Post-game thread: Cain dominates
by Grant Brisbee on May 28, 2010 9:40 PM PDT
Email
PrintThat’s what Matt Cain looks like when he has command of three pitches. His fastball is always special, whether it’s zipping along at 90 mph or 94 mph, but when he’s getting a big, controllable break on his curve (and/or change), he’s a beast. What a delight that was to watch.
Cain is the master of the one-hitter, as this was his 10th start in the majors in which he only allowed one hit. Only one other was a complete game, though, so this still ranks as one of the best starts of his career. In most of his other starts this season, he was yeomanishly effective, chomping away at innings and getting outs while walking a ton. In this start, he reminded everyone why Matt Cain was Matt Cain before Tim Lincecum was the flavor of the month generation. What a game.
When people bemoan the offense to the point of nausea, it’s partly because we love this pitching staff so freaking much. Cain is the calm, wry old soul who pitches like a grizzled veteran even though he’s still just 25. Lincecum is the weird, affable prodigy, doing cartwheels and growing his hair out. All I want for them is an offense that can sniff the league average. Most of the time, that’s just not going to happen. Tonight, though, you get to live like a king, Matt Cain. Don’t get used to it. Unless like you pitch like this much of a badass for the rest of your career. Then you can get used to whatever you want.
Other points:
- Who put Bengie Molina and Aaron Rowand back-to-back in the lineup? Good gravy. Kudos to Rowand for his sac fly in the eighth, but that’s a bear trap of slump in the bottom of the order there.
- I’ve waited a couple of games so I wouldn’t overreact, but here goes: My word, Freddy Sanchez can play a mean second base.
- If Dave Roberts can pop up at the age of 30 and be a reasonable leadoff option until a mismanaged team wants to throw ill-advised money at him five years later, maybe Andres Torres isn’t just a mirage. His problems with major league breaking balls might just have been a product of sporadic playing time, and maybe now we’re seeing the guy who demolished AAA pitching before the Giants picked him up for free. Maybe. At the very least, it’s fun to watch him play right now.
Laugh it up, fuzzball: this was one of the best games of the season.

So I guess Burrell all but confirmed
Pat Burrell could sign minor league deal today
A few boxes need to be checked before Pat Burrell signs a minor league contract with the Giants, although sources said a deal is likely to be finalized today.
Burrell, who grew up in the South Bay and attended Bellarmine College Prep, would be assigned to Triple-A Fresno to be evaluated. His contract will have an out clause if the Giants fail to promote him by a certain date, likely within a month.
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW

I wanted the Giants to get Burrell like four years ago.

how the padres didn’t win that game is LOL, they had the bases loaded with no outs and a 2 run game.
"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."
Capps was actually awesome in the 9th inning.
Gave up a leadoff hit. Desmond tried to make a web gem play with a 5-2 lead that resulted in an infield hit. He had an easy play at first if he hadn’t gone to first. There was also a swinging bunt. Hit to get in a run and then the bases loaded with the tying run on 2nd.
Capps then shows the kind of stones that the Nats haven’t had since Cordero was closing in 2005. Gets Stairs staring on a 3-2 slider. Gets Will Venable swinging. Gets Eckstein on a groundout to the Designated Defender, Mr. Ryan Zimmerman.
It was an adventure but most of that was not of his own making.
Tyler “Peaches” Clippard was lights out in the 8th as well.
And by the way, the Nationals are at least two years away from getting an outing like Matt Cain had tonight. Only kind of guy we’ve got with that talent is Strasburg without an innings cap.

He walked 2 hitters back-to-back to start the 2nd but other than that was in complete controll. The Bees hitters just looked real uncomfortable at the plate and there was maybe 2-3 hard hit balls all night. Screw his velocity… He just knows how to pitch – his fastball goes from 88-92 and he has great command of the plate. He touched 94 once in the second when he was in trouble…. Just really kept salt lakes lineup off balance the whole game. I was very impressed – IMO he would be the best 5th starter in baseball right now

Also in the article
I think Posey will get most of his starts at first base, with Aubrey Huff moving to left field. But Bengie Molina was hitless again Friday night and extended his streak to 19 games without an RBI. He’s hitting just .203 in May.
So Posey might steal a few starts behind the plate, too. But probably not when Jonathan Sanchez or Tim Lincecum is pitching.
Basically, he’s fucked.

I don’t necessarily mind Posey playing some first base. But to only have him “steal a few starts behind the plate” would be really dumb.
That said, if Molina continues to be awful and if Posey hits well while playing first, “stealing a few starts behind the plate” just might turn into “Buster Posey, starting catcher” pretty quickly.

Ah, but...
Bengie has always hit sort of poorly, not great for a catcher as a Giant. But in the past, he was able to time his hits so that he drove in lots of runs and made the Giants think he was clutch, etc.
This year, however, he’s not doing that. And even though he’s not hitting any worse than he did last year when he was a team “MVP”, this year, he’s on pace to drive in only 39 runs. Believe me, the Giants notice that. They noticed his AB with the runner on third and the infield in tonight where he couldn’t get the run home.
If Bengie is hitting something like .300/.410 and driving in runs, they’d never bench him. But hitting like he is now AND not putting up the 20 HR/80 RBI numbers that the team thinks are so great? I don’t know if they’ll necessarily continue to put up with that.

To my eyes, it looks like all the stuff that he was doing at the end of last year because he was tired – things like running slower, giving up passed balls, blocking poorly – are cropping up at the beginning of this year. I’m pretty sure his body isn’t tired the way I assume it was at the end of last year. But maybe he’s just finally too old for this shit.

Ah, yeah, I didn’t read the rest of the article because I kinda flipped out at the idea of Buster being called up.
Whenever Affeldt is ready to pitch, the Giants will send out another reliever and add a position player.

He was swapped for Downs because Affeldt was hurt and our bullpen was a bit taxed. I think he would have had Medders’ role had the need arisen.
Also, I totally forgot that Medders was on the DL until I glanced at the 40-man during the game tonight! Someone was wearing 99, and I was trying to figure out who it was, and if they were a Fresno call-up that they didn’t have time to make an orange jersey for.

I mean, he’s still hitting close to .300, and he’s Sanchez’s personal catcher and all, but this team doesn’t need three catchers, unless you really want to spin Eli as a right-handed bat off the bench. If you’re getting Buster 5 starts a week, Eli runs out of PT pretty fast, even if he’s our best “defensive” catcher.
Obviously, I’d prefer if we kept Eli and got some value out of Bengie by trading him to the Rangers, since they probably trip on three right-handed bats between the dugout and the clubhouse, but that’s just wishful thinking.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Yeah, what I had been hoping for in the offseason was that Buster was the starting catcher and Eli was the backup. But, of course, Bengie was re-signed.
I never thought of the Rangers as a destination for Bengie, but now you’ve brought it up, man, I hope they do work out some sort of trade.

If the giants actually do bring up posey, rowand should be benched and just move torres into center. I’m sure a lot of you would HATE to see rowand go, but regardless of money he needs some PINE.

Him playing the outfield is not an option apparently, so he can’t be that fast if they’ll play Huff there and not Posey.

If I had to make an eyeball estimate, I’m guessing he’s somewhere between Bowker and Schierholtz in terms of speed. Certainly not slow enough to be a problem anywhere in the field, but not exactly a “base-stealing threat.”

I don’t mean to compare them, but Bengie had a triple once. Multiple triples (e.g. Andres Torres) is a better indicator of speed than an isolated triple, though I’m sure you already knew that.

Like I said, he’s not catcher slow. He’s probably as fast as anyone in our infield, and maybe even faster that Aaron. I just think he’s only fast relative to his position, not to the league. He’s probably league average.

I had a great view of the ball from my seat (you can see it above), and it was slicing hard. If you watch the video you can see that he breaks towards center at first… He never really had a good angle on the ball.
If he sees the spin off the bat he probably makes that catch, but I think it would have been a “beyond the call of duty” sort of play for him to get there. Sadly, it also looks like he re-injured his shoulder going into the fence.

Not much info yet but it was in an apartment / condo complex that never got finished before the housing market tanked. So AFAIC it’s a wee bit suspicious in nature. http://www.news10.net/news/story.aspx?storyid=82461&catid=2
I wonder how long until rowand finally gets benched. He’ hitting an impressive .231, I figure he’ll have to sink below the derosa line before bork finally gets it. Unfortunately that probably won’t be until after the all star break and by then rowand will be in the low 100’s.
"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."
yeah I saw that but I was just speaking about rowand in general. We could actually have a somewhat legit line up with rowand out of it. Unfortunately bork will swear by rowand until rowand comes to bork himself and says “I suck, please bench me”.
"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."
You see the first comment on Baggs’ blog?? He/she said “Anybody would be an upgrade over Molina no doubt. But it’s unlikely Gerald will make this team playoff worthy. I suspect Gerald Posey’s future will follow the path of the past great can’t misses – Lance Niekro, Damon Minor, Tony Torcato, and all the other terrific Sabean position player signings. Best case scenario, Gerald Posey would be a better hitting Kurt Manwaring minus Manwaring’s gold glove prowess. Chris Carter and Michael Taylor are much better prospects in my humble opinion. I trust Billy Beane WAY more than Sabean don’t you??? Sabean also has a nasty temper just listen to that hilarious interview with the Razor.”

Silly me, I was thinking if they really ARE going to put Posey at first and Huff in left… you don’t take Torres out of the lineup right? So he goes to center and Rowand sits for a day or two
Given that Bengie and Rowand are at the bottom of the order now, it’s obvious that Bochy wants them to be good, but they’re not performing. I’m guessing he won’t pull both of them in the same day, but I could definitely see him benching them on consecutive days. Rowand will start tomorrow (with Sanchez pitching, Eli will be batting in Bengie’s place), and Rowand will probably rest on Sunday to get him rested up for the series with the Rockies.
If I’m right and Schierholtz aggravated his shoulder today, they’ll move Torres to RF for tomorrow… If Posey is actually with the team AND gets a start.

Why call up Buster? How many days a week can we realistically expect him to play? I swear if they dick around with him and end up giving him super 2 status without a tangible benefit…
Thing C
“When we bring him here, we want to make sure he’s on the field at least five days a week,” said GM Brian Sabean.
If he’s not catching 3 or 4 of those days, what’s the point? I don’t think he’s a tangible upgrade over Huff.
