Post-game thread: Giants beat Padres, cause more heart palpitations
by Grant Brisbee on May 18, 2010 11:27 PM PDT
Email
PrintIt’s easy to overstate the importance of this game. C’mon. It’s May. So I’ll just note that this was the most important game in the history of San Francisco sports. Andres Torres > Dwight Clark. Matt Downs > Joe Montana. Don’t form an opinion on that statement just yet. Let it sink in. It’s empirically true, so don’t fight it.
If you’re hoping for more of a post-game recap than that, please note that I had to scrap seventeen different versions before the game was over.
Finally, finally, finally, the Giants were the team that had more bloops, dinks, and dunks. Finally, finally, finally, the Giants were able string together two-out hits. Finally, finally, finally, our shouldn’t-be-in-the-majors miscreants were the ones giving opposing pitchers fits. The Giants almost doubled their runs scored total against the Padres this year. This is what it feels like when doves cry.
Also of note: I think a good nickname for Brian Wilson would be Torquemada.

with that base hit, Eugenio Velez has cemented his 4th outfielder status. It was the RBI. He came through. In the clutch. Those failed bunt attempts? Not in the clutch. They don’t matter. If you perform in the clutch that is all that matters.

I could see them sending Downs back when Renteria comes back (which will, unfortunately, be soon). But, maybe not now that he’s outperformed expectations.
Bork says this weekend, I think.

A friend of mine actually asked Renteria when he would be back (at BP), and he said he’s feeling fine and should be back Friday. I mean, it’s not up to him, but, well, That’s What He Said.
I didn’t miss Renteria until Uribe played bullfighter with what should have been a game ending DP off of Yorvit’s bat. I blame him for my high blood pressure in the twelfth more than Wilson.

Positional depth could be an issue, but I’d rather have Downs up right now than Rohlinger right now.
Downs had a good game tonight, I think he exorcised some demons of his own today. Of course, it could just be more flukiness.

Right, can’t move Torres from 2nd because he’s doing so well there. And, putting Torres at 1 and Sanchez at 2 is UNPOSSIBLE because Rowand is so great at lead off. (Though, he did get on base for Torres’ HR.)

To cover up the other actors who can’t sing, probably. I’ve heard snippets from songs, mostly through iTunes, and it sounds like they dial it back when they have someone like Idina Menzel guest star, but the auto-tuning is usually consistent across the board. It probably also saves them time and money by not having to do as many takes in the studio.
By contrast, Julie Taymor claims that about 90% of the songs in “Across the Universe” were recorded on-set. God I love her.

Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Auto-tuners automatically fix pitch imperfections. So if a singer is flat or even schmaltzing (talk-singing), it will try to auto-correct it to the nearest semitone. When used lightly, you get sounds like Miley Cyrus and the singers on Glee. When used heavily, you get T-Pain.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
That tinny sound in her music videos is the auto-tuner.
Truthfully, she’s a decent enough singer that she probably doesn’t need it. But she’s there to be marketed, so I guess they feel there’s no reason to add character to her singing.

If you can’t put faith in your lead actors to project, then you probably shouldn’t have cast them in the first place.

I’m nothing special, but if I can project to a cavernous gym with 500 butts in seats and the band in front of me, professional actors can play to a thrust stage with 250 seats.

I co-directed a summer show once in a high school choir room. It was in July in Sacramento, in a non-air-conditioned brick building that got full direct sun from dawn til dusk.
We put the seats on the choir tiers and brought in a bunch of box fans to at least cool the room a bit. On opening night (a Saturday, since Friday’s was cancelled due to our fat-suit wearing star developing a 102-degree fever) we popped a fuse and had to choose between fans or lights.
We chose lights and replaced all the cigarette bits with ice-water bits. As the lights came up, they revealed the entire audience a-flutter with programs like the those swarms of monarch butterflies.
It was exhilarating.

I must admit, when Ramos came in to relieve Thatcher, I immediately jumped to the Padres roster to confirm… Yes, Ramos was their last reliever! I was pleased to see this, but I was too afraid to say anything on the GDT because I was still convinced that Padres would walk off on us again.

Okay Logo is okay
It gives a nod to possibly the best jersey’s ever, but the type selection is weak. It’s on the fence. It’s half saying, “I’m gonna stay simple. I’m not gonna fall into the cartoon trap of the last type logo.” The other side is saying, “Dude, you can’t just be Helvetica, or Avenir or something…you need some balls.” So the result was some lame version of Copperplate. I guess it’s better than what it replaces, which in every aspect, color, type, style, was off-the-charts horrific.
Even the mark, is lacking. I appreciate the simplicity, but even going with that style there are far better approaches.
It’s only passable because of what it replaces which was a holocaust of aesthetics.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.

Bags on Franchez
We just got official word from Bruce Bochy. Freddy Sanchez will join the Giants at Chase Field in time for Wednesday’s game. He will be activated from the disabled list and the club will make a corresponding move at that time.
Bochy wouldn’t commit to starting Sanchez at second base, saying he wanted to talk with the player first. But there’s a good chance you’ll see him in the lineup.
Sanchez finished his rehab assignment tonight for Triple-A Fresno at Oklahoma City. He was 1-for-2 and was replaced with a pinch runner after three innings, presumably so he could get outta Dodge and travel to Phoenix.
He probably wants to ask him if he prefers Sanchezy or Freddyy.

I missed the outrage, but why was it “Geno” pinch-outed instead of Ishi two nights ago? 17 AB is pretty amazing after almost two full months of games. It’s worse than Fred and Nate last year I think.
I don’t get why they keep someone on the roster that they will never even use to PH (especially when they’ve already got Bowker for that role). At that point they may as well bring Borchard up, since he can bat R.

Director's cut
From the last GDT:
The Giants scored four runs, and we’re amazed. Stunned. It almost doesn’t feel like it was that bad of a loss. There was a home run, which Wikipedia describes as “when the ball is hit in such a way that the batter is able to circle all the bases in one play without any errors being committed by the defensive team in the process.” It was stunning! A revelation! Alas, it wasn’t enough.
The worst part for me is that someone, somewhere is thinking that someday, a lineup with Edgar Renteria, Mark DeRosa, and Freddy Sanchez back from injury will help this offense in any noticable way. Why, this team isn’t at full strength! That person might have a goatee, a closet filled with Tommy Bahama shirts, and a disdain for minor league statistics. It’s like a Hollywood producer complaining to a studio executive: “Of course Cutthroat Island flopped! After Jim Belushi and Bronson Pinchot pulled out, we didn’t have any box office draws.” Deflect, deflect, deflect. The people signing the checks will bemoan their bad luck. Cursed fortune!
That’s the worst part for me.
The other worst part is that the Giants lost another game because their dinky singles weren’t strung together with the serendipity of the Padres’ singles. That was, again, a bunch of crap. I don’t think it means that the Padres are just way better than the Giants.
The other worst part is that I watched that whole game. And the eight Padres/Giants games before it. What is my problem? I’m not getting those hours back. My god, I could have read books to my daughter. I could have learned calligraphy.
Also of note: with the exception of the first paragraph, this post was written at 4:00 p.m. today.
DFA Brian Sabean
Don't know if this was already posted but
SAN DIEGO — Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated Tuesday that outfielder-infielder Mark DeRosa will need an injury rehabilitation assignment in the Minor Leagues before he rejoins the lineup.
“I’d say that he’s looking at a few at-bats in rehab,” Bochy said of DeRosa, who’s hoping that his ailing left wrist will heal enough to enable him to play. DeRosa went on the 15-day disabled list Monday, retroactive to May 9. He’s eligible to leave the DL next Monday, a scheduled off-day, so his earliest possible return date is May 25, when the Giants open a three-game series against Washington.
Unlike second baseman Freddy Sanchez, who’s expected to play every day when he’s activated from the DL, DeRosa might not be a full-fledged regular once he’s back. In 26 games, DeRosa hit .194 with one home run and 10 RBIs.
“Right now, we’d monitor him a bit more this time around,” Bochy said.
Can’t the guy just have surgery and then come back when he feels healthy? Obviously this is too much to ask, have him do some rehab and then come back with his wrist still in shitty condition.

This part made me feel good, yet disgusted at the same time:
Finally, finally, finally, our shouldn’t-be-in-the-majors miscreants were the ones giving opposing pitchers fits.
Regardless of tonight, the Giants just release Velez when they bring up Sanchez. But unlike these players, Downs is a solid contributor who knows what he is doing on a major league ballfield. I like his swing, nice and short, and a contact-maker. His defense is not too shabby as well. Now I wish we had never signed Freddy Sanchez, but who would have known that Downs would be doing so well at this point in the season? Ugh, I hope he stays up here and shares time with Freddy. That’s the best anyone can hope for the guy. I wish him good luck.
Bandwagoners are the prostitutes of fandom.

Even though he had been slumping, I think Downs is solid. His ABs are usually good, he’s decent at taking pitches, pretty solid on D…and it helps that his name is not Eugenio

When I say Rover I mean basically on the infield edge behind second base.
I know that’s an exaggeration, but he was playing extremely shallow and chased that ball for a long time.
one run was no problem, even two runs and they still win, which they did, but they opened the door for something catastrophic by positioning to make a play at home. Had he been playing deeper that ball was an out.

With two outs and runners on second and third, anything to the outfield is gonna score two unless the ball AND the fielder is shallow. I guess you would term it an “assist” defense.

Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.

Bengie on base is the ultimate doubles defense.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
When I say Rover I mean basically on the infield edge behind second base.
I know that’s an exaggeration, but he was playing extremely shallow and chased that ball for a long time.
one run was no problem, even two runs and they still win, which they did, but they opened the door for something catastrophic by positioning to make a play at home. Had he been playing deeper that ball was an out.

Eckstein, who has no power
oh, wait….
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
Really??
It doesn’t really matter how we play the outfield though, his deal with the devil guarantees he will succeed against us.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
yeah really
if Rowand had been playing doubles defense, Eckstein would have blooped one in front of him

Isn’t that the chance you take with no doubles defense though? Even if he bloops one at least he isn’t in scoring position.
It’s conjoined fail, attached at the fiasco. - Grant
True
I guess you can’t really expect Eckstein to hit for power though, so probably 8 times out of 10, Rowand would have been in the right spot and gotten him out.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Hmmm you may be right. I’m only thinking in terms of strategy regardless of who the hitter is.

doubles defense already screwed the giants once, almost got em again last night thank god for whiteside.

He was quite good, I thought.
Has he done any other acting? Was that his biggest role to date?

I wonder if that movie would have done better had Heath Ledger been around to finish it.

Wilson for FLewis
3/5, 2B, R

half of eckstien's RBIs came against the giants
punches wall with head
Good morning
I turned the game off and left the thread after Sanchez blew the lead. I guess maybe I shouldn’t watch the Giants when they play the Padres because they win.
