Post-game thread: Giants tie, lose game in the ninth
by Grant Brisbee on May 7, 2010 7:05 PM PDT
Email
PrintIf this season goes anywhere -- if there's indeed magic inside, right next to the nougat center -- one of my favorite moments might be the John Bowker home run. Not for Bowker's sake, though it must have felt pretty good to get a little further away from the Mendoza line and tie the game at the same time, but because of Eli Whiteside's reaction. By pinch-hitting for Whiteside, Bruce Bochy implicitly acknowledged (rightfully so) that Whiteside wasn't as good as a guy hitting .200. When Bowker hit the homer, validating Bochy's judgment call, Whiteside was the most excited guy on the bench.
After a series sweep, that's what I'll take from a cruddy, hard-fought loss like this. Also, Jonathan Sanchez deserves a lot of credit for not folding up like an umbrella after SoloFest '10; two years ago, all of those home runs would have been followed by six walks.
At this point, though, I'd like to humbly request that Sergio Romo stop giving up home runs in inappropriate situations. You're still the official funky breaking ball, multiple arm slot reliever of McCovey Chronicles, but work with us here.

I was referring to his AB in the 8th, where the exact same thing happened… though I misremembered. On the third pitch, he popped up in foul territory to Wright. Good as a strikeout, and it was still the same pitch.

Romo Needs To be Demoted to Middle Relief with Mota Replacing Him In The Setup Role
The league is figuring it out that if you look for the slider and wait for him to leave one inside he will.
This certainly seems to be the case

Wilson Should Drop His Slider And Just Go With His Cutter And Fastball

his slider has been a positive pitch for him every year of his career
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I Think PitchFx Has A Hard Time Telling Which Is Which And Thus I Don't Trust Their Data Here
There is very little difference between the velocity and the movement (both direction and amount) of these two pitches. However, when I watch Brian pitch (and i have watched him alot over his career) I can tell by his grip which he is throwing and my observations tell me he has demonstrated better command with his cutter then with his slider.
One other thing you might notice is that PitchFx shows that he has decreased his slider usage from a high of 22% in 2007 to a low of 5.9% last year while increasing his cutter percentage from a low of 1.4% in 2006 to a high of 36.2% this year. While I believe the general trend of fewer sliders and more cutters is true I think PitchFx greatly overstates this because it miss labels too many sliders as cutters. My view is that many if not most of the negative results PitchFx attributes to cutters are really sliders. In fact this is why I think Brian has been gradually decreasing his use of his slider and gradually increasing the use of his cutter. I think it is time to just completely replace the slider with the cutter.

Romo now has 2 walks in 14 innings.
I don’t think command is his problem.

So is control the ability to throw a strike, and command the ability to place said strike where you want it? I remember hearing there’s a difference but I don’t remember what it is.

I agree with Krukow. A third pitch would help Romo a lot.

Romo is educating MCC on the value of good fastballs and hard breaking balls thrown down and in. Romo has crazy break on his slider and its way fun to watch but if you are throwing something belt high that is supposed to break down and away, and it doesn’t, its going to be extremely easy to hit.
No one here gets out alive.
His slider is very good, the location on the HR that Barajas hit was not so good.
Ask me about my blog.
Rob Nenn had a good slider. It started at the knees and broke straight down. I like that.
No one here gets out alive.
So did Robb Nen. But sometimes he hung them and people hit them hard. When we remember someone who was good — especially someone as completely awesome as Nen — we tend to ignore their bad moments. Need I mention Neifi Perez?

that was in Coors though. I think that’s what bugged me so much about this game. The Mets’ hitters hate CitiField because they can’t hit homeruns here. Yet we come in here and they hit FOUR of them. To make it worse, they were all by their number seven and eight hitters. Want worse? Jonathan Sanchez hadn’t given up a homerun all season and he gives up three. Want worse than that? He hadn’t given up a single HIT to a left handed batter all season, and he gives up two homeruns to a lefthand hitting rookie. Want worser? Barajas was injured on that seventh inning catcher’s interference but chose to stay in the game and he hit the game winner. Want worsest? Barajas wasn’t even supposed to play. Henry Blanco is Pelfrey’s personal catcher, but Manuel decided to put him in at the last minute because the offense is slumping. What’s worse than worsest? It all happened with me in the park, at the only game I’ll be going to all season. FUCK MAN!!!

Time for Bowker to get some PT
he should be starting in left field against righties.
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
on further review, it appears Affeldt overtook him after yesterday's game per Fangraphs
but once todays’ game gets taken into account, he will be back as the worst.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Pablo needs to get out of this slump
there were so many times today where he stranded runners on base if he could have gotten a hit in just one of those situations we could have won this game
It’s amazing how quickly a guy can go from hitting pretty well to having a few hitless games to being completely out of whack at the plate. I remember yelling at some guy for asking why Pablo was having a bad year back when he was hitting for a 1.000+ OPS and now that guy is probably right.

Ahahaha, I love the title.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
I'm not dismayed by this loss.
I think Romo was tired and shouldn’t have been in there, but it’s not like the Giants were loaded with options. Medders isn’t good and Mota, well, I suppose they’re largely the same. Romo gives up the homers. I guess that’s the difference. Still, the Giants played well enough. Played hard with a decent thing. Came close, good performance from Bowker (will translate into more PT, I feel), just didn’t pull it off.
What dismays a fella is Wellemeyer pitching on the following day.
"Career potential: situational lefty." Situation: Ragnarok, bases loaded, Odin at the plate. You know who's getting the call.
-Adopted Giant: Dan Runzler
This does sound like ex-post analysis
and with that mea culpa, I think Mota should have been in there. Romo with this + Manny game + Philly game is proving a little too gopher-ball prone for my linking
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
I was uncomfortable when he came in.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Wellemeyer is as bad
as everyone else here seems to think he is.
He seemed to really only be getting lit up that one game. Other than that, he’s been pretty decent for a #5. I think it is unfair to compare him to the rest of the staff which are all top-notch pitchers.
I don’t like Wellemeyer vs Johan

I have a bunch of stuff I have to get done in the next few days – take this test, get my fingerprints sent to the university, get another TB test, etc etc. I don’t know if I even really need to register for classes, because I think everyone in the program has the exact same schedule for the Summer quarter.

In Cali you have to have minimum of live scan [fingerprints] and a tb clearance. CBEST, and CPR can also be required.

Dirty, way to hang with ‘em when you didn’t have your best stuff.
Romo… dude. Party foul.
But Mota would most certainly not have been a good choice, despite GRM’s arguments. He was an abysmally bad pitcher for the Mets last year, and would’ve pulled a Benitez-style implosion. I am firmly against him pitching in this series at all except in long-relief mop-up duty tomorrow when WelLOLmyer gives up 10 runs in 2+ innings.

OK, fine, two years ago. The point is, I was at the Benitez game, and when the bullpen gates opened to reveal ‘Mando coming in, the Shea crowd didn’t know whether to laugh or boo (they did both simultaneously). That’s what would happen if Mota came in, and that has to get into a pitcher’s head. There are some situations where sabermetrics go out the window.

Went to Citi Field tonight
I’d lost all credibility with my wife when I proclaim doom & gloom for the Giants. I lost even more when Bowker hit the home run & we made enemies in our section by cheering obnoxiously. Then I gained a bit of credibility back via Barajas. Ugh.
Just got back from the game. Pretty meh overall. I only get to see the Giants once a year, and I would have liked to see some better pitching, but I was next to a nice Giants couple and there were 5-10 Giants fans scattered around us. After the Bowker home run we were all up on our feet screaming. We were right along the right field foul line and when we saw it was fair… great moment.

Bully to all points listed.
I was late for my Mom’s birthday dinner and sat in the restaurant parking lot cockeyed nodding affirmation at Bowker replacing Whiteside and was rewarded. Mom understood. Good one for Boche there. I still have a hard time being mad at Romo. I really want to be though.
Bochy quote in regards to Velez being sent down via Schulman
“In fairness to him, it was a small sample size,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “When Rowand went down, he assumed the leadoff spot, and he struggled there. He was pressing a little bit. Enough time went by where he didn’t play. We thought he should get some at-bats in Fresno.”

I was surprised him to see that
but later in the same article he goes on about Downs batting .500 in 25 AB. I’m glad Velez went down but I’m not going to pretend it’s for any reason other than Downs doing well in the same SSS in which “Geno” struggled.

So much for this
Pablo Sandoval might need a day to clear his head, but Bochy likes him against Johan Santana.

Sanchez, though. For a guy out there with nothing working, he pitched with some serious cojones.
Please hit better, Mark DeRosa.
