Post-game thread: Lincecum feigns mortality
by Grant Brisbee on May 26, 2010 10:12 PM PDT
Email
PrintOh, and every now and again, Tim Lincecum will string together a couple of bad outings. It happens to the best pitchers. So when you’re stuck in that pie-in-the-sky, gee, all-they-have-to-do-is-score-two-runs mode, don’t forget that the Giants’ pitching isn’t really magic inside. There’s charming fallibility inside all of us, even Tim Lincecum.
Also of note: I turned the game off after the Nationals’ fourth run. The Giants would have had to score at least five unanswered runs to win, and I just didn’t have that kind of patience.

Pitchers get into a routine. Lincecum was a better pitcher when he pitched in his regular routine of pitching every 5th day.
Charming fallibility. I like the sound of that. That’s a great way to describe the faults of somebody as great as Timmy: by making them sound nice.

I’m pretty sure feliz is 5 times as fast as molina as well, not to mention he does more than hit weak fly balls to shallow outfielders.
"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."
Bengie just isn't a very good hitter.
He’s being more selective this year, and that might be a reason he has 2 HR instead of 5 or 6.
Can we really ask him to do one without impacting the other? Part of the reason he hit 20 HR last year was why he walked less than any other regular. He just doesn’t have it in him to walk once every other game played and homer 3 or 4 times a month.
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.

This is not some minor matter: it is a major issue, and the truth urgently needs to be known.

Bork couldn't say anything without Lincecum's consent
Sometimes we as fans do not appreciate how difficult it is for the front office to handle these situations. Believe me, I’m one of the first in line to attack the FO, but let’s remember there is a clause in the MLB labor contract that stipulates the team is not allowed to disclose player injuries unless consent from the player is given.
If Tim didn’t give consent to the front office to disclose his blisters, the team is not allowed to say anything. At all.

Tim isn’t the issue. It’s his stupid manager.
The Giants offseason moves - "meh"
Proud father of 2-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, who could do whatever he wants to do.
Timmy is not the problem:
No player will freely disclose a condition that would affect how his opponents might deal with him (apparently it is supposed to be worse for breaking pitches). By now, though, the question is too public to just ignore.
The questions are: one, did he have a blister or callus that might affect his performance? But then two: if so—big if there—whatever in the world was he doing out on the mound in the first place? The old “70% of him is worth 100% of most guys” is sheer crap. If he did not have a blister/callus, or if he is 100% positive it didn’t affect anything and the med staff agrees, that’s one thing; but otherwise, it’s a very different and very big thing. And the hands in pockets remains bothersome; unless he has a very impish sense of humor, the assumption would seem to be that there was something to conceal.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Of course, it’d be impossible to hide such a thing from management. And it’s management’s job to decide whether or not he’s ready to go.
I know about manliness, cowboy up and so on, but one would think that in the modern era we’d be beyond such things. The coaches are supposed to evaluate what is the best course of action for their players, regardless of that player’s desire to go forth and do battle. Heck, I once played an entire game of basketball on a badly sprained ankle. Was I helping the team? Debatable. But I wasn’t gonna give in. It would have wounded my pride. That’s where a manager would have stepped in.
Assuming the rumor is true, all of this is just additional evidence to the effect that Bochy makes a number of questionable decisions.

Possibly only tangential, but . . .
. . . I well remember when Frank Robinson was managing the Orioles, he would have a closed-door private meeting with the trainer shortly before every game, and not 30 seconds’ worth either. (I can no longer recall if he did that while with the Giants.)
With the Giants, I recall the time Gary Lavelle badly blew a game, then told the press in the post-game that he had been much less than 100% physically—something he had neglected to inform his trainer, coaches, or manager about. Robby could have been used as the illustrative picture they put in dictionaries, for the word “steamed”. It violated so many baseball principles that it’s hard to know where to start.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
The Frank Robinson story… I’m not sure if that means he was listening to or marginalizing the trainer?
For Lavelle, who was well before my time, it’s possible that he had an aching elbow a bum shoulder or some other internal distress that he thought he could bull over. What can a manager do in that circumstance? Unless the skipper is Clark Kent, he won’t be able to see that a fellow has a frayed labrum.
Blisters are not discreet. They can be seen with the naked eye. If it was there, I cannot come up with an excuse for missing it.
"Career potential: situational lefty." Situation: Ragnarok, bases loaded, Odin at the plate. You know who's getting the call.
-Adopted Giant: Dan Runzler
Well:
As to Robby, he was very definitely listening to the trainer, and the closed door was to allow and encourage honest evaluations. No coaches, no nobody but the manager and the trainer.
Lavelle was a pompous prick. He may or may not really have had an injury, but the crux is that if you haven’t told your boss about your problem, you do not throw it out to the press as an excuse after the fact, leaving them to go back and ask said boss whether he was putting a known-injured guy out there. That’s one you can’t win, because even when you say he never told me, you are bound to be suspected of lying. Robby was actually pretty good with the superficial corps, saying polite Borkean things till they went away. What he then said, off the record, to the core corps (so to speak) was not a Tommy Lasorda or Lee Elia job: rather than an explosion, it was a blowtorch.
As you see, I have not forgotten it after nearly three decades.
(Are the once-famous Lasorda and Elia tirades still the stuff of legend? Or are they now forgotten lore?)

Anyone see the last few minutes of the Mariners game? I caught the last part of the 8th on in a local brewpub, and the Mariners put together an impressive rally. After Sweeney homered to bring them within one, they strung together three more hits to take the lead. Then Aardsma closed it out with little drama.
That would be nice to see a few times this year. For the Giants, i mean.

. . . in his second year with the Giants, Christy Mathewson went 14-17 even though his ERA was 2.11. He started 32 games and pitched 277 innings. The Giants finished last in an eight team league. Their record was 48/88. That’s .353, 54 games back of the leader, Pittsburg. The previous year, he’d been a god. In ’02, a victim of circumstances.
Around game 100, the Giants hired John McGraw, and the future began.

Christy Mathewson should learn how to win.

4th Place . . .
. . . is where the ‘64 Giants finished in a ten-team league after winning 90 games. They were three games back. In the last week of play, I rushed home from school to listen to the teletype machine give the scores . . . no, that’s a lie. I turned on the radio the KMJ to hear Lon and Russ give the developments. It was the saddest week of my life, and it was then I became an adult at twelve years of age.

I have a bold and innovative solution to this problem!
Tim should probably throw more strikes.
I realize that this suggestion is kind of “out there”, but stay with me here. You see, if Tim throws more strikes, batters would actually be forced to put the ball in play without a Giants defensive player recording an out before they were allowed to reach base safely.

That was a awesome game that sunday, I just got really annoyed waiting at the ballpark for 7 hours and spending a ungodly amount of money on barely any food.

I think they need to get this game in today. Nats going to San Diego this weekend so they could start the game at 7pm tonight if they had to. The Nats only have one more West Coast trip this season, in August, and they have an off-day August 9, but there’s a Giants-Cubs game at the Big Phone that day.
Giants Baseball: TORTURE
lol I can’t go to the game if it’s at 7. But yeah, they will probably try their hardest to get it in
