Post-game thread: Cain dominates, makes us forget that the Giants only scored three runs off the Diamondbacks
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 22, 2010 9:26 PM PDT

PrintThe difference between Matt Cain: innings-eating horse, and Matt Cain: top-o’-the-rotation starter is a plus changeup. That’s what turned Jason Schmidt into a Cy Young winner (non-’roids division), and tonight Cain had the plus changeup. Cain's fastball is hard to pick up and sneaky fast, and his breaking ball can be tight, but if he can consistently throw the changeup as well as he did tonight, that will be the thing that makes him. That’s an if, not a when, of course. But games like tonight’s make it easy to dream.
Also, credit to Bochy for getting Cain out of the game even though there was a shutout intact. The only reason to keep Cain in the game was for the accumulation of teeth-gritting gumption points. Not worth it. Sorry, Mr. Jenkins. Tonight, discretion was the better part of valor. Well done, Bochy. Well done.
More importantly, well done, Matt Cain. Not only did he pitch eight shutout innings, but he did so with a rookie catcher calling for gyroballs in every at-bat. That must have been distracting. I'll make smartass comments like that until every single person in the world admits that veteran catchers aren't magic just because they're veteran catchers. My work is cut out for me.

Somewhere in the minor leagues, Joe Paterson is pitching.
by imovermyhead on Jul 22, 2010 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions
Here's the thing though
Historically, MLB never calls up catchers this early. Before Wieters, the shortest minor league tenure I could find was something like 179 games for I-Rod. Even Bench went 250 or so. Buster played 125.
So is the conclusion “Buster is an exception-worthy talent” or “MLB has just been over-conservative for it’s entire history, and now we’ll see catchers called up faster all the time.”
(Please, no one post just “Yes.” That joke is no longer worthy.)

I’d lean more toward the latter, but there’s a heavy dollop of the former in there somewhere.
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 23, 2010 7:58 AM PDT up reply actions
The difference with Rodriguez and Bench is that neither played in college so they were a lot younger than Buster when they started playing professionally. The other thing is, it’s very hard to find a catcher drafted high out of college who hit as well as Buster in the minors.
I posted this in the offseason when we were discussing whether Buster should be the starter:
Since 1980 there have been 8 college catchers drafted in the top 10 picks of the first round:
1983 (8) Robbie Wine – never hit higher than .244 in the minors before being called up as a 23 year old.
1985 (1) BJ Surhoff – called up as a 22 year old, had a great rookie year, played 115 games caught 98.
1990 (7) Dan Wilson – struggled to hit his first 4 seasons in the minors.
1999 (3) Eric Munson – OPS of .879(A), .803(AA), .853(AA), .860(AAA) in the minors before getting a full time shot as a 25 year old. Had a nice season but never hit after that.
2005 (3) Jeff Clement – Hit well in 34 games in A ball his first year, struggled his 2nd season(AAA), did well his 3rd season (AAA) and mashed his 4th season (AAA). Hasn’t done anything in the pros.
2007 (5) Matt Wieters – called up after catching 120 games. Had a nice rookie season.
2008 (5) Buster Posey
2009 (4) Tony Sanchez
So over the last 30 years there have only been two players who were similar to Posey: Surhoff and Wieters. If I recall correctly Surhoff was not considered a strong defensive catcher.
WilRiv pointed out that Jason Castro should have been included in that list.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Huh?!?!?
“Matt Wieters – called up after catching 120 games. Had a nice rookie season.”
That’s why I hate looking superficially at the overall numbers (and I know I do that, but should know better). If you look at his overall numbers – .288/.340/.412/.753 – you think, yeah, that is a pretty nice rookie season, heckk, very nice.
But if you were his fantasy baseball owner, then you saw that he was a .265/.318/.366/.683 hitter until September 14th, was never that far from .700 OPS but usually under, which is not a very nice rookie season, at which point he is on a tremendous hot streak for two seeks to raise his OPS 70 points to his final season batting line.
So is it nice season when he was not that great a hitter for the first 4 months (roughly) of his career and superman for 2 weeks? I would have to say no.

Fun with splits!
From June 9th until the all-star break on July 8th he hit: .315/.375/.479/.854. That’s a whole month of really good hitting after only 8 games in the big leagues (his first game was on May 29th).
Then for the rest of July and August he had a .661 OPS.
Then for September and the 4 games in October he was awesome again: .882 OPS
So to recap, he was not terrible for 4 months and then good for two weeks. He was bad for a week. Then really good for a month. Then not very good for a month and a half. Then Awesome for a 5 weeks. So you’re wrong and the whole argument is beside the point anyway.

Greenwald will be joined by former Giants first baseman J.T. Snow, a special assistant in the front office who has provided occasional color commentary.

But what if the Giants are 2 behind the Rockies with 3 to play. They can’t win the Wild Card. Giants are facing (doesn’t matter). LA is facing the Rockies. The only way the Giants make the playoffs is if they win and the Rockies lose. You would still root against the Dodgers?

We have seen what lives in the bottom half of the NL East and Central in 2010. If a #2 team in either division does not have 89 or more wins with the bulk of their last month’s being against those squads it will be minor miracle and all of them should be moved to the ’05 NL West tell farther notice.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Inner one
I know you’re joking, but for anyone to beat out the Babe in many hearts and minds there is no way around having to have a distinguished two way (pitching and hitting) career.
Let Buster close! He can pitch to himself, like the Flash!

Posey has 37 hits in the last 30 days
The only people in the majors with more are josh hamilton with 39 and rafael furcal with 40. That is a fucking amazing stat, he might have the most multi hit games of any giant this year lol.

KDL: Baggs answered the DeRosa question
Mark DeRosa met the team in Arizona and I talked with him after batting practice. It’s his first time around the guys since his July 1 wrist surgery. He’d been resting at his home near Atlanta.
DeRosa is out for the season, as you know. But he’s very encouraged at how the surgery went and he’s confident he will be in position to make a full recovery for a productive 2011.
"I’m really, really pleased," he said. "It’s fixed. Now I can actually start working to get healthy."
The surgery was complicated. It took almost 2 ½ hours of reconstructive work. Dr. Thomas Graham removed part of DeRosa’s ligament from elsewhere in his forearm and used it to wrap around his flopping tendon. The way DeRosa described it, it was almost like a cat’s cradle, shoelace kind of thing.
DeRosa also had his carpal tunnel released to alleviate nerve compression. That seemed to do the trick, because two weeks into recovery, he regained total sensation in the previously numb areas of his hand. That’s probably the best sign of all.
Yes, it should be mentioned that DeRosa will be 36 on opening day next year and he’ll be going on almost two years since his wrist troubles began. So a pragmatist would say the odds are against him ever resembling the player the Giants envisioned. But for now, he’s relieved that the time for tests, questions and treatment decisions has passed. He has a goal in front of him, with nothing else in the way.

Possibly, though . . .
. . . the time off will, so to speak, “re-charge” him. He’s not going to turn into the equivalent of a 27-year-old, but at 36 he might play like a 33-year-old, which isn’t bad. But we shall have to wait and see.

Sabes loves injured players! Dejesus is as good as ours!
In case you missed it, Kansas City outfielder David DeJesus, one of the names atop the Giants’ trade list, sustained a severely sprained right thumb while crashing into the outfield wall. He’s expected to miss the remainder of the Royals’ weekend series – and perhaps more. The Royals sent him to see a hand specialist in Cleveland. That’s where DeRosa’s doctor is based, but I’m not sure if it’s the same guy.

Schmidt
That’s what turned Jason Schmidt into a Cy Young winner (non-’roids division)
Hate to say it, not so sure about that.
His history, in five parts : (1) he was El Righty Malo, (2) then he got traded to a team with I Am Benito, Marvelous Marvin’ B, Armando “Her Name Is” Rios, and what’s-his-name, that left fielder guy, and (3) turned awesome. Then, (4) MLB started cracking down on roids, and (5) that same day, Schmidt’s arm, shoulder blade, groin, ankle, and ear simultaneously fell off.
As much as I loved the guy while he was with us, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was having a li’l of ye olde “cream” and “clear” off of the post-game buffet. He’s up there with Luis Gonzales and Bret Boone on my list of “suspected, but never proven/admitted.”

He still should have won the Cy Young. He was beaten by a stinkin’ reliever!

Also, looking over the NL pitcher VORP list for 2003, I notice that:
- Livan “Conditioner” Hernandez is fourth, and Russ Ortiz is twenty seventh
- My least favorite bum of all time (Gagme) is no higher than fourteenth
- He isn’t even the highest ranking bum reliever on the list
- That honor goes to G Mota, who might soon be joined in our pen by the guy at fifteenth, right below Gagme, i.e. Dontrelle
- Prior at #2, Wood at #5 – man, I’d support the people of Chicago in a class action lawsuit against the toothpick

Still not buying Gerald to call games
Especially after the reverse Eephus pitch that he told Lincecum to throw…seriously…two-time and reigning Cy Young award winner and a reverse eephus pitch? Bengie would have never done something like that…
Somewhat if Gerald has a 15 game hitting streak…Dimaggio had a 56 game streak…you see him catching…

Gary radnich should be killed
Comes on this morning and instantly starts sucking a-rod and saying he’s gonna be heralded as the greatest player of all time in 10 years. Why don’t you go work in new york or something and touch yourself to thoughts of jeter and afraud? What a disgrace, it would be nice if there was intelligent non moron sports talk hosts on 680.
"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."
In 10 years, A-Rod will have a very strong case for top 10 player of all time and there could be arguments for top 5.

I guess I'm the only one who notices him
As no one bothered to mention that we’ve actually had another starting pitcher on our team learn a plus changeup since Schmidt, who has found great success with it, it is his best pitch since he started using it, and people might not notice him because he’s relatively short and looks like the bat boy when standing next to Cainer, but his name is Tim Lincecum, maybe you’ve heard of him? :^)
Given the efficacy of the change-up, I hope that’s the first thing the Giants instructors do with their pitching prospects, teach them the change-up and see if he can learn to master it. Glad Cainer is finally figuring it out, that would make our rotation even better in the playoffs, with short series demanding you have great pitchers to shut down the opposition.

Mr. 1-0 & 28/30
D. Sanchez pitched a fine game during his 5 inning stint but it was Mr. 1-0, formerly Mr. 2-0, with his 1/3rd of an inning in the 6th who got the W tonight while Brian Wilson continued his dominance by getting his 28th save in 30 chances with another impeccable relief performance. There are still 65 games left so don’t rule out 50 saves and the way he’s been going, and don’t expect it to end anytime soon, the odds are in his favor. Aubrey Huff supplied the punch once again with 2 homers and 3 rbi and pushed his average even further above .300. Great signing! The Giants are climbing in high gear and it looks like the break did them a lot of good. They’re playing up to their capabilities now.
