Post-game thread: Giants drop 7th straight game
by Natto on Jul 2, 2010 8:10 PM PDT
Email
PrintYou know, at the end of the season, we probably will have forgotten all about this stretch of games. We'd chuckle and think, "I don't remember that happening. How about that." I envy our future selves. The Giants will probably win a game some time in the near future. Maybe. In the meantime, we can wallow in self-pity and despair. Hey, it's something we're all good at! I think I'll eat this box of ice cream sandwiches.

I still think it’s too early to say that but I highly doubt we will magically start playing good
I bet you tomorrow they will beat Jimenez just to fuck with our minds

The giants light up jiminez for no reason, then lose 3 more in a row.

Affeldt did his best george sherill impression
Good thing bork didn’t use mota for the 5th day in a row in a high leverage situation, that’s about all I can say.

Adding insult to injury
Bengie lines a single in his first Ranger at bat. Eli looked good tonight, didn’t he? If Buster doesn’t catch everything except games he needs to be rested, Bochy will look even dumber than he already does.

Not only did he get a base hit in his first at bat
He was part of a dribbler DP 3 pitches later, and then failed to throw out pierre on a failed hit and run and then allowed a “wild pitch”.

Just like the Giants Sabean has me on edge
His trade of Bengie shows he may actually have balls, which means he could possibly fire Bochy..
But then does that mean Sabes is off the hook?
Does anyone think Sabes would actually pull the trigger?
To save his own ass?
Without a doubt.

If the giants are more than a game or two under .500 by the all star break he’s gone unless he gets them to turn it around in last two weeks of july.

It's the kids fault
they can’t play! If they simply would hit the ball harder when they’re out of the starting lineup, they’d get in the starting lineup. How hard is that to understand?
You know what pisses me off the most?
We’re not going to the playoffs this year. Not even close. And at the end of this season, we STILL WILL NOT KNOW IF NATE OR BOWKER CAN BE THE EVERY DAY RIGHT FIELDER NEXT YEAR.
ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHH IT FUCKING KILLS ME THAT 3 YEARS LATER, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW.

Nate
is a corner outfielder with 7 homeruns in 600+ AB’s. The question is answered.
My problem with that is
the only time he has had close to consistent playing time is this season.
I would like to see 500 ABs from him in one season. Hell I could be persuaded for 400-450 range.

Giants are currently 40-39 at game #79. Last year at game #79 the team was 43-36.
83 games left in the season, if the Giants go .500 from here on out, they’ll win 81.5 games. If they can go .550 from here on out, they’ll win right around 85 games.

Not Enough
This team is not constructed properly. We all knew that coming in. What we needed in the offseason was a cleanup hitter, a leadoff hitter, and speed. We picked up a good #5 bat in Huff, but then solved our problems with DeRosa? Sabean has never been able to build the team the correct way. In fact, had he simply just assessed how poor his team was in 2005, and started to build the minors then, and actually start the youth movement, we’d be in a pretty nice position. I just wish Villalona would have shot Sabean.

the problem with the Bay Area, and this isn’t meant to discourage you, is that UC Berkeley is a factory for these kind of people, so they get favorable treatment, plus there are a shitload of them that have been at it for years. You just need to hit the bricks, as they say, and press the flesh (in person, shaking hands, etc). Also, for someone your age, having size is a plus, so showing yourself can’t hurt.

If only this team had the balls to go into full firesale mode
I bet we could get a nice haul from the Angels for Huff.
I bet we could get a nice prospect from Philly for Uribe with Utley out.
There's good and there's bad.
The bad is easy: in a relatively short period, this team’s projections from play-to-date have dropped by about 10 seasonal wins, from 94 or so to 84.
The good, such as it may be, is that speaking purely subjectively, with no analysis, the offense in the two games since the trade looks to me—despite unchanged net results—to be going at it a lot better. The batters mostly look confident, they have made an awful lot more loud outs than they were making, and they no longer look (again, to me) like a team that in the old baseball phrase, is playing ‘flat". Molina alone was 7% to 8% of the tea’s plate apperances through yesterday, plus he was blocking several men from playing their best positions (though Pumpkin seems dedicated to trying to continue those procedures), DeRosa is no longer being forced to do amateur imitations of his healthy self, Vroom has scooted all the way to Fresno, and Burrell has been added.
The problems of late have been that the pitching has gone seriously far to the south. The record strongly suggests that while the starting staff may have been somewhat over its collective head, it isn’t remotely as bad as it has looked recently.
Some hope remains. Stay thirsty, my friends.

We could’ve used KT in the front office 3 months ago.

They had a falling out. That’s why Bochy ended up with the Giants.
Towers was a pretty bad GM, though. The Padres’ track record in his tenure was mostly abysmal.

But . . .
. . . that is not regression, because it went a long ways to the far side the norm.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Technically
Isn’t that proper regression for that period of time early in the season they went a long ways to the top side of the norm?
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
That depends . . .
. . . on what one thinks the “norm” here is. Without running numbers, just impressions, I don’t think they were all that much over their heads, so this would be an over-correction.
Also keep in mind that The Law of Large Numbers (known to non-mathematicians as The Law of Averages) does not say or imply that runs of one kind are later cancelled by runs of the other kind: it says that their significance is eventually washed out as the number of samples becomes large. Naifs who misunderstand that tend to bet heavily on black at roulette after an unusual number of reds have come up, but all the Law says is that after a great many more spins of the wheel, that run of reds will be a trivial blip. “Regression to the mean” occurs not because of cancelling data following but because of large amounts of average data following.

bochy's plan to revive the offense: play Whiteside and Rowand as much as possible
I like my beer cold ... my TV loud ... and my romosexuals flaming.--Homer Simpson
Don't forget renteria and burrell as everyday players as well
Gotta keep the professional hitters with proven track records in the middle of the line up for consistent production.
Here comes good swing comments and bochy saying it’s the best line up to win.
"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."
Why . . .
. . . can no one distinguish good not-young players from bad ones? Why is everyone over 30 considered meat for snide remarks? There are an awful lot of teams that would be more than happy with what Burrell and Renteria have put up this year for the Giants at their positions. Molina is/was Molina and Rowand is Rowand and DeRosa is seriously hurt. What does that have to do with Renteria or Burrell, or Torres or Huff or Uribe or the price of butter in Chicago?
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
I’m just making bochy stereotype jokes to attempt to feel better about the massacre that the giants have been lately. It’s really not a blame that can be put on any single player, it’s the roster as its constructed with a manager that has no idea about anything concerning offense.
"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."

There are serious problems with the GM, yes, but . . .
. . . there were and are enough pieces available to make a decent run. But you can’t make a run when your manager is a ball and chain on the team because he doesn’t know good from bad players, because in turn he has no idea how run scoring actually works.

While the giants have been sucking and are generally full of lols, there nothing in comparison tp the bottom 15 in the league. I listen to cubs games on mlb audio all the time while at work and it always makes me feel extremely good about the giants. That team is the definition of LOLS they have a 148 million dollar payroll and are down right terrible. Just look at the zambrano and soriano contracts, those two pale in comparison to what we have with zito and rowand. I don’t think the cubs are dumb enough to pick up the 16 million dollar option aramis ramirez and derek lee have for options next year but you never know.

It's All About Scoring Runs
Having good starting pitchers does not mean much if the team cannot score runs. Sure, in the postseason dominant pitching performances can beat good hitting teams but it doesn’t work in the regular season.
If you look at the team stats for runs scored, seven out of the eight teams leading the majors in runs scored are either leading their divisions or in second place. The only team not in that group is San Diego, who is number one in team ERA. My prediction is that both the Dodgers and Rockies will pass the Padres by the end of the month and I see the Padres young pitching staff faltering in August.
As for the Giants, it’s obvious that the lack of offense leads to losses during winnable games. During the 7 game losing streak, the Giants were within 1-3 runs going into the last few innings of each game, except for the final game against he Dodgers. A decent hitting team would have posted enough runs to win three or four of those games. So, instead of being one game over 500, they could have been 7 to 9 games over .500.
The lack of run support also puts a lot of stress on starting pitching. The starters know that there is little margin for error and that a good pitching performance could easily result in a loss. The opposing hitters also know that they don’t have to come up with a big hit every time because they know that their team will be in the game since the Giants don’t score much.
Unfortunately, Sabean has been quite delusional in believing that the Giants pitching will keep them in games and all their offense needs to do is scratch out a few extra runs to win a game. It works for the Padres because they have young guys who can run and steal bases and avoid hitting into double plays. They are much better situational hitters and can do the right things late in a close game.
Let’s face it, the Giants pitching is good but not great. LIke last year, the starters have thrown the ball well. But it’s just a matter of time before each one of them goes through a slump (Lincecum is in one now) meaning the Giants have little chance of winning those games.
So, it’s all about the hitting (or lack of) for the Giants. Until they can score more runs,
they will not contend for the playoffs this year.

I hope not
Sabean went into job security mode, and when the rangers came at him intently pursuing molina he played it the right way. I imagine he acted like he didn’t wanna give away molina and he was valuable to the club. That way we were actually able to get a good prospect and a serviceable reliever instead of a PTBNL. Then again if molina was traded for 75k he’d probably cry himself out of the league.

"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."
I would trade just about anything for ryan braun, it’s to bad sabean couldn’t have traded away lowry and some other prospects back in 2007 for 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."
How do you figure?
Fielder is a free agent at the end of this year, and Gonzalez has a 5.5 million dollar club option for 2011. I also doubt the Padres would be willing to deal Gonzalez within the division.
The downside of Fielder is that he’s a Scott Boras client. I dunno how he’d get along in the clubhouse either with the home run celebration from last year, plus the incident where he went after Guillermo Mota in the Dodgers clubhouse last year.
He's eligible for arbitration in 2011 and a FA in 2012
Scott boras = no no.
"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."
Yep.
I totally forgot about his remaining arb. years. He’s definitely the big bat that the GIants need but the potential for clubhouse asshattery and the fact that Boras would most likely ensure he’s hugely overpaid should raise eyebrows.
He’d ask for 15 million in arbitration, and as far as a extension goes boras would want at 8 years at 160 million at least.
"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."
I really do not think Fielder is the answer.
He seems to not have much regard for his BMI either.
I do not want to hurt our starting pitching, which does not have the depth it used to.

i don't think he is 'THE ANSWER' either
but what i can not underestimate is the his presence. i can’t really quantified what ‘presence’ is except i think he will make the lineup deeper and put fear into the opposing pitcher. kinda like Strawberry or Bond use to do opposing team psychologically but to a lesser extent.
as far as starting pitching depth goes, mayhaps we can go after a Jon Garland type to fill the void in the off season.

Check out Baggs' postgame blarg (the part about Zack Wheeler)
I don’t know anything about the guy other than that he was our first rounder last year and he’s been hurt this year. Baggs is making him sound expendable, and that he might be aggressively shopped if the Giants decide to go for a big bat. Thoughts?
Too sane to be true.
Wheeler is, by report from those who seem to know their apples, quality goods. If the Giants want a quality bat—and for heaven’s sake, get youth!—they will have to expend a quality chip. A young starter a little ways off is exactly ideal, because they have a full solid rotation right now, and so can most afford that sort of trading chip.
But I fear what Sabean will drag back from such a deal. Not, for pity’s sake, a short-term, high-price “We’re In This Thing”® player.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
All this talk of Prince Fielder in the media and here....
Let me be perfectly clear. I don’t mind Prince fielder on the 2010 San Francisco Giants. or the 2011 San Francisco Giants. The man can rake.
My problem with the Prince Fielder acquisition is the inevitable 7 years, 140 Million dollars extension that will come with the trade, Matt Holliday style. Sabean will not trade the farm for 1.5 years of fielder. He will want the guaranteed that Fielder will be here for the long term. This plays right into fielder’s hands as his agent uses mark Teixeira as the example and secures the long term deal for Prince Fielder.
I do not want Prince Fielder on the 2015 San Francisco Giants.

Prince Fielder has one arbitration year next year, and is a free agent afterwards
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tBbouLF8jmXAKM3-UDTbAog&output=html
so 1.5 years, and next year gets very expensive. It is not an option year.
This is the reason why :
While sources say there’s been no appreciable progress in contract talks and no reasonable hope for a contract extension into his free-agent years (realistically, he’s probably just too expensive for Milwaukee), one competing GM opined, "I don’t think the trade market would be that great for Prince considering his salary.‘’ Teams just don’t want to give up big-time prospects for high-salaried players who aren’t staff aces, it seems.

let’s say Sanchez +prospects for Fielder, i think that’s reasonable and plausible. we can simply let him play out his arb yrs and take the first round picks when he walks. The real question is , what does MW want for Fielder.
2011. Not 2012. And his 2011 would come at market price, last arbitration year is market price, no discount.

K, 2011
1 year less and @ market price does make a dif. However, it depends what MW is askng for in return. I will take Fielder for that one year service if the price is not too steep. I feel that the collective MLB lemming execs tend to go overboard depends which way the prevailing wind blows. we have reached the another absurd extremes in which now NO ONE wants trade any "prospects’ for any proven talents. Yet prospects is what they are and unproven is what they are albeit at a ‘cost certainty.’
The point i guess i am trying to get is this, we can afford to pay 1.5 year of Fielder, if we can him on the cheap or at least reasonable price from MW. then we will do Billy Beane style ,, let him walk and garner the picks.
I am fine with Fielder. I am not fine with trading Wheeler (and the 2.4M we paid for his signing bonus) + Neal + Whatever else it takes for 1.5 years of fielder at market rate.
fyi, those picks might not be there. The rule is up for revision at the end of this season. Also, ask Toronto how it worked out letting AJ Burnette walk and getting a 3rd round pick.

Dude, Graham, i'm kidding
sorry bro, i’m just buzzed, and i’m not going anywhere tonight, just chillin having quite a few beers
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
thats probably what borkinator is doing right now while texting bengie.
"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."
Well you can take your borkinator and shove it
all i care about is winning, obviously the lineup that is being put out on the field is not producing, THAT IS THE PLAYERS’ ISSUE, not BORKS, so right now, the players are fucking up poorly
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?

It’s not bork, it’s what he’s provided with at this point for the most part.
"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, well when he puts Whiteside and Rowand (LEADING OFF!) in the lineup
he’s hurting the team. Just like he hurt the team with Bengie.
I like my beer cold ... my TV loud ... and my romosexuals flaming.--Homer Simpson
When our 7 and 8 hitters are hitting 1st and 2nd (rowand and renteria)
The team is being fucked over by bork, just like when bengshit was around hitting in the middle of the line up and being a black hole to the team this year.

RyRohl almost turned the most amazing double play to end the 11th, but pill dropped the ball. Ry just laid there on the infield for like 30 seconds. Manny had to, like, help him up and comfort him. I love that kind of passion and committment.

He didn’t play tonight. He was the DH last night.
Jesus Guzman was the DH and hit a homer. So did Matt Downs. Pretty sweet. You know who’s really good? Geno Espinelli. Great in relief. And, Alex Hinshaw threw and inning with 2 K’s and no hits.

is being a fan of the Giants, no matter what, being a fan from the early 90s is something i’ll always remember, getting Bill Mueller’s autograph, and Robb Nen’s… Just wanted to throw that out there, it happens with all facets of my life, girlfriend and all, i’m jealous of everone, it’s truly a curse

The karaoke was, by far, the best. B. Weez can wail. He also poured a drink for my friend and called her “m’lady” when he handed it to her. It was funny. Dallas Braden made one of us a drink, as did Ritchie Aurilia. It ruled.

perfect attitude, however, concerning me? A girl would feel very welcome in analyzing something, like what we do here? In any sport to be honest, i’m not necessarily meaning exact wording, but just in general, it’d bbe awesome. To really know a girl and also have her understand sports the way i do? that’s just the best girl right there.
I can’t say perfect, since there is no perfect. I wont even say my girlfriend is even perfect, there’s no such thing, but, i definitely think so concerning mine, it’s always and forever will be how YOU the individual perceive your girl
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Definitely. I know that it probably won’t happen, but you always gotta have hope, right?

Kind of. I don’t even know how he got so high on the list anyway.

But, the novelty has worn off.

I learned on Thursday that the English Department has no dress code and is very informal, so I don’t have to dress up to teach. Which is nice.
However, I’m thinking I should avoid, say, wearing my Public Enemy t-shirt that says, “FIGHT THE POWER” in huge letters. Because, in this situation, I’m the Power and I’d rather they not fight me.

I bet that’ll happen more and more. As teams wait for things to be finalized, the twitterverse will explode with the trade news.
That was basically it. Schulman said that Molina’s teammates started coming up and saying good-bye, and he was like, “why are you saying good-bye?” Pretty sad. Maybe Bengie needs a Twitter account.

Traditionally you don’t tell someone they are traded until it’s final… it might be problematic telling someone you’re going to trade them and then it doesn’t happen. The disgruntlement factor would be pretty high I imagine.
Information has just gotten too fast for things to work that way anymore apparently.

Olney tweets that there has been no recent discussion between the two teams about Fielder.

I don’t think so, Logan. Not unless Bengie gets dealt or benched. Otherwise, first base is for Posey, Panda and occasionally Huff. Also, Sabean will not give up what the Brewers want for Prince. They want J. Sanchez and Thomas Neal, according to a decent source in Milwaukee. That’s not going to happen.
