Post-game thread: Anibal Sanchez one-hits Giants

So, so dirty.

See, that's the problem with winning baseball. When a pitcher shuts your team down, you can't fall back on snarky jokes. You can't assume that Anibal Sanchez was just lucky to face the Giants instead of a major league team. The Giants have held their own against Josh Johnson, Clayton Kershaw, and Johan Santana over the last couple of weeks. So when Anibal Sanchez absolutely dominates the Giants -- one hit! -- the only responsible thing to do is to praise his performance.

The urge to complain about the Rowand/Renteria/Pitcher bottom of the order? Save it. The itch to chew out the entire lineup for mad flailing? Don't scratch it here. The familiar feeling of nausea that started around 2005? Quash it. Grit your teeth and remember that the Giants have won 13 of their last 17. Sometimes good teams get shut down by great pitching performances. And if you think I'm comparing the 2010 Giants to the '27 Yankees, you're wrong; Lou Gehrig couldn't play catcher.

Good teams also lose. Good teams...also lose. That's the problem with winning baseball. So if this game sends the Giants on a crazy, frustrating losing skid. I'll come back and retroactively edit this post to fill it with bile, invective, and naughty words. I promise.

Also, let's make a pact to not talk about hitting streaks until they're at, like, 30. It was fun while it lasted, but I thought the hubbub was a little premature.

A day after raking inferior pitching,

the Giants get snuffed out by a good young arm. We should give Sanchez his due, but a one-hitter?

Neither the Tejada move nor the Posednik move make Giants’ competition markedly better, yet we should all be afraid of what Sabean might do over the next 24-36 hours.

Probably because both were already out of the limelight and past what most considered to be their “prime.” A-Rod’s still a very active, top player (this year maybe the exception). Also, he plays for New York, so, of course it’s going to get more attention than Griffey playing for a losing Reds’ team and Sosa for a losing Rangers.

So did you just answer your own question?

No one cared about Sosa or Griffey because they were old and the steroids era made 600 seem meh. AROD is young enough to take down the record and 600 is the first milestone. 650, 675, 700, record will follow and will you still be asking this question then? And yes, he is a Yankee and people watch then nationally.

I agree with your statement about the padres one run lead in the 5th feeling like a 3 run lead in the 9th. Regardless how small the lead is it never feels like the padres are gonna lose and if they are behind they eventually will come back if its a save situation.

Although jose bautista is a massive flash in the pan and corey hart without the good average.

There is somewhat significant evidence that, while Hart is having something of a fluke year, Bautista may be on an upward trajectory.

Consider, for instance, that Cory Hart’s career year is driven by a BABIP above his career average: .318 this year compared to .308 career.

Bautista, on the other hand, is having a MASSIVE BABIP slump: .243 this year compared to .275 career.

Consider further that Bautista has always been good at walking, his career BB% is 11.3.

Bautista’s recent surge is essentially drive by one thing: Power. And power is something that, while it doesn’t happen all that often, a player can legitimately develop later in a career and sustain for more than a couple seasons.

I’ve been on the Bautista bandwagon since about late June. At some point, dude is no longer a fluke. He’s steadily improved the last 2 years, and while his home split massively outshines his road split, he has a sOPS+ of 130 on the road.

Toronto’s issue will be paying his arbitration next year after this breakout season.

Consider that . . .

. . . over his career, his H/PA is .209 and this year it’s .217—he is over career expectations in hits. Consider also that his career power factor—a metric that doesn’t change much—is 1.786 including this year, and his this-year power factor is 2.283. His career walks rate, another normally stable metric, is 11.4% but his 2010 is .134%.

My take is a man wildly overperforming what is otherwise a rather insipid (to put it genteely) career. Result: DO NOT WANT.

One thing he keeps repeating really makes me go wtf

He keeps talking about himself as the best pitcher never to be drafted, and that he wasn’t given a chance.

There are 50 rounds. FIFTY. That’s not even including international free agents. Plus supplimentals. That means over 1500 players are drafted every year.

He was in the draft and follow years too, that mean he has 2 more shots than normal. 5 different years he could have been drafted.

There were 7500 selections made in the 5 years he was eligible. Nobody. Not a single club wanted to waste a pick on him? Boy that just means he is no good at all.
