Post-game thread: Giants demolish the Nationals, score four runs
by Grant Brisbee on May 25, 2010 9:58 PM PDT
Email
PrintRemember: We all got excited about an offensive explosion tonight, and the explosion consisted of four runs. The dam broke! The waves of runs came pouring over our heads! No one was spared! Runs! Runs! Waves of runs!
Four. They scored four runs. They lowered their season average for runs scored. And yet it felt kuje rybs wier hys...sorry about that, it seems like my keyboard was covered with runs that leaked out from my TV. I should get that checked.
So while I’m happy the Giants snapped a five-game losing streak, and I’m always a fan of a Giants win whether it comes with one hit or fifty, this win worried me just a little. Because there were a couple of reasons the Giants didn’t score for a few games:
- They aren’t especially good.
- They had awful, awful luck. Oh-for-25 with runners in scoring position over the past few games? Not even the Giants can own up to that kind of suck. That was just an absence of luck.
Tonight, the first point was still true. The second point wasn’t. Todd Wellemeyer blooped a hit, Andres Torres roped a single, and Edgar Renteria threw his bat at a ball at his ankles for a single. One well-struck ball, one run. It’s kind of amazing that it hadn’t happened in the previous 26 innings.
So what scares me is the correlation-equals-causation percolating in Bochy’s head right now. With Schierholtz on the bench, and Bowker in timeout, the Giants had an offensive explosion. Four runs! Waves of runs!
Eh. I’ll shut up and enjoy the win now. Nice game, fellas. And it would be remiss to ignore the pretty sweet start from Wellemeyer. Maybe he’ll be a worthy fifth starter after all.

From the GDT:
AmyG says
Edgar Renteria aggravated right hamstring. That’s what prompted late inning position changes for SF. Renteria evaluated tomorrow
So maybe that solves the wacky fielding issue.

Wow. The frailty of our starting vets is really amazing.
Just think, if DeRosa, Huff, Rowand, Uribe, Renteria, and Sanchez, and Molina are all healthy at one time, Torres will actually get pushed out of the starting lineup.

Again, watched the game on mute, glanced over and saw the foggy filter effect being played on the Giants offense highlights… and it looked like a bunch of old fat guys swinging bats and running around the bases, looking like they just recaptured a glimmer of their glory days. It was that foggy/dreamlike filter that made it look hilarious.

on a team with 4 outfielders listed on the roster, with two of them being 26, they managed to find a way to start 3 guys in the OF over 30.

Don’t you mean Don Robinson?
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
I loved big Don. He had a little John Wayne in him; big guy, walking s l o w l y to the plate, handling a bat like it was a toothpick. He actually looked a little like Pete Vuckovich in Major League, a real life pitcher playing a first baseman in the movie, with a perfectly plausible power hitter stance and swing. That was Don Robinson—he just looked like a hitter up there. Even though he was in fact a pitcher. And slow as hell—if you could arrange a race around the bases between Don Robinson and Bengie Molina, Bengie would hit home about the time Don was puffing into second.

Origins of the “hot tubs and peacock feathers” stereotype:
Cyra McFadden’s Marin satire The Serial: A Year in the Life of Marin County first appeared in “Pacific Sun” and 1976 and later became a feature film and popular novel in 1980. But before that, in 1978, came this:

(Might not want to watch if you have kids around. There’s cable-grade nudity. Also, the sound is off but whatever.)

It really was. You saw that he was all business, very no-nonsense and the definition of a super-spy. And then you saw how those attributes that made him a great spy also made him deranged if one of the few people he let in was hurt or hurt someone he loved.
I never thought he would have become part of the Ring when he was first introduced, but when it did happen, it made perfect sense. And then his devotion to try to kill Sarah was just scary.

I liked it okay, but I was pretty tired of seeing a lot of the things that happened. I mean, you had the predictable character death (it was), the predictable resurrection of the guy who should be dead, the guy who we thought was normal turned out to have already had an intersect in his brain when he was a kid, the way that the show teased “He’s gonna stop being a spy!” when there was no chance of that, the way that it turned out both his parents were super involved in this shit…
I did like it, just to be clear. But I don’t know that I can consider it a great show.

It’s no masterpiece of writing, that’s to be sure, but it’s consistently entertaining and doesn’t care how absurd it gets, which is what I expect from it. Plus the characters are so endearing (Casey’s absolute loyalty and Awesome’s sweet bro/macho attitude are my favorites) that I can’t help but love it.
It’s predictable, but I like predictability. I like shows where I know the characters I like won’t die, and that the couple I root for will get together. It’s why I liked Smallville, I guess.

It’s a fun way to pass an hour, but I seriously doubt it’s a show I’ll think about after it’s over. It’s a slightly funnier, much less dramatic Alias. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t inspire a ton of passion in me.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
It’s not really meant for thinking about. Yes, there are plot holes, but the show obviously considers them inconsequential. If you ever find yourself focusing more on the plot holes than the entertaining parts, that’s the time to stop watching for a while – for me, anyway.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Also, it is that rare beast that combines Romance, Comedy, Action and Drama in a way that works. Plus the characters are all charming in endearing in one way or another. There is great cast chemistry. And the in jokes and references are all over the place. Plus the mini homages to all sorts of things are a nice frosting over a very yummy cake.
And season two was a masterpiece. The finale is just awesome after awesome with a Mr. Roboto scene that really needs to be seen to be believed. Then intersect mk 2. Chuck me!!

That link won’t post correctly for some reason, but I’ll post the genius statement.
n Saturday morning, before the back-to-back shutouts by the A’s, The Chronicle asked general manager Brian Sabean to assess what he saw over the first quarter of the season. He described a team that needs to improve in all areas, not just run production, which is more obvious. He suggested the Giants might not surpass their 88 wins from last season but still could win the division if they finally get their projected lineup on the field and everyone plays to the potential that Sabean envisions.

the fact that wellemeyers run support is 2 runs higher a game is just pathetic, clearly all the 3-2 coutns pumps them up.

Wait a minute
Bochy says if all goes well with DeRosa he could start a rehab assignment this weekend. Why is he doing a rehab assignment and Rownads didn’t?
The Giants offseason moves - "meh"

The question is
How fucking stupid do the giants think their fan base is? They’ve been beating this mark derosa is coming back healthy to save us drum harder than they did with bonds in 2005. The fact is mark derosa is not coming back, and if the giants continue to fuck with him and make him play through a serious wrist injury his career is effectively over with a free 12 million for doing a ralph and tom spot.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
And even if Mark DeRosa did come back, he’d likely be a marginal upgrade at best. Hardly a savior.

Mark derosa will “come back” and go 1 for 30 (the lone hit being a broken bat opposite field blooper) and struggle in the field. Sabean will continue to act like derosa is the savior of this team and will be a productive force and drive the giants to the promise land. Derosa will have 15 day dl stints non stop with the company line “He’s healthy his wrist is just excited!!!!!” Derosa will send his average well below .100 and eventually be thrown under the bus by sabean, saying he’s “not a gamer” for having surgery in august. He will be rushed back from his surgery again next year, and it will be another sabean debacle because his career will be over with a free 12 million dollar paycheck.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
And it would be remiss to ignore the pretty sweet start from Wellemeyer. Maybe he’ll be a worthy fifth starter after all.
He won’t be. Wellemeyer needs to be placed on the ejector seat immediately.

More recent news paints an updated picture of the still developing Atilano:
Pitching coordinator Spin Williams and Harrisburg pitching coach Randy Tomlin changed his breaking ball, turning it from a big, looping pitch into a more biting one.
Atilano has always been a fastball-change-up pitcher, his fastball darting with a natural sink. “Strike thrower,” Williams said. “Attacks the hitter. He works fast, keeps the ball down, keeps a good game pace.”
He still has the change-up, but the sinking (tailing, not cutting) fastball sits closer to 89-90. PITCHf/x data from Atilano’s debut show at least three pitches, depending on how you slice up the breaking balls.
Not that any scouting report would sound good for us.
