP so I’m not going to try too hard to defend it.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
My problem with xFIP is that Giants pitchers tend to give up a lower HR/FB% than most other staffs. It’s likely a function of the park, but it is what it is. You can’t just assume 10% when, in reality, a lower percentage of fly balls go for homers at AT&T.
Thing C
I guess it makes sense to use it if you’re a fan of another team thinking about trading for/signing a Giants pitcher, but if we’re talking about someone who’s likely to pitch the rest of the year (or the next several years), I don’t think one should punish the player for playing at AT&T.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
The whole point of stats like FIP and tRA is to strip out conditions such as park, defense, luck..etc.
What Zito’s xFIP is saying : “based on limited sample size on Barry Zito and how other players have done in the past with similar stats in the past, we believe Barry Zito should regress to the mean to this level of performance once he starts giving up home runs.”
Once more data becomes available, xFIP will adjust as compensate “oh, I see he is maintaining his performance now, let me adjust my regression model.”
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW
I like park-adjusted FIP

I remember looking over just as he came out of the stands and was tackled in the Giants bullpen. One guy had him pinned down and it almost looked like he was in a headlock. It just stayed that way for over a minute until police came in from the left field gate. He was squirming around for a bit until they finally got him in cuffs and got him out of there, to a chorus of boos. He appeared to be yelling back to the fans as he was led away.

I still didn’t like him much coming into the season, but he has one me over in a BIG way. He’s probably my second favorite position player now (behind Sandoval). And if Schierholtz keeps playing like he has, he may just overtake him, something else I never would have forseen happening. Zito good, Schierholtz and Uribe productive. As someone else said, it’s a brave new world…

I hate all the touchy-feely non-stats stuff
But am I the only one that thinks that Torres knows how to be a backup, ready at a moments notice, kind of player; while Bowker needs to know that he has a secure job in which he can get comfortable and not worry about losing it?
We tend to dismiss this type of thing, but human behavior is part of the skillset that leads to the outcomes (numbers), and while I think Bowker has a higher ceiling than Torres, he just doesn’t appear to be able to touch it, which if true, is really unfortunate for him, the Giants, and us. I would still like to see him given ample time to succeed or fuck up, but I don’t think that is going to happen with Nate and his .436 BABIP (oh, and LOL people who want to see him bat leadoff).

Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.
I was in favor of keeping him in
Dude has been pitching with a set of Giant brass balls.
He earned the right to get back out there and I would hope there’s enough trust between Bochy and his starters that they’ll be honest if asked how they’re feeling.
For all the shit Bochy gets around here and all the questionable lineups, I very much like the way he handles pitchers. My guess is it went something like this:
- He and Rags discussed how Zito was looking in the 7th
- He or Rags asked Bengie how Zito looked
- He or Rags asked Zito how he felt and if he had enough left in the tank to go back out there
He put him back in there, but had the bullpen ready to warm up on a moment’s notice.

The Marlins will be falling all over themselves to do that!
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
the Marlins are a terrible defensive team. All teams want a good hitting team however pitching and defense wins games
Sure, I’ll buy that they might want to upgrade defensively
…I don’t think Freddy Sanchez and his two gimp knees are the droids they’re looking for.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Hanley has been average-ish at SS the last two years, I don’t think they need to move him. He’s off to a poor start defensively this year, mind you, but SSS.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I have watched portions of a few of their games. Terrible defense. Move Ramirez to 3b, 2b OF. They need a solid defender at SS. Uggla is not solid. Cantu is not solid. etc
There’s no question they are a bad defensive team. But they would be better off replacing Uggla and Cantu (two waaaay below-average defenders) than they would be replacing Hanley.
Though moving him to third or second and getting a plus plus defensive shortstop could help.

Is it just me or does Zito give the worst damn interviews of all time?
For all I care, he can punch the interviewer in the face or start licking the camera… So long as he continues to pitch like this, I’m good! I’ll take a sub-1.00 WHIP any day!
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
He acts gunshy in interviews
Like he’s afraid of saying anything wrong. I might feel that way too after everything I’ve been through over the last couple of years.
