Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Post-game thread: Giants lose third straight

Photo

I'm starting to think that the Giants' inability to score more than a run per game is hampering their ability to win.

Another day, another pitcher carving the Giants up. I don't care that Barry Zito gave up six earned runs -- he really didn't pitch that poorly -- as much as I care about the wretched, wretched, wretched offense of the Giants. Dribbler, dribbler, pop-up, whiff, whiff, dribbler, fly out, dribbler, double, whiff, dribbler, whiff. Now, that's a slogan, Giants marketing execs. Nuts to your "magic inside." Giants baseball: dribbler, dribbler, pop-up, whiff, whiff, dribbler, fly out, dribbler, double, whiff, dribbler, whiff. It would look just swell on a t-shirt.

Who had game 41 in the "Grant burns out on Post-game threads" pool? One bloop went one way, the other bloop went the other way, and the overpriced veteran pitcher is saying, "Hey, what do you want from me?"

 I’m reluctant because I’ve seen most of them and only a handful of shows/movies are repeaters for me yet I’m pretty sure once I stick my toe in the water I’m going to relish the whole pool.

My educated guesses come from two sources

One: Crawfish boxes trade proposal for Berkman to SF (Kieshnick and Gillaspe)

Two: Fangraphs’ article on why the Astros might not get a good prospect return on Roy Oswalt

I think that Neal, Noonan, Kieshnick would be a good return for them, frankly, considering the dire straights they’re in. If we have to include Gillaspe and Tanner, fine. Git R Dun.

SAST

I see we have present in the audience tonight quite a few holders of season tickets to Short Attention-Span Theater. The Giants’ offense is not supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but it’s well within site of league-average. The rule is you plug away, and at the end of the year hope you’re not an outlier on the runs-scored/runs-earned numbers, nor yet on the “Pythagorean” games-won numbers. There are always outliers, but mostly you get what you earn from cumulative runs scored and runs surrendered.

quick calculation

Overall, NL teams are averaging 4.50 runs per game, approximately. 0.23 more than the Giants isn’t a ton, I guess, but over a 162 game season, it’s not trivial, either.

Plus, not that long ago the Giants were still well above average in runs scored. They’re still in the process of reverting to form, I fear.

Freddie Sanchez

is a damn good baseball player if healthy. I realize his OBP is not as high as you’d like. But that doesn’t take away all the things he can do. He is a lifetime .299 hitter with a batting championship, he is a very good situational hitter, he plays a solid second base.

He’s been hurt. That has been frustrating. Let’s see what he does over the course of the next 120 games is healthy.

Every once is a while, step back from the Sabean hatred and give a guy a chance. If Sanchez plays to his career, he will help the Giants considerably. If he doesn’t – then blast away.

WHO IS ROWAND SLEPPING WITH

I mean for chrissakes HOW does he keep leading off? 5 walks. FIVE. He often swings at the games first pitch. He’s hitting a whopping .259. His OBP SUCKS. He’s slow. In other words, he has NONE of the characteristics of a lead-off man. Meanwhile, Torres is a switch hitter, can run, is currently raking the ball, has shown patience. And he hits 7th or 8th.

I understand Torres may be a 25 game wonder (see Velez, Eugenio) and revert back. But then find someone else to lead off. Rowand is a no. 6-7 hitter. Nothing more. He never flipping has been.

I know there’s a lot of talk about Carl Crawford, and obviously I’d love for the Giants to get him, but it strikes me that there’s another Ray who might be a better fit for less money: Carlos Pena.

It’s not like we have a 1B of the future or anything, and Pena could be a damn good player, plus his contract will probably be much much less than crawfords. Thoughts?
