Post-game thread: Cain implodes, Giants drop series to the Astros

This is how it's going to be. The Giants score just enough to win. Everything's alright. The Giants score just enough to lose. The sky is falling. The Giants score just enough to win. Everything's alright. The Giants score just enough to lose. The sky is falling. The Giants score just enough to win. Everything's alright. The Giants score just enough to lose. The sky is falling. The...
Wait, Cain gave up six earned against one of the worst offenses of our generation? He deserved to lose?
Well, I don't have a canned response for that.
It was notable, though, that Wandy Rodriguez threw to a rookie catcher today. Rodriguez, came into the game with an ERA of 2.13, and he left with an ERA of 5.64. I didn't "research" that claim, but you know it has to be true. Jason Castro called for screen passes and knuckleballs, which totally befuddled the veteran Rodriguez. The Giants stole 15 bases today, and they would have stolen more if it weren't for the eight passed balls.
I mean, I didn't really watch the game, so I'm just guessing at how Castro did. Man, I'm glad that wasn't us. It seemed awful.

But . . .
. . . their park probably has a lot to do with that. The first professional advice of consequence I gave anyone was the Giants, whom I tried desperately to get to sign John Tudor, on the ground that his ERA with the Red Sox was seriously warped compared to his record in other parks (this was more than a quarter-century ago, when “park factor” wasn’t even a recognized term). Of course, they didn’t, and the rest is history.

Whoah, John Tudor. Mr. ERA.

Even from first base, Buster Posey’s hapless amateurishness through Matt Cain off his game. It took every bit of Bengie’s veteran guile to get him through the first three innings with only seven runs allowed.

My problem with Rowand is that when he gets on a hot streak, he pulls everything down the left field line. He’s not a gap-to-gap guy. He just sucks and gets into a groove that works every so often.
That's not true
He hit an opposite field home run against the mets.
He’s right handed so he pulls balls, sure. But he’s not an extreme pull hitter by any means.

It could just be my perception, but I’m pretty sure his opposite field hits are rare compared to his pulled hits.

If a great pitcher like Cain struggled so much against a poor offense, it must mean the guy behind the plate can’t handle the pitching staff or call a good game. That’s the only reasonable conclusion one can draw in a situation like this.
Nope.
When a pitcher does well it’s because the catcher called a good game. When a pitcher does poorly, it’s because the pitcher didn’t execute. And if a rookie is behind the dish, then it’s his mother’s fault for birthing him.

Unless you’ve played the game, you can’t understand how to play the game. And if you’ve played the game, then you can’t understand the pro game until you’ve played the pro game. And if you’ve played the pro game, then you can’t understand a manager’s position until you’re in that manager’s position.
And if you make it to the manager’s position, you don’t know what it was like to be around when people played “real baseball.” Not like what the game’s been turned into today with these damn numbers all over the place.

Yes
How often has it been – because it seems at least as often as the GIDP (4x by the time I had to stop listening) – does the opposing team (pitcher!) hit a dinger or a clutch base hit on an 0-2 count? How does that not get laid at the porcine feet of B-$? Or, do I not understand the game? And, that is not even counting the times his lazy ass doesn’t block the slider in the dirt. And, it doesn’t even begin to talk about his crap at-bats or his base-bumbling.

This shit is a fucking joke
Even after matt cain had nothing, bork continued to stick with him because “his pitch count is fine mmm”. Once matt cain’s funeral was over, bengie molina remained in the game, why?
Why was bengie molina left in the game? What does he offer to this team that whiteside and posey don’t? Does our manager actually think he’s a great player and a good hitter and needed for the giants to achieve a come back win?
I have no idea why bengie was still in that game, let alone starting HIS FOURTH DAY GAME AFTER A NIGHT GAME IN A ROW!
I am sick of this bullshit, the media drones around here need to start calling for bengies head and insulting bochys managing and favoring bengie and keeping him in no matter how retarded the situation is.
Fuck brian sabean, fuck bruce bochy, fuck whiny ass douche bag bengie molina, and FUCK THIS PATHETIC EXCUSE MAKING OWNERS GROUP.
Also,
To bad we don’t have a top prospect we could have put behind the plat eto get some good reps in the squat, otherwise we could have replaced bengie in a game thats out of hand. Good thing that’s not the case though, I’d hate to have to take bengie out of the line up for two bench players that are astoundly better than him.

"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."
Yeah, no question.
His experience helped him stay calm, and this led to him leading the team from a blowout to a close game. A couple of breaks either way and the Giants coulda had this one. Couldn’t say that with a rookie back there.
Of course
god knows that rookie wouldn’t be able to catch any of that major league pitching, nor would he be able to throw runners out or even attempt to block a ball.
"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."
A team gets all its confidence, energy and talent from the catcher.
If the players don’t have faith in him, they don’t have faith in themselves or each other. If the catcher doesn’t have faith in his own abilities, then the players won’t have faith in him. If the manager doesn’t have faith in the catcher, then the catcher knows that he doesn’t have any ability.
Was that a pssage from bochys new book?

That’s Bengie’s personal record for “wild pitches”, set over a 136 game season in 2008.
Right now, with 55 games somewhere under his belt, he stands at 27.

I’m not sure what the goal is anymore, but I think he’s gonna break his own record.

We were never ‘in that thing’. There is no way last year’s team was capable of winning the world series and the insistence on pretending it was did nothing to help develop a team that actually will be. At some point you have to drop the insistence on overpaying for 30-something mediocrity and start rebuilding from within.

Hindsight is 20-20. Obviously, every team that doesn’t make the playoffs probably would have been better off playing young guys to see what they can do; but you can’t know that until after.
Bochy’s made so many bad decisions that focusing on the Winn thing is idiotic, especially since it was probably the right move.

I doubt you'll find a bigger Randy Winn fan than me
but his at bats during the last few months should have gone to someone else. He could still field, but honestly, you could put any minor league all field, no hit center fielder in a big league corner and they’d give you a win’s worth of pure defense.
Just get the damn surgery, Mark DeRosa.

The tigers have hit a couple of home runs and everytime they’ve done it he’s like “they got really lucky and hit it to the place where it carries better than any park in baseball”.

well
the stadium issue is the only major issue facing the team. It’s a big one, but they have the mayor behind them 100% trying to resolve it. The Maloof-Petrie interference thing hasn’t been true for at least 2 years now. It’s not even comparable to the Warriors ownership-gm-coach quagmire.

Gosh I just came on to comment on that segment
I’ve been listening to KNBR the last few days in the car and oh god it’s so terrible when they talk baseball
That quote was part of an extended segment about WHAT’S WRONG WITH TIM LINCECUM WHY DOES HE SUCK NOW
They were so fucking stupid about everything. OMG HE USED TO THROW ALL FASTBALLS LAST YEAR AND NOW HE THROWS THE CHANGEUP! HE THREW 98 MPH LAST YEAR!!! Have they ever actually watched a Lincecum start before?
And they kept pointing out that all of his numbers are really damn good, but then they kept coming back to, “So should we just get used to this less-good Lincecum? is this just something that happens? Should we be worried?” And it was so aggravating, because they would acknowledge that he’s actally still really awesome and then go on and on about how he’s struggling or something good lord I could not stand it.
How do people who listen to this crap regularly do it??

Wow... first game of the year that I miss
Looks like I didn’t miss much…
Since I (conveniently) missed the big scoring innings by the other teams in the last two disasters of a baseball contest, can anyone speak as to whether our water buffalo outfield defense contributed to the rallies? For instance, I saw one double in today’s game that I suspected would have died in the webbing of a Torres-Rowand-Schierholtz outfield. Was that the case for any others, or was it just hard hit balls and bad luck?
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?

Just going to say, OT: Warriors really fucked up the draft, but they had nowhere else to go, i guess they tried trading the pick and couldn’t, so they chose the best player available… Udoh=ready to play, mature, and defensive. However, here’s the thing, i definitely see the warriors making a trade this summer involving Biedrins and or monta
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Pretty much, sucks big time, i don't get it

Why the fuck did they got udoh? I guess nellie saw him play in that one tournament game and grab some fat boards and blocks and instantly decided he was the one.
"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."

"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."
They’re keeping Udoh, they are going to trade Biedrins, AND/OR possibly Monta
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Trade both
Useless massive contracts that do nothing to help curry. Monta is a 6’3 stephen jackson who’s a bad defender and is surgically repaired to the max at age 25 so yeah.. I’ll pass on keeping him around.

"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."
Guess who you can blame those contracts on? MULLIN. Ellis is a poor defender yes, can score anywhere, shoot first guard. However all he really does is think about himself. He does NOT have the attitude Stephen has, and don’t just TRADE HIM, get someone back of VALUE, that’s what the warriors should be doing

And an interview with “Rocky” Rockwell, first Cal student to wear the bear outfit in 1941:
“Rockwell consulted then-Daily Cal art editor Warrington Colescott. Together, they designed Oski’s mask, and it was Colescott who dissuaded Rockwell from naming his character “Algy.” He suggested “Oski” because “Oski Wow Wow” was part of a school yell, and “Oski” was in a song, too.
“So, Oski it was.”
Could have been worse. Could have been “Warrington.”

“Kim Kardashian has no real claim to fame. You’ve probably heard of her, but probably don’t know why you’ve heard of her. She has a reality show, but again, you probably don’t know why. She was paid $75,000 to show up at a New Year’s party in Miami last year – and again, you probably don’t know why. You know what? We don’t either. She has a very impressive derriere, and we think it may have something to do with that, but really it’s anyone’s guess.”

It should be.
With his current 6% walks rate, he is a barely passable batter for an outfielder. His maximum upside was never beyond “decent but unexceptional”, and right now he isn’t even quite that. But apparently the jays do not value plate patience.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
That's why we don't cherry pick
His park-adjusted wOBA is still slightly above-average. That’s fine for the Blue Jays right now (unless they’re going to make a push for the playoffs).
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
I’m gonna make a guess here and say that there is probably a relatively small number of players that fit in a desirable category above what Lewis produces, it’s just the nature of the game—hitting is difficult. The biggest issue with Lewis for the Giants is his fielding deficiency.
