Post-game thread: Giants score runs, Wellemeyer pitches well, beers drink people

Dear Astros,Last year, the San Francisco Giants lost a game against Mike Hampton. Tonight, you lost a game against Todd Wellemeyer. We are now even and consider this matter closed.
Sincerely,
The San Francisco Giants
While that’s not entirely fair to Wellemeyer, it was just a wee bit unexpected to watch him pitch a gem, even if it was against a struggling Astros offense. The sinker was sinking, the slider was sliding, and the command was...commanding? Well, it wasn’t a complete abomination, at least. In fact, it was pretty good.
Wellemeyer is still Wellemeyer, and a good start against the Astros isn’t going to change that. But you can at least see the talent that intrigued Dave Duncan. For the first month of the season, I just thought Duncan, like, owed a favor to Wellemeyer’s sister, or something. Dude had no control and no stuff. It was like Shawn Estes with Kirk Rueter’s arm.
Tonight he looked like a pitcher who belonged in a major league rotation. With the upper minors bare, save for a wobbly Bumgarner, that’s a very, very good thing.
Also of note: Pablo Sandoval ripped an outside pitch into right field. That’s good. It was the best at-bat he’s had in weeks.
Also, also of note: Pablo was drilled in the foot and had to leave the game. That’s bad.
Also, also, also of note: The Giants scored more runs tonight than they’ll score off Mat Latos in his career. It was kind of fun.

See, this is exactly what I think, too. “Fuck, man, why couldn’t they have scored some of these runs last night? The aggressive baserunning (okay, well, when you get 1-hit, aggressive baserunning isn’t going to help all that much), the bloop singles, the gappers, those would all have been very helpful.” That’s immediately followed by “Why the hell can’t I just enjoy the win?” which is immediately followed by “Oh yeah, those MCC manthropes drilled this incessant hatred and cynicism into me.”

So what did we learn tonight?
These:
1. Todd Wellemeyer can’t pitch.
2. The Giants can’t score runs.
3. Andres Torres sucks, especially against righties.
4. Bengie Molina is a superstar who should not only bat fourth, but also third and fifth (at the same time). And don’t forget he’s The Man With the Golden glove.
5. This season is shot, all over.
6. Move over Ricky Henderson: Aaron Rowand is the new best leadoff man ever.
7. Nate Schierholtz is a faker; John Bowker should have had the job.
8. This team will go nowhere without FSanchez at second.
9. Aubrey Huff can’t catch a ball.
Just what the experts have said all along, yes?

Alternatively
1. The Astros are really, really, really bad.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
They’re not THAT bad. Decent pitching, decent lineup, just too old or too young to produce consistently. Berkman and Lee certainly aren’t a horrible middle of the order, Oswalt and Rodriguez are pretty good, and Lindstrom is solid. But all aging vets and kids means you can’t count on anyone to perform, so they do this thing where they go 0-8 then 10-2 then 0-8 again.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.

It happens. That doesn’t make them good.
GROUGTHINK ALERT

No, but it does indicate that they’re not bad. The Astros are rarely BAD. They are meh. Mediocre. Decent. Some years they lean towards bad, and some towards good, but they’ve been okay for quite a while now. That’s what happens when your owner refuses to rebuild and you don’t have the young, cheap talent to actually contend.

Are we thinking about the same Astros?
Last year they were 7 under .500 despite playing in arguably the worst devision in baseball. They had a 68-94 Pythagorean record. OPS+ of 90, ERA+ of 93. They were definitely bad. And they’ve gotten worse.

I don’t. In poker you don’t worry about money going to the weak player at the table. You consider that money on temporary loan because he is going to lose it back to the rest of the table.
Same thing here. The dodgers will finish better than the Padres after 162 games. I’d rather the Dodgers lose as many games as possible.

This isn’t poker, though. It’s baseball. The 88 Dodgers won the World Series. Of course our team is more comparable to them than the Padres are, but still, the Padres are not a horrible team. To this point, they have the best pitching in baseball. If they somehow keep it up all year, they will contend for the division title.

The thing is, sometimes teams have flukey seasons. Right now the Padres are probably a fluke, but they are definintely ahead of us in the standings. I guess there is a possibility that something horrible would happen in SoCal this weekend and take out both teams. That would be nice-ish sorta.

I think we all have this silly idea that someone in the FO will realize that the Giants aren’t handling the young talent all that well. So every Fred, Frandsen, Bocock etc… triumph is a dart in Sabean’s eye. I would doubt they are even paying attention, when have they ever?
Gotta do it, we all have to just remind ourselves of the pathetic use
of every player that was washed up with the giants and flourished or at least did somewhat better on a different team. Rajai Davis, Fred Lewis, what was the deal with Aardsma?
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
I think Fred is a special case from the others
Everyone else isn’t/wasn’t that good. Aside from Matt Palmer, fluke pitcher extraordinaire, and Frandsen and Bocock, who are bench players at best, Davis is probably not even a 2 WAR guy and Aardsma has had only one really good season, which was last season and full of balls being caught at the warning track (which was something the people at USSM and LL didn’t think would last, obviously).
