Post-game thread: Giants come back late, beat Broxton and Dodgers

PrintMaybe John Bowker will be a hard-hitting corner outfielder one day. Maybe he won’t. We’ll see in a year or two. I’m pulling for him.
Maybe Javier Lopez will get Adrian Gonzalez to flail at a pitch in a crucial, division-deciding spot. Maybe he’ll give up a bases-clearing double. We’ll see in a month or two. I’m pulling for him.
Until then, we have the day-to-day foibles of the Giants to follow. And today, it’s a good day to be a Giants fan. For the most part. Ah, nuts. Forget the qualifier. It was a great day. The Giants beat the Dodgers. Everything else is secondary. Kind of. For the most part.
It was a serious déjà vu game until Pat Burrell’s homer. Chad Billingsley was shutting down the Giants again. The Giants were leaving runners in scoring position again. It would have been a miserable loss. But Burrell – acquired for Bowker in the alternate offseason reality I’ve created to make this win even more enjoyable – hit one of the more memorable home runs of the past few seasons.
Guillermo Mota was fantastic. Barry Zito was great. The crowd was going nuts, and that definitely came across on the radio. Soon the feeling will return to my extremities.
Sweep this series, you beautiful bastards. Sweep.

The home run was great but I almost loved the dugout celebration even more. I mean, I think chemistry is as overrated as the next sabermetric nerd living in their mom’s basement, but it’s still fun to watch a team that clearly enjoys playing together. I mean, they were practically mobbing Burrell when he came into the dugout.

I’m not going to defend the trade. Not because they traded Bowker – I knew they would if they could. But because I was hoping Bowker would be part of a package that brought more than an average left handed reliever.
I will defend his explanation. He gets questioned. He has to respond. What the hell is he supposed to say – “Yeah those are two great prospects we just gave away.”
As I have said repeatedly – the Giants didn’t think much of Bowker. They saw him as a AAAA guy. Sabean just said what is “their truth”. And he put it fairly gently.
Now he may be wrong. Bowker may turn out to be a quality starting outfielder. That is a different issue.
Yeah, that would go over really well.

Im sure they explored every available lefty in the league and im sure that every team knew we were desperate and was trying to jack us up. Heck, Seattle wanted Sandoval for Aardsma.
This way, we traded two guys who were not going to be major leaguers here…ever…for a major league player who is our tourniquet until Runzler and Affeldt are back. Had to be done
Then the question falls back to:
Did we really need a LHP? Yeah, it is Bochy’s management style, but I have seen RHP get lefties out. I am against making moves for the sake of making moves.

It's every manager's style
LHP arms in the bullpen are valuable…just as LH batters are more coveted than RH ones…supply and demand
And then you run into a situation where someone like Pablo- a guy who struggles significantly more against either righties or lefties- is up in a big situation, and you lose an advantage. Bullpens should have both righties and lefties

I'll defend the trade
We got the piece we needed most, a bullpen lefty. You saw what happened last night, right?
And we traded two guys that we probably couldnt trade anywhere else for something the major league club needs.
What Sabean is supposed to say:
“It’s tough to lose two solid young ballplayers like Bowker and Martinez. They’ve both shown a lot of promise and done everything we’ve asked of them. Unfortunately, due to some untimely injuries, our bullpen is thin right now and we had a chance to add a couple guys in Lopez and Ramirez who we felt could bring some significant help for us down the stretch. We certainly wish nothing but the best for John and for Joe. I’m confident that they’ll both provide significant help to the Pirates as they move forward.”

It’s this simple: He was preoccupied this winter and it cost him. He had personal stuff to straighten out, getting married, and he was ill-prepared to come into spring training. I don’t know how much he threw to get ready. Some of it is our fault because we didn’t track him as well as maybe we should. We’ve got to do a better job eyeballing that.

Most GM's
Most GM’s have a great deal more tact and grace than Sabean showed today. Take a look around mlb.com at the news releases from all the trades that have gone down over the past week. You’ll find that nearly every team made some kind of trade, and nearly GM, in discussing the trades they made, either took pains to be complimentary about the players they were losing, or simply limited their quotes to the players they had acquired.
Only the Cardinals GM and the Orioles GM—and Sabean, of course—had quotes that could be considered derogatory in some way towards the player being traded…
- Of Ryan Ludwick, Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said:
“In fairness, our offense was inconsistent with him”.
- Of Will Ohman, Orioles GM Andy Macphail said:
“To have too many guys in that bullpen that are just one-inning or fraction-of-an-inning guys really wasn’t a good match…”.
That’s it. Just those two were the only ones I could find. All the rest—and we’re talking into the 20’s—we’re first class all the way. Yes, it’s a business, but it’s not impossible to show a little tact and grace. And there’s also no law that requires a GM to give a candid answer to every question. Heaven knows Sabean has made a practice of blowing great billows of smoke when it has suited him to do so.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
We felt we know enough about Joe and Bowker that it was time to cut the cord in a deal like this. And they’re in a good spot."
I don’t see much of a difference between what Sabean said and what the other GMs said. He’s saying that he didn’t want to give up on any prospects that we don’t know enough about. That’s pretty much it.

I wonder...
If there really was some anger mixed in there. Don’t forget, Burrell’s HR came on the heels of Posey getting plunked—the third Giants’ hitter to be hit in the game. And the ump’s warning after that only serves to let the Giants know that they aren’t allowed retribution. Maybe in some ways, Burrell’s HR provided the best kind of retribution.
I’m not saying it was the main emotion in play there. Just that it may have provided some undercurrent.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

Listen, I hate A-Rod as much as the next guy, but...
It’s not his fault for accepting a contract. Texas and the Yankees paid him what they thought he was worth. And were they wrong? He has been a top 3 player in MLB every year and he is on pace to challenge the all time home run record. Even though he is a douche, he produces consistently and projects to be one of the all time greats.
It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't. - BLB
I agree that it was absolutely right for his bank account to sign that contract. In fact, I’d agree that it was also right for him the person. I think it was bad for A-Rod the baseball star. When he came up, A-Rod was marketed as Latin version of Junior Griffey who happened to play SS. He smiled and goofed around and couldn’t buy a beer even though he was All-Star. Then he signed that contract with a team that had no chance of making the playoffs. The only reason people kept paying attention to him was because of the contract. It came to define him. In fact, it came to define that whole franchise to the point that people believed that the contract was preventing the team from contending. His image, his star-potential, has never recovered from that and I think he is genuinely hurt by that occurrence. That hurt implies a level of self-absorption that makes him even less likable to baseball fans and so the cycle continues. So no, I will never say that A-Rod shouldn’t have accepted that contract, but I do contend that the contract will forever define him in a negative way.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
it'll won't happen ...
but i’m hoping and praying that A-Fraud will never hit that 600th HR and retire at 599. lol.

It was the A-Rod contract that really chafed people’s hides about Scott Boras. When we read about the hardbound books on the glory of A-Rod, I think it struck everyone as a little too much. Then A-Rod did become LIghtening Rod for all those things you say.

How the hell did anyone ever call this douche the greatest player of all time?
"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."
Uh, when he had a 146 career OPS+ while playing mostly shortstop?
I mean, I don’t think he’s the greatest player of all time, but he’s certainly one of them.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
he’s currently 26th all time in WAR
so
yeah I think he will break the top 25 by the time his career is over.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
So he would have to pass probably two players?
How far away is he from the 25th?
And there’s guys who aren’t necessarily in the top 25 who were shortened on WAR because of other factors (such as negro league players, military service, etc.)
He’s currently about 2 WAR behind Kid Nichols and Joe Morgan.
And he’s also likely to play for quite a bit longer. It’s not like his career is practically over. He will probably finish his career in the top 20, at least.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Eh, we’ll see. He could flame out about any time.
And like I said, there are guys who have had shorter careers (say 10 seasons) but averaged a higher WAR per season.
He’s under contract for a pretty long time. He’s going to get to play.
And A-Rod’s got eight seasons out of 17 at MVP quality, two very short seasons at the beginning of his career, and 4 more at All Star or higher quality.
I’m not sure why you think he’s not an amazing player, but he really is.
The fact that he’s done it for 15 full seasons, with only like 2 years that weren’t really All Star Quality or higher is extremely valuable and puts him over guys who had shorter careers.
(Who are the guys with better WAR averages but only 10 seasons, though?)

Now, really: This is a Giants team with the sort of starting pitching depth that begged for a deal. Whether it was Jose Bautista or Corey Hart or any other big bat, the Giants needed to wave goodbye to Jonathan Sanchez. The emergence of Madison Bumgarner has allowed them to make such a trade, and yet here the Giants are, in the same place they’ve been the last few years: lots of pitching, not enough hitting and the weight of their world resting on Tim Lincecum and his diminished velocity, plus Matt Cain.

the odd thing is
I really do think the Giants have enough hitting this year. They’re right around the middle of the pack and the offense they’ve been throwing out lately is a lot better than the one they had earlier in the season. No, they don’t have a Sox-esque offense and they’re still going to drive you nuts sometimes, but between Torres, Huff, Posey and the lesser contributors like Uribe, Renteria, Sandoval, etc., I think they have enough offense.
Not that they couldn’t use an upgrade in RF, but there weren’t any out there that were big enough upgrades to be worth Jonathan Sanchez.

I enjoy hearing all the “expert analysts” say the giants need “one big bat and will go all the way”. They talk as if sanchez and bumgarner are expendable and do nothing to help the team out and can be replaced easily from the minors. That’s not the case and not even close and committing franchise suicide trading away neal, belt, and bumgarner or sanchez for bautista would do nothing but get the giants laughed at while bautista bats .150 the rest of the year with 2 doubles and 1 home run LOOK AT THOSE DINGERZ!

I agree
It was pretty obvious by the treatment of Bowker that he had fallen out of favor with Sabean (also check the “perceived value” quote), but Neal or Belt have never seen the majors at all before. To bring them up and drop them in middle of what is sure to be a tight playoff run might not help the development the way we want it.

I can understand the dislike…Sabean likes veteran MLB guys over young prospects…Stoneman on the Angels was the opposite…People ripped him for cuddling his prospect too much.

If the Giants pitching is truly that deep, why does Lincecum, with a diminishing fastball, have the weight of the world on his shoulders.
I am VERY glad they didn’t trade Sanchez and hope that continues. Sending a guy out every game that can give a quality start is a nice thing to have.

I don’t think Enberg’s bad. He has the bland smoothness of a network sports broadcaster, so he can’t be truly great.

Jayson Stark sez the Gs are losers
At least they tweaked their bullpen, getting Ramon Ramirez and Javy Lopez. But where’s that bat the Giants had to have, needed to find and obviously pursued? This team seemed to be linked to every bat in Rumor Central, from Jose Bautista to Adam Dunn. But not dealing for any of them could turn into one of those critical missed opportunities to go deep into October. “They should have found a bat, no doubt about it,” said one NL executive. “They’ve got the best pitching in the league. Give that team a little more offense, and look out.”
They could be Giants...but not really.
I knew a girl named October once. Never was able to go deep there, or even get on her.

I got called into work before the game started
So I listened on the radio unfortunately listening to the Dodger station. I was walking outside to do something before the bottom of the 8th and came back in the 9th. The way I realized the Giants were winning: the fans were screaming so loud they were practically blocking out the Dodger announcers. It was awesome.

Just got back from seeing my first Giants-Dodgers game. Man that was fun! The crowd was going crazy when Burrell hit his big fly and when Mota was closing out the game . While walking out of the stadium, the crowd was still cheering and chanting “BEAT LA”. There were even a bunch of stupid Dodger fans leaving after the 8th, trying to beat the traffic or something. They received some booing, but everything seemed to stay really civil and friendly between the Giants and Dodgers fans throughout the game, which was nice to see. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon.

You’re right! They were swept by the Dodgers at home on May 14-16.
They could be Giants...but not really.
OK
well, hopefully this is the second sweep assuming the Fish can hold on and have JJ going tomorrow.

This is just a hunch, but I think Seattle closer David Aardsma was the other relief pitcher the Giants nearly acquired today.
Somewhere in the minor leagues, Joe Paterson is pitching.

I was with my girl friend at the time, French, and it was her first ballgame ever. I carefully explained the situation before Renteria’s home run; when it happened, and everyone was going wild, she gave me a wide-eyed look and said, “Did he do it?” And it was then that I kissed her. That is the greatest game of all time.

I wish this team had 2009 Lincecum and Sandoval. That would be cool
I would like to talk to you about my pokemonz
Eh. One’s a 7.5 WAR pitcher the other is a 6 WAR pitcher.
2008 Timmy had 1 more K/9, slightly less BB/9, as well as half a run lower in FIP and ERA.
Not to mention a lot of Tim’s great success this year is from the first month of the season.
Yeah, but you can't just exclude the first month...
Also, by xFIP, the difference is really small. just .2…The only really large difference is in K/9. I didn’t say there weren’t any differences. I merely stated that 2008 wasn’t exactly miles ahead of 2010, a bit of luck here and there could easily turn 2010 into another 2008-type of season.
Don’t disagree.
But there’s definitely something different about Lincecum right now compared to what he is right now.
If not, he wouldn’t be changing his mechanics.
We'd be in first by 6 games

Makes you really appreciate our hometown announcers ...
Here’s what the Marlin radio announcer said (paraphrased) after the non-turn of the DP:
(background: 9th inning, Marlins up 6-3; 1st and 3rd, 1 out; ground ball to 3rd (out at 2nd, safe at 1st))
“Whoa did I say Tejada scored? He didn’t … he stayed at third, even though there was no chance of the play coming home. That’s a huge play – the score is only 6-3, not 6-4!!!”
What a maroon!

Actually, you’re right … it was Gonzalez on third (Tejada on first). But I still think he said Tejada. Maybe I’ll check the archive when it’s posted.
"It'll break your heart. It's designed to break your heart."
- A. Bartlett Giamatti
Checked the Gameday Audio archive ...
and the Marlins’ announcer did say it was Gonzales who held at third and failed to score on the play with Tejada out at second.
And here are the exact words that followed:
“Wow, that is a break … it’s still 6-3.”
You can find it at 3:08 of the archive.
"It'll break your heart. It's designed to break your heart."
- A. Bartlett Giamatti
Yeah, on that play the ball was hit right to the third baseman (forgot who it was), who froze Gonzalez with a glance before going to second. If the ball had gone to a middle infielder and Gonzalez had gone on contact, one assumes he would have scored.

Well, my point was that it really doesn’t matter if he scores or not … it’s the 9th inning and the tying run is still at the plate if the DP isn’t turned.
As some announcers will say (to my annoyance), “his run doesn’t matter”. I will no longer cringe the next time that’s said.

Spoiler: Lowell Cohn column quote re Sanchez below
Click on the subject line to ignore.
I agree the Giants should not trade Bumgarner, who may be the best pitcher on their staff at this moment. But Sanchez? Come on. The Giants look at Sanchez and see a lefty, a young lefty, a young lefty with great stuff. They believe he will outgrow his inconsistency. Maybe they think he’s destined for the Hall of Fame.
I disagree. I see a 27-year-old pitcher who should be fully mature by now. I don’t think he will outgrow anything. I think he is who he is. He is fine as long as he can throw his fastball. Ask him to get batters out with his curve and his palms begin to sweat. He doesn’t believe in his curveball. He psyches himself out on the mound — you’ve seen him do that.
If you want to be unkind, you might say Sanchez has head-case tendencies. If you really want to be unkind, you might say he never will be more than a No.4 starter. I believe he never will be anything more than a No.4. I believe the Giants should have traded him.
No mention of who would replace him in the rotation, of course.
They could be Giants...but not really.

If he thinks Sanchez is a hopeless head case, I don’t think he watches too many middle to back of the rotation starters.

It’s just that sometimes taking action is better than being patient, especially when a difference-making, team-improving, playoff-guaranteeing big hitter is the payoff.
Yeah, Sanchez was going to bring that kind of return back.

Makes no sense
If he believes that Jonathan Sanchez is no better than a number 4 starter, which is basically average to below average, then how did he expect the giants to trade him for an everyday player that would be better than average?

Yes
All things considered, Sabean’s restraint should be (at least somewhat) praised.
I’m 100% sure that every single person he called in an attempt to make a deal said “Oh, we want Sanchez or Bumgarner”. And hey, we’re leaving the deadline with our rotation intact. There’s something to be said for that.

I missed most of it, travelling home from San Diego (I love the city, but man it was cold this year – didn’t break 70 degrees once in the two weeks we were there). But as soon as we walked into the house, we went straight to the TV, turned on the game, and the first pitch we saw was Pat Burrell hitting his homer. That was pretty awesome.

i actually have a great story about good ol’ burrell. i went to college in Philly during the days when he and rowand played for the phillies and i met a bartender named sarah one night at a south philly bar and she told me that pat would come in after the game, get shitfaced drunk, try to hit on her, and was eventually thrown out. one night, she decided to sleep with Pat “the Bat” and the best part is that when he came out of the bathroom, he was standing stark naked … only wearing his baseball cleats and holding onto his bat. he then continues to kick his bat onto his shoulder and says, “you’re about to fuck Pat Burrell.” LOL! this is a true story. swear to God.

For one, it’s too close to my feet for your comfort.
And for another, you’ve never properly appreciated the hump-usefulness of the knee-crease.

I somehow missed his call, I assume he went crazy over not trading sanchez for dunn or fielder?

Some insane idiot called in and went on this crazy fielder rant like he’s jesus and putting up bondsian numbers. I’m sure he was well aware that he’s slugging under .500 and has 22 homers and 48 RBI’s to go with his horrific defense and speed LOL FIELDER WILL TAKE US ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I finally make my way to this thread, what a great game today. We started in Lot D tailgating then made our way to the ballpark and sat in the center field bleachers. Great view of Zito pitiching today. There were 75 of us so we made lots of noise and had a good time. For the bleachers everyone was rather civil to each other and general good natured heckling.
Just to let you all know I called that HR. Pat the Bat came up I said he would hit one and pointed to where it would go. The next pitch..boom. You are welcome. :)
Crazy Crab despised in the 20th century and beloved in the 21st century. Hey it only took over 20 years, so don't give up hope.
You know, one thing that was really impressive about the 20-8 July is that the Giants managed it despite 1. not having a single off day other than the All Star Break and 2. playing 18 of 28 games on the road.
I think if you’d told me those two things before July began AND told me that the Giants would go 20-8 in the month, I would have thought you were crazy.
