Giants/Diamondbacks Series Preview

PrintWhen the Diamondbacks sent over a busload of prospects for Dan Haren, it was because they could. The front-office executives were probably lighting their cigars with prospects, chortling like fat cats in some turn-of-the-century editorial cartoon. And this was with the Diamondbacks already winning the division in 2007. It was quite unfair. So after the championship runs of ‘08 and ‘09, the Diamondbacks are again in...
...last place? Wait a sec. Wha’ happened? And the Diamondbacks didn’t have championship runs in ‘08 and ‘09. Actually, they were pretty bad last year. Chris Young was more Wily Mo Pena than Willie Mays, Chad Tracy was more Lance Niekro than Lance Berkman, and Eric Byrnes was more Giants-era Eric Davis than Reds-era Eric Davis. The offense was awful. Conor Jackson even sat out for most of the season with "valley fever", which sounds more like a reason to miss the the nuclear power plant’s softball game than a horrific medical condition. It’s at this point that a hack would write something like, "The Diamondbacks were snakebit!", but I’ll spare you.
Just kidding. The Diamondbacks were snakebit. And the early returns on this season suggest the same thing. Instead of lighting their cigars with prospects, the front-office executives just stand a few feet from the bullpen with the cigars in their mouths. Dan Haren still has the stellar K/BB rates going, but he’s allowed more home runs than Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and Barry Zito combined. Justin Upton has struck out in a third of his at-bats, giving the Diamondbacks a similar kind of "he’ll be fine...right?" sensation to what we’re feeling with Pablo Sandoval.
I don’t feel a lick of sympathy. I hope the Diamondbacks lose 100 games every year until they’re contracted out of the league. While they aren’t patently evil like the Dodgers, ridiculously uncooperative and annoying like the Rockies, or as bland and frustrating as the Padres, never forget that the Diamondbacks have a world championship. The Giants have slogged through decade after decade in San Francisco, losing painful playoff series without winning the World Series, and the Diamondbacks flitted around for four freaking seasons before the Phillies donated Curt Schilling to them for a collection of ne’r-do-wells and chumps. Then the Phillies’ karmic reward was that they’d win a championship in the same decade.
Also, Scott Hairston was drafted and developed by the Diamondbacks.
And people wonder why Giants fans are so bitter.
Hitter to watch
Watch Adam LaRoche every time he steps into the batter’s box. You’ll sense a distinct sadness, a smoldering malaise. It’s that of a man who knows he can only afford a Lamborghini Gallardo instead of a Lamborghini Murcielago. Sucker. Should have taken the Giants’ money when it was on the table. Instead, the Giants settled on Aubrey Huff, who is performing almost as well for a fraction of the price. The Giants used the savings on, uh...Freddy Sanchez and Mark DeRosa, but that’s not the point. The point is that Adam LaRoche can have marital relations with himself, giving himself his own diseases back in the process.
And watch for that sadness.
Pitcher to watch
Ian Kennedy is a control specialist who thrives on teams getting themselves out. Therefore, he’ll pitch like some sort of radioactively enhanced Pedro Martinez.
You know what? That joke is tired. Please stop making me tell it, baseball gods. Just stop.
Prediction:
I’ll want to punch every person shown on camera hanging out by a pool instead of watching a baseball game.

On the DVD commentary track for that episode, the writers mentioned that the players thought it was hilarious that they wrote Darryl Strawberry as the kiss-up goody two-shoes, and that Mattingly LOVED saying that line.

I feel compelled to mention this in any conversation about Williams' awesomeness
He grew up in my hometown of Bishop…almost. It was technically Big Pine, but that place is tiny and hardly counts. Still – best big leaguer I’ve ever had hometown ties to. Saw him come back and give a little talk at the Big Pine HS once, too. I didn’t stand in line for an autograph because it was ridiculously long, but it was still pretty cool that ANY big leaguer came from where I lived, let alone someone as great as Matt Williams.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Yeah! I don’t remember rooting for AZ. Remember, we just lost that division by one game!

that is a f-u-g-l-y stadium, and they have made it worse by dumping their faddish teal and purple unis for those utterly failtastic red softball unis with the ridiculous abbreviation “D-backs”.
If your team name is too long for your idiot uniform contractor (cf. Natinals), maybe you should change the team name to “Rattlers” or “Cacti”.

it's not red
it’s “Sedona red”. And “Sonora sand”.
I don’t miss the 90s teal, but their red and black is way too XFL. Why is it so hard to have white home unis and grey road unis?

Teal is kinda lame, but I give them credit for at least trying something a bit different.
Now that I look at it, a lot of teams have recently switched to red:
D-bags
Phillies (also switched to red)
Nationals (I guess it could be argued that they switched from Expos blue)
Astros (switched to red)
Reds
Cards
It’s a full division’s worth of red teams. Unimaginative, stupid, and WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CRIPS?!

I actually didn't mind their teal
or that of the Sharks, it just seemed like it was the only color teams picked in the 90s, so kind of dated now. They should have done a brown/tan snake type thing which could have been cool.
When did the Phillies switch to red? Those unis they have now are almost the same as the ones they wore in the 50s.
As for red, I remember seeing some study once that determined that red uniformed teams perform better than others. Probably a Stanfurd doctoral dissertation.

I guess they are technically a shade of red, but I’d say more wine-colored, especially compared to all the bright red of today. I actually really, really liked those unis with the wine-colored logos. I was just thinking about them when they played a turn-back-the-clock game last week.

I actually like their ballpark
I went there summer before last and was surprised how much I liked it. Sure, indoor parks aren’t as cool as real ones, but the evening we went it was about 110 outside and would have sucked without being in an air-conditioned building.
They opened the roof and walls for a post-game fireworks show and I was amazed at how “open” the park felt. The whole process of opening it up took less than 2 minutes.
It’s more like a convertible than a sunroof.

Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
I consider Downs a true utility guy
so I wouldn’t mind seeing him at short.
It’s not like Rohlinger has actually played any SS since he’s been up anyway.

He’ll probably go 3 for 10 with 3 meaningless singles and 0 walks and everyone will be talking about how he’s a spark plug professional hitter.

One thing I thought the sixth movie actually did better than the book was Draco’s expelliarming of Dumbledore. In the book it’s kind of just like “oh, Dumbledore is all weak and can’t even counter the weakest possible spell ever.” But in the movie, when it happens, he kind of tosses the wand aside himself and looks at it like “Oops, did I do that?”
I think that works really well, and it’s something that wouldn’t play very well in text.

all I can contribute to this discussion is this:
The recent Harry Potter movies are really hard to follow if you haven’t read the books.
(And before anyone asks: no, I haven’t read ‘em; nothing against them, but it’s just one of those things for me where I got sick of the books before I ever read them because people just won’t shut up about them. Maybe someday, but when something becomes that ubiquitous, all the attention it gets overshadows the thing itself for me, and, as I said, I get really sick of it, and it’s probably best for me to avoid the thing in question because I’m not going to give it a fair shake. Anyway.)

long aside is long
I think there are also some really cool things that they left out of the movie that did not need to be cut because they do not take up time or anything.
Like they never really explain that the marauders map was made by Harry’s dad and his friends, etc.

There are some moments in the movies where I shake my head. The end of the fourth movie where the wands connect and the ghosts show up – THERE IS A WHOLE FUCKING CHAPTER IN THE BOOK TO EXPLAIN THAT. In the movie when Harry mentions it, Dumbledore just whispers a few words of gibberish and the issue is CLOSED.

Yeah, I definitely got the impression that they just assume everyone has read the books so they don’t have to explain shit. Which may be a fair assumption for the most part these days, but it’ll make the movies age awfully poorly, I’d imagine.

if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
I understood the storyline and knew what was going on through movies 1-4. I saw 5 in the theater and was almost lost. I had to read the books after that.
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
I thought the sixth was probably the best of the movies so far. It was nice that they kind embraced the “we have to leave this shit out and if we have to laugh at ourselves to do it, so be it” mentality. It was also the funniest of the movies by far.
I’d expected the fourth to be, because the tournament plot is so well-suited to film, but it’s actually one of my least favorite.

If you read the article, yes it is a bleacher report article, its pretty anti-Lewis. Seems like Lewis either didn’t read the article, didn’t understand the article, or is extremely humble and is not blaming Sabean

Summary:
People are going to criticize Sabes for getting rid of Lewis (with the advantage of hindsight) but they shouldn’t because:
1. SF has been successful under Sabes and the team is doing well now.
2. Fred is a bad fielder
3. Fred strikes out a lot so he can’t be trusted to be a situational hitter which is what the giants need because they have to manufacture runs. (In the AL they don’t have to manufacture runs because of the DH)
4. Fred is a bad baserunner because he’s only stolen 3 bases this year and been caught twice.
5. Fred is only doing well now because of a change of scenery.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
Dan Haren is not looking good this year
and their bullpen provides more runs than Taco Bell’s menu. Oh and they are still paying Eric Byrnes to play softball, Howry to be a t-ball stand and Russ Ortiz to do whatever he’s doing now.

Potentially Crazy News
I just heard from a friend in Wisconsin that he’s hearing reports that the Giants and Brewers are in REAL discussions regaridng a Fielder trade. According to him, Giants have offered Sanchez (Jonathan, I think, but he didn’t specify) and Bumgarner, plus others, but Brewers want Posey and Sanchez.
Not sure if this is accurate, but has anyone heard this?
I don’t believe any Giants trade rumors unless they’re reported on that one Wisconsin sports radio station.

but we all know his contract is almost up and wants a huge payday that Brewers aren’t likely to pay so there goes their main leverage. However, anything not involving Timmy, Pablo, Posey and of course Cain going to MIL and Prince can do his walkoff dance here in SF all he wants.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
(not in this deal, I mean
just if they get Fielder and have to sign him long term, there’s no way they’ll be able to afford Tim too.)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

The thing about trading for Fielder
Is that in the past, it did make sense. It really would have made sense to trade Cain for Fielder last year, or two years ago.
But it really doesn’t anymore. Fielder doesn’t have enough time left on his contract to justify something like this. A year and a half of Fielder is not worth the 6 years of Posey/Madison or even Cain or Sanchez. Well, maybe Sanchez.

Fielder for Sanchez straight-up is probably a good trade for us. I still don’t really want to do it, though.

Yeah

I don't find either Fielder or Hanley Ramirez's bullshit to be equal to their greatness
Whereas Kent was abrasive but perfectly likeable to me, and Bonds of course would have to have Hitlerian evil to match his prowess.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
Very much this.
Compound the fact that Fielder is barely producing in the Brewers lineup this year, so what makes you think he’s going to figure it out in the middle of San Francisco’s punch and judy bunnch?
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
He tried to bust into the Dodgers clubhouse last year after Mota hit him with a pitch as retaliation for Brewers pitchers throwing at Manny.
It’s not an isolated incident, either. He’s tried to start shit on other occasions as well.
Compound the fact that we would to suffer never-ending jokes about having the fattest infield in baseball until the end of the season… Yeah. I give it a pass.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Again, it’s not an isolated incident. He got into a fight in his own dugout with Manny Parra.
He also gets up to all kids of ridiculous bullshit that I don’t want to see at a baseball game.
I don’t care how cheap the deal would be, I don’t want to see an out-of-shape, hot-headed, one-dimensional player like Fielder on this team.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
At least, not for Jonathan Sanchez.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
Who’s actually doing well this year, unlike Fielder.
WAR so far in 2010…
Sanchez: 1.3
Fielder: 0.7.
Fielder is batting .275… with a .337 BABIP, solidly 35 points over his career numbers. His .386 OBP is shiny, but you can expect that to go down when he’s plugged into the Giants’ lineup. And his 6 home runs, .168 ISO and his 26.2% K-rate don’t look too great, either.
Andres Torres has a higher OPS than Fielder right now.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
So you’re saying Mota would need to be included in any trade then?

OT: ESPN trying to stir up controversy!
Can someone with an insider account check this out:
http://insider.espn.go.com/insider/blog?name=keating_peter&id=5198020
The intro blurb sounds like this author is trying to say that because Steroids can add mph to a pitchers fastball, they instantly become Roger Clemens.
How much are steroids worth to a pitcher?
Here’s how much, according to new research: They can take a guy with a 35th-percentile fastball and make him average, and take a pitcher with an average fastball and boost him to the 65th percentile. So just think about the difference it might make to a borderline-dominant pitcher like, say, Roger Clemens.
The rest you need to be an insider.

why the hell are there two cities in the same area named Eureka and Yreka? because some wise guy left Eureka and decided to have some fun with it?
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
let me google that for you
Several name changes occurred until the little city was called Yreka, apparently taken from a Shasta Indian word meaning “north mountain” or “white mountain,” a reference to nearby Mount Shasta.12 Mark Twain, in his Autobiography (p. 162, Harper/Perennial Literary, 1990), tells a different story:
Harte had arrived in California in the [eighteen-]fifties, twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and had wandered up into the surface diggings of the camp at Yreka, a place which had acquired its mysterious name — when in its first days it much needed a name — through an accident. There was a bakeshop with a canvas sign which had not yet been put up but had been painted and stretched to dry in such a way that the word BAKERY, all but the B, showed through and was reversed. A stranger read it wrong end first, YREKA, and supposed that that was the name of the camp. The campers were satisfied with it and adopted it.
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.

OT Re the Giants in OOTP 11
I hate to derail this discussion of baseball, but has anyone tried to dump salary with the Giants in the new game? It seems much more difficult than in OOTP 8, and the contractual disasters aren’t THAT much worse. I thought.
Anyway, I haven’t been able to unload Molina or Mole. I expected to be stuck with Rowand but I’m moving him to left, and I managed to send DeRosa and Velez to Florida for Uggla and Bonifacio and a couple spare parts.
If I wanted my digital life to be this difficult I’d just make a second life avatar that spends all its time posting on a second life nerb board.

I was going to say the game would help him if he used it, but that screen only comes up if you actually try to unload a bad contract.

Velez’s hit was the winner but it only happened because of Downs’ go ahead hit. Also, it was only the winner becuase of Wilson’s antics.

I don’t blame Wilson. I blame David Fuckstain and his voodoo bullshit.
I also blame Velez for wasting a high leverage at-bat two innings previously without even making it close.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Correct
Back in the day (from 1980-1988), “Game Winning RBI” was an official statistic. And according to that stat, Matt Downs would’ve been credited with last night’s GWRBI.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

Raiders is immaculate. Please explain why it isn’t as good as Last Crusade.

I didn’t really care for Joan Allen’s character in Raider and like the interaction between Ford and Connery in Last Crusade.

You are thinking of some other movie that had Joan Allen in it (Bourne Supremacy, perhaps). Raiders featured Karen Allen, and was flawless.

actually, as a psychology major, yes
10 minute naps are a little on the short side though…you can go up to about 20-25 minutes without it affecting your circadian rhythm and causing havoc on your sleep cycle. Anything longer than that is actually counter productive. Also, meditating for 15 minutes has been shown to have better affects than a short power nap.

OT: Tim Alderson...i'm sure he has been discussed ad nauseum
but, I was just looking through MiLB stats for this year thus far. about the only positive thing i can glean is that he has a wonderful GO/AO ratio. but maybe that’s not such a good thing if all the infielders backing him up are age old turkey jerky.

surely TA still has time to get it together, but maybe BS and co. saw something of real concern.

It doesn’t matter if he fails if we sold him below his value at the time he was sold. It really doesn’t.

Seriously OT: Songs that make ya cry.
I bring this up because I was listening to Tom Waite’s ‘Martha’ and it choked me up something fierce. Leave your masculinity at the subject line and confess!

“The Drinking Song” by Moxy Fruvous.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Listened to Flaming Lips ‘Do You Realize??’ the day my daughter was born and it got the ol’ waterworks a-going.
Hey Sandoval, mix in a salad. Everyone else, mix in a walk.
Oddly, I also choke up at a Flaming Lips song: mine is “Waiting for Superman”.
Adoptive parent of Kevin Frandsen, now stopping gaps in...Anaheim?
Have you heard the Iron and Wine version?

Depressing Pogues tale of pointless sacrifice of youth in WWI is depressing.
