Post-game thread: Zito conquers his green and gold demons

Imagine having a significant other for six years and splitting up. It wasn’t messy, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to impress your ex every time you run into her. Yet every time you see her, you just happen to be drunk in a Home Depot, throwing up in a showroom toilet. Just one of life’s little coincidences.
So congratulations, Barry Zito. You ran into your ex, and you were wearing an Armani suit and smelling of fresh summer meadows. Damn, that has to feel good.
Also of note: I’m still screaming "Throw strikes!" at my TV. My TV is unsure how to respond. That was almost a prodigious bullpen meltdown. With a three-run lead, a team can’t walk four hitters in an inning. The Giants probably should have lost just out of principle.
Also also of note: Remember this game the next time Brian Wilson gives up a bloop and a blast to blow a save. He’s not vintage Mariano Rivera, but he shouldn’t have to be. He’s just a guy with a 98-MPH fastball, a wicked slider, and steadily improving control. With the amateur draft still fresh in our memories, it’s worth remembering that Wilson was one of the best low-risk/high-reward gambles the Giants have ever taken in the draft.

There is no reason in the world why he shouldn’t be catching on Sunday. It’s a day game after a night game and it’s not a Whiteside start because Sanchez goes Monday. Fatso went hitless after the rare good game, so do not trot his lazy ass out there again.

can't spend that money every day
Mota is 36. The more fatigued he is, the less fine his control is going to be, and I think being a set-up guy is too much work for him. Bork is going to have to scale Mota back to 2x per week or 1x per series.
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Mota is what he is. What he isn’t is an eighth inning setup man. Since he stopped the steroids he’s been an ordinary reliever. The Giants may need an eighth inning guy more than they need another bat.

Romo’s been terrible. There wouldn’t have been walks, just a couple of blasts. He’s not the answer either. It’s gotta be Affeldt, and if he’s not up to it, they’re going to have to make a deal. You simply can’t bring Affeldt in with the bases loaded though. Even last year when he was great he showed a penchant to walk the first hitter. He has to start the inning.

Yes. It was a good game, and he certainly seemed back in his groove. Not stellar, but closer to his old self than we’ve seen in awhile.

I agree.
I have a weird internal shame, because I loved everything I saw about Cain when I first saw him, and kinda rode the Timmy bandwagon more recently. Never shoulda left my boy.
I love both pitchers, and am VERY grateful for the job they’ve done in helping to carry this team, but I suspect that we will enjoy watching quality Cain starts for far longer than Lincecum, regardless of whether either of them are still playing in SF.

If you watch Flesh and Stone right after the doctor leaves amy in the forest, he comes back, but hes wearing the jacket from vampires of venice even though he just lost his jacket to the angels and his demeanor is much different. Im convinced there is gonna be a second doctor in the finale

I have!
I’m really looking forward to next week. I really like how they introduce hints about the finale earlier in the season rather than having everything come together during RTD’s run. I read this one theory where the season actually takes place in Amy’s head via the Dreamlord, which would explain why she’s the most important person in the universe and why people don’t remember major events. I don’t know if I’m down with the theory, but it makes sense.
I don’t know what any of this means but it makes me want to watch it.

I kind of like it. There was a lot of foreshadowing in the dream episode. Especially with rory. They mention fairytale alot so that could tie in with being a dream of amy’s. And at the end of Eleventh Hour 7 year amy hears the tardis. I still think there is gonna be a second doctor. And the way they described whats in the pandorica really reminds me of the the way the doctor is described. Oncoming storm and all that. My personal theory is that the doctor is in the pandorica and thats the “Best man” that riversong killed.

It's amazing how fans of both teams think alike
From AN :
1) Why is Fox still on roster
2) why is EPat still on roster
3) Why is Ross not in AAA
4) Why is Pennington allowed on the field
5) See #4 why is Rosales not playing everyday in his place.
6) Why is Sheets not yet on DL
7) Why do players keep playing with injuries and wait until it hurts too much or the play on the field suffers. See Dallas Braden
8) and finally, after reviewing 1 thru 7, do you honestly expect the A’s to remain close by putting sub-standard players on the field?
Translated to Giants
1) Why is Molina still on roster
2) why is Ishikawa still on roster
3) Why is Bowker in AAA
4) Why is Rowand allowed on the field
5) See #4 why is Nate not playing everyday in his place.
6) Why is Affeldt not yet on DL
7) Why do players keep playing with injuries and wait until it hurts too much or the play on the field suffers. See Mark Derosa, Edgar Renteria,

Back from the game!
It was my first game this year, and the first win I’ve seen live (last year I went to a horrible Sadowski start where the lone highlight was a 12-pitch Garko walk). Yay Zito! Thank goodness the bullpen Brian Wilson was able to pull out the save. That eighth inning was the definition of torture.
Also, could Molina be any slower? For every single ground ball he hit, the fielder probably could have run the ball over to first and still got Bengie out. Okay, that’s hyperbole. But what isn’t is that every single time he hit a grounder, a fielder bobbled the ball so much so that a guy like Torres or Schierholtz would make it to first.

I was listening to his weekly show with Tom
and i absolutely loved the fact that he just basically said that if he’s hurt there’s no sense in playing at all, because how will he benefit the team if he’s hurt, they got Torres and others producing, and if he plays he might as well hurt the team less likely help it.

I am . . .
. . . seriously worried about Affeldt, and it is not a classic McCoven “God he was off tonight”. His history is not suggestive of a really good pitcher, and his 2009 looks like like a freak-show year.
Chilling thoughts. We have been worrying about the offense and more or less taking the pitching for granted, with perhaps an exception or two. I think it may be more than one or two (three for sure: Wellemeyer, Bautista, and Casilla.)
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Affeldt was pretty decent in 2008, but yeah, he’s been absolutely terrible this year. WHIP is approaching 2 quickly…
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I’m not sure what the deal is with him this season. It looks like he’s completely lost his confidence and is really unsure of his breaking ball and sinker. He needs to hang out with timmy and zito and relax and do what he’s best at and thats getting ground balls.

He just has no control of any of his pitches. I’m not sure if it’s a mechanical thing or a mental thing, but it’s getting troublesome.

His walks were pretty bad for a reliever last year, but he made up for it with luck and ridiculous ground ball tendencies.
It obviously hasn’t held up (and the walks are even worse this year.)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
His control has been disgusting this year, and he also has 0 confidence in his curveball. He was good with first pitch strikes last year and kept the ball down and getting ridiculous amounts of ground balls. He was great with his curveball and using it to get strikes as well as a put away pitch. I just think he’s lacking a lot of confidence and might be tweaking his mechanics.

TBH I always thought our 2010 middle relief was a little shaky
It really seems like Sabean neglected that area this offseason. Like he figured Brandon Medders would be the 09 Medders, and if the ’pen needed help some prospect would make a Runzler-esque ascent to the majors. Or maybe Jairo Garcia and Denny Bautista would suddenly harness good command of their pitches.
Now the Affeldt extension was really stupid for a multitude…(okay, 3) of reasons. 1-because relievers are generally serviceable and replaceable and 2-After the year he had last year Affeldt probably would’ve been a Type A FA, which could’ve either netted us a 1st round draft pick, or he would’ve accepted arbitration and we would’ve lost maybe 500K at the most.
3-We have a guy who appears to have the stuff to be a Lefty set up man (Runzler).
So I really don’t understand the extension-it really looks like Sabean is afraid of the arbitration process.

Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?

The Rule states:
10.15
(a) A wild pitch shall be charged when a legally delivered ball is so high, or so wide, or so low that the catcher does not stop and control the ball by ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance.
(b) A wild pitch shall be charged when a legally delivered ball touches the ground before reaching home plate and is not handled by the catcher, permitting a runner or runners to advance.
My copy of the Rulebook is somewhat old (1996), but I doubt that rule has changed.
