Post-game thread: Zito, Zito, Zito

PrintThis is the Faustian bargain we’re all a part of. We have to remember these games every time the Giants are losing 2-1, 3-2, 1-1, 0--1...these things do even out. Kind of.
Barry Zito won a Cy Young award once. For most of the past three years, we’ve scratched our heads every time we were on that particular Baseball Reference page. A Cy Young? Was it WWII? Was there a strike on? So it’s nice that every now and again, he reminds us that, yes, he was once very good and, no, he doesn’t like that nerds like me put that kind of statement in the past tense. I didn’t mean to. Dude was good tonight. Present tense.
You might have missed the other happenings tonight. Let’s see, Brian Wilson had a mostly uneventful ninth as he slowly transitions into one of the better relievers in baseball. Buster Posey must have been shaken off eleventy-six times tonight, as he caught his second straight shutout, which rookie catchers can’t do. Oh, and Bengie Molina hit a triple. To complete a cycle. Bengie Molina was one hit short of the cycle, that hit was a triple, and Molina got it. Think about how amazing that is. Molina...
- needed to have a four-hit game
- needed to get a double, which is really, really tough for him compared to other players, and it needed to clank off the glove of the right fielder.
- needed to get a triple. A triple. Bengie Molina needed a triple at the same time he had a double, a single, and a home run.
Video proof, if you need it. Look, I know it’s Zito’s night, but what in the actual hell? Bengie Molina hit for the cycle. The Giants won 1-0, but Bengie Molina hit for the cycle. Somewhere, a baby is being born to a mother and father who love that baby very much, but Bengie Molina hit for the cycle..
Good game, Giants. Good game, Bengie. This is like running into an ex when it’s clear that everything is going absolutely swimmingly for both parties. You got a promotion? Good, well we just bought a 5,000 sq. ft. house. Good, well, our kid just got into Yale. Good, good, that’s swell, and my spouse doesn’t make the same monkey faces during intercourse that you did. Good, good. I’m glad it’s all working out. That’s what the Molina trade/Posey liberation feels like right now.
Also, Bengie Molina hit for the cycle. And Barry Zito pitched eight shutout innings. Didn’t have to use the AK.

The Giants had some chances though. Twice they had a runner on third with one out and didn’t get him in. They also had Uribe clobber one with two men on that didn’t get out. The Meta didn’t have a chance to score all night. One man to second base, and that was on a two out pop fly double.

Awesome

He was getting swings off the fastballs too, though. As far as I could tell anyway, considering I listened to the game.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
He actually was. It was shocking to see professional hitters swing and miss on a 85 mph fastball a handful of times
Zito cuts it pretty well up on the hands
That pitch seems faster than it is.

My useless opinion is that BZ has learned how to waste his fastball. In the latter part of his career, Warren Spahn said that his fastball of perhaps 80+ was his best pitch. This was because of “hungry” hitters. He learned to throw the fastball high (or low) enough to seduce, but not center enough to get burned. He won 250 of his 320 games doing this.

But I have always said that if Zito helps the Giants win a world series championship then his contract is worth it no matter what he does before and after.
If Zito can deliver more consistently like he has in approximately 1/2 of his starts this season, and we get into the playoffs, we are dangerous as hell.

Being in NY, I’m forced to watch the Mets’ feed on all these games, but Keith Hernandez has a serious man crush on Buster Posey. He’s comparing him to Johnny Bench, and going crazy over his swing and his arm. I think he’s even dumped Elaine Benes for him.

I have no problem with the Mets broadcasting team. I consider it a serious plaudit that Buster’s been exciting enough to actually attract Keith’s attention.

Having been FORCED by MLB - TV to catch the Mets side of the opening game I have no problem with them either.
It was funny listening to Hernandez’ astonishment at Bochy’s head size, and also when he tried to direct Ishi to optimum positioning.

Phillips is often erroneously blamed for trading Kazmir to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for Victor Zambrano on the July 31, 2004 trade deadline. Kazmir went on to become an All Star, while Zambrano never made an impact with the Mets and was out of major league baseball a few years later. It was, however, Jim Duquette, Phillips’ successor, who made the deal.

This may be the funniest thing I've read all year
When slow-footed Bengie Molina went to the plate needing a triple to hit for the cycle in cozy Fenway Park, his manager had a question for Michael Young.
“Where do you think he has to hit it for a triple?” Ron Washington asked his third baseman. “He said, ‘Nowhere in this ballpark.’”
As always, I wonder what sort of Vegas odds you could have gotten before the season on the prop bet “Bengie Molina will become the first visiting player in 32 years to hit for the cycle in Fenway Park.”
"I could hear the angry MCC cacophany in my head."--Oldjacket, 7/4/10
What I found hilarious was the red sox didn’t even bother to throw to 3rd. It should have been an error on patterson but after how many times molina got AT&T’d he deserved that.

Best fact about the 8 games played against the padres this year: The 7 games bengie molina started the giants all lost and molina drove in 0 runs while being 0 for 12 with RISP and 4 GIDP’s. The padres also ran all over us regardless who was on the bases, that was fucking pathetic.

I didn’t expect the giants to win after the 4th inning ended but zito somehow made 1 run stand up. The giants should of at least had a 3-0 or 4-0 lead but there was epic RISP fails. I guess the mets expected maximum mediocrity from zito and got 12-6’d all night and had no idea what was coming.

that was an incredibly classless thing to do. Besides scoring the game’s only run, Huff made like 4 very nice catches of fouls, including one leaning over the railing that most guys would have given up on. And he did it very nonchalantly, kind of looking at the crowd afterward like “yeah, no problem”.

still dumb
Ishi went in the 9th spot, and the 5th spot would have led off the tenth so it’s entirely possible that spot doesn’t come up until the hypothetical 11th inning. Which if you get to the tenth, why would you want Wilson still pitching? If the closer can’t close, what’s the difference? And if you have concluded the game is going extra innings, why take Huff’s bat out at all?
It didn’t seem to bother Huff (I don’t know that anything really does) but it looked like crap.

Calling it "classless" when we don't know the whole story might be extreme
My guess: It was probably a combination of wanting to not have Wilson at the plate, wanting Ishi’s defense and giving Huff some rest. After all that running around on defense and being on the bases all night, he was probably pretty gassed.
For all we know, Bochy talked to Huff and Huff said he was on fumes. As you said, Huff didn’t seem bothered by it. Besides, it’s not like Ishi is an embarassment at the plate these days.
If taking him out helps him stay in the lineup today, the move was pretty defendable.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
I'm always glad to see Ishi play
I question the amount of rest gained by sitting for half an inning.

It all depends on what would have happened
But if he’d had to leg out a triple or dive for a couple balls on defense, it could have made a huge difference.
I’m specicially thinking about that game a couple weeks ago where Huff gave all and needed to rest the next day.
Again, we have no idea what conversation might have occurred in the dugout. Huff could have said, “Skip, if I have to make another one of those catches out there..we’re screwed.”
My only point remains that without full knowledge of the situation, it might not be fair to jump down Bochy’s throat for this one.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
still not sure
how he legs out a triple in a home game in the bottom of the ninth. And yes, you are entirely free to imagine rational conversations that might have happened. And if Huff sits today or turns out to be injured, that’s fine. Otherwise it just looks like another pointless double switch that took out a guy who had reached base every time up, scored the winning run, and made several nice defensive plays. I’ve seen plenty.

so, I'll share a fun story with y'all
For one of my TA training courses, we have a class blog we have to post to a couple of times a week. One student wrote a post entitled, “Teaching Through the Lens of Marxism.” It talked about the theoretical background of one particular approach to teaching composition, which does have some Marxist influence.
A few days ago, we noticed it had been linked from an ultra-conservative website that aggregates blog posts based on keywords. Apparently they’re trying to prove that the education system is brainwashing the nation’s youth to become commie-nazi zombies. SCORE!

alcoholic type I
‘Maintenance-type’ alcoholic An anxiety-prone or passive-dependent person who drinks to alleviate problems; the onset in either sex is after age 25; AT-Is have a high reward dependence and avoid harmful or novel situations; most have minimal–if at all—antisocial tendencies
alcoholic type II
‘Binge’ drinker An alcoholic who enjoys the novelty of drinking; AT-IIs may be antisocial, have a history of violence, may be the biological son of an alcoholic father, and become alcoholic by age 25
I was promised lasagna.
Well, that’s weird, i’m not a type II either, i do binge drink on occasion, since it’s college, but i don’t have a history of violence, i’m not antisocial at all, i’m on the opposite of that. Oh shit… the last one scares me tho about being a son of an alcoholic father

Giant Moves
I read this blog every day. I seldom post. Grant has a very witty approach to a long season and is entertaining. I just wanted to add a couple takes.
The Giants starting pitching is really five deep and with Martinez and Wellmayer they have acceptable call ups to fill in for injury. I’m not real sure why they carry 13 pitchers. The starters all seem to be going 6 plus per start.
A subtle and very positive change has taken place with this team. The addition of Posey (long overdue) and Bomgarner (also overdue) plus the long awaited emergence of Ishikawa has helped this team immensely. All of a sudden the Giants are signifcantly younger and playing with a more youthful enthusiasm.
I would like to see the Giants make one or two moves to continue this youth movement. I think it is time to try and dump Rowand’s contract. Even if the Giants have to pay a team to take his salary by 50% we can get a young prospect in return. Scherholtz is at least as good defensively and with more at bats he will probably hit for a higher average. With the roster spot available I would like to see Tyler Graham moved up and allowed to play rotating between Torres, Huff, Burrell and Scherholtz.
In addition the Giants don’t really need thirteen pitchers. One should be sent down and Ryan Rohlinger should be brought up to take some of the burden off Uribe and Renteria. Uribe is tiring and needs some time off. He has dropped 50 points on his batting average and has been clearly overused. Rohlinger is capable of playing three infield spots and would be a solid addition.
Any comments?

I would do naked cartwheels through a crowded mall if the Giants found a way to get rid of Rowand. Unfortunately, no team is going to take him. It was easier trading Molina because of his contract.

One of these days I’m going to peer through every team in the league to try and come up with possible Rowand scenarios. Still, even if I were to find something perfect, I doubt a team could even pretend to be interested until Rowand is in his last year.

If they could drop Rowand and just utilize Torres everyday
like they are now, i’d be very happy, and Schierholtz though isn’t really doing a whole lot on the offensive end unfortunately…. Graham would be an interesting call up, since i dont see anybody else in the minors, specifically AAA that’s half way decent and ready at this point. I would expect to see the giants move a pitcher down sometime soon and bring up RyRohl (commence SWOONING). Rohlinger then would be the Schierholtz of the infield, good defense, but suspect offensively

One has to think . . .
. . . that if the G’s were to eat all or nearly all of his contract, someone would take him. As everyone keeps saying, “sunk costs anyway”, so the net change would be no Rowand and—possibly—some at least marginally useful puzzle piece. That would be a major improvement, even if the marginal never actually got out of triple-A: addition by subtraction.

Even if we were to dump Rowand’s contract (which we won’t), Bowker would be a much better candidate to take his spot than Graham.

opening the windows does absolutely nothing down there, and a fan does nothing either, my grandpa used to actually put the heat on during the summer
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Unless it’s a little windy outside, opening the windows is not really a good idea. But, seriously? He put the heat on?

I haven’t followed the Earthquakes since they came back to San Jose, but I think Cannon was in contention for GK of the year when Busch won it. Cannon won GK of the year twice before that too.

I'm 2-0 this year
Went to opening day which was awesome (to spite the braves having 200 baserunners). I also went to the sunday game against the braves and waited through 8 hours of rain delay and walked past kirk rueter like 500 times who looked like he was having a great time. Not sure what game I’m gonna go to next I don’t wanna lose my undefeated record :D.
