Post-game thread: Giants coast to easy victory

PrintBeauty. Pure, unfiltered beauty.
Bruce Bochy gets exactly one get-out-of-being-belittled-for-a-stupid-decision card. They don’t come around often, but here you go, skip. Heck, take two. I didn’t think Bochy had the Billy Martin-sized combo of brains and huevos to go out and call Don Mattingly on a technicality. But Bochy found a way to take away the opponent’s morbidly obese rook by pointing out that the king didn’t castle properly. Or something. Awesome.
The game started like it usually does -- with one of the Giants’ great young pitchers messing himself on the Dodger Stadium mound. The Dodgers had five runs, and it was time for the Giants to roll over and quietly drift off. Except they didn’t. They started winging Dodgers with fastballs. The Dodgers didn’t like that. Words were exchanged. The rivalry was alive.
Then the Giants started hitting. Did you know that the Giants have scored more runs in July than any other team in the majors? Offensive juggernaut. It would be irresponsible to say that it’s all because of Posey, so I’ll just write this: It’s all because of Posey.
Oh, and Andres Torres is fantastic again. The Pablo of yore is the Pablo of now. Welcome back. Edgar Renteria had a great at-bat in the ninth. Aaron Rowand laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt, which had to be his first bunt in a few years. Everything worked tonight. Beauty. Pure, unfiltered beauty.
There’s magic inside. And a little alchemy. Maybe some dark arts. And a big, fat, dusty law book that no one pays attention to except for the slow-moving guy behind the desk. It’s like we just watched Charlie Brown pull the ball away from Lucy. How did the bad things tonight not happen to the Giants? So, so satisfying.

sure
Scouts wear strawhats. They have a reputation, deserved or no, for evaluating players with their eyes and with silly stats like RBI (ribeyes) instead of useful stats like WAR and wOBA and OPS.
So people like this thought Molina was better than Posey because of RBI totals, but now Posey has surpassed Molina in that stat as well. So, the strawhats can no longer claim ribeyes to show Molina is better than Posey.
Therefore, Monkey D. Luffy. He wears a straw hat, and is the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates in the manga/anime series “One Piece”.

I was having a conversation with a guy from the Brown chapter, who casually mentioned that one of the other brothers, a close friend of his, had dated Emma Watson for a while. And had let slip the fact that Emma likes it dirty. And anally.

Yeah, but even though Bochy was technically correct, I’d bet if the umpire told Bochy to go sit down and shut up, nobody would have made much of an (effectual) stink about it. The Giants would have complained for awhile, but the baseball world would have responded by saying, oh he barely stepped off, who cares.

And the only way a protest is upheld is if there is a misinterpretation of a rule, not just a bad call. So the umps couldn’t have just missed Mattingly step off the mound, they would’ve had to rule that he did step off, but that Broxton could stay in anway.

I’m going to view last night’s result as the karmic payback for the robbery that occurred on Sunday vs. the Mets. I know it’s not the same thing and that, technically, the correct call occurred last night, thanks to Boch keeping his eye on Mattingly’s visit(s) to the mound and calling shenanigans. But thinking of it as the Giants “getting one back,” so to speak, is better for my suffering Giants fan psyche.
I don’t get the sense that the home plate ump was going to do anything until Boch pushed the issue. Good job lowering the boom, Boch.

What happened does not seem to match the official rules of MLB:
8.06 A professional league shall adopt the following rule pertaining to the visit of the manager or coach to the pitcher:
(a) This rule limits the number of trips a manager or coach may make to any one pitcher in any one inning;
(b) A second trip to the same pitcher in the same inning will cause this pitcher’s automatic removal;
© The manager or coach is prohibited from making a second visit to the mound while the same batter is at bat, but
(d) if a pinch-hitter is substituted for this batter, the manager or coach may make a second visit to the mound, but must remove the pitcher.
A manager or coach is considered to have concluded his visit to the mound when he leaves the 18-foot circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber.
Then there is this:
In a case where a manager has made his first trip to the mound and then returns the second time to the mound in the same inning with the same pitcher in the game and the same batter at bat, after being warned by the umpire that he cannot return to the mound, the manager shall be removed from the game and the pitcher required to pitch to the batter until he is retired or gets on base. After the batter is retired, or becomes a base runner, then this pitcher must be removed from the game. The manager should be notified that his pitcher will be removed from the game after he pitches to one hitter, so he can have a substitute pitcher warmed up.
The substitute pitcher will be allowed eight preparatory pitches or more if in the umpire’s judgment circumstances justify.

Seems to fit rule B perfectly
VISITS TO THE MOUND BY A Manager or coach are covered under rule 8.06 in the Official Baseball Rules and section 7.12 in the Major League Baseball Umpire Manual. A trip to the mound begins when a manager or coach crosses the foul line. It ends when the manager or coach leaves the 18-foot circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber.

It doesn’t fit with C:
The manager or coach is prohibited from making a second visit to the mound while the same batter is at bat
and
In a case where a manager has made his first trip to the mound and then returns the second time to the mound in the same inning with the same pitcher in the game and the same batter at bat, after being warned by the umpire that he cannot return to the mound, the manager shall be removed from the game and the pitcher required to pitch to the batter until he is retired or gets on base. After the batter is retired, or becomes a base runner, then this pitcher must be removed from the game. The manager should be notified that his pitcher will be removed from the game after he pitches to one hitter, so he can have a substitute pitcher warmed up.
He didn’t visit with the same batter at bat because the at bat hadn’t started. It did meet the requirements for B, automatically removing Broxton from the game.
by paboperfecto on Jul 20, 2010 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Of course he did
No substitution was done between the time of the first visit and the second.
No, the AB hadn’t started yet, so it was between AB’s — no hitter was at the plate. The situation you’re talking about happened once in a Cardinals game with Willie McGee at the plate — I saw something about it on TWIB when I was kid. Each visit happened after the 1st pitch to McGee, and before he was retired or reached base (I can’t remember which). As you stated, the pitcher was forced to pitch to McGee, then was removed by rule. I don’t remember the manager being ejected, but I guess he probably was.
Also, I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this (haven’t read all the comments), but on the Dodger broadcast, Vin Scully said the Dodgers had the exact same thing happen four years ago when Grady Little got caught — also by Bochy, then the Padres manager.

You may be right, but I'm still not so sure.
Would the situation be different if the visit was when Andres T. had entered the batter’s box with Broxton on the rubber but before a pitch was thrown? Can a manager visit before the batter is pitched to and then remove the pitcher before the AB is completed?
You can spend your life learning all of baseball’s strange rules and then see something you’ve never seen before.
an AB officially begins when the batter is announced on the public address system
Sounds bizarre, but that is the rule.
There has to be a defining moment, and it is the PA announcement.
That is why, for example, managers wait to change pitchers until the pinch hitter is announced.

Actually, looks like I was right
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FCI/is_10_65/ai_n27050461/
The AB starts as soon as the preceding batter is put out or becomes a base-runner. The last time Bochy pulled this on the Dodgers as the Padres manager, the pitcher at the time Penny was required to pitch to the batter (Bard) and then had to leave the game. Little was also ejected.
Does anybody know if the Dogs protested the game?

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
FYI on Rowand
According to Baggs Twitter, his first sacrifice in 3 years. So our useless gritty gamer can’t do the little things either. ;)

Even though Timmy wasn’t his best and we were down 5-1, I knew that our offense would pick him up and win the game for us, which is exactly what happened. Maybe its because we’ve been scoring some runs lately?

So, for most of the game I was out at dinner somewhere in Old Town, San Diego. I was walking around the gift shop, when I heard some guy and his dad talk about baseball. The guy was like, “Kershaw is going up against Tim Lincecum tonight, so we’ll be able to see him next week when he comes here. He’s beating Lincecum too, so everything’s great.” (The score was 5-1 at the time).
It makes me so happy that his plans are ruined. So happy.

His smirk and “I don’t’ know” was in response to being asked whether or not he thought Kemp was going to charge after him. Timmy probably did it on purpose, but he’s smart enough to give the standard “the ball got away from me” when asked about it.

Just got home (not from the game itself though)
Was at a friend’s birthday dinner at Tee Off, which wasn’t showing the game on the TV I was facing.
Dinner ended, and I walked up to the 38 stop, and started listening to the game on MLB At-Bat, and was wearing a shit-eating grin listening to Mattingly’s cockup. After Arguello, I decided I had to watch the end of the game, so I hopped off at Collins and ran up to the Pig & Whistle, ordered a Big Daddy from Jeni, and cheered along with the handful of others in the bar, all of whom were watching. Then, the 40 minte walk home, listening to the postgame show also on At-Bat, then catching the end of the wrap at home.
One of my best baseball stories ever, and I missed 93% of the game.

So I was sporting my colors in a Santa Barbara bar, where the game was playing with no sound.
What the hell happened in the ninth? Mattingly crossed a line and Broxton was pulled, but nobody noticed except Bochy?
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
He left the mound and then turned back to talk to Broxton again, which is against the rules. Counts as a second visit. Broxton has to come out.

The Giants:
1. Buzzed their guy

The Dodgers:
1. Drill one of our guys.
…
Ejection of pitcher (who was shutting the G’s down) and of Torre, leading to the inexperienced Mattingly screw up of the mound visit and the subsequent removal of Broxton.
The Giants had all of the fun and the Dodgers paid for it all.
Well, it was painfully obvious it was intentional. They pulled Anderson from the on deck circle when Bautista almost hit whoever, and replaced him with Kershaw, and had Kuo warming up.
If you’re talking about Broxton shutting the G’s down, the bases were loaded with 1 out.

The umps should have used common sense and told Bochy to go fuck himself.
The rule above says the visit starts when the manager crosses the foul line, he never crossed the foul line twice, so they could have ruled however they felt, plus, that was not the intent of the rule, the umps are fucking morons for not telling Bochy he is a fucking dickhead idiot, shutup and sit the fuck down.

FP blabbers, in a different way than Bip, but just as annoying
Bip says a lot of nothing and he says it real fast, so you don’t have to listen. But FP insists that what he has to say is important, so he says it over and over and is just real obnoxious and whiney about it.

I've hated Bip ever since he filled in for Kruk last year
He couldn’t open his mouth without using nonsense terms like “win the inning” and “low-flyin’”.

Bip is a dream compared to FP and Gary
Plus his “win the inning” was and still is hilarious!
It did give us never ending jokes

I think Bip is good post-game
but when he fills in as a color commentator is another story.
He's an idiot

BOCHY OF MISERY
I’m The Bochy of misery, let’s take it from the top
Got a head like Basketball that’s ticking like a clock
It’s a matter of time before this game runs out…
When I Andre was mine, she caught Tim by the mouth
I waited eight long inn;s
He finally set him free
I told him I couldn’t lie, I saw him turn back on the mound
Two pitches and we had caught on fire
They’ve got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa… Well I never meant to brag
But I got em where I want him now
Whoa… it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
’Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
’Cause God it just feels so…
It just feels so good
When this .sig was awaiting the Final Sabean Apocalypse, I never once in a million years suspected it would be a "good" Apocalypse. Bengie... Don't let the door hit you IN YOUR GIANT ASS on the way out!

Since Torre obviously conspired with Kershaw, he may also get suspended. He should.

What is wrong with baseball is, if Kershaw appeals, he gets to play until the appeal is heard. (Torre would serve the suspension without appeal)

I actually think the umpires got it wrong. I posted the rules that apply earlier in this thread. Basically, the manager cannot visit the pitcher a second time on the same batter. If he does after the umpire warns him, then the manager is supposed to be thrown out of the game and the pitcher is required to finish pitching to that batter and then the pitcher must be removed.
there was no batter yet
a different rules section applies
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FCI/is_10_65/ai_n27050461/
Looks like last time Bochy pulled this the rule was applied as I thought it should have been this time.
The rules say that that only applies if there is a pinch-hitter, obviously Torres was not a pinch hitter.

Reading further....
It appears people think the umpires MAY have made a judgement call that the warning wasn’t soon enough or enough to constitute an official warning. They may not have wanted to have to eject the manager.
The intent of that part of the rule is to keep managers from getting their pitcher thrown out of the game before they have faced a batter (you bring in a pitcher, I put in a pinch hitter you HAVE to let him pitch to one batter). Since Mattingly wasn’t trying to get Broxton thrown out they may have defaulted to the first case.

Buster's first at-bat tomorrow
First pitch: fastball in the hip.
Posey drops his gear, walks slowly to the mound, tells the umpire and catcher to stay put.
He asks the pitcher: Do you know what you did?
The pitcher drops his eyes and sullenly nods.
Buster says: Good now look me in the eye.
The pitcher slowly meets his eyes.
With one swift motion Buster punches him in the jaw, knocking him on his butt.
He announces to the umpire, players and crowd: That’s that.
He takes his base.
Not another batter is struck.

Rockies won't sign their first round pick it seems
In a stunning turn of events, Kyle Parker has informed the Clemson staff that he will return to play football this fall as first reported by TheClemsonInsider.com.
One of the main reasons the Rockies drafted Kyle Parker with the 26th pick in the first round was because of his character. Unfortunately for the Rockies, that character showed Tuesday night as Kyle stuck to his word and the deadline and decided to return to Clemson to play football this fall.
The Colorado Rockies did not meet the demands of the Parker family for Kyle to play baseball exclusively and the Parkers kept to the July 20th deadline.
Kyle will now return to Clemson in early August to try to lead the Tigers back to the ACC Championship game. Negotiations will continue on whether Kyle will sign with the Rockies to play baseball while playing football for the Tigers.

Late to the party, but . . .
The non-humorous takeaway here was that, left to themselves, the umps would have once again severely screwed the Giants. One, homeplate ump was shouting at Mattingly to warn him—all by itself a gross no-no—then two, he (and probably the others) would have ignored the incident even though well aware of what had happened, and three, they almost did anyway even after Bochy objected till he told them he would play under protest, which would have meant that their asses would have been in a meat grinder when the videos were reviewed.

One, I don’t the a hold is even an official stat.
Two, even if it was it is credited like “save” late in the game, meaning that the losing or winning pitcher cannot be credited with a hold or a save.

Normally I’d be with you. I mean, it’s not like the ump is going to tell a runner “hey, you missed third base.”
But, Don Mattingly is the third string manager, and a fairly well-liked and well-respected guy. I don’t know that I can get too pissed off about him getting cut a bit of slack.

Yes!
Or they’re aiding one side/working against the other.
And there’s the conspiracy theory meat again.
Is this Bonds retribution?
Is Bud chuckling and pulling strings in some rathole somewhere?
Schulman:
" A final and general thought on Bochy. I know a lot of fans were thinking, “Man, the guy is not a very smart manager, but he pulled one out tonight.”
I know I get criticized for being a sycophant, but I’ve spent 3 1/2 years listening to the man talk ball, much of it just chatting once his press conferences are over. He absolutely knows his stuff. I have a good frame of reference. I’ve covered Roger Craig, Dusty Baker, Felipe Alou and Tony La Russa.
Does Bochy have a blind spot for older, veteran players at the expense of younger guys? Does he get stubborn sometimes and not bunt when he should? Yes on both counts. We saw the veteran-rookie thing in San Diego and we’re seeing it here.
But the guy knows strategy, and some of the personnel decisions are done jointly with general manager Brian Sabean. Look, this is a team that on any given night employs three or four starters who would be bench guys on most first-place teams. He tries mix and match to put guys in the best situation to succeed.
Bochy sat Schierholtz and Ishikawa tonight after they had good games Monday. Kershaw is very tough on lefties. He thought Edgar Renteria and Aaron Rowand had a better shot to hit Kershaw. Renteria drove in the Giants’ first run with a hard grounder up the middle and later hit a two-out rocket to right that would have produced the tying run had he hit it 3 feet left or right. Rowand again struggled at the plate.
It’s easy to say, “Rowand and Renteria should NEVER play,” but you know that’s not going to happen and I know that’s not going to happen, and I can give you a total of 21 million reasons why. The best Bochy can do is try to pick his spots for them."

I lawled.
It’s like he was talking directly to McCoven cognoscenti.

Huh? He still bunts too much. He did it yesterday, when Rowand got hit. It’s the 7th, you need 2 runs to win the game. I wouldn’t have bunted, and I goddamn sure wouldn’t have burned a bench player (even a Velez) to bunt.
The bunt in the 9th by Rowand was allowable. Especially if you assume the next guy will get IBB to load the bases
When this .sig was awaiting the Final Sabean Apocalypse, I never once in a million years suspected it would be a "good" Apocalypse. Bengie... Don't let the door hit you IN YOUR GIANT ASS on the way out!

PARPG- Indy post-apocalyptic roleplaying game totally stalled and basically dead at this point
Love the quotes from Mattingly...Rhode Scholar
“I turned to walk away, and James said something and I just kind of turned around. He asked me the depth that I wanted him, didn’t even realize that I was off the dirt, and obviously I was.
“I kind of had a little bit of a feeling, because Adrian (Johnson) was yelling, ‘No no no, you can’t go back!’ as I turned to talk to James, so I had a little bit of a feeling at that point.
“I’m aware of the rule, but again felt I had just kind of turned and turned back around, but obviously I guess I didn’t.
“That’s what I asked (crew chief) Tim McClelland. I said, ‘Can he warm up?’ He said, ‘Yeah, I won’t do that to him. I’m not gonna take a chance on letting a guy get hurt. So at that point (I’m) talking to (pitching coach Rick Honeycutt), not realizing how many throws he’s getting.
“I’m not quite sure of (why they cut Sherrill off at eight warmup tosses). Again, Honey and I talked, and pretty much turned around and George is ready to go, so I figure he’s ready to go. At that point I didn’t realize they cut him off at eight.”
But wait, there's more!
According to the Neyer blog entry, the correct ruling was supposed to be “Toss Torre, but make Broxton face Torres.” This stems from the need to prevent people from overcoming the rule that makes a pitcher face at least one batter by visiting the mound twice.

I think Neyer is off of this one
Broxton was already in the game so the rule would not apply…it is meant to prevent a manager from bringing in another pitcher before pitching to a hitter.
the rule is pretty clear
but the comments on the rules make it more confusing and ambiguous.

Not sure if this was announced last night, but I’m hearing the Dodgers are calling up LHP Jack Taschner today.
I actually liked Tasch
and pissed we didn’t get more for him!

Listened to the last three innings on the radio last night and was wondering as it happened just how much MCC was blowing up.
I wasn’t expecting the Emma Watson angle, though.
"I could hear the angry MCC cacophany in my head."--Oldjacket, 7/4/10
I can't believe I'm saying this...
But I give some props to Mattingly for manning up and taking the blame for this one…
It would’ve been really easy for him to bitch and moan (like the rest of the whiny bitches), but he acknowledged that he fucked up. Hell, he even let the umps off the hook. Watch the replay… Casey Blake is whining like the umps just ran over his dog.
My 17-year old son was saying “Look at Casey Blake, what a little bitch!” I was so proud.

Speaking of Twitter...
You should make a ‘list’ of mccoven on twitter. I would do it myself, but lists are linked to the account which creates them, so it’d probably be better if the list was made from the official McC account.
If you’re lazy, I’d be happy to handle it, but that would require giving me the password to the mcc account, and frankly, I wouldn’t trust me either.

That was great, but my enthusiasm was tempered by two things… my roommates asked me if I wanted to go with them and I turned them down to go to Speakeasy, so I was kinda pissed I missed it. Not only that, but the T was going super slow so I was sitting across from the ballpark for like 10 minutes watching people file into the park from the train. And when I found out, I was at Lucky 13 which was having a memorial of sorts for a regular who had passed away, so my excitement about a baseball game quickly got me some dirty looks.

Not sure if this was mentioned in the last GDT from last night...
Just before the last pitch of the game to Andre Ethier, Posey came out to the mound to talk with Affeldt about what to throw, and then (according to Jon Miller’s radio call), Affeldt took a little off his fastball (88 MPH?) to get the strikeout.
Who knows whether Posey called that pitch or not, but that was a big moment. The kid’s got some serious poise.

Rob, Posey isn’t the reason you’re bullish on the Giants?
Rob Neyer (12:59 PM)
Well, sure. He’s probably the biggest. But I really appreciate management’s mid-course correction, getting Posey behind the plate but also going with some platoons at first base and in the outfield.
I have to say I agree with him on this one.

#SFGiants Rumors: Morosi of FOX Sports reports the Giants are still interested in Hart, DeJesus and are also interested in Dunn and Cantu
I don’t know. I don’t want Hart, i’m afraid of giving up too much for Dunn, especially since he’s such a terrible defender, and I don’t want Cantu.

Why?
Career/Avg year stats for Burrell:

Dunn
40 Homers 98 RBI AVG .252 .OBP 383 SLG .523 OBS .906
Dunn is better but not worth the price that Washington would porbably want
OBS SIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!
But 10 homers is a lot.
And Dunn is 3 years younger and hasn’t fallen off a cliff.

Well, like I said upthread before this rumor was posted:
It’s a good thing I’m not a GM. Save the rotation + Wilson, Huff, Posey, Sandoval, Uribe and Torres, I would probably trade anybody to get Adam Dunn and then sign him to an extension.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t like him in our ballpark. Our park isn’t super pitcher friendly because of the gaps, but it’s definitely not favorable for lefties and homeruns.
He’s also one of, if not the worst defender in baseball.
And this has the making of Sabean getting worked in a trade for Dunn, especially by a superior GM. If anything make the play for the rental in Werth, a superior player.
This is bullshit and I hear it way too much
but it’s definitely not favorable for lefties and homeruns.
Yeah, maybe not for Jonny Damon who hits his HRs like 2 inches over the wall. But Adam Dunn hits his like 450 feet. Pretty sure that’s out in any ballpark. He usually hits no-doubters, and I seriously doubt he would have a problem at ATT.

I never got that. And like Verizon would handle it any better? The only reason Verizon is better is because of coverage. You give them a phone that sells 2 million in a week and their network would be fucked too.

yes, they absofuckinglutely are
give me the upside for apple in making a VZ phone? For one thing it’s locked to one country, Verizon NEVER lets people have the control apple would want, and apple wants their phones to be worldwide. They don’t want to differentiate between the “north american” version and a different one.
They’re already selling millions of phones, it’s not like THEY need verizon. It’s the other way around, and since verizon turned them down to begin with I’m guessing Apple isn’t too keen on throwing those fucking idiots a bone now.

Dunno about the droid x. I’ve never seen one. I’ve been more than happy with my Nexus One but I’m moving out of T-Mobile territory so I’m going to have to choose ATT or Verizon. Actually…doesn’t ATT use sim cards? I wonder if I could just get my phone flashed so I don’t have to sell it.
Anyway my point was that there are and will be plenty of other phones Verizon can sell that have just as good hardware. Android was just an example I used.

not really
it’s a good phone. and apparently pretty popular, as it’s currently sold out.

Seriously, if you trade either of them for Hart, you’re significantly downgrading the rotation. How does that help? The Giants aren’t going to improve if they have to gut another part of their team to do it.

Well they built in underneath my dog’s house, so my dad tied a rope to the doghouse, then I stood inside my house and used the rope to pull the doghouse over, while me dad stood on the porch. Man, he got out of there quick. They were slamming into the windows. That’s the biggest nest ive ever seen. Must be two feet in diameter, no joke. There’s about a thousand wasps out there.

they sell poison that shoots pretty far – I think you just douse the nest from a distance and run for it. Can’t be good for the environment.
I know a guy that had a wasp nest in the bushes right by his front door… he didn’t do anything, no one got stung and the wasps abandoned it that winter. It was a little scary ringing the doorbell, but nothing ever happened.
