Post-Game Recap: LOL FRED
by jponry on Jun 18, 2010 6:36 PM PDT

PrintIt's always fun to watch a position player work a 3-0 count and then swing at 3 straight pitches, only one of which was probably a strike (and a borderline one at that).
It's always fun to watch as the pitcher continues to throw something like ten straight pitches out of the zone after that.
It's always fun to have a runner thrown out at home by ten feet with no one out in the inning.
It's always fun to watch a pitcher throw 8 superb innings, only to lose because of shoddy defense (but no errors!), a broken bat single and a home run.
It's always fun to watch Bengie Molina and Aaron Rowand go for a combined 0-6.
Not a great start to the road trip.
But, hey, at least Fred Lewis went 0-4!

They called it a fielder's choice somehow
If it’s a fielder’s choice and everyone is safe, it has to be an error, right?

no; judgement errors are never scored as errors
which is fucked, but that is baseball.
IMO he should have been given an error for juggling the ball.

Definitely
A bobble which leads to a late throw should always be an error.
The error in judgment complicates things a little bit, but it really shouldn’t matter.
by RoyaleWithCheese on Jun 18, 2010 10:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Seriously what the fuck
That is called an error, therefore both the runs scored that inning should be un-earned. It seems the score keepers go out of their way to not hurt the feelings of this teams sickeningly overweight players and just blame it on the pitcher.

From the official scorer’s perspective, there would still have been at least one runner on when Encarnacion hit his broken-bat single.

that didn’t stop Uribe from swinging. I blame Bochy for that. You only give 3-0 green lights to disciplined hitters. On the Giants, that would be Huff, Posey and Burrell. The Giants turned two potentially big innings into one run innings with pure stupidity. Think that made a difference in a 3-2 game?

Not so.
San Diego fired him, while Bork was still there. He has been berry, berry bad for a long time.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Flannery said it was Bochy himself who fired him. I guess Bochy just wanted to bring one of his friends along with him to SF, so he wouldn’t be lonely. The fact that he was a bad coach was irrelevant.
Buster Posey: "I'm a catcher." Brian Sabean: "I'm an idiot."
It was . . .
. . . Bochy who delivered the message. The decision was apparently made jointly by the front office and Bochy.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
I remember an interview from him while he was still in SD. He said something along the lines of it’s not my fault they get thrown out, I let them go for it because they make the big bucks.
We should, though, keep in mind . . .
. . . that none of this has anything to do with Flannery as a person. He is said to be a really, really nice guy. It’s just that niceness doesn’t have much connection to ball/fielder/runner judgement coordination.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
This one not Flannery's fault
Its all on Huff. Brain fart. Generally you score from second on a double. Huff for some strange reason went back to tag up and from that point forward it was over.
Cost two runs. At least.
“Huff for some strange reason went back to tag up”
Strange reason = no outs
You always tag up with no outs unless the ball is obviously dropping. Bautista got relatively close to catching that ball, so Huff had to tag. If you want to criticize Huff’s baserunning, I’d mention the fact that he went into a HR trot on a ball that might’ve been a triple had he hustled. If he’s at 3B, he tags up and then jogs home on Burrell’s hit.

"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."
even if you concede it’s bad base running by Huff, (because it was pretty obvious that ball was uncatchable) it’s the job of the coach to be watching Huff and see that he went back to the bag. It’s well known that Bautista has a good arm, which compounds the mistake. Flannery simply didn’t do his job there.
Buster Posey: "I'm a catcher." Brian Sabean: "I'm an idiot."
triple?
huff would have been by 5-10 feet even if he had legged it at full speed
returning to tag instead of going half the way to 3B was the miscue
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
One thing we now know for sure:
BigHead absolutely, positively does not have a take sign. Uribe is Uribe, but a child would know to give the take sign in that situation, were there in fact such a sign known to the team, which, obviously, there is not.
Also, once again the semi-forgotten other fail-monster, Tim Flannery, makes its presence known.
Does William Neukom know anything—anything whatsoever, however basic—about this here game?
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
The last out WAS Posey’s fault. He ripped a shot down the line that should have been a double and was robbed. The reason it was his fault was that with Bengie Molina and Aaron Rowand to follow he HAS to hit a homerun there. A double is not good enough.

hey, c'mon
The man you see in the left of the photo is Slovenia central defender Marko Suler. The man you can clearly see grabbing him around the waist is his U.S. counterpart Carlos Bocanegra. That man on the right, No. 19, running into the open space Suler can’t get to because Bocanegra has him in a bearhug? That’s Maurice Edu.
(As Mr. Coulibaly’s lawyer, I will ask that you please ignore the citizen’s arrest in the foreground. That is an unrelated case.)
To be fair, it almost looks like Bocanegra is just falling, whereas it is really hard to imagine what kind of “contact” is going in the foreground.
My two-and-a-half-year-old falls a lot, but he manages not to take me down with him.
In seriousness, I think the guy’s conclusion is pretty reasonable: there was a lot of bad contact all over, and he made a call. Me, I think he probably chose to call against the US as a makeup for the free kick, itself the result of another bad call.
Plus, I get to root for Slovenia. Go, Slovenia!
Yeah, there was clearly a US foul on the play. There were also many Slovenian fouls, but I’m not sure what the ref should have done – if the first foul he saw was the US one, he was right to call the foul. He can’t see a foul, then look around to make sure there aren’t any other fouls being committed, and only then call it.
The only real mistake was letting the US kick the free kick when people were clearly grabbing each other in the box. But once he did, he screwed himself, and had to call the first foul he sees. It happened to be a US foul. It’s bad luck, but really not a terrible call.

And bork see's that and instantly thinks "Mmm he's got that good swing going"
And then bengie catches every game except sanchez starts and posey rots at first while teams run wild and “wild pitches” go flying routinely.

Brian Wilson was crushing a Drumstick ice cream cone after the game. He said he was already burning it off with his mental energy because he is a "superior being."
A few minutes later, he walked out of the food room with another ice cream.
"Already burned off the first one," he said.

LOL i absolutely love Brian Wilson
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
this
i dunno people have so much hate for him, not everyone gets a mariano rivera
Well
last year people had beef with him for his BWEEZY show, and were all “OH HE ACTS SO COCKY, what a douche” there were a few that just didn’t like him much at all because of it, i loved the way he acted, in his douche type way, it’s all an act, he’s EXTREMELY sarcastic
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
But the thing is, if he were on another team, like the Dodgers, it would probably be “SUCK IT BRIAN WILSON”.

so the giants front page does a piece on the molina bros
yet the only quotes they get on bengie are of him bitching about richardi and then whining that this is the first year he hasnt hit well
dump his fat, bitchin ass….
and what is up with playing rowand and not nate?
as for huff….dude…unless its going out…dont admire it…run you slow, stupid fuck
I'm trying to remember what molina offers that whitside and posey don't
Am I missing something?
"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."
veteran gamerness
plus, he forms the basis of a metric (‘the Molina’) which like the speed of light forms a basic universal constant (‘the longest possible time from home to first’)
Oh I forgot
He’s a “clutch” hitter, calls the best game in the league, completely shuts down the running game, he also throws to first on the regular and picks guys off which buster clearly can’t do.

I'm worried about his health
I remember he jammed his shoulder or something and the giants said it was “nothing serious” and he came out and played the next two days. The moment that happend he’s been a lot more timid and the plate and has turned into a slap hitter with mediocre plate discipline. His defense is incredible, as is his arm and speed but I hope this doesn’t turn out to be a season of nagging injuries and douche bag bork raping his development.
"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."
I’ve been saying this for awhile about Nate. He seemed to hit the ball harder in his last start although he didn’t have much luck. Maybe he’s finally healthy.

As I was driving listening to that I was getting pissed the fuck off. The first fastball he swung at was above his shoulders, the second one was well above the letters, and that curve yeah… The face palming began extremely early for me.

What's really lame about that win by the padres is
They gto their only run after eckstein hit a infield single that was bobbled and called a “hit” and then adrian gonzalez hit a high pop up to adam jones and he dropped it That was their first run, they then proceeded to get a easy walk on 4 pitches, a infield single, a bloop single, another bloop single, and then agon completed the trifecta by blooping a pitch that would have hit him off his fists for the win.

From Schulman:
More DeRosa: Head trainer Dave Groeschner said it is “conceivable” DeRosa could have two surgeries, one to repair his wrist tendon and the other to reposition his ulnar nerve. On Wednesday, DeRosa had a relatively new type of MRI, called a neurogram, to pinpoint the precise choke point on the nerve.
Asked if DeRosa is done trying to play through these injuries, Groeschner said, “It’s not 100 percent, but pretty close.”

Sabean insults him when the Sanchez for Encarnacion rumors start, and after that the guy falls off the face of the earth and becomes a horrible player. Of course the Giants’ roll into town and he beats them with a HR and plays Gold Glove third base.
