Post-game thread: Cain finally gets some run support, Giants win
by Grant Brisbee on May 1, 2010 3:53 PM PDT
Email
PrintIn the 76th game he started in 2009, on July 20th, Bengie Molina took his sixth walk of the season. In Molina's 18th game of 2010, he equaled that total, and his walk today led directly to a run.
Juan Uribe has seven walks this year, a total he didn't reach until July 7th of last year. Nate Schierholtz took 138 at-bats to reach seven walks last year, but did so in just 49 at-bats in 2010.
The sample sizes are small -- too small to make definitive statements, for sure -- but the trend sure is nice. The Giants came into today with a 8.0 walk rate, which is still lower than the league average, but much better than the 6.5% rate than last year. It's early, but maybe it's not bad idea to brush up on just how we can recognize Hensley Meulens for his work.
The Giants welcomed three very good teams into Mays Field this past week, and they took the series from all three. Fantastic.
Also, with this win, the Giants have improved to .500 in games in which the starting pitcher only allows one hit. Excelsior!

I don't like this picture
Namely because Scott Tenorman turned out to be Cartmans half-brother. Thus, if we’re the Giants… and Dingerz is Scott Tenorman… than The Giants and the Rockies are half brothers.

WRONG!
This is a Giants forum, not a South Park forum. Giants spoilers are expected here (for those of us that aren’t religiously checking the score anyway. With primetime TV, some preface to the discussion is common courtesy so people can skip over it, especially for a show like South Park where a lot of people watch it online.

Probability-wise, what’s more likely, that the Giants scored six runs in a Matt Cain start, or that this entire game was an elaborate radio-only hoax?
I’m not entirely sure.

I think the culture in America is a bit different
Most Korean girls I’ve met have had something done. Whether it is a simple procedure to produce double eyelid or something far more extensive like shaving your cheeckbone, it is socially acceptable and commonplace to have plastic surgery.
I know a girl who had a boob job / nose job combo when she went back to Korean 2 years ago. She looks great, and there isn’t anything wrong with that.

BM is batting .344; the Giants were, coming into today, projecting to 112 wins (and now presumably more). Anyone who thinks either of those numbers sustainable, ask me about this bridge I have for sale.
Also, consider that old chestnut about mixed emotions being the sight of your mother-in-law driving over a cliff in your brand-new Cadillac. If this team does reasonably well this season, Mr. Bowtie will offer Sabean a lifetime contract, with a possibility of extension if they can find a talented medium.

We don’t want the Giants to be bad so they’ll fire Sabean. We want them to fire Sabean because he made the Giants bad. The pleasure of the Giants playing well far, far outweighs any spite over Sabean getting credit, whether deserved or not.

And I hate the FOX blackout rule. I hate that we are forced to watch the game they give us. I remember when NBA and NHL had regional games, NBA League Pass and NHL Center Ice would black out the game shown in your area and the other regional game would be available on the package. That is the way it should be. We should be allowed to see the other games this scheduled on FOX.

I really don't think Velez will go
Al Davis called Jamarcus Russell a “great player” in his lane kiffin press conference. That’s why Russell is still with the Raiders. He can’t slap himself in the face like that.
Sabean called Velez “cornerstone”, like, 2 weeks ago. Again, he can’t slap himself in the face. He’ll give Velez every chance until he does something good, and say “See, a cornerstone! Back to the AAA with you, Bowker.”
Velez will be here all year. Ishikawa or Bowker will be gone.

man, i’m pretty sure everyone hates him here
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
I don’t “hate” him. I just think he needs to find a new line of work. A major league clubhouse is not the place for someone who just can’t seem to retain a grasp on basic things like getting to balls, not getting picked off etc… etc… He’s a frustrating player because he seems to repeatedly make the same damn mistakes.
or at least let him figure shit out in AAA AGAIN!!!! i mean, let’s be honest, he has good speed, an off and on bat, he has the tools to be somewhat of an ideal player in the league, but has never actually put it together, since his defense is subpar
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Leave him in AAA. I don’t think he’ll ever “get” it. He has speed, but that’s it. If he hasn’t learned the game yet (and he hasn’t), he’s not going to. Stop wasting roster space on him, and find a good alternative.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
we could say the same thing about Bowker
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
no
Bowker is 26. That is significant.
Bowker has been better and younger at comparable levels of the minors than Velez. That could mean something.

look, i agree, fact of the matter is, Bowker hasn’t really done much either, has he? i mean, i guess i could understand the Ishikawa thing, where he’s still on the roster because he’s a defensive liability, and one of the more polished first baseman in the league, i just wished he could have fixed the hitting issues

The difference is that Bowker doesn’t look mystified by the game of baseball.

The other differnce is Bowker has less negitives about him and the manger tends to use those negitives less.
The best example of the miss use of Velez is on the 4/28th game. The proper place to use Velez would have been in the bottom of the 6th. It is a 1-1 game with 1 out and Molinia get a single. You lift the slow footed Molinia for Zorak and proceed from there. That puts Velez in a position were his skills can benefit the team the most and hurt the team the least. A similar choice was there in the bottom of the 7th as well save it was with 2 outs instead of 1. Instead HHIEEAD in his wisdom viewed 2 late innings( thus high leverage for any defensive miscue ) of OF play more useful.
It seems time and again Bruce manages the late innings with the assumption his lineup will get him at least 1 more run inside the next 3-6 outs and that is pure Folly with this type of a club. It is also Folly in this era of baseball when the better clubs usually have at least a pair of very good relief pitchers in their ‘Pen.
Threat level that the 2010 Pads finish with more wins than the 2010 Giants is currently at - 25%

I heard that agent Ned is pretty low on Kemp

Proud adopted parent of the ball dudes, who have grounded into 109 fewer double plays than the Giants.
Kemp's trade value is in the tank
He’ll have to throw in Kershaw too
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
With Torres on the team though, once Rowand comes back, Velez is redundant even as a utility player.

If my team is someone like 2010 Royals or Astros look to be, the 2008 Giants, the Priates in recent years I can see the reason to take a flier on him. if you team is looking to loss 85+ games while the 25 man and upper minors look rather thin or you have a good prospect you don’t want to rush Velez is a gamble that makes some sense to try. If he keeps one doing what he has he a cheap place holder. If he gets it togetherr you flip him midseason of almost anything you can get in trade.
I do agree though Velez shold not be on the type of team teh 2010 Giants looks to be for more then 2-3 weeks at a time.
Threat level that the 2010 Pads finish with more wins than the 2010 Giants is currently at - 25%
What's frustrating
Is that we have 14 position players… but no backup SS right now, yet 7 OF’s. Someone like Kevin Frandsen (who can actually play all the IF positions) sure would be nice. Ishikawa is just redundant.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Absolutely not. I know a lot of people do not care about team chemistry but it’s important. Guillen is a wreak in the clubhouse. there’s a reason no one took a chance with him.

Per Steward, via Baggs:
I did some quick math after the game and determined that the Giants’ starting staff now has a major-league leading 2.47 ERA. But get this: remove Wellemeyer’s numbers and the Big Four is 11-2 with a 1.83 ERA (26 earned runs, 127 2/3 innings). That’s flat-out phenomenal.

How long has Cain been throwing that tailing fastball to lefties that starts off the plate and breaks back to the inside corner (i.e., the “Maddux pitch”)?
It looked pretty nasty, didn't it?
He got all his Ks with the fastball. Let us hope that Cain is starting to hit his stride (he usually does around May anyway).

“Men will willingly change their ruler in the hope that they will fare better, a hope that leads them to take up arms against their old ruler. But in this they are deceived, because, as they invariably discover, their lot under a new ruler is inevitably worse.”
Does this apply to sabean and baseball teams in general????

that it was written while he was exiled in florence after the republican government of piero soderini was ousted by the medici family and that he wrote “The Prince” from which that quote comes in order to gain favor with the medici, but it ended up not working

I’m reading that he dedicated the book to one Medici prince, who died when the book was about to be printed, so he hastily rededicated to another Medici prince.

Wasn’t it just like two days ago that Bochy said Nate would have to tear it up for a month before he stopped hitting 8th?

I don't care what anyone says.
I’m glad to have Rowand back in the lineup.
At the top? meh.
If he goes 0-4 today? I’ll bitch about him tomorrow.
Where's Perry?

By the way, it’s Little League day at the yard and Jeremy Affeldt just told a couple thousand kids that the Giants will sweep the Yankees in the World Series. Mark it down.

I have Croix de Candlesticks older than you.

I don’t mind us failing to sweep the Cardinals and Phillies, but they need to WIN NOW against the Rockies. Basically, I want them to regret ever having won the Spilbourghs game.
Please hit better, Mark DeRosa.
LOL FRED LEWIS 2 RUN HR

Fred Lewis has 3 RBI today.
Bringing his season total to 5.
He’s now tied with Whiteside and Bowker, and he’s ahead of Torres, Schierholtz, Ishikawa, and Downs.

It’s going to be fun for me to compare Fred’s RBI to our guys’ at the end of the year.

Man. So, how long do I give Ben Sheets before just cutting bait on him completely?

You are a cruel person
Turning Sheets into a bait cutting table just because he is pitching poorly.

Just give him 3 seasons and 126 million dollars.
He’ll bounce back.
