Giants/A's Series Preview

PrintAnd the cross-Bay slap fight continues...
The strength of the Giants/A’s rivalry is somewhere between overblown and nonexistent. It’s really cute that the East Bay has their own team now and everything, but it doesn’t affect the Giants. Well, except when the Giants get totally embarrassed in Oakland. When that happens, maybe the intensity ratchets up a little
It’s not like I’m gritting my teeth, rocking back and forth in my chair, whittling a stabbin’ stick, and muttering awful things about Cliff Pennington. The rivalry’s not quite there yet. But the embarrassment of the Oakland sweep last month does kind of sting. When you follow a team that allows 2.8 runs a game and scores 2.9 runs a game, sometimes those runs will be distributed in one of those wacky "held scoreless for 74 consecutive innings despite great starting pitching of your own" sequences. And, brother, those are so, so amusing.
So here’s hoping that it’s the A’s turn for one of those sequences. Remember that in 2007, the A’s broke the truce. Look at all of that beautiful symmetry. So sportsmanlike. So gentlemanly.
"Here, chap, we’ll take two of the contests this year, and you’ll take two.""Splendid! We concur. But we’ll need an extra win in 2001, good sir."
"Not a problem. We will gladly exchange one for an extra win in 2002."
"Delightful! This is quite the mutually beneficial arrangement."
"Quite!"
Then in 2007, the truce was broken, with the A’s taking five of six. Ever since then, the gloves were taken off, and the slap fights have been epic. 2-0! 3-0! 4-1! Bases loaded pop-ups! Bases empty grounders! Every weak hitter for himself! It’s interesting that both teams have had a similar set of strengths and weaknesses over the last few seasons. Billy Beane and Brian Sabean both shop at the Garbage Hitter’s Emporium, but the only difference is that Sabean’s too embarrassed to clip coupons.
Hitter to watch:
Null set. This is an A’s/Giants game. But if you need to pick one, Daric Barton will do. Barton is a young, high-OBP, limited-power type who is just starting to flash his Mark Grace ceiling. If you want some laughs, try to guess how Barton would have been handled if he were on the Giants this year.
Well, Barty is our guy, and we’re not looking for other guys because we have a guy, and Barty’s our guy at first to start the year.Barton starts the season 1-for-13
Well, Barty isn’t seeing it well right now, so we’re going to sit him against the tough left-handers.
Barton sits against Doug Davis
Well, Barty’s not in a platoon. Remember that.
The Giants play six out of seven games against left-handed starters. Barton gets one pinch-hit at-bat against Jonathan Broxton and strikes out.
Well, Barty’s going to need some time in Fresno to get his head straight. He’s scuffling pretty bad right now.
Pitcher to watch:
Vin Mazzaro is a decent enough young starter. He’s a much better option than Todd Wellemeyer for the last spot of a rotation, which is where he is now because of injuries to Brett Anderson and Justin Duchscherer. Again, he’s decent enough, with the potential to become a rotation fixture if a few things break his way. But right now, he probably has a bounce in his step. He’s waking up with an unusual vigor. He can throw a tighter breaking ball, his control is suddenly perfect, and he can hear the thoughts of the opposing hitters. Congratulations, Vin. You’re starting against Matt Cain. The improvements are temporary, so enjoy pitching like Bob Feller while it lasts.
Prediction:
Less scoring than most of the World Cup games this weekend.

Charlie O was a mean fuck
His long time
announcerbootlicking asskissing minister of radio propaganda and team spy Monte Moore was let go at the end of the 1977 season by Finley. Moore found out he had been terminated when Blue Cross of Northern California denied a medical claim and informing him his employer had terminated his coverage through a report of termination of employment. That was the story printed in the Chronicle at the time.
The way he treated Vida Blue, Rob Andrews, and Dick Williams was a fucking travesty.

yes E
but he invented the DH! Actually he took Veeck’s idea and convinced MLB to go along. I’m sure you like that.
“Charlie O” is a great book- if you haven’t read it, it’s by Herb Michelson that covered the A’s for the Sacramento Bee before it was a way to move reconstituted paper pulp.
A lot of great stories about all kinds of things like the Great Bullhorn Incident featuring Dick Williams, Lew Krausse, Mike Andrews (which is what you were talking about, unless he did something to the non-hitting Giants 2B I don’t know about), etc. Finley liked/hated Michelson so he has a lot of firsthand stories about the guy.
It’s a good read and you clearly would enjoy it/be enraged by it.

Naming one bad move as if it proves that Beane isn’t good is ridiculous. His track record is the best in baseball. He clearly doesn’t have the advantage he once had, but that doesn’t mean he’s not good anymore.
They A’s have had 3 straight loosing season, but they’ve been decent this year, and have one of the very best young cores in baseball: 3-4 solid young position players (Barton, Sweeney, Suzuki, possibly Rosales), a fantastic collection of young MLB pitchers (Anderson, Gonzales, Braden, Cahilll, Outman, Bailey), and a solid system (ranked 11th by BA heading into this season).
And it’s all with a bottom 3 payroll. In the majors, not just the AL. Beane may have made some bad moves (some unlucky, like the Chavez contract, some genuinely baffling, like the Sheets contract) , but his overall tack record remains fantastic, and the A’s are looking like they could again be good for a long time.
He is not the greatest GM of all times (Bonds probably isn’t the greatest player of all times either), but he does seem like the best GM of his generation, which would make him one of the best of all times.
I was promised lasagna.
I'm not saying he's bad
just that he’s had his clankers, and the constant hoovering of him (probably seems worse in the bay area) is tiresome. And it’s not “naming one bad move”, you named a couple, and Jeremy Brown and Tim Hudson and others. They’ve won 75 games for three straight years, which is not the direction the team should be going (especially in a 4-team division) if he’s so superwonderful.
Whereas Terry Ryan produces Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, found Johan Santana in Rule 5, etc. and because there’s not a book about him, no one cares. It took them a while to get rolling, but once the kids started coming up they took off. Once they got out of the cellar they won three pennants and never finished below .500. Not too bad. Maybe Brad Pitt’s available.

And to their Billy Beane worship I offer this simple retort: Bradley for Ethier.
That is indeed naming one bad move as if it proves anything. That was the comment I replied to.
That you (and others) keep naming Jeremy Brown as a bad move just makes it seem like you’re desperate to make Beane look bad. The guy wasn’t even a 1st round pick – 35th overall. If you look at picks 30-40 in the draft, you’ll find 9 guys who never played a single game in the majors, plus one well below average major leaguer (Mark Teahen). Not finding an MLB player with 35th pick does not count as a bad move.
Clearly Beane is way too famous compared to other good GM’s, thanks to Moneyball. If that’s your point than I agree. But it’s not true that “nobody cares” about the Twins – everyone within the baseball community knows that they are a very good organization. The main reason that Ryan isn’t that famous is probably that the Twins have always been viewed as a team that’s based almost entirely on drafting (like the Braves), and it’s not clear how much credit the GM should get for that (Sabean, for example, said that he didn’t really get involved in this year’s draft). Maybe Ryan is underrated, I don’t know. But this isn’t really relevant to how good Beane is.
I was promised lasagna.
Yes that is my point
Beane is overrated. Ryan is directly relevant to whether Beane is “the best of his generation”, and clearly underrated compared to Beane.

I don’t have much experience in dealing with them, but I do remember being confused by a thread over at AN in which people were getting mightily pissed that Giants fans won’t get into fights with them.

I'm apathetic towards the A's
I used to go to some games when I was a kid, and loved watching Ricky Henderson, but really, I just don’t give them a second thought at this point.
Which is probably why it’s so frustrating to lose to them.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
I’m in this line. I like giving A’s fans a hard time when they play us but I grew up in Oakland and went to plenty of A’s games in the day that I don’t really have the same animosity towards them that I do for teams like the Phils or Braves.
Plus I really admire them for having a (mostly) competent GM who can put together winning teams with only magic beans.

When I was a kid
I was a fan of the A’s and Giants equally (the A’s a bit more, I guess because they won more).
However, as I got older, the A’s became more and more irrelevant to my rooting interests and the Giants took center place more and more.
Now I care very very little about the A’s.

It already gets cold during night games. I see no reason why they should blow more air around their empty stadium.
Also, I would like to see the Giants’ squadron win the greater of the matches against their weekend opponent, but admit that I am apprehensive. I find it a bit more likely that they will lose more games in competitive events versus the Athletics.

It is entirely binary as far as I am concerned. Dodgers = 0, all other teams = 1
Expressed in psuedo-code, it would be:
IF Dodgers THEN HATE
ELSE MEH
This is just another series that I want the Giants to win.

In a shameless (totally lacking in shame!) attempt to maybe see some actual players on the field at the finish line, I had been trying to do actual math to figure out just how slowly I had to run this little half marathon to maybe catch some on-field shenanigans, but it seems that the event organizers totally saw me coming as the runner instructions advise um, yeah, you need to hustle. Yes, you
OSH Baseball Tip: Your hair? It's dumb.
Yeah, they’ll close the gates to the field if you’re too late. Last year, Jeremy Affeldt was at the starting line on some type of stage thing, so you might get to see one player. It might even be Matt Cain, who I think is involved with the charity benefitting from the run (last year, the run was on a Cain start, so they marched Jeremy out there).

And watch them flop around on shore. The Admiral would laugh as the Quarren was gasping for breath.

Although if we had won in ‘89 I’d still be talking about it.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Well yeah, because that '89 team was legendary and what was right in this 9-year old's world.
But at the same time, we made a play for the World Series in 2002, despite it being shortened due to the meteor catastrophe. An appearance regardless, but it was lot sooner than what Oakland has accomplished lately.

Larry Bird’s “left handed” game
So apparently Larry Bird decided before the game to finish every basket left handed in the paint. Just to keep it more fun. He ended up scoring 22 points with his left hand. The announcers had no idea in the beginning and kept commenting on how well he is able to use both hands. They started catching on later.
Legendary stuff.

The fire was scarier as we had orange glowing embers raining down on us like some kind of Fourth of July celebration gone horribly wrong.
We [the cat and I] heard the gunshots this morning at 5:45. Hopefully the baby will be alright, at 16 months of age s/he isn’t going to remember much of what happens. The selfishness of the hostage taker is annoying, but apparently he’s got some mental health issues and is off his meds.
Damn-that fire sounds scary as hell
but yeah, hopefully the guy is caught with the baby unharmed

Huff could probably use a rest
He’s been playing a lot lately.
Seems to apply today, too.
We can stay in the Bay Area, at least notionally, for the next one. On the same day that Geren was going all Ned Yost on the A’s, Bruce Bochy was bringing his own brand of special to the Giants, sliding Pablo Sandoval, only the second-best hitter in his organization, down to eighth against the Pirates. Eighth. One slot above the pitcher. Four slots below Bengie Molina and his 650 OPS. Two spots below Pat Burrell, the waiver bait who’d just washed out of the big-boy league after a season and change of, hey, a 650 OPS.
The justification for the move was the presence of Paul Maholm on the mound, and Sandoval’s apparent inability to hit left-handers, as shown by his .246/.288/.344 line against them in 2010 in 66 plate appearances. That performance has dragged his career line against southpaws all the way down to .324/.368/.488. Burrell is hitting .091/.192/.136 against them this year, after .202/.336/.252 in 2009. Maybe we’ll just never see Aaron Rowand again: he’s at .224/.254/.388 this year. No, wait…that’s what he hits all the time. I’m not sure Mark DeRosa has a job waiting for him when he comes back, what with his .197/.279/.258 line. If Bruce Bochy really wants to make lineup decisions based on 2010 stat lines, he’s welcome to do so, but he’s doing it wrong.
That’s not what he’s doing, of course. No, slotting Sandoval eighth was just the latest example of the longest-running strain of managerial idiocy: blaming your best players for your problems. The Giants can’t score, and Bochy is stuck with Molina and Rowand and Burrell, all Professional Veteran Hitters, so kick Sandoval for not hitting .330 so as to make the complete lack of offense on the 40-man roster maybe a little less obvious. It was a laughably incompetent decision, unjustifiable based on small samples and embarrassing when looking at larger ones.
On Sunday, the Giants faced Ross Ohlendorf, a right-hander. Sandoval was back in his customary #3 spot. Batting sixth? Bengie Molina and his 515 OPS (.239 OBP!) against righties. Behind him was Buster Posey, who isn’t allowed to catch or bat higher because…well, because the Giants are run by human fail. Travis Ishikawa, slugging .520 this year and possessing ninja skills at first base, was forced to watch all this from the bench. People wonder why I say I could take 30 people off my Twitter feed and upgrade the manager pool in MLB. The challenge would be not covering the spread.
Is it sad that this post from over a year ago still applies today?

How do you mean?
I like Span. Nice fast, high-OBP, solid D outfielder, and to tie it in with the Billy Beane/Moneyball talk up thread, Beane was so sure that “Span fucked [him]” with the signing bonus demands. Span’s got everything.

I do like Span because I like fast guys with little power who still manage to get on base (which is why I also like Figgins and Castillo. And, uh, Fred Lewis). But I don’t really like the Canadian guy, and I hate Delmon Young for wasting so much talent with his stupid stupid approach. Asshole.
The rest just don’t really interest me. Obviously it’s all subjective.

I dunno, I don’t think Razor’s out of line here at all. He brings up the questions in a way that sets up Sabez to offer a reasonable answer, and Sabez keeps going “FINE THEN LET’S SWITCH JOBS! I DON’T MAKE AS MUCH AS YOU THINK!” or something of that nature.

OT: recycling question
My cordless drill just died. Can you recycle those? E-waste? It’s got some kind of re-chargeable battery in it that will no longer hold a charge. The batteries are inaccessible so I’m guessing I can’t just swap them out for new ones.
hmm, there’s been a commercial running about how to recycle these types of things. Also, there’s a great thing called Freecycle that is essentially a marketplace for offloading unwanted items. So, the answer is, don’t put it in the trash, as there is a better destination. Maybe this will get you started: http://www.erecycle.org/search.asp

what kind?
i recently replaced a rechargeable battery in one of my cordless drills. i had to do some internet searching for the correct battery replacement and a little dismantling of the drill handle to access and replace the battery. as a result, i have a good as new older drill that i use constantly
...Dr. Vader will see you now.
Wow, really? That’d be cool. It’s a 7.2 volt Black and Decker that is at least 10 years old. I just figured because the whole assemblage was pretty much screwed shut the battery wasn’t replaceable. I guess I could just unscrew it and see what’s in it, I mean it can’t get any more unusable.
exactly
mine was a black and decker also. google the model number and/or poke around the black and decker site for the model and battery part number. the B&D site may not carry the battery anymore, but likely you’ll find one at a 3rd party seller. my replacement battery cost under $20 including shipping. mine was the PD600 6 volt model i bought originally about 6 years ago.

Even stranger is that we praise Zito for these numbers and condemn Timmy.
Either it’s good pitching or it’s not. Sure, you can bring in their salaries and number of Cy Youngs, etc.
I’m completely ok with still having one of the best rotations in baseball, even if it still means we’re the only ones who know who Matt Cain is. (Maybe that will serve us well in the long run?)

Because it’s felt that Timmy can do better than that, but for Zito it’s about as well as he’s going to do.

Oh, I get it. This was just more of a rhetorical statement.
There are plenty of other teams that wish they could have two young pitchers with ERAs in the low 3/high 2 range. Factor in Timmy’s strikeouts and all the other extenuating stats, and people are still jealous, even if we’re disappointed lately.
Though, I can’t say I’m disappointed in Zito this season. He’ll never earn the contract he signed, but this year feels much more like he’s pitching the way we had hoped from day one.

The good thing he has is his youth. You’d be starting with his age 28 season. A 6 year deal would be through age 33.
If you could keep it to that, it might all work out ok. It’s when it gets past that that I get ascared.

Linux has the functional equivalent of WMP, but the issue would be to get the stream to it. I know there are some services (or whatever they call themselves) that do stream without a need for special proprietary software, but none of those seem to have it.

If Barton turns out to be a solid 1B, the Mark Mulder trade officially becomes insane. Mulder for Haren alone was a huge steal, as Haren was better, under control for 4 more years, and cheaper. Add 6 years of Barton, plus a few years of Kiko Calero, and it’s just ridiculous.
Also, Kiko Calero had a 1.95 ERA in 60 innigs pitched in 2009. Kiko Calero has not signed with a team in 2010. That’s pretty weird.

turning Haren into Anderson et al counts for that trade too, right?
