Post-game thread: Giants sweep the Marlins
by Grant Brisbee on May 6, 2010 7:18 PM PDT
Email
PrintThere’s no reason to think that Aaron Rowand transforms from an average player into an All-Star every three years. There’s no celestial alignment, no moons-of-Jupiter tugging on his talent humor. Sure, there’s precedent. It was scientifically proven that Robb Nen was affected by biannual patterns of underground geothermal spring activity, which is why he alternated great years with okay years. But that was proven through a series of peer-reviewed papers. There’s nothing like that for Rowand. There’s no reason to think that every three years, Rowand becomes a beast of a hitter.
But danged if that wouldn’t be cool. While Matt Cain deserves all sorts of credit for being Matt Cain when being Matt Cain was exactly what the Giants needed, it would be remiss to write about the Giants sweep of the Marlins without focusing on Aaron Rowand for just a second. Runs batted in all over the place, balls flying out of the park, and diving catches in crucial spots: Welcome back, Aaron.
And I’m starting to believe it’s just a wee bit of magic inside, with inside being defined as wherever the Giants are.

Magic inside Renteria’s aggravated groin

I’ll get a little froggy about it when The Bums don’t have like 17 more games vs the Rox to play and the Rox manage to win more then 1 game out of 3 (12-24 in the last 2 seasons with only a Rox L this year so far).
Threat level that the 2010 Pads finish with more wins than the 2010 Giants is currently at: 27%

I don’t really think about the pitchers we face at all, since most of the runs we score are a complete fluke anyway, and are just as likely to happen vs a great or an awful pitcher.

Proud papa to: Bill Schlough, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, aka the IT guy.
saying he hasn’t been bad this season isn’t? he’s had more games looking like the edgar renteria of last year than not. i think it’s a better argument to invoke SSS, for either perspective.
anyways, looking back it’s really not anything against Edgar Renteria personally, I just prefer seeing Juan Uribe and Matt Downs (while he’s still hitting well). Was disappointed to see Renteria make it into the starting lineup today when Downs has been crushing…again, not because of Edgar, but mainly because Juan or Matt would’ve sat.
that’s all.
Looking at most stats at this point in the season is cherry picking. Before he was hurt, Renteria was coming out of his slump. Downs being excellent is just as likely to be a mirage as renteria. Wanting to play the “hot hand” is fine, wanting renteria to get more rest because of downs play is fine, but we don’t know Rent is horrible yet.

The 2010 Dodgers is a disaster that is only going to get worse. I’m sorry I bought tickets to their set versus the Giants in the bay at the end of July… they’ll probably be 15 games behind the Giants and get swept too. What a waste of money already.

I liked this game but (tl;dr)
Bochy completely mishandled this game from the beginning. First of all he benched a red hot Matt Downs for a sore Edgar Renteria. That wasn’t surprising, just annoying. Then Renteria gets injured and will probably be out for the next 15 days. Again this isn’t season shattering news since Sanchez should be coming back, Downs is hitting well and Rohlinger is doing well at Fresno.
What did surprise me was the way Bochy screwed up the bullpen. Cain should not have started the 8th, he was clearly tiring at the end of the 7th. Runzler should’ve started the 8th and Mota, the 9th. Instead Cain ends his great game by giving up 2 hits, and Runzler-still a rookie- gets put into a high pressure situation that Bochy created. Then Bochy gives him 2 batters and removes him after a walk. In that scenario bringing in Mota was probably the right call, but that scenario should never have been created.
The bullpen was the one area where I still trusted Bochy, but after tonight I have no faith in him at all. Yes I know this is extreme SSS but it’s just the straw the broke the camel’s back. I now do not trust Sabean or Bochy to do anything correctly.
Whatever. I guess I should just enjoy the win.

Kool aid much? Just because a team wins doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Not to say I completely agree with what he’s saying. Bochy just isn’t a smart person.
It’s not exactly breaking news. To reiterate heimy, just enjoy the sweep for the time being.
You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.
Yes, but Bochy’s decisions affect the number of sweeps the team does get.
Just because he got lucky once doesn’t mean playing the probability game wrongly is a good thing.

The bullpen was really the one area where you trusted Bochy?
he has been mismanaging the BP forever.
Runzler was put in a high pressure situation? He came into a tie game the other night, struck out the side and got the win. That was a lot more pressure than the situation he came into tonight.

If you're gearing up for a post-season run
…you want as many BP guys as possible ready to handle high-pressure situations. Runzler has stuff that can potentially help deliver this team to the post-season. I don’t want him just doing mop-up duty.
That’s why I loved Bochy running Romo back out there even after his recent struggles.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
Neither of those really bothers me. Renteria’s a better player than Downs; if he’s healthy, he should be starting.
As for Cain, I didn’t watch the game so I can’t argue the point about him looking tired. But his pitch count was low, the bottom of the order was up, and the bullpen has been working a lot in this series. Trying to get one more inning out of the starter makes sense to me.
do you still believe that?
Edgar just looks cooked completely. I know everyone is expecting a dead cat bounce, but I think that may be too much to ask.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
I honestly think it was the first hot series
And I’m very guilty of “what I see” SYNDROME here perhaps, but jeez.

well
their ZIPS ROS projection wOBAs are the same, and Rent plays a more valuable position. Downs’ overall ZIPS is a bit better, but again, he plays a less valuable position. And he’s been average defensively the last 2 years, so you can’t just dismiss it by saying “well, he plays a BAD shortstop.” Well, I mean, I guess you could, but you’d be wrong.

also
Rent posted the best K/BB ratio on the team last year, as well as posting the worst BABIB of his career without a drop in LD%. There are a lot of reasons to think that, while he probably won’t post a wRC+ of 100+, he’s not actually anywhere near as bad as he was last year.

Even if that's not true
Uribe is better than Rent, and I’d rather have him out there even if Downs is a downgrade from Rent. Downs has fielded much better than I expected, at least in the games I’ve seen with my subjective and unreliable eyes.

Leaving Cain in
I like that he gives his starters a chance to continue until real signs of trouble. Maybe it’s one of those “intangibles”, but I think showing that kind of confidence in your staff pays dividends; it keeps players engaged and makes them play hard for you. I want my starter to feel like he “owns” the game and is responsible for it, not feeling like he’ll get a quick hook and has to rely on the bullpen.

When the season is done
Tim will have more Ks and also more BBs. I would bet that his ERA is slightly better, but they’ll be in the same range.
It’ll come down to the dumb stat: Wins. And even if the Giants win the West, Halladay will probably have an edge there.
That and the fact that the voters like to vote for someone new. Witness Terry Pendleton’s MVP award.

he was way better than either of those cardinal douchebags
there really shouldn’t have even been a discussion. Carpenter didn’t even get to 200 fucking innings so I don’t even know why he was as close to winning it as he was. Tim was better than Wainwright in every way.
If Wainwright or Carpenter had 20 wins they would have likely won.

If Renteria goes to the DL, Rohlinger is really our only option for a backup SS. That makes me sad.

Not that sad, really
I think Rohlinger will become a major league swingman. Sort’ve a Uribe sans power, with better defense.

2010 Giants: "The thing is, it happened."
Is Rohlinger an acceptable SS? I thought he was mostly confined to 3B.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
We've only seen him there a little bit in the majors
But he made no errors and is pretty quick on his feet. I think he can handle SS. It’s him or Angel Berroa!
My Son.
2010 Giants: "The thing is, it happened."
He only started playing games at SS and 2B last season. He seems decent at least, but there’s not enough data yet on him.

Consensus from the GDT was “yes.” I’d want DeRosa at 3rd, Uribe at SS, Downs at 2B, and Bowker in LF.

Ah. Forgot about DeRosa. That makes more sense since im not sure Rohlinger could be here for the game tomorow. Good call.

I think Uribe’s elbow is still nagging, and I’d like him not to aggravate it. But a day off for him is unlikely unless Rohlinger gets the call, since I don’t think anybody else can play SS for us.

Like I said, it’s not quite “all hands on deck” with Wellemeyer yet, so i don’t expect a switch forthcoming and therefore am not going to bark about making one, and Todd’s looked good in his last two starts. I never trusted Joey past the 5th inning last season, but don’t really know how he looks this year.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
I think it's kinda the same
Good ERA but he’s only gone into the 6th once. My thing is I trust Joey to keep us in the game for 5 or 6 innings whereas Wellemeyer could keep us close into the 7th or the game could be over in the 2nd inning.

Mr. F! | comics | art | New Nattowear | Unofficial McImage Directory
this awesome note inspired me to look up random stats:
None of the starting pitchers have given up more than 3ER in a game since Wellemeyer got rocked in LA (April 16).
…in fact, none of the first 4 starters have given up more than 3ER in a game at all.
• Lincecum has faced 160 batters and given up only 5 extra base hits. (Ubaldo: 160/8, Halladay:185/12)
• Zito is dominating the middle of orders. 3-4-5-6 hitters batting .158/.118/.000(yes, zero)/.063 respectively
• Cain’s first win of the season coincided with the first time the Giants scored more than 3 runs for him while he was in the game. Last year they did it by the 5th inning of his first start.
• Sanchez still hasn’t given up a hit to a left-handed batter this season.
• Wellemeyer…really should avoid David Wright this weekend (8/11 lifetime vs. Todd) and focus on Jason Bay (3/16). Bay’s the only current Met not hitting above .333 against Wellemeyer. But to provide one positive: his splits are good against righties (.163/.281/.265)
Nate's arm
is currently tied at 2nd most valuable in the majors. Everyone else tied with him has played at least 50 more innings. Carl Crawford is ahead of him (at 2.6 runs to Nate’s 2.2) but has played 80 more innings. (237 to 157)

Anybody have good ideas of specific subjects to explore? We have to turn in a list of 3 desired topics (fourier series, calculus of baseball, calculus of dams, weierstrass function, etc., no need to be uber-specific) by today.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
