PrintIn two games against the Padres this year, Jonathan Sanchez has pitched 15 innings, allowing four hits, four walks, and two runs while striking out fifteen. He has lost both games.

I’m starting to think this offense isn’t going to lead the league in batting average this year. Hopefully, this is the most humiliating loss of the year, but I'm not going to put money on that.

You wouldn’t be a little pissed if all that kept a Giants pitcher from a perfect game was an infield hit? And add in that the Padres haven’t had anything like it before. And add in that it’s against a team that no-hit them a year ago. I’d be a little pissed.

-Q: Regardless of the issues of blame or whatever, was DeRosa accurate in saying the first surgery didn’t accomplish what it was supposed to?
-HEAD TRAINER DAVE GROESCHNER: His tendon is an issue right now. It’s flipping. And we’re treating it. Won’t be treated surgically right now. We’re going to treat it conservatively and, like I said, give him the next few days and go from there.
-Q: What are you basing the decision on over the next few days?
-GROESCHNER: We’re going to make sure he feels good before we test him and test him… swinging the bat. He’s got to feel good first.
-Q: How aware was the team of the possibility that this could flare up again?
-GROESCHNER: Anybody could get hurt on any given day.
-Q: But he had a history.
-GROESCHNER: Sure. All these guys have histories of everything. We’re aware of it. But it’s something we research thoroughly. This unfortunately happened. But we’re playing baseball. These guys are going to get hurt. Anybody could get hurt.
-Q: Just to be clear, Mark is saying at some point he needs another procedure. Does the team share that opinion?
-GROESCHNER: We’re on the same page, Mark and I and the doctors. He’s frustrated. May have another one? Yeah he might.
-Q: But not definite?
-GROESCHNER: Uhh, there’s a good chance. Right now, it’s the season. We’re going to try to get him playing again.

He's still been a pretty big positive.
It’s unreasonable to expect Posey to hit a .800 OPS coming out of the minors (see Matt Weiters, another highly touted catcher prospect with great minor league numbers).
I don’t think Posey, at least, at this time, would be an offensive upgrade over Molina. And that’s what we need.

So really the issue was May 15th to August 7th when Bengie put up an OPS of .598 (.252 OBP / .346 SLG)
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
I don't get this line of thinking
Wieters, another highly-touted catcher, didn’t perform up to the high level of expectations in his first real time up.
That automatically means that Posey, a lower-rated but still highly-rated catcher, will perform worse than Wieters?
This only holds true if you think that Wieters hit at his true-talent level last season (I think Wieters’ true talent right now is better than an average hitter), and you believe that Posey will hit at his from the moment he gets called up. Add in the fact that Wieters plays in the AL East. I just don’t see what this comp accomplishes aside from showing us that Posey won’t automatically be our savior (which I don’t think anyone believes he will be).
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
What would you say to the proposition that Weiters didn’t hit to his true talent level because he was brought up too quickly? And that doing the same to Buster would be counter productive?
Also, I think there are definitely people who present bringing Posey up as the cure to the Giants’ offensive woes. Why else would one clamor so stridently to bring him up? Or suggest retarding his development as a catcher in order to get his bat in the lineup?

He is . . .
. . . when there is solid cause to believe it is luck-driven and not a reflection of innate ability. When it is luck, it can go away with the next plate appearance. Long-term results reflect innate ability; short-term results do not. Nor do streaks and slumps have a momentum: they stop as quickly, as suddenly, as good and bad runs of dice do.

Comment and a question
First, I wish the guy had thrown a perfect game. Humiliation is a helpful thing at times. Now my question: Muelens PUBLICALLY stated Sandoval is tired. Muelens is the hitting instructor. Doesn’t it make sense to give PAblo a day off. let him relax, charge his batteries, ease his mind etc.
NAAAA. Just keep throwing him out there while he swings late on average fastballs thrown right down the middle. And then K’s on a ptich two feet outside.
But hey – I guess the Pads are the 60’s Dodgers., and Richard and Latos their version of Koufax and Drysdale.
As for DeRosa. Let him have the surgery. Cause he ain’t going to be able to play with a limp wrist.
Seriously, WTF
Day game after a night game? Play him like Bonds if it’s gonna help.

It’ll be funny when the Giants front office paints Mark DeRosa as NOT A GAMER for not wanting to play injured after spending the whole offseason playing up what a gamer he is.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
They’ve already said as much. From Bochy:
The tendon is flapping a little bit. It goes with pain tolerance or as much as he can handle. Now if it gets to the point where he can’t handle it, sure, that could be our only option.
In other words, if DeRosa can’t play through the pain, it’s because he’s a baby and he’s not a good teammate and shit like that.

Adoptive parent of Kevin Frandsen, now stopping gaps in...Anaheim?
They really do not want him to have the surgury and are treating the 15 day DL as a last resort. Read this
-Q: Seems like DeRosa mentioned to the media that he might need another surgery before he mentioned it to the Giants. Did that catch the team by surprise?
-BOCHY: Well, I’d say a little in fact that with the plan that we have and that’s to give this nerve a couple days to calm down.
Now, Mark is frustrated. I mean, this guy has lot of pride and gives you everything he’s got. And getting off to a slow start, being hampered by the wrist and the inflamed nerve, that’s something that could be an option.
We know that, if it doesn’t come around.
But right now, the route we’re taking is give it a little bit of a time, see if this thing will calm down, and if it does, we’re better off having him around, instead of the other way.
-Q: Can it go much longer than the weekend?
-BOCHY: I’d say we’re going to have to know something by the end of the weekend, Sunday, exactly where we’re at. Not that we’ll have to make a move.
He may need to take some time. That’s another option. We understand that. But our hope is he will be able to swing the bat the way he can and feel comfortable doing it. But if not, he may need a 15-day break.

Rather, why must this FO ruin my team? When will Sabean be fired? Sure Bochy isn’t the greatest, but Sabean has got to go. The string of broken down vets signed to extensions is embarrassing :(

Bengie isn't part of the solution.
He’s not that good of a hitter (current stats are not sustainable for him), and his defense is getting worse every year.

You have to laugh, or you'll cry:
-Q: Is Posey an option right now?
-BOCHY: I’ll say this: I know Buster’s playing fairly well down there or really well. But right now, this is the group of guys we have.
We’re a little banged up, missing some bats, some right-handed bats. That hurt us in this series, with D-Ro and Edgar has been swinging good… Of course Sanchez not here.
But the kids, I’ll say this, Downs, he’s been giving some good at-bats. We’re trying.
Kawakami’s comments:
It still might not be Buster Posey Time for the Giants, which I actually understand, if not at all agree with.
If the manager is reluctant to play him, why would Giants management burn up crucial Posey service-clock time by calling him up now only to see him spend four or five days on the bench?
I think Posey probably should’ve been up all along and given spot time at first base and catcher and I think he’d probably be one of their better hitters right now.
But I just don’t think Bochy’s in the mood for that. Bengie Molina, Eli Whiteside and Aubrey Huff are just too important to Bochy, even with the Giants struggling badly to make solid contact.

My Son, fourth outfielder extraordinaire.
My rule for the 2010 Giants: Everyone with an OPS over .800 gets a pass.
They won’t just give him away, though. We’re talking MadBum.

My rule for the 2010 Giants: Everyone with an OPS over .800 gets a pass.
But that’s old analysis. Carrasco and Donald are both doing very well in Triple-A, and Knapp could end up being a steal (he has no 2010 stats because Mahoning Valley’s season hasn’t started yet).
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
In fact, now that I remember, the folks in the Cleveland organization actually considered Knapp to be the top piece in the trade—-and for great reason, dude has an 11+ K/IP rate.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
I was wrong
It looks like the Phillies traded their 2-3-4 prospects.
But I remember that Drabek was the Phillies equivalent of MadBum – the Halladay holdup came about because the Phillies considered him untouchable, but the Indians were fine going without him. I think MadBum:Drabek.
We might have to trade the Indians some top-5 prospects, but we could certainly hold MadBum and Posey (of course)
My Son, fourth outfielder extraordinaire.
My rule for the 2010 Giants: Everyone with an OPS over .800 gets a pass.
I would do MadBum for Choo
I just don’t think the Indians would.
Hence Fred and Frandsen to shore up their bench for the next few seasons Bowker and one or two middling (C quality I guess) prospects.

Ralphie says something similar to that in a Simpson’s Valentine episode. Well actually I think it’s written on his Valentine card “I choo-choo choose you!”

Bengie Molina is hitting and Eli Whiteside has a great rapport with Jonathan Sanchez. So there’d be one start behind the plate per week, tops, for Posey.
What about first base? Well, Aubrey Huff might be the Giants’ most productive hitter right now.
Ah, but there could be another option. If you see Huff taking fly balls in the outfield, you’ll know the Giants are serious about exploring it.
Yep, put Huff in left field and let Posey play first base three or four days a week.

It's like this:
The career stats for the Giants batters suggest that the team would end up scoring about 720 runs. (That is based on the current allocations of playing time). Winning the NL West has taken, averaged over the past 3 seasons, 90 wins. Let’s say, then, that to be seriously competitive this year would take 10 wins over average (that is, 91). It takes about a 10-run difference between runs scored and runs allowed to swing one game in the W/L column, so to win 10 extra, one needs an R/OR differential of about 100 runs. Thus, the team would need to allow not over 622 runs. The average for unearned runs is a fairly stable 0.25 run/game, or about 40, so the staff needs to allow roughly not over around 580 earned runs. That, in turn, is a staff ERA of 3.58.
So, if we want to round off, finish the year with 720 runs scored and an ERA of 3.60 and you have a good chance of being the division winner. The 720 looks reachable (the present rate of scoring pro-rates out to 729). Can the staff finish at 3.60? Hey, it’s 3.08 right now; sure, they’re a bit over their heads, but that’s an awful lot of slack, half a run on the ERA.
Despite occasional throwaways like this one, this team is actually playing awfully good baseball, and the best part of it is that the career stats all suggest that it is quite sustainable. Chins high, for’ard march.

It's hard to remember...
…after this pitiful series, that this is the same team that swept the Marlins a week ago and then played three solid games in NY. It’s true, they have been playing good baseball against teams not based in Southern California.

They’ve never pitched a no-hitter (one of three teams not to throw one).

i LOVE watching him hack away, but he looks overmatched and slow and LARGE. of course he could catch fire this weekend and all is normal, but im freaking out a little…

Well, so far . . .
. . . while he’s being pitched up a lot, it really doesn’t look like the league has made some radical discovery. Basically, he’s swinging at and missing or fouling off pitches he used to drive, so it’s very likely just a matter of fatigue (mixed with some bad luck—his BABIP is well off his priors), not something new he can’t handle.

And on another topic:
For those who have seen the FanPost “Whiteside, Molina, and CERAs”, I finally found all the by-catcher splits data. For the pitchers currently on the staff, normalized for IP, Molina’s ERA is 1.16 runs higher than Whiteside’s; it is higher for 10 out of the 13 pitchers. Follow the link for full stats. (And I said a 0.25 run difference would justify him. Wow.)

I've almost had it
I’m almost at the end of my rope with this sad-ass excuse for a big league lineup that can’t hit it’s way out of a paper bag. Or as Tommy Lasorda said about Bevacqua “can’t hit water if he fell out of a f****** boat!”
Get someone who can hit and is healthy and not over 35 years old. Why not Dye? WTF do they have to lose? A few million that they are wasting on Sanchez??

But why quote Tommy Lasorda if you’re not going to do it in a way that makes him look bad?
Also:

True. I meant to say (except for Dye). Desperate times!
Sorry that my emotions for Tommy have softened over the years. At least he cared about winning and had some fire, which is something I don’t see in these Giants.

It's all about Panda slumping
the rest of the players are interchangeable character actors, a bunch of league-average-or-a-little-below hackers. The stars of this movie are Timmeh and Panda. If one of them doesn’t perform at a high level, the Giants are a .500 team. If they both do well, and the bullpen stabilizes, the Giants will win the West.
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
Dear assholes: doing drunk donuts on residential streets in the middle of the night would be bad enough without the repeated property damage you keep causing, which would be bad enough without your continued insistence on fleeing the scene in your newly fucked up vehicle. Stop being fucking dumbasses and start paying for these god damned repairs to my girlffriend’s car.
