Post-game thread: Giants whomp on the Orioles
by Grant Brisbee on Jun 14, 2010 10:03 PM PDT
Email
PrintIt’s tough to distribute the plaudits fairly for a game like tonight’s. On one hand:
- The Giants scored ten -- ten! -- runs, ah, ah, ah. Pat Burrell went deep. Everyone had a walk or two. Andres Torres continues to look like a legitimate All-Star, and clutch hits were the rule, not the exception. If the Giants could just put a couple of those hits in some dry ice, and mail them back to Jonathan Sanchez’s starts against the Padres earlier this year, everyone would win. Well, except for the Padres, but that’s the point.
On the other hand:
- Jonathan Sanchez was efficient as all heck, throwing three pitches for strikes the whole night. Sanchez has been fantastic this year, and he’s a lot of things, but efficient as all heck isn’t one of them. Sure, it was the Orioles, you might say, but any major league team can stand around while the starting pitcher throws four straight fastballs out of the zone if you give them a chance to do so.
So who deserves the credit? The offense, or Jonathan Sanchez?
Yes.
Enjoy it. Wins that don’t prematurely age you don’t come around very often. Giants baseball: torture pleasant. Quite.

Nevermind, just once actually. I’d still fine affeldt, just for walking in that run the other night on 4 pitches.

I agree
I think affeldt looked great, he had the snap dragon on display and his fastball was sharp. I was just being harsh, still annoyed with how he’s been lack luster this year.

They get McCutchen for another 4 odd years, so that's cool
Fangraphs did a decent write up and someone mentioned their line-up in 2013. Doesn’t look too bad.

Jesus, it must have been great to be an O's fan then.
In ’68 they won 91 games with a team ERA of 2.66, yet still finished 12 games back of eventual WS champ Detroit who was otherworldly behind McClain and Lolich.
In ‘69 they won 109 games – with a team ERA of 2.83, finishing 15 ahead of Detroit (Hey, Denny, wanna bet on your chances to repeat?) yet came up against this year’s Cinderella model driven by Tom Terrific.
Not losing their momentum in ’70 they won 108 (Team ERA of 3.15 but offset by a killer offense, with three starters with an OPS over .9) and finally took the Series over Cincinnati – which must have been epic considering the Reds roster that year.

So Chris Tillman was a top 30 prospect at one point?
seems a little strange considering his velocity was only about 88-90 and his fastball was about as straight as you can throw it.

Truly the mark of a decent FA is whether he can ride the bench comfortably.
If, as is the case here, there are excellent replacement players then a player with his wits about him and his ego in his back pocket (next to his check stub) should be able to be supportive and understanding.

especially since theres no super prospect in next years draft
according to the early reports
uh yes there is
Rendon is probably as good a prospect as Harper, and Garrit Cole looks very good.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

TEMPORARY SIG AWAITING FINAL SABEAN APOCALYPSE

PARPG- Indy post-apocalyptic roleplaying game in development
Reason to be sorta optimistic about Pat Burrell:
He’s currently at his highest OPS total since 2008 (.768 w/ a batting line of .252/.336/.432 & 4 HR after 111 AB’s)… His highest total in 2009 was .761 on April 13 after only 25 AB’s into the season… It didn’t really come close to .768 for most of the 2009 season. His SLG% in particular was well below .432 most of the season.
None of this is to say “PAT IS BACK OMG!”… Just that I’m optimistic that he’ll atleast be better than he was last season.

Because . . .
. . . neither Juan Uribe nor Pandoval nor FSanchez should be asked or expected to play in the next 99 games in a row. And because no man (or virtually no man, always best to qualify) can perform up to his abilities if he isn’t getting well over 50% play time. It ain’t rocket science, as I have said over several threads in recent times: Pandoval 3B 5 days of 6, 1 off; Renteria, SS 4 days of 6, 2 off; FSanchez 2B, 4 days of 6, 2 off; Uribe 5 days of 6—1 at 3B, 2 at SS, 2 at 2B, 1 off. Easy peasey. (No two off days in a row for any one man, though.)

Given Bochy’s penchant for lineup whirlwinds, I think this has a legit chance of happening (and I hope it does). I have a suspicion that his wheeling and dealing will affect Posey negatively, but am hoping otherwise.

it’s obvious to most of us, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s clear to BorkSabes: Keep guys fresh, but give everyone a legit shot to contribute. There are enough PAs to go around. If you don’t play guys at all or inconsistently, how can you expect your evaluation of them to be valid (see: Bowker, John; Schierholtz, Nate)?

DeRosa update: Mark DeRosa had a bone scan Monday and will undergo another MRI exam Wednesday. He wants a decision on surgery made before the team leaves for Toronto after Wednesday’s game.

I don’t think “No” is a strong enough word.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Yeah, w/o mention HBO/Showtime series like Weeds, Dexter, True Blood, Eastbound etc., they have some heavy competition. Is it better than:
- South Park (I often think that Family Guy is a major network attempt at ripping off South Park)
- Glee (not a fan)
-Doctor Who
-Breaking Bad
- Modern Family
- Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Is it? No, its not. Family Guy is an old, worn out show that uses old worn out shticks in a uncomfortable way to attempt to be funny, it really sucks. I hate to say that b/c the first season or two where really funny, its just gets too hard to laugh at the same jokes over and over and over again.

Also, just yesterday I was talking to my dad who lives in Baltimore about how it’s sometimes frustrating to be a Giants fan, and I feel like a bit of an asshole now. Not that I was unaware of how Baltimore was playing, but tonight really drove it home.

Anytime the giants are playing well larry baer always comes onto garys show and acts like his team just won a WS. He proceeds to come on and say "Our turn around is all because of brian and bruce, they are two of the best in the game at “making adjustments”. The giants are playing great, but it has very little to do with bork and smug master sabean.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
