Giants/Dodgers Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 30, 2010 1:28 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe Dodgers don't "feel comfortable" here, and that’s not why they’ve had recent success in San Francisco. The Dodgers have some sort of ability to psyche out the Giants. The Dodgers have been able to get two-out hits that the Giants haven’t. There’s no secret formula to it. When Casey Blake hits his home run, it’s with a runner on and two outs. When Pat Burrell hits his, it’s with no one on and four-run deficit. There’s no theme. There’s nothing especially predictive to be found from the previous series, just as there isn’t from the series the Giants just took in Los Angeles.
If I really believed that, it wouldn’t explain why I’ve chewed my nails down to the cuticles thinking about this series. I don’t exactly have Kevin Elster vibes, but I don’t not have Kevin Elster vibes. In the past, I’d probably think that the last home series against the Dodgers was our Han-in-carbonite moment. It was our darkest moment. All hope seemed lost. But then I’d hope for the heroes to rally and defeat the orcs or ninjas or aliens or Russell Martins. That’s the traditional paradigm. We’re inherently good, they’re inherently evil. If movies are our guide, we should triumph sometime in the third act.
Except I’ve been a naive little twit all of these years. This isn’t a George Lucas film, here. This isn’t a Frank Capra feel-good flick. We’re living through Oscar-bait, and the paralyzed boxer will die. We’re living through a nihilistic nightmare, and we’re going to find the head of the detective’s wife in a box. We’re in a slasher flick, and nothing will be resolved because they’ve already started filming the sequel. This is everything but a by-the-numbers, uplifting romp. The Giants could win three, or they could lose three. They could win two, but lose one in such a horrific fashion that the series would end with Tommy Lee Jones talking about a dream he had, and we’d be all, wait, how should we feel right now? What did that all mean?
Actually, if Pablo could grow a beard, he’d look a little like an Ewok. So there’s that.
You know, to be honest, I don’t know about all this. Now I’m kind of wary about tying this whole thing into Hollywood. That place sucks.
Hitter to watch:
Alright, wait, if this were a feel-good film, it would probably end with Buster Posey doing something awesome. Like, he’d score the winning run by knocking the ball out of Russell Martin’s glove, and he’d stand over Martin right before the Giants rushed the field, and he’d say something like "You’ve been...Busted." Or he’d throw out both of the runners attempting a double steal, and then say, "Crime just doesn’t pay fellas" with a calm half-smirk. Or he’d gun someone down and say "I ain’t having it...I ain’t having it" as he looked disgusted that he had to play with all of these ridiculous mortals.
Yeah. Something like that. Posey is always the hitter (and fielder) to watch. He’s so handsome. Wait, did I type that or just think it? I meant to type he’s "exciting" not "handsome." It’s kind of funny how that typo turned out, right? Hahaha. Heh. Ahem.
Keeping with tradition, though, I’ll pick an opposing player. Let’s go with Scott Podsednik. Because there’s no way that some slap-monkey with speed is going to drive the Giants up the wall by stealing bases and bunting for base hits and prolonging an inning by 15 minutes just because he was able to flip a ball to right field on accident, right? That’s just not logical. So let’s all watch him do none of those things, as the Giants just have great success with guys like that.
Pitcher to watch:
George Sherrill. Please? Please, Joe Torre? Can we watch George Sherrill? Can we? Man, I’m hoping to watch him in three straight games. Now that guy is a pitcher to watch!
Prediction:
Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea.

It’s either that or Mt Dew as my afternoon fizzy beverage of choice. And I’ve got a frakkin’ case of the Mexican coke, so I might as well use it.

Just for city of Dallas, actually. But there are already pockets where you can buy now. (An example is that the old mega Whole Foods at Forest and Preston is dry, but the new mega Whole Foods at 75 and Park is not, and they’re both in Dallas.)
The opposition is essentially retailers in neighboring suburbs (Addison especially) and a few ministers in south Dallas who think it will bring convenience-store blight to poor neighborhoods. Which may well be true, but the law as it’s now in effect is stupid.

"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
I'm not very familiar with how WAR is calculated
How is it exactly that Torres has a greater WAR than Huff? Defense?
Does this mean our best starting lineup is:
1) Torres – CF
2) Rent – SS
3) Posey – C
4) Huff – 1B
5) Uribe – 2B
6) Pablo – 3B
7) Nate – RF
8) Scott – LF
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
Adjusting for playing time
you’d have to put Ishikawa in there ahead of Rowand (Ishi has roughly 1/3 the PAs).
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard a louder chorus of boos than when the Dodgers made the third out of the ninth. It was awesome.." - Aubrey Huff
Would he lose enough value to fall behind Burrell?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
Not necessarily.
If one believes The Book (Tango et al), it’s probably something like:
1) Torres – CF
2) Huff – 1B
3) Burrell – LF
4) Posey – C
5) Uribe – 2B
6) Pablo – 3B
7) Nate – RF
8) pitcher – P
9) Renteria – SS
(A good case could be made for flipping Uribe and Sandoval.)
The general guideline is best three batters in #1, #2, and #4, two next-best in #3 and #5, rest distributed on decreasing ability, except pitcher in #8. I don’t suppose that by any metric there is much doubt that Torres, Huff, and Posey are (in whatever actual order) the three best batters on the team. Burrell is close to but not quite at that level; after that, the differences aren’t very great—Uribe in #5 is not a standout choice. Heaven knows what Pablo’s future will be, but once he’d have been in the top five without question, and perhaps he will be again.

Of course, in a nod to his corporate masters, he only obliquely mentions the fact that ads between innings add far more time to games than something like catchers visiting the mound.

Like anything that’s overhyped, New York pizza will not blow your mind. But when you live here and realize that this is what you can get on just about any block whenever you want a slice to snack on — and then compare it to just about anything else in the country — then you realize how good you’ve got it.

…and the Warriors…. and probably the 49ers too but I don’t know nearly enough about football to really judge that accurately

"Correlation between inability to use the reply button and general crappiness of analysis: pretty high." -Sleepy Freud
but why does Brooks have to act like a company man for the Warriors and Fitz do the same with the 9ers? If anything the other should go a little out of his way to offset that. They are so consistently, ridiculously optimistic about the Warriors. The Warriors are not the kind of franchise that deserves that.

I actually started to get annoyed by Tom. All the guy does is sit there and repeat himself. I mean, he will sit there and say the same thing he just said with maybe a different word or a different stress. All he does is repeat himself. I mean, man, that guy just says whatever he just already said, but maybe he stresses it this time.

The best part about gary is
Take away dan dibbly, ray woodson, and tony bruno and that show has NOTHING. Gary can no longer say his co-hosts name every 10 seconds to get an opinion from him since he knows nothing of what he’s talking about. Take away all those people and you got 3 hours of gary radnich mumbling, grunting, reading a tele-prompter, and talking about celebrities and reality tv.
"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 think the deal with Tom is that he’s not THAT into his job, at least not enough to really commit to planning much. And thats actually ok for me. It would be better if he were surrounded by better hosts, particularly a more knowledgeable partner, but I think most radio hosts are bound to repeat themselves a lot if you listen long enough.

Following up on the last KNBR caller: as much as I love the Giants this year
This is not a “magical” team…2002 magical, 1993 magical…this one is not magical (yet)
BUT WHAT ABOUT "INSIDE"?
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!

The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Don’t forget ’97, the team of Dustiny. Woohoo, the first Giants team I rooted for.
They could be Giants...but not really.
How was 1993 magical?

I just need decent fucking public transportation on the Peninsula between SF and SJ

Okay…. I don’t need to get to LA faster, or SF or SJ for that matter (an hour or so is marginally tolerable).
I travel up and down the Peninsula daily and want to get more than a few miles off the CalTrain right-of-way easily and quickly. Example – almost impossible to take a class at DeAnza College without a car, even though you live in the same f’ing county….
Gotcha. Take that up with SamTrans though. The HSR is going to be a huge improvement for lots of people.

When we move… I’d like to live somewhere…where I could walk to work. Not bloody likely but it’d be nice.

wish there were more alternatives, not everybody will find work close to home.
Well since I choose to, am good at, and like working with po’ kids in neighborhoods that are socio-economically challenged…I’m not too sure I’d really want to live that close to where I work.
As one of my parents once told me “Oh you’re fine here during the day, but go home before it gets dark.”
I live where I work (which has a lot of kids on economic help)
But Vallejo is a big mix of affluent and poor neighborhoods. Sometimes really close to each other.

Yeah I was gonna say
I was pretty sure he had plenty of AB’s last year to make him ineligible for the award this year. Even then he’s been playing all year in a loaded line up in a band box.. his 2010 season is mediocre at best.

Not to mention he was instantly thrusted into the face of the franchise role as the savior of the offense. That combined with his crazy wife (ex wife now?), kids, his awful diet, and the pressures of all of that everyday have been to much for him this season. His season has been awful due to a lot of things, but his pyschical conditioning is one of the key elements without a doubt.

I was laughing my ass off yesterday when all the brown nosing “expert analysts” were like “With this trade for oswalt ruben amaro jr has redeemed himself big time for the cliff lee trade and can never be questioned about the trade again!”. Uhhhhh no? That was the worst trade in MLB history and there is nothing that can defend that trade.

Ump actually can toss without warning if he sees intent. But mgr not ejected. RT @steakfrites16: ump can still give warning during the game?

Funny how the MLB did nothing about rowand getting a fastball directly to the face in a blow out game yet the moment the giants get involved its full on panic mode.

That seems pretty clear.

right but an umpire can always toss without a warning. the question is what did he mean by no “pre-emptive” warning. Did he mean:
1) that both teams would not be warned before the game and therefore they could hit someone during the game and would probably only get a warning
or
2) that during the game, if shenanigans occurred, there would be no warning, guys would just get tossed.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.

OK, Phil Cuzzi blew the call Sunday. We know it. It happens. For once, we got a break.
Yeah the mets never catch breaks, just like the yankees.

OT re hidden posts.
Is there some way that when mods hide a FanPost (as with the Panda one), it can also be removed from the FanPosts list page?
