Post-Game Thread: Giants come back, beat Reds

PrintQuick notes:
- I don't want to get nuts here, so I'll just calmly note that Andres Torres might be the greatest fielder I've ever seen.
- Giants ERA before this game: 3.27. Giants ERA during Buster Posey starts in 2010: 5.00. Science. What say the Bochy haters now?
- Posey said that Zito threw the ball "well." Not good, but "well." Be still my grammar nerd heart. He's a 60 on the 20-to-80 grammar scouting scale right now, but he has 80 potential, which would mean he'd use "whom" correctly every time.
- With the bases loaded with one out in the sixth, and Barry Zito up, the only reason not to pinch-hit is if Zito is pitching an absolute gem. I don't usually find fault with how Bruce Bochy manages his pitching staff, but in this case, his ability to doink up an offense superseded one of his managerial strengths.
- Breaking from CSN Bay Area: Mark DeRosa's wrist is hurt.
- California did not slide into the sea. The moon is still aloft in the heavens. The magnetic poles did not reverse. Buster Posey caught a full game without incident, and he looked pretty damned good doing it. More, please.

Torres is the kind of guy who does well this season, and who is promptly replaced in the off season by an overpriced vet.

Copied from gamethread
So I am assuming all 5 runs scored on a passed ball by Buster?
Watched the game. Man that was pretty cool. I really like seeing Posey behind the dish. And when he gunned down Votto it was so awesome. Out by a yard. Bengie barely gets that throw off if he gets him at all.
Posey would move behind the plate, spring from one side to the other, spring up outta the squat. He was so amazingly mobile. It’s a breath of fresh air.
I also like how he was dancing around the fact that he knows he may not catch again soon, and that he was "worried he may have been stiff"

Andres Torres
I have this theory about Torres, he never got a chance to play on his previous teams because he was deemed to young by the likes of managers like Bochy. Since he is over 30 now he has earned the right to play.
So what will happen with Bowker and Schierholtz is that they will probably never get a chance to play until they are over 30. Then a manager like Bochy will start playing them just because they are over 30 then he’ll realize hey their pretty good.
I don’t know where i’m going with this but for some reason it makes sense to me :(
SCIENCE
The Giants are 6-3 since Posey was called up.

Schulman explains
I don’t know if this will resurface again this series, but the Giants believe that the Reds’ Ramon Hernandez might have been relaying pitch location to Orlando Cabrera at the plate in the sixth inning. Bochy even called to Posey to remind him not to set up too early.
I did not see this, but it appeared to some in the press box that after Romo struck out Cabrera to end the inning, Romo turned toward Hernandez and gestured toward him. Hernandez told a Reds beat writer he thought the same thing. But Romo said no, he was talking to Juan Uribe as they were coming off the field.

More LOL MOLINA
Molina has a .080 average (4 for 50) in his last 15 games and the only walk he’s drawn was intentional. He hasn’t scored a run in 17 games. Shortly before Bochy revealed the cortisone shot to reporters, Molina was asked if he had any physical issues.
“Everything is fine, no excuses,” Molina said. “You’re in a slump because of the numbers but I don’t feel I’m in a slump.”
Yeah you’re not in a slump, and don nelson coaches defense the stats just don’t show it.

The first part makes no sense. The numbers are there because you are in a slump. Not the other way around. They do not pencil your stats in first then tell you to go hit to them.
The second part is infuriating. 4 for 50 is a slump. If you were a young catcher under 30 putting up that line you would have been benched 2 weeks ago.

Bengie
I said last month that I think the Giants should just get rid of Bengie now, and get on with the Buster Posey era in earnest. So I’m hoping that tonight marked another step in that all-too-slow process that will eventually result in Posey being the everyday catcher, and Bengie being an ex-Giant.
I also know Bengie has a tendency towards whining, self-pitying comments. But I actually don’t think this is one of those times.
I don’t think Bengie is trying to deny that he’s in a slump. I think he’s just trying to say that when he’s at the plate, he doesn’t feel any different from how he normally feels when he’s batting. He doesn’t feel like he’s in a slump. He doesn’t feel lost at the plate. He feels like he’s getting good swings. I think it’s similar to an older person saying, “I know I’m 50, but I still feel like 25”.
I’ve objected to many things Bengie has said in the past, but I don’t he’s saying anything wrong here. Just my opinion. I can see how you can interpret his comments differently.

From Schulman re: Rowand/Schierholtz
I understand the fans’ frustration with Aaron Rowand. Even with a single in four trips tonight he is 14-for-95 since May 9.
Discovering why he remains in the lineup is difficult because Bochy will protect his players in comments to the press, even if it means he gets hammered by the fans.
Many of you wonder why Nate Schierholtz does not replace Rowand, at least temporarily, under the assumption that he could not do any worse.
As best as I can piece this together, Bochy has not been enamored with Schierholtz’s hitting since that hot spell he had early on. In particular, Schierholtz is batting .238 against right-handed pitchers and, overall, has only eight RBIs in 116 at-bats.
Given a choice between a struggling veteran and a struggling younger player, I think we all know which way Bochy is going to lean.
Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/giants/index#ixzz0qEMnrpXB
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Schierholtz with RISP:
Seven hits and seven walks (hitting in front of the pitcher) in 34 plate appearances. He’s hitting .280 with a .455 OBP in 27 at-bats. Gee, maybe he only has eight RBI because he’s only had 27 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
Rowand has had 44 at-bats with RISP, and he has 12 hits, which gives him a .273 average with a .319 OBP. Are all of those extra RBI coming because of talent? Bruce Bochy thinks so. It’s amazing.

If all things were equal, I could buy that he’s going with a veteran. I mean, Huff, Franchez and Uribe are all playing really well (even Torres is 32), so he probably thinks that kind of “evidence” justifies his philosophy. But, I don’t think Nate and Rowand are equal. For one thing, Nate sees pitches really well. For another, .238 against righties? Rowand’s hitting .254, period. They certainly haven’t gotten an equal amount of playing time. And, what about Burrell?

Nate slumped
and you cannot slump if you are not a vet. I was worried when Torres struggled a bit awhile ago. If he takes an 0-16 watch out. Rowand can’t run, can’t hit and is nowhere near as strong defensively in Center as Torres. That leaves RF for Nate. A terriic duo defensively. With speed. Nice thought.
Bruce Bochy
I seriously hate you, I just don’t understand anymore. Are you trying your hardest to make this team fail? It’s just beyond me how stupid the man is. His reasoning for everything is just such a contradiction in itself and so idiotic that I can’t believe he would rationally come up with this in his mind, he has to just be pulling an answer out of his ass. And the whole shit about Posey/Molina just makes me want to scream. So in the end fuck you Bochy, go jump off a fucking cliff, or do something, anything to stay out of the dugout.

No, the paradigm shift hasn’t happened yet, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Molina had a cortisone injection in his ailing left elbow last Wednesday and needed another day to heal, but the veteran will catch Matt Cain tonight, Bochy said.
Bochy got high with timmy after the game.

The call at second was borderline. The runner could’ve been out, he could’ve been safe. From my point of view, he was out. Velez started arguing, but then someone appeared to have said something and MadBum went apeshit. He was ready to fight the umps and all that shit. It was the second time there was a borderline call, so, I guess the frustration had gotten to him. But I have to say, throwing the ball into centerfield while heading into the dugout was uncalled for.

Just saw Buster's throw.
Holy shit. Holy shit.
That was one of the most impressive throws I’ve ever witnessed. What a cannon.
The only reason to play Molina is to protect his delicate sensibilities. I’ve never seen Molina make a throw like that. I don’t have a lot to say other than that I’m excited and eager to see this guy get behind the plate on a daily basis. I hope (but doubt) that management will have the guts to make the right move. This guy has hit and fielded without a hitch. Molina can’t say the same. Make the right move.

1st time here, so can somebody please tell me
why everybody is hatting on Posey (especially Grant), honest question, Because from the outside looking in, Posey had been raking at the plate. Is it really his fault those 5 runs scored? sure hes “handling” the staff, but hes not throwing the pitches, it seems unfair to drop the ERA on Posey, GRANT. It was after all his 1st start as catcher in 2010 was it not. Dont jump on me too fast, just trying to understand why some folks refuse to believe he can handle it.
Grant was joking. Almost everyone here loves Posey and wants him to start over Molina.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Or at the very least be starting at catcher wherever he is playing until such a time as he is deemed ready to be the everyday catcher in SF.

Also on this note
Thank god he is finally [I believe] getting the surgery. I hate our medical staff, and Brian Sabean for encouraging him to “gamer it through” when he’s on a two year contract. Asinine.
Bochy
Happy to see I wasn’t the only one who noticed the 6th inning blunder of not pinch hitting for Zito. Amazes me the Giants keep winning despite the best efforts of their manager. Would love to see what this team could do with someone at the helm that knew what they were doing.
