Post-game thread: Giants lose again

PrintThese are the kind of games that will happen when you don't have an offense.
Oh...you thought...I'm sorry. Look, Bengie Molina isn't a .330 hitter, Aaron Rowand isn't a .330 hitter, Nate Schierholtz isn't a .330 hitter, and Matt Downs isn't a .330 hitter. It's swell that they were doing so well, but that's not who they are. Maybe Pablo Sandoval is a .330 hitter, but not this month. This is a two-run team -- three runs when they're feeling frisky.
So what you have is a team that will live and die with their starting pitching. A shutout? Sure, the Giants will win those. A game in which the starting pitcher allows a single run? Well, unless it's Cain, the Giants have a decent chance of pulling a win out. But for the most part...
Bad offensive team is bad offensively. A few random hot streaks in April and May aren't going to change that. Remember the one guy we acquired who kind of, if you squinted, seemed like he could help the offense in the short-term? His wrist is filled with tapioca pudding, and those little nubby tapioca parts are all rubbing against the bone. Aubrey Huff seems like he could be a little better than Travis Ishikawa. That's worth, like, seventeen wins. Bang up job, front office.
The Padres are the speed and defense team that the Giants want to be, but they actually have players who can run from first to third without a break for buffalo wings at second.
Whatever. I'll be in the tub. And by "tub", I mean "drinking fifteen fingers of Maker's Mark."

Yeah, I know we were talking shit about the Padres lineup and rightfully so, but the Giants lineup really isn’t any better. And at least the Padres lineup has some speed.

Pretty much this,

two things though
I don’t think they have the stuff in their minors to entice SD
and I’m not real sure that they’ll do a knee jerk reaction to the slow start. I don’t think they are really suprised by it, actually. I think Theo knew there was a very good chance they’d be 3rd best this year.
Now, that might mean that they try to get something done as a rebuilding measure, but I still don’t see them overpaying for that.

Adrian Gonzalez has a 5.5 MM club option for 2011.
Pujols also has a club option for 2011, which pays him the same $16MM he got from 2008-2010.
Fielder…man, I’d hate to sign that guy long term. He is a FA this year though
If either of the other guys is available, it will be through trade. I cannot see how StL could trade Pujols. And A-Gon is so cheap, the only reason the Padres should trade him is if someone absolutely overpays with prospects and youngsters.

And even Carl Crawford will likely be a FA, but he will both cost too much and not really fit on the Giants.

Strasburg delivered another brilliant line for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday: 6.0 innings, no hits, no runs, one walk, seven Ks. His night ended after 80 pitches. Strasburg’s fastball was routinely 97-98 mph, per his usual. The evening’s most impressive strikeout may have been the inning-ender in the fifth, when he caught Michael Aubrey(notes) looking at a 3-2 curve.

Yeah, sure give that a shot.
But I think is the consensus is that having Molina batting cleanup stinks of failure. What was the overwhelming need in the off season? Middle of the order bats – and they got two. One is OK, the other is hurt. So now we are back to the same problem we had last year. Great.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my greatest fear this season is that the Giants will be just good enough to contend, then Sabean will pull the trigger on a crap deal at the deadline. Uhgg…

Well, at least we can laugh at the Phillies
The Phillies insisted Wednesday they weren’t trying to steal signs when bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught on camera peering through binoculars from the bullpen bench at Coors Field earlier this week.
Manager Charlie Manuel told The Associated Press that Billmeyer was simply watching Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz set up defensively Monday night.
FSN Rocky Mountain, the flagship broadcaster of the Colorado Rockies, showed Billmeyer using the binoculars to peer in on Colorado catcher Miguel Olivo while the Phillies were at bat in the top of the second inning.
It also showed a quick image of Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino in the dugout on the bullpen phone in the top of the second.

Nate hasn’t been showing the plate discipline he started the year off with, obviously. It’s entirely his fault, but shouldn’t Muelens be earning his paycheck and give Nate a talking to? Maybe he has and Nate has ignored it, but it seems like Nate has at least shown he can patient, so is there still hope he can regain that?

I'm officially done with Baggs
Torrealba is quite the Giant killer since he left the organization. He’s got a .323 average against them, with seemingly all his hits coming in RBI situations. And I’m sure he takes a lot of pride in that. Remember, Yorvit was not happy when the Giants traded for A.J. Pierzynski. (And soon, everyone else would know his glumness.) The Giants finally shipped him to Seattle in the deal that netted Randy Winn.
Sometimes, a player can quit on an organization, and no matter how talented he might be, you know that player is just not going to be productive if he stays. Often, this happens when the player senses that the organization doesn’t believe in them.
Anyway, I don’t believe Torrealba would have been successful had he stayed with the Giants. It’s the same reason I really don’t pay attention to the gripers who like to point out Fred Lewis’ productive stats with the Blue Jays.

We should test him. Come up with a list of people who it would be hard to connect to Fred Lewis failing with the Giants in the matter of 25 words, and then send it to him. See what he can do.

The whole fred lewis situation is just more blatant evidence that brain sabean is a arrogant moron, this evidence will pile up to massive proportions when velez is called back up soon and gets to start in left for the rest of the season.

Scott Hairston
Remember when he hit a game-winning homerun against the Giants one night, then hit a homerun in his first at bat the next night? I hate Scott Hairston.
About lineups:
One of the major mistakes organizations make is to build around the idea of 8 or 9 guys (depending on league) who are It, with every other position player a supporting-cast character actor. Teams that do not run out of steam in the late days of stretch runs are teams that have given everyone both fair playing time and some rest. Of course, most teams’ problems are complicated by the fact that they have trouble enough selecting even 8 or 9 good position players.
An optimum team needs 4 outfielders who can play an average of 3/4 time each with no drastic falloff when X is in the lineup, 3 middle infielders who each play 2/3 time (same proviso), a couple of catchers who split duty 50-50, with each also getting some time at 1B or 3B, and 2 or 3 corner infielders who play maybe 2/3 time each. Obviously, there is some fine-tuning to that broad concept, depending on many factors, from positional versatility to handedness, but that’s the general idea. On any given day, the line up needs to reflect the particular men playing: it is not (or should not be) a fixed template into which men get plugged depending on which position they’re playing that day.
Right now, the outfiled 4 are Schierholtz, Rowand, Torres, and either DeRosa or Bowker (an issue that is a thread unto itself); the middle infield is FSanchez, Renteria, and Uribe; the catchers are (hold on here) Whiteside and Posey; and the corner guys are Huff, Sandoval, and maybe some plug-in time from Posey and/or Bowker. That’s 11 guys, so there’s room for 1 or 2 more guys whose use goes beyond the scope of an already long post.
Notice who does not fit here: can there ever have been a better moment to trade BM, with his stock soaring? Who would you raher have mentor Posey about defense: BM or Whiteside? C’mon Bochean, get with the program.

If only. One problem with that is that stupidity and arrogance are incurable, which means we will be saddled with Bochean until they die of old age, trophyless

Well,
Someone who, for whatever reason, needs a catcher, is realistically in competition, and can be dazzled by a .341 batting average from a Gold-Glove veteran. Whyever assume that Sabean is unique in his ways?

So it sucks that we can’t score any runs (again), but meh. Not time to panic yet. Until Velez gets called up and is an every day player

Boring!
I can’t watch when Giants pitchers do not throw strikes. Cain didn’t and it had a tremendous impact on the entertainment value of this game.
Ironically, Cain didn’t have a problem throwing 0-2 strikes. That wasn’t boring; that was stupid.
It happens. Cain’s a very good pitcher and normally doesn’t look as bad as he did last night.
(The reason this post isn’t about how terrible the offense is? That isn’t exactly a surprise to anyone. We knew it would be this way. We knew but the Giants GM, manager, KNBR callers, Baggs and Schulman didn’t. LOL ALL THOSE GUYS!)

yea, true that, i just don’t understand it, i mean, the giants pitchers are either ON or they’re not quite as good as they were the last start, Cain this year just isn’t looking quite as sharp as he used to be last year in my opinion, when i watch him play
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Cain has traditionally started slow. And he’s not even starting that slow this year. But every year in April and May people are FREAKING OUT about him. And then his k-rate goes up in the second half and we all calm down. He’ll be fine. Dude is a very good pitcher.

Nah. Zito was going to have a bad game eventually, and Cain occasionally loses control of his fastball. That’s just what you get with those two guys. With Cain, you get it significantly less often, but you still get it.

Yeah, I am normally uspet at the end of Cain starts about how well he pitched with nothing to show for it
This game I was upset about his lackluster pitching. But as you said: It happens. Pitchers will have bad games.
As far as those 0-2 strikes, I cannot remember. Is that where Molina was calling them? Or was Cain missing his spots?

Some have questioned Sanchez’s urgency to return. A team source said Sanchez is well aware of skepticism that he will succeed and fears that by returning before he is 100 percent ready he will not be able to provide the offense expected of him.

Of course not
First they call him and practically order him to the field. And all the fans on facebook and sfgate and the mlb.com site are all saying things along the vein of
“Freddy comes back soon, then we will be fine”
Boy will they be in for it when he comes back and either a) doesn’t hit (lol rust) b) reinjures himself due to a forced accelerated rehab or c) Both a and b (jackpot option)
The only upside in option c is that it could be used as more leverage in the possible discipline or even removal of Brian Sabean. (wishful thinking).
