Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Post-game thread: I'll just put this up now because I have work to do

I don’t want the Giants to lose. I want them to squeak into the playoffs. I want red-white-and-blue bunting around the perimeter of field. Maybe Huey Lewis can throw out a first pitch or sing the anthem, or something. I want the Giants to win.

But...

If they have to lose -- and it certainly looks like the laws of physics are conspiring against the team -- maybe there will be some change. Maybe the investors will want a manager who doesn’t have "Yakity Sax" playing over the silent movie of his career. Maybe the investors will figure out that the offense has been bad for six straight years. and that the person responsible for building a good offense doesn’t really know how.

Maybe. I’d rather the team not lose. But if they have to lose, at least I can hope for a reason to hope. So this is a win/win situation. Except for all the losing. Other than that, there will be a positive outcome at the end of the season.

Unless, what , the Giants just keep thinking that Sabean and Bochy are the right people for the job, regardless of on-field performance? Yeah, I’d like to see that happen. No way. Either the Giants win, or they get new management to put the team in a position to win. THERE IS NO OTHER, SCARIER ALTERNATIVE. It’s a binary set. This can’t just continue on indefinitely.

Right?

Torture

Overachieving last year did us absolutely no good. In fact, I think it hindered whatever progress we might have otherwise made. As long as we’re not “in this thing,” we have an opportunity to (1) really and truly evaluate some of our younger players, and (2) improve our position in next year’s better-stocked draft. These are both outcomes to be desired, although neither will be leveraged to their fullest extent as long as Mr. Sabean and Mr. Bochy are still employed in San Francisco. So, we’re stuck with hoping that this year is SO terrible that even William Neukom can decipher the tea leaves and, in the immortal words of Michael Jackson: make that change.

Doing OK till . . .

. . . that last sentence (though I suppose the “hoping” redeems it). I simply do not understand why people who appear to have little if any knowledge above the fanboy level spend the mega-millions needed to buy a ball club. In some cases, it’s an ego trip, the owner makes himself or herself a public figure (Marge, baby!), but how many people outside the Bay Area—or even in it—know who Bill Neukom is? I do not understand it.

My reply was weak.

I admit it. I first read the last sentence as meaning that surely Neukom will notice, and reckoned that if he hadn’t already noticed enough to fire Bochean right now—or never have renewed it/them—he wasn’t likely to ever. Of course, what you actually said was different: “we’re stuck with hoping that this year is SO terrible that even William Neukom can &c &c”. But I wanted to say something about my immense disappointment with this ownership group, so I leaned on a weak straw to get it in even after I had re-read the sentence. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I agree with this

Of course I’d rather they win… but if the Giants are going to lose, I’d prefer they do it in spectacular fashion, for the following potential benefits:

1) Real change at manager… maybe from an oldschool, station to station, veteran savvy emphasizing guy to somebody who lets the kids play and doesn’t get freaked out by a more exciting brand of basketball

2) A better GM… honestly I just want somebody who won’t overpay for mediocre aging veterans and trusts his scouting staff/stat guys.

3) A better draft pick

4) Maybe it shakes up some of the guys on this team who really need a bit of a wakeup call (Pablo, I love your style of play and I’m in your corner, but dude, you’re a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. You’re getting paid money to be in good shape… so you know, why don’t you try getting in shape? And not hacking at pitches at eye-level and higher, that would be nice too).

5) Maybe new management realizes that, while young pitchers aren’t made of porcelain, they are made of flesh and bones and tendons and ligaments, and that those things can be fairly fragile too.

Well, the secondary was actually pretty weak last year and Sydquan is gone now, so the defense might still be a bit of an issue. But really, the missing piece ever since Rodgers has been the quarterback every single year. That has been the one consistently glaring hole for Cal for years now.

That’s been the roadblock to a bowl game, and I won’t blame any other unit on the team until it gets fixed.

Fuck him. And also, if the offense could maybe stretch their half of the innings a bit, the pitchers would have more time to recover. instead, it’s up and down, back to the mound.

Be fair:

I’m quite sure he feels what he says. He urgently wants the team to be good, and so seeks reasons when they fail, even if those reasons are not sound. (Sort of the opposite of what usually goes down hereabouts.) The man is not trying to cover for anyone.

I’m less emotional about baseball. More games, less of a chance of making the playoffs, and having a team that’s supposed to be rebuilding makes the losses less stressful and the wins more rewarding.

Still doesn’t make me okay with being swept by LA, though.

Rox matchups

Let’s make it 9 straight!

Bumgarner vs Cook
Lincecum vs Chacin
Zito vs Jimenez
Cain vs Hammel

They could be Giants...but not really.

It’s funny how I have more confidence in the Bumgarner game than any of the other 3 because Buster is catching.

It helps that Tulo is out. But lifetime, Cain has made 7 starts at Coors and has a 3-2 record with a 3.60 ERA. Most of the “ownage” has come at home.

I hope you told that girl she was full of shit….
I think he needs to learn how to throw four decent pitches so he can be a starting pitcher and get through the lineup a few times. If you are satisfied that he has done that at over the last couple of years, then yes, he might as well be in the majors (I’m not, but I don’t follow the minors as closely as some around here).
Basically, I think you want to put young players in a position where they are most likely to succeed and I don’t think that is in San Francisco right now.

This is not going to end anytime soon

There is a losing mentality around here. They’ll obviously deny it until the sun goes down but at the beginning of any given season the list of team goals does not include “World Series”. The San Francisco Giants are the baseball manifestation of Gary Radnich: forget winning, let’s just have a good time.

In some ways this is not the worst thing in the world. We have the best ballpark in the league, we have a two-time Cy Young award winner and we have (had?) the Kung Fu Panda. We have excellent weather, splash hits, build-a-bear workshops and cha cha bowls. But we don’t have a championship contender.

And that’s precisely how the team is presented to us by the front office. Commercials insult us by promoting the Giants-Dodgers rivalry as if we didn’t know that we are supposed to dislike them. We’re told that “We’re in this thing” as if we don’t know what our own win/loss record is. Larry Baer prattles on about stadium atmosphere and Hannah Montana bobblehead day, and apologizes tirelessly for the team’s War & Peace-sized list of blunders. That’s just the way it is.

We’re not the Pirates, but we’re certainly not the Yankees. We’re not even the damn Marlins.

I admit

I am secretly wondering if there is a hint of truth behind this.

It has been a while where we have seen a string of pitching this bad, that maybe the SP has just had it with pitching their hearts out.

But it is also obvious they are struggling to locate pitches. Cain in particular seems to be laboring more whenever he gets to 2 strikes.

how does a full roster of veterans all work n sync together as one, its either they all hit good together or they plainly suck together. How embarrassing and frustrating is to get swept at home against their rivals. There is clearly no passion or fight in them to put a couple of hits together to score a run, what a punch in the gut to every single SFGiants fan. Giants need to balance out the offense and pitching. Trade Cain, because everyone feels sorry for the guy who deserves to be a 10-3 pitcher by now maybe on another team with some offense.

My Plan for a Giants Revival

pick the 5-7 best players, then clean house including the front office. Cut the payroll by 50%, cut ticket prices, and when the team is on the precipice of being good, spring for that key free agent. Why is this so hard for the Giants to grasp?

/Facepalm
Only desperate Giants fans would think that Posey’s .136/.152/.136/.289 batting line in the past 3 weeks would help the Giants lineup. He has the worse batting line by far of any of the 10 hitters who have been regularly starting in the past three weeks. Molina has been scuffling too but even he has double the batting line that Posey has.

Posey has been exposed, he will have to adjust, but meanwhile, every game he’s in the lineup, he is hitting worse than what the pitchers are hitting, in a RBI spot no less (Pitchers this season are hitting .137/.155/.137/.292, just slightly better, but still, no regular starter should be hitting worse than the pitchers as a whole). No wonder the offense has been in a funk, they have basically had two pitchers in the lineup for 3 weeks now, almost.

They had to run because the were doing an anthony randolph interview, but razor actually told me to call back some time in the future, said they hope to both mock me as a geek and learn a couple of things from me at the same time.

The San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers are in serious talks about a trade that would send veteran catcher Bengie Molina to Texas, multiple sources told FOXSports.com.

San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean would not speak about any specific Molina trade scenarios during an interview on Wednesday, other than to acknowledge that he will consider trade offers for him.

The Giants are looking for left-handed hitting and are willing to move Molina as a way to get rookie Buster Posey in the lineup on a more regular basis.

O HAI

/Shift+Terrible Homestand

I had a good reason for missing the past few days on MCC. Mrs. Kitspool gave birth to a beautiful baby boy yesterday morning. Kitspool Jr. is a tall, promising prospect. We were in our hospital room last night resting, and we ended up watching bits and pieces of the game while drifting in and out of sleep. So Kitspool Jr. needed only 15 hours to experience his first bitter Giants loss. But we’re overjoyed he’s here. There’s definitely magic inside.

Meanwhile: the Dodgers are now 26-13 in San Francisco the last four years. That stat alone should cause Neukom to give Sabean and Bork their walking papers.

There need to be wholesale changes. This team has been alternately boring and maddening to watch. Trading Molina would be a good start. Our newborn screamed after the passed ball last night.

It’s close. Similar defensively since Posey plays a tougher position, but Andrus plays his really really well. Posey should be a better hitter, but Andrus is also an amazing baserunner, and should get more playing time, being a non-catcher. Posey is under control for an extra year, but Andrus is already “proven”, which is pretty important.

My conclusion: I don’t know. Probably Elvis.

Good points-especially about PT

And as a catcher there’s a chance that Buster could break down quicker. But I think I’d end up siding with Posey. It’s close though

This also reminds me of something

I remember reading some story of when Bochy was manager in San Diego and he kept playing some shitty veteran despite the GM telling him to play a younger guy.

Basically, Bochy drew a line in the sand and said that as long as this guy was on the team, he was playing him. It got so bad that the GM traded this guy.

Anyone else remember seeing this story somewhere? Seems eerily similar.

The Rangers are withholding from making a roster move tonight until right before game time and they may be doing so in anticipation of acquiring C Bengie Molina from the San Francisco Giants. According to FOXSports.com, the clubs are in serious talks about a deal.

Though it was expected the Rangers were going to send out LHP Matt Harrison to make room for tonight’s starter, RHP Omar Beltre, the club has held off on making any announcements for the time being. Beltre is still scheduled to start, but if the Rangers strike a deal for Molina, it could impact how they proceed with roster construction.

That should happen shortly after 8 p.m. CDT.

This move feel like

It’s the precursor to another trade.

If Sabean wants to get another hitter, he HAD to move Molina and get Buster behind the plate and free up the room.

Now he’s free to go pursue either a first baseman or an outfielder.

The fact that this is happening so early before the deadline leads me to believe that it’s just the first move towards an improved offense, and I like that.

Per Morosi
Sabean said Wednesday that the team would prefer to add left-handed hitters who are under control beyond the end of this season. First baseman Chris Davis and catcher/first baseman Jarrod Saltalamacchia are among the Rangers who match that description; both are currently in the minor leagues.

Saltalamacchia, a switch hitter, has had throwing woes as a catcher. Moving to first base full time – and changing teams – could alleviate that concern. But it’s not clear if the Rangers are ready to cut ties with the 25-year-old.

They could be Giants...but not really.

From Shea
Without Molina, the Giants would be more dedicated to Buster Posey behind the plate, but Eli Whiteside still would be in the mix. The Giants could either move Aubrey Huff back to first base or play more of Travis Ishikawa — given his hot bat off the bench and the fact the team is in need of another left-handed bat.

Or they could play Nate and upgrade the outfield defense significantly.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Well after that “performance” maybe I’m not so sad about taking summer courses. All I heard of the game was Rowand’s homerun!!

Oh and on the way home, the rather humorous headline that “The Rangers are pursuing Molina” “Well they have horses and everything!” I thought “They oughta catch him very quickly. Did he steal the buffet again?”

Well just think back to last year, all the rumors…. pffft…. though Molina being gone would be good. I’m sure the reporter heard “a giants catcher” and assumed Molina. They probably are going to trade Posey for a sack of spit and some used golf balls.
