Post-game thread: Giants take game, series

PrintDear Giants Brass,
We know you don’t like statistics. We’re pretty sure you think that the devil has a pocket protector, and hell is wallpapered with spreadsheets. So, fine. We’ll play it your way.
Right now, Buster Posey is the best hitter on your team. Forget his minor league statistics. Forget his gaudy average since his call-up. Watch the at-bats. Pitchers attack Posey with a plan. Posey recognizes the plan and adjusts accordingly. He’ll take the pitch to the opposite field when that’s what the pitcher gives him. He tries to get the count in his favor, and when he gets there, he looks for a pitch to crush. He makes the pitcher work like few others on the Giants right now.
Maybe it’s too soon to say he’s the best hitter on the team right now, what with Aubrey Huff, Andres Torres, and Freddy Sanchez all swinging the bat well. But for the love of Bonds, he’s good.
It’s bad enough that you’re so obstinate and bizarre about Posey not replacing the 4-for-his-last-168 Bengie Molina behind the plate. But don’t compound the mistake by removing Posey for pinch-runners and defensive replacements every chance you get. Aubrey Huff is clomping around in left field in most of the late innings. Pablo Sandoval had a huge learning curve when he played third last year, but you wouldn’t have dreamed of removing him for a defensive replacement in a tie game last year. He was one of the only hitters with any talent. Start treating Buster Posey that way. If you’re so concerned about him playing out of position, then, gee, maybe play him in position.
Only you could make me twitch during a win. You took a series on the road, only dropping the Wellemeyer game. Fine work. But, man, stop acting like the veterans were the only reason you were scoring runs in the past. You weren’t scoring runs then, and now the people involved are just getting older.
Sincerely,
Some guy in his mother’s basement
P.S. Lincecum and Sandoval were both fantastic today, for the most part. Please make that happen again.
P.P.S.: Brian Wilson is still a damn fine closer, but please make him throw more strikes when he needs to.

Wilson threw 17 straight fastballs. Then facing Young, he threw 8 more. Finally threw a slider, hung it, tie game. Conclusion? Wilson has a very good fastball

Am I the only one upset
about how far off the plate Molina kept setting up for Wilson? He hit the target, but obviously not for strikes
No I was actually annoyed with that too.
I noticed it mostly with Garrett Jones. With Jones being a lefty and wilson a righty it isnt even like its going across the plate like it would Lefty v lefty or Righty v righty.
No one is going to swing at that straight of a pitch that far off the plate. I dont get it.
Its funny because fuck the dodgers
good thing Buster wasn't catching
he wouldn’t have had that veteran savvy to call for pitches 3 inches off the plate

Bochy should drop him to 7th and hit him after Molina once pitchers do figure him out, because he’ll be slightly worse than Bengie and a little better than Rowand.

The Giants defense makes more outs than any other defense, which would mean they don’t make that many mistakes compared to other defenses.

Apparently
Torres’ UZR is higher in CF than Rowand, of course Rowand has played 3x the innings there, but Torres still has ~120 IP there.
I think the case to get rid of Rowand is overwhelming. The Giants need to live with their mistake.

That's just it, they - and we - are.

But that wasn’t a mistake. It was a difficult play that he happened to not play perfectly. Once it was clear the ball was falling in front of him, he did a great job of blocking it and getting it back to the infield quickly. It was hit into no-man’s land.

Also, I dig the modesty of our youngsters
Cain, Posey, and MadBum all seem very very humble.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Unsure about Posey
My brother played with Romo and Schierholtz in college and still has some friends in the minors. According to those sources, Posey was a bit of a dick and bought into his own hype.
Third hand information, to be sure. And, to be fair, he doesn’t seem like it, yet.
But if I was tearing things up the way Buster is, batting immediately following the guy I should be replacing, I’d have a hard time being humble about it.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
But I absolutely agree with you on Cain.
I’d buy the first several rounds in the proverbial night at the bar.
And FWIW, my brother did also meet Zito in a restaurant in Denver once, and said he was a pretty cool guy. Happy to see a Giants fan on the road, he invited him out for drinks later. Unfortunately for my brother, he had a flight back to CA that night. :( But this story, unlike the Buster tale, has been confirmed by his girlfriend who works at said restaurant.

I would say there is some wisdom to that. Texas is a culture unto itself in many respects. The physiography contains elements of the Great Plains, Southeast and Southwest. It has a history born of Spanish settlers and wars of independence. Its modern visage is one of great diversity of people and ideas. One could reasonably argue Texas is simply Texas.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
When I lived in Texas
The people I knew would sometimes claim themselves as part of the South when talking about those damyankees.
But then they’d turn around and be like “Hey, we’re the only ones who can fly our flag as the same level as the U.S. flag,” and “We’re the only state that can still secede [leaving out the part where, iirc, the state would have to be divided if they seceded],” and other stuff like that.
So in my experience, Texans pick and choose when they’re included with the South.

I watched the team go through warmup drills one day at ST this year.
They’re doing a combination of stretching and walking.
Wilson, coming to a turnaround point, says – seemingly to no one in particular – “Baseball is what keeps me out of jail.”
I’m sure that was contextual to some running conversation, but the combination of his smug tone and that he said it in a volume obviously meant to be well overheard definitely helped to define his persona…that and those wonderfully thoughtful Twitters from the Scottsdale nightclubs the other year.
Brian Wilson is an attention whore.
He may very well be a dick.
But if Brian Wilson is a dick – well, I’m glad he’s our dick.

The last 8 mins were really intense, and for Utah to beat us on a scrum and take the ball back for a try was legit. Can’t blame Keenan much either, since he’s mostly accurate on his kicks.
Still, great match and I hope they plan to broadcast more Rugby games, considering the level of intensity these players show.

Schierholtz

Sanchez
Downs
Posey
With Posey and Sanchez suffering due to lower number of games.
So wouldn’t it make sense to play:

I just think the case to get rid of Rowand and Molina
Is way, way, way too obvious to ignore it. How dense do Sabean and Bochy think we really are. They are the only things really keeping this lineup from being decent. Having 2 automatic outs, 3 with the pitcher, makes it a lot harder to win games…

I mean it's one thing to not have very much talent on the roster...
But you have to try to make the best out of what you have right? Bochy/Sabean are insisting on making the worst out of what they have it seems…
I don’t know it seems my voice is echoing off these walls and this is a story that’s been beaten to death, but playing players that offer you no value and have more than better replacements doesn’t make any sense to me. I guess it’s why I don’t manage the team… I understand that Rowand has a huge contract, but he’s not good. He’s not going to be good. His value as a hitter/fielder combined is that of some of our pitchers… Taking him out of the team would improve it a lot… we really have to waive him.

Why do you still watch ESPN?
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
ESPN is unwatchable, its filled with talentless smug douche bags who try to be “hip”. There’s no real sports talk, there’s nothing thats not east coast, and worst of all they shove everything they think is relevant in your face. ESPN spends a half hour breaking down the red sox losing to the orioles in extra and then spends another half hour talking about how the yankee’s are incredible and no other team comes close to them and its amazing how they “play well even when facing adversity” LOL ESPN. Quick pitch is the best, although the female host can get pretty annoying.

but man was he missing up with the change for most of the game. He got it under a control a little bit later, but he’s still not himself.
As for the offense – I mean, I can’t imagine they’re going to let Molina keep looking THIS bad for that much longer, with the way Buster’s been playing. As much as I think they’re total idiots, the people running the team cant be that blind for that long. Unless Molina breaks out soon we might finally get what we hwanted all along.

Ichiro would not be good if he wasn’t fast
What if Ichiro were slow? What type of player would he be if he were not able to knock out so many ground ball hits?
To get an idea of what type of player Ichiro would look like without all those extra hits, I normalized his ground ball hit rate to the league average for each season and recalculated his batting totals. This adjustment cost him 42 hits in 2007 and 44 in 2004, and no less than 14 in any of the seven seasons
What removing all of the extra singles does show us is just how much value those ground ball hits supply. Without them, Ichiro’s numbers look fairly pedestrian, especially in the era in which he has played. With them, Ichiro is Ichiro, and he will go down as one of the greatest and most dynamic hitters in baseball history.

Bochy meets with Sandoval and Lincecum to have meetings when they’re struggling, but I don’t recall him ever meeting with Rowand, Wellemeyer or Molina… Does he know these players suck and therefore sees no point in trying to make them better? If they do suck, why does he continue to play them?
There’s no doubt in my mind that if we had benched Bengie and Rownads this weekend, and had Joey Martinez pitch yesterday, we would’ve been way better off…
FIRE SABEAN/BORK
/facepalm x1000
maybe because timmy and panda are young?
and therefore need more guidance? while Molina and Rowand are vets who know what it takes to turn it around? Just trying to get into Bork’s mind here.

RPG company Palladium Books (the company behind Rifts) is in perpetual financial difficulty and has been clinging to vague hints of interest from Jerry Bruckheimer for years. He bought the rights ages ago and keeps kinda maybe possibly working out a whole script.
So you know Kevin Siembieda is gonna be an enthusiastic reviewer:
Prince of Persia Movie. I took some time off last weekend to spend one evening with friends and a few hours in the afternoon another day to see the Prince of Persia movie. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved it! The action and adventure ranks right up there with Iron Man and I figured it would give me an idea of what Jerry Bruckheimer Films might do with a Rifts® movie. I was not disappointed. I don’t want to talk about the story (which was solid and more than I anticipated), so all I’ll say is that it was excellent. I recommend it. And you don’t have to know or care anything about the videogame it is inspired by, it holds up completely on its own.
Not that there’s any similarity between your adaptation of this early-90s video game and your possible adaptation of our early-90s role-playing game. Sir. None whatsoever. Sir.

Its on show no the wild pigs in the south. apparently they are a real problem in some Florida and Georgia towns. They have been killed at up to 1200 pounds. One guy was sitting on hid couch with the door open and a pig ran in and bit him a bunch and then ran away and was never caught. Another guy was attacked in his front yard. Later, he tracked it down, and had to shoot it 13 times to bring it down.

From SFGate.com:
Minor-league team takes stand vs. BP
In a protest over the gulf oil spill, a minor-league baseball team is changing the name of batting practice so the players will no longer have to utter the letters “BP.” The Brevard County Manatees of the Florida State League say they now will take “hitting rehearsal.”

Though I guess in Florida this could be a damn big economic hit, don’t people go there for the beaches and stuff? I’ve never wanted to go anywhere near Florida myself so I dunno…
It’s one thing if they are change the name of the ball park because it’s name BP Park but to change Batting Practice because it’s BP? Sounds like something that would happen in Berkeley or San Francisco with a middle school team.

The first paid team, you mean (above board).
The Redlegs thing wasn’t a dumb move by Congress. Not directly, anyway. It was a response by the team’s owners to the populist sentiment of the Red Scare emanating from Capitol Hill, though, so Congress isn’t exactly blameless either.
“We can’t play as the Reds, I’m telling you! Our fans don’t want to cheer for those damn commies, and I don’t want to be associated with them either.”
“Well, sir, we could go back to the original Cincinnati name of Red Stocki-”

.231/.265/.408/.673, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 29 K, 5 BB, 18 R, 0 SB
Rowand ranks as the 105th most productive outfielder in baseball in regards to his OPS mark of .673.
Look at it this way, there are 30 teams in baseball, and each team starts three outfielders.
Therefore, in the majors there are 90 starters in the outfield. And Rowand ranks number 105?
Is this a joke?
He is currently in the middle of a five-year 60 million dollar contract and he can’t even muster up an OPS amongst the top 90 best outfielders?
That is not just pathetic, that is ridiculously awful.

154 OPS+ is really really good. So technically he has been producing either via walk or hit against LHP.

Well considering he had that good start to the season and today was the first time he took a walk in 14 games, it probably is due to the SSS and him not having faced a lefty in a while… Also his career stats are no where near that against lefties. Unless he figured out left handers only at the age of 35, I wouldn’t make anything out of it…

If watching Rowand inspires you to go all Oedipal and blind yourself, consider yourself fortunate that Jeff Clement isn’t a Giant.
…
If Clement has one quality major league at-bat, the Pirates win that game. Simple as that.
The funny thing is I can say this about at least 10 of our games this year…
If Rowand has one quality major league at-bat, the Giants win that game. Simple as that.

All part of the ultimate nefarious plot to gift-wrap Kobe another title.
Once when David Stern was asked what his dream NBA Finals matchup would be, he replied “Lakers vs. Lakers.” This leads me to a number of conclusions:
#1. Fuck you, David Stern.
#2. David Stern does not care about small, mid-, or most large market teams.
#3. David Stern is not interested in competitive balance or parity. The NBA lottery is a sham.
#4. Fuck you, David Stern.
As a result, even though I dislike the Celtics, I will root for them to defeat the Lakers simply because David Stern wants the Lakers to win. Fuck you, David Stern.

I thought the icon was Roddy Piper
and the 3:16 thing is a Stone Cold Steve Austin reference for anyone who cares.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts was doing a Christian gimmick and was feuding with Austin. Jake was spouting off John 3:16 and Austin replied “Well Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass.” And thus the slogan spawned and sold a million t-shirts.

OT: Baseball Tonight did something very useful today.
They had a segment on sports science that tested which was better, sliding head first into first base or just running thru the bag.
They found that sliding head first, while giving you a momentary burst of speed, causes you to close in the last 10 feet of the bag .10 milliseconds slower then just running thru. This was a difference of about 3 inches, or the diameter of a baseball.
That was if you just dove into the bag, which also makes you more susceptible to injury.
If you hit the ground and actually slid, the friction causes you to decelerate even furter, 90% further.
Basically the tests said, run through the bag. Do not slide head first.

For me, the only time a player should slide into first
Is if the throw pulls the first baseman off of the bag and the first baseman tries to tag the runner (so I guess if the ball is thrown to the first baseman’s left side).

Golden, as in made of a metal that would allow us to sink even faster.

Renteria and derosa back? For what? We need to get rowand outta the lineup and let burrell get some starts.

@ Leila. Rowand was on fire at the beginning of the year and had an amazing road trip in the florida and new york. watch the games before you talk.
Richard Fong
let’s play “what if…” What if eiither Sandoval, Rowand, Brian Wilson, or Lincecum got hot. That is Sandoval and Rowand got HOT and batted 400 for over two weeks, or Lincecum pitched three near shutouts in a row, or Wilson had 5 saves in a row.
Suddenly the Pirates offered McCutchen, Milegede and a bunch of prospects, or the Brewers offered Fielder and 5 top prospects, or the Yankees offered their AAA farm team for Lincecum.
If you were Brian Sabean, would you take it?… See More
Just asking.
What if, Bochy got off his ass and made a compotent lineup? What if we could trade Velez, who is killing the ball in AAA for McCutchen? What if you shit $100 bills?
Mark Hope
@Richard
Great ""what if""
I say no, Big Time Timmy Jim has obviously established himself as an ace, I would only trade him for another ace. I would not trade anybody for Prince! Ryan Braun is another story, I would do prospects for him
Are the prospects hot?

I fucking love Joe Posnanski
Bob Geren had his reliever Brad Ziegler intentionally walk Morneau.
Even now, I need to go back to the Gameday account to be sure that this really happened. It seems impossible to me that a big league manager would intentionally walk a the winning run with the bases empty. And that winning run was wrecked by the flu? And the pitcher on the mound, Brad Ziegler, is a savage sinkerballer? Impossible is not a strong enough word. As mentioned above, I often joke about moves so bad that I would fire the manager mid-game. But I’m usually just joking. I think this move might actually be a fireable offense, no joke, no exaggeration.
Of course, Morneau’s pinch-runner came around to score and the A’s lost … the baseball gods do not always punish the wicked but they will not just allow people to spit in their faces. And, of course, Geren’s explanation after the game was feeble — well, how could he explain THAT move? He said that with Morneau being so hot*, and with Ziegler’s pitching style**, that he did not like the match-up***, and did not want Morneau beating the A’s right then and there. Apparently, Bob Geren is now in the business of predicting home runs. It might be a whole new way of managing … whenever you have this weird gut feeling that opponent is going to hit a home run, you just walk him! The new Moneyball!
*Morneau had hit two home runs in his previous 18 games.
**Ziegler has allowed six home runs in his entire career — that’s over 160 innings.
***Morneau and Ziegler had only faced each other twice — Morneau singled once.
We need to pull Bochy’s post game quotes and do the footnotes / annotations as well.

Also apparently Geren is hiding Andrew Bailey.
He did not pitch yesterday and today in the 8th when the Twins cut the lead from 5-2 to 5-4 he was not in the bullpen. Then they had a new pitcher pitch the 9th.
Even Fosse was like “Where is Bailey, he should have been available today.”

I had this awesome fanpost all planned out
Andres Torres. A center fielder that moonlights as a corner outfielder. Hits at the top of the lineup and wrecks havoc on the base paths. Plays hard. Has some pop but generally gap power hitter. This sounds totally like Shane Victorino to me. What a great topic of a fanpost!
And then I went and compared stats. Much to my chagrin, they are two totally different players (if you take Torres 2009 / 2010 and discard his previous incarnation as irrelevant, that is).
Torres lays off over 30% of the pitches in the strike zone. Victoniro doesn’t. Not even close. Their K/BB ratio are similar, but Torres Ks twice as much and walk twice as much. Torres has a really high BABIP, upwards of .350+, Victorino hovers more around the traditional .300 line.
Torres is a true centerfielder. Victoniro is more like an excellent corner outfielder that could play centerfield according to UZR.
So in the end, I am not writing this fanpost. Because I thought I could trust my eyes. My eyes told me “well Torres is like Victorino!”. And then I went to the stats and learned that they are two totally different players.
Next time somebody that asks you to trust what they see, don’t believe him. See for yourself, and see it with a side of stats.

Yea, pretty much, i see Torres as a true centerfielder
he probably should take over the CF spot over Rowand, but obviously it wont happen

Torres is nothing like Victorino
Torres is a likable guy that runs on the base paths and does not do things that could potentially injure fielders.

Rowand is so bad
that even gary radnich is demanding he be benched. He even went as far to say “he’s an automatic out and a over-rated defender and always air mails throws”. If someone as inept and clueless as gary radnich is saying this.. what does this have to say about bork?

If only our club can understand sunk cost is sunk
No longer willing to carry Jeff Suppan on their pitching staff merely on the basis of his salary, the Brewers finally decided to part ways with the veteran right-hander by releasing him Monday.
Suppan, 35, was in the final year of a four-year, $42 million contract he signed as a free agent before the 2007 season. His salary for this season is $12.5 million, and approximately $8.3 million remains to be paid.
The Brewers also are obligated to pay Suppan a $2 million buyout of a club option for $12.75 million for 2011.
So, in essence, the Brewers are paying more than $10 million to cut the cord with Suppan.

The giants would be smart to pick him up and try him out as a 5th starter. We already know hellemeyer is done, considering he’s an automatic loss on the road with his 11 road ERA and extended BP sessions. I know suppan isn’t to exciting, but he’s a hell of a lot more promising than hellemeyer and maybe a change of scenery could give us 100+ innings of 4 era.
"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."
Didn't Suppan consider coming to SF a few years ago
when Matheny was still the catcher? However, that was a few years ago, when he was still a decent pitcher.
I’d venture to guess that some combination of our AAA talent will do better than Jeff Suppan.

Suppan at least was something worthy of a big contract once, where as besides one fluky year, wellemeyer has always been trash.

In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Is it gonna take a act of congress to get aaron rowand benched?
I seem to recall blowand having runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out and a 2-0 count in yesterdays game. He fouled off a fastball right down the middle and then proceeded to pop up on the same pitch. Aaron rowand is garbage, I’m sick of this pathetic orginization shoving him in our faces like he is something. All the giants care about is making money, which is why it confuses me that they keep playing rowand. Attendance is already going down steadily, and thats because aaron rowand and bengie molina are shoved in giants fans faces like they are franchise corner stones. Bench the two free outs, stop the ass kissing and acting that is giants front office approved baseball. By the way, posey catching = yum.
