Post-game thread: Oh, *that* Lincecum

PrintThat game was seventeen different kinds of awesome.
First off, it’s kind of an unfortunate tradition to ignore the contributions of the players who don’t have favored nation status around here. So, well done, Bengie. Way to work back from an 0-2 count. Boffo home run in a good spot. That goes for Pat Burrell too. The Giants could use a lot more of those two-run home runs. Two or three per game, and they’ll win a bunch!
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s all think about the coming awesome apocalypse.
See, Tim Lincecum is established awesome. Two Cy Youngs awesome. He came up from the minors, unloaded a fire extinguisher of awesome all up on the league, and he’s been awesome since. That three start stretch of wonky-control funkiness? A ruse to root out the non-believers. He’s still awesome, and he just struck your mom out on a changeup if you weren’t one of the true believers.
But Buster Posey is awesome, too. It’s more of a speculative awesome, as he isn’t as established as Lincecum, but it’s still awesome in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. The noodles in power plunked Posey down at first so they could shift Aubrey Huff to left, which put Pablo Sandoval at shortstop, Matt Cain was in center....none of it made sense. But Posey said, fine, I’ll play first. And he did. And he did so quite well. He dove, and leapt, and started 3-6-3 double plays. And he hit booming triples off of nasty relievers.
One of these days, the clouds of awesome in the clubhouse will combine. Scientists argue as to what that will mean, but it’s a little scary. There’s a chance it could open up a black hole, or a portal to another dimension. Until then, it’s just awesome.
Fine game, chaps. Also, awesome.

He made some really good moves
But they’ve also done some headscratchingly stupid things too. There is some speculation that the owners are interfering as well.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
They made some good moves for sure, but I think everyone was waiting for him to do a bit more on offense and he never pulled it off.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
The offense was going to be ok
Before they decided to go with Griffey and Sweeney. Those two moves completely fucked them over.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
To clarify
By ok, I meant good enough given their pitching and defense, not a strength.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Yeah, and they committed themselves to both of them fairly early on.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Sweeney won the job in ST
Not sure when they signed up Griffey, but regardless, the combination was murder. Two guys on the bench who can’t play the field in the DH league is rough. They deserve full demerits for that.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
I’m pretty sure they signed Griffey like less than a month into the offseason.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I think you're right
And they could have survived that questionable move (which is the part that I was referring to the ownership interfering) without also keeping Sweeney.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Mike Sweeney has a .354 wOBA and is giving them 0.4 WAR, which is more than either of his previous two seasons.
But I guess that’s not particularly sustainable.

He's also hurt, unsurprisingly
He did great in Spring Training and was good for them to start. But, it also forced Bradley into LF, when he should be DHing, and left Saunders SOL when he probably should be given an everyday shot in the majors.

if he's moving off catcher to anywhere
it should be to 2nd base. His bat and arm would be pretty damn valuable there, and I think his defense would transition there as well.

3B
SS
LF

Sorry
I’ve been extremely chippy lately. Most of what I wrote was directed to people in general, not you.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
I've been in the "he's a catcher" camp
But seriously, he’s looking more and more like the best hitter on the team for years to come. Do you want your #3 hitter sitting every 5th day?
There’s some trade offs here, of course. By putting him a C, you’re able to put other bats at positions that are easier to fill, like 1B and LF. I get that. But as Wilriv said above, maybe Posey is a 3B. After watching him pounce on balls last night and knowing 3B is a pretty tough position to fill, it has me wondering.
If Buster is looking out for his own interests, he’d be wise to move and prolong his career.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
So, the only catcher you can ever have is one with no offensive ability? And, if Posey is the best offensive player on your team, you likely have a shitty offense. His bat is good, not great.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Stop it. Just stop it.. He’s had 40 PA’s. These 40 PA’s do not suddenly make him a great hitter. Similar sample sizes have convinced you in the past that John Bowker is our new slugging LF, that Ryan Sadowski can be a major league pitcher, that Aaron Rowand is a good player, and that the 2010 San Francisco Giants are actually patient.
I was promised lasagna.

So to what degree was Lincecum awesome? I’ve missed him.

He seemed a bit shaky at first, but at a certain point, he really settled down and he was lights out from that point on until the 8th.

please tell us the rest of the story since you left the part out about Lowe and the little missus already being separated. And the Dodgers post game show lady, Ms Carolyn Hughes, was also separated from her man.
It is funny because after his win as a Dodger Carolyn interviewed him and I could sense a very good vibe between the two.

Oh i remember that shit, i was just talking about it with my parents
and they just talked about how he killed his wife, and i was all WTF
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
The one about Ricky pissed me off
Look I get that Ricky is eccentric, Ricky is a loner, Ricky is an artist. Ricky had a tough upbringing. Ricky is misunderstood. But the biggest thing I learned from that 30/30 is that Ricky is irresponsible and doesn’t take things seriously when they are serious. Ricky has kids with three different women and jerks everyone around whenever it strikes his fancy. It reminded me of Neil Young, when he used to skip out on concerts because his ‘muse’ told him not to play. Dude it’s your fucking job, your fucking family, grow the fuck up and stop being a goddamned hippy. He’s the most selfish and lackadaisical figure I’ve seen in a long time.
Ricky is a damned fine football player and a really smart guy, but he never ONCE acted like an adult in that film. He acted like a rich teenager backpacking through Europe on daddy’s money.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
Yea, that was the past, he finally put his life back together
and he’s finally doing things with his children, the one he had with the current wife, but yea, i can see what you’re getting at. But seriously, where he came from? He’s made a huge turnaround from where he once was, and THATS where i feel good about him, of course that doesnt take anything away from what he did to his previous girlfriends
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
agreed
the very end was the only part of the film that made Ricky look anything but a total buffoon. I hope he kicks butt for Miami this year and does right by all his kids. He has much to atone for.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
Yep!
i totally agree, he’s just a role model almost for people who really fucked over themselves and others, and he could really use his experience to change other peoples lives, and i hope people look at that and say “wow, if he could do it, i can do this too and get over this sort of thing”

I think it happened at lunchtime at Mira Loma HS in Carmichael.
A teacher brought in a TV for anyone interested. Obviously, the classroom was packed.

We don’t ignore contributions from unfavored players out of spite. We do it to compensate for the fact that we know Bochy and Sabean sure as hell aren’t ignoring those contributions. Assuredly Molina and Burrell will be batting 4 and 5 ere too long now if we know Bochy at all.
Also, Molina really wouldn’t be disliked as he is if Bochy, Sabean, and all their paid henchmen didn’t coddle him while contributions from players like Schierholtz go completely unrecognized.

A buddy of mine broke his foot early this year and developed blood clots because the cast was too tight, IIRC.
He was really shaken, and had to take blood thinners for months. Worse, he had to maintain his blood at the thickness it had been when the thinners were prescribed: no booze, no pot, no coffee, no aspirin. And of course he was housebound, because you can’t really drive with a giant cast on your right foot. He went a little stir-crazy there for a bit.

As much as he dominated at times, Timmy still wasn’t at his best and his velocity was still down a bit. However, it seems that this is a game that he can build on in getting back to his dominant self. If he can regain his control with the fastball he’d better suited to handle the slight loss in velocity. if he gets that back, look out. Overall, I think he’s turning the corner and he’ll be back soon to his cy young form.

Toronto Blue Jays, can i haz one?

I don't understand him
He just comes out of nowhere and is crushing home runs and walking a ton. Perhaps the Canadians got some friendly stuff for him.

Toronto is an awesome place dude
and who knows about that place, i dunno if the park plays small or what
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Yes to Choo
Hopefully he’s one of our trade targets towards the deadline. I’d like him or Alex Rios if we try to pick up an OF bat.
Trading for Choo might not be so wise.
You know he’s expected to report for duty in the South Korean army next year, right? And IIRC, he’s requested an exemption and been turned down.
He’s going to have to choose between serving his country or getting millions of dollars to defect. Which would normally be pretty easy (for me, anyway); bucks and baseball beat marching and digging, and it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission. But considering that tensions on the Korean Peninsula are redlining right now and the war could go hot at any moment, Choo’s loyalty to flag might win out.
So unless it’s an addition-by-subtraction trade (Sizemore’s out for the year! The Indians need a CF! Rowand and Velez for Choo!), I’d rather wait until he’s a free agent.
He’s a great bat, though. No doubt about that.

Santana is incredible. He is less athletic than Posey, but dude has a ton of power. I really enjoyed watching him this year.
The team historian dug out the following comparison. It’s a bit SSS, but still interesting.
1996 Columbus Clippers: Jorge Posada .271/.405/.460 at age 24.
2010 Columbus Clippers: Carlos Santana .316/.447/.597 at age 24.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
A (rough) catcher who walks more than he strikes out and has good power? Yes please.
For the record too, everyone talks about how Santana really needs to improve his catching game, yet NO ONE talks about moving him off the position. And he has a much better bat than Posey.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
And, like Buster, his problems behind the plate seem more “I haven’t been a catcher that long and am still figuring this shit out”. He’s less mobile than Buster, but he’s Flash Gordon compared to, say, Molina. Santana was 6 for 6 in stolen bases, btw, so the dude can move when he needs to.
Obviously he is behind Buster with regards to throwing out runners, but as someone who watched every single one of Santana’s homegames, I can tell you that a ton of that is the fact that the Columbus pitchers are absolutely dreadful at holding runners.

Irrelevant, but . . .
. . . “Flash” Gordon was a football player. The tingue-in-cheek remake movie of some years ago was quite a hoot.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Baseball Ref is telling me he has 526 minor league games, 315 at catcher, so no, nothing like Buster.

I was at the game tonight have watched no post-game…was Burrell pulled because of injury or for defensive replacement reasons?
(Sorry if this was already discussed.)
the moment it was 4-1 he was pulled for defensive reasons.

OT: Actually a serious question, i’m pretty sure people here have moved out of their houses before, i literally got back today, and we sold our house, mind you i’ve lived here my whole life, i’m 22 now, but everything is gone since we already have it on the market and a sale is pending, i dont know how to feel right now since everything’s just so much different. :(

I think it’s normal to feel a little sad or numb when there’s a huge change in life. It’s tough to get used to new things right away and it takes time before everything reaches a new level of “normal.” That’s just IMHO.

In high school i was pretty damn shy, i wont lie, i had maybe 3 or 4 friends tops.

But just put a smile on and relax! Everyone’s tryin to do the same thing you are, make friends

I can remember the first time we moved, from the city to Burlingame; my mom said I had to get rid of stuff like baseball cards! yeah, sure, mom. Then, when I went to college, she sold our house—that was rough, and I never really had a home-home to go to again, just my mom’s house with a couch or whatever to sleep on. I was always envious of my college pals when we went to their house and they still had their old room at home with their stuff.

Yea, see that’s where i’m at right now, like my dad’s moving up to Chico, i really have no house to live in now, we’re just living in the house we’re selling right now. It feels really weird, and all this happened while i was away at school, so coming back now is different. But i guess you got through it, and you’re good now, i need to find my own place right after college to live, but luckily we had this house all paid off. It’s different though since EVERYTHING is gone now here
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Hey, younguns,
these things have always happened. I left my small central Cal town in 1969 to go to UC Irvine. After Spring break, when I went home as normal, my mother (single parent) sold the house and moved to an apartment in a nearby town.
She didn’t tell me about it. Kept the same phone number, but I didn’t even know until returning for summer.
Now I can understand. Getting the kids off to college is some kind of threshold for a mid-age parent. Time for something different, something that wouldn’t have been “part of the arc” with a kid in high school.
It might be best for you, too. The nest is gone. I run into students I had 5,6,7 years ago as seniors and they’ve never left home. It’s too warm and comfortable. They have jobs . . . that’s where I see them as waiters or clerks . . . but they haven’t flown.
Mom always welcomed me to stay for a while at her new apartment.

Proud father of Alex and Fred Lewis.

Great point!
That’s something that i totally agree with right now, like i’m accepting the fact now and will very soon that i’m ok with all of this. So i’ll need to find an apartment sometime soon, anywhere where my job puts me. And to be honest, i absolutely like the fact my Dad is kinda making me more mature, i’m getting more and more used to this. I’m only going to be here until the beginning August, then back to school.
But i do know that i’ll be trying to get a job anywhere that’ll give me a job or internship for Geography. Thus, i’ll be buying an apartment somewhere here in the bay area

Yeah it was really weird-I mean that car was done
I think the radiator was messed up and I’m 99% sure the car didn’t have airbags-I sat in the passenger seat when I was hella young. But watching the guy drive it to the back and I sorta felt bad.

From SFgate and the Giants beat section
If the rehab plan means no surgery and coming back, ENOUGH:
Briefly: Shortstop Edgar Renteria (right hamstring) ran the bases during batting practice and might be activated as soon as Tuesday, forgoing a rehab assignment. … Mark DeRosa (left wrist neuritis) had a doctor’s visit Friday, and the team is expected to announce a rehab plan in the coming days. … Infielder Ryan Rohlinger (left hamstring) took his first swings since being injured May 31.

If the dude needs surgery get him the damn surgery already. Crap they should have done this eons ago. I don’t know the recovery period for this but have now with the chance of being able to come back in September. That ship probably sailed at the end of April though. Incompetent twits.

DeRosa is just afraid of the Giants’ medical staff and an operation.
