Post-game thread: Bumgarner shines, Giants winning streak reaches two games
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 6, 2010 8:13 PM PDT
Email
PrintSo this is what the alternate universe looks like. When Craig Counsell made an error to help the Giants avoid a double play, a wormhole opened up. So here I am, not drinking bourbon over a discouraging Giants loss and writing a post that isn't the most amazing thing you've ever read. I'm scared to go outside. Cars will be driving people, and birds will festoon the ground. Festoon, I tell you.
Couple of notes:
- Madison Bumgarner looks good. It's amazing that he was able to overcome the hurdle of a ROOKIE CATCHER and pitch a fine game.
- Travis Ishikawa still isn't the answer as a starter, but don't worry, when he cools off -- and he will -- he'll sit right down. Next time, be over 30, Travis.
- Sergio Romo should be a late-inning option again, not a human victory cigar. He can throw strikes. He can leave timeout now.
Ah. Maybe this will be the run that propels the Giants close enough to the top of the division, which makes it okay to make an awful, desperate trade. Good times.

He was ridiculously good for having a 1.74 K/BB.
Maddux was ridiculously good because he never walked anybody.
check out Maddux’s BB rates in the minors.

the league average K/9 during Drysdale’s career was in the 5s
you realize that right
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
so he was actually an above average K pitcher
and he led the league in K/9 a few years
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
and
the league average now is in the 6’s.
all I am saying is that you can be a very good, even great, pitcher with fairly pedestrian K rates.
Jeesum crist, I’m like the first person to call out the ‘pitch to contact’ myth. Never thought I’d have to defend this position.

league average K/9 in the NL this year is actually 7.2
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
that said
of course you can be a good pitcher w/o getting a lot of ks
but pointing out HoFers and ignoring the thousands of pitchers with mediocre K/9s who were mediocre is disingenuous
i’m not worried about MadBum though
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

let’s not talk about 1/2 a years stats when we are discussing eras.
I expect better from you.

and I expect better from you than picking out exceptions to the rule wrt K-rate and citing pitchers from the 60s who had above-average K-rates relative to league as proof that you can be successful without striking a lot of guys out =\
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
when did Maddux and Glavine pitch in the 60's?
when someone says, you cannot be successful without doing ‘x’, then when there are examples of people being successful without doing ‘x’ they should be pointed out.
and when ‘x’ actually does represent the most important part of success, then, by their very nature these will be rare.
the rarity does not negate their reality.

did anyone say madbum couldn’t be successful?
someone just pointed out that his strikeout rates have been pretty mediocre since a-ball. I think it was presented more as a “hey, thinking that maybe he wasn’t ready was a legitimate concern” (since it came out of a thread where someone implied that fans were silly for thinking Madbum wasn’t ready) not “LOLOL MADBUM SUX”. So saying, “Well, Maddux struck out 6 per 9 in his career!” doesn’t really mean a whole lot.
and you were the one who brought up Lefty Grove and Don Drysdale, so like, yeah.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
sorry
I don’t want to be a jerk about this
But it’s just an argument I’ve seen done with a million control artist pitchers who didn’t strike anyone out in the past (“Oh, well Maddux never struck anyone out and he was good!”) and most of them didn’t end up anywhere near Mike Maddux, let alone Greg.
Not saying that’s the case for Bumgarner, but Greg Maddux really shouldn’t be used as a comp for anything.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
heh
and I also don’t want to be a jerk about this.
HOWEVER, I think that even if he doesn’t get the K rates, Madison does enough of every thing else to be a very fine pitcher, even if he doesn’t sniff the Hall of Good.
Usually, we’re in so much more agreeance…your group think powers are wearing off. :-P

I’m just saying, if you’re making an argument that Mets fans used to make about Yusmeiro Petit, maybe your argument isn’t so great…. :]
And I don’t even disagree with you that MadBum has the tools to be a good pitcher (mostly because he has good control). I just don’t think citing Maddux, Grove, Glavine and Drysdale has much to do with it.

Duuuude.
You’re citing a guy who was in the top-10 in K/9 for 7 straight years as an example of how pitchers don’t need to strike people out to be great? Just by comparison, Johan Santana only made it to the top-10 4 times. C.C. Sabathia only made it 5 times.
Drysdale was an absolutely fantastic strikeout pitcher.

It was not what he was known for, but Maddux was actually an above average strikeout pitcher during his peak. He finished 3 times in the top-10 in K/9 (1991, 1992, 1995).
Between 1991 and 2000 (a period that includes 8 out of his 9 top-10 finishes in the CYA – including all 4 wins – and all 5 seasons in which he lead the league in ERA+) his K/9 was 6.76, while the league average K/9 was 6.2. That’s about 9% above the league average – the equivalent of a ~7.6 K/9 in 2010. Not great or anything, but still good.

It’s not like he was a magical BIP = OUT machine. He never walked anyone and he never gave up HRs, and STILL struck out a league-average number of guys. All his best years has a K/9 closer to 7

Danny bautista is the epitome of suck, he makes merkin valdez look like a excellent late inning option.
"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."
Merkin didnt walk people as much. He did give up a lot of hits though. Hits are more damaging but walks are much more fusturating.

His career numbers are pretty bad. Wellemeyer’s are even worse, but it’s harder to be a starter.
I was promised lasagna.
Wellemeyer has a big lefty/righty split for his career (probably because his only decent pitch is the slider), so he might be useful coming out of the pen, where you can minimize his exposure to left-handed hitters.

Geez.
How soon we forget. Wellemeyer is not a good pitcher. The end. If we want non-good pitchers in our bullpen, we assuredly have many choices besides him. If, by some chance, it happens that we want good ones, then we need but drop Bautista and Casilla, and perhaps promote Martinez, and there we are.

Wellemeyer might be able to throw three innings in a lopsided game (he’s had a lot of practice since he’s created several). Bautista demonstrated he cannot, and if that’s the case he doesn’t seem to be of much use.

Sabean straightened his ass right out!
“Madison, it’s important as a big league player that you now distance yourself from the caustic human interactions that will drain your energy and cause you to lose focus.
Try not to get worked up when family members die. Perhaps an anullment would be helpful to you. Maybe you could get a goldfish instead of a wife. Goldfish require much less attention.
Take me as an example. I am the GM of a great baseball organization, and I have no friends, no family that I care about, and most people find me to be an arrogant asshole. If you could just try to be more like me, I’m sure that you’ll be MUCH more successful in your career and in life.

its a viscous cycle. Dodgers/Padres prospects get traded to the A’s. They then become Yankee’s. And then toward the end of their career’s become dodgers and padres again only to spite the giants.

Regrettably—or perhaps not, from a different viewpoint—with the arrival of Ray and the numbers the younger Martinez is putting up, there’s probably no place left here for Medders. I wish him well somewhere else (as long as it’s outside the NL West).

I don’t know about that, but it’s very likely that could be the case. Buster needs a day off anyway, hopefully his knee is ok. The pitch that hit him was an 88 mph fastball, couldn’t have hurt him that bad.

He switches between wearing nothing, wearing his goggles, and wearing contacts. It throws his timing off and really seems to have ruined his game from the right side. He needs to get lasik surgery ASAP and take care of his eyes in depth along with his weight.

I’m speculating, but considering how lost he looks compared to last year it really looks like his eyes are bothering him. He’s still solid from the left side, but he’s nearly j.t. snow esque from the right side and should stick to one vision solution.

Astigmatism makes it much tougher to find contacts that will be effective, and hard contacts are probably the most unsuitable.
I have pretty severe astigmatism, and even most soft contacts don’t work for me. People with astigmatism need a special kind that is weighted on the bottom so that they stay oriented correctly and don’t rotate out of alignment.
Apparently mine’s bad enough that my vision people at Kaiser gave me a prescription that’s “the best I’ll be able to get,” which is very noticeably worse than my 3-year-old glasses prescription. I had an optometrist that specializes in hard-to-fit contacts, and he was able to get my prescription to be perfect, but my current plan doesn’t cover him.
I came, I saw, I told bad jokes and left.
Good info. I have a slight astigmatism, but I haven’t even bothered with contacts in almost 10 years so I pretty much forgot everything they told me. Glasses are much nicer.

I don’t mean to start a cake vs. pie debate, BUT…I beg to differ.
They could be Giants...but not really.
I always preferred contacts when I had astigmatism. But, you know what’s weird? My astigmatism went away, in both eyes. The optometrist thinks I’m some kind of freak of nature.
That is strange. And impressive! Good for you.
I thought my eyesight got better after I switched to daily use contacts. But my optometrist says no. :(
They could be Giants...but not really.
Mine has been steadily declining, so losing the astigmatism only meant that my contacts are a little cheaper.
I wish my optic nerve damage would fix itself.

I wore hard contacts

I can literally (gently) poke myself in the eye and not feel it any more.
I wear disposable soft lenses now – they are the awesome. If you lose one, you are only out a couple bucks. I just wear them for a couple days straight then throw them away.
Also, my good eye is -6.5 (20/400) and I can see much better in contacts because otherwise you have to get GIANT LENSES.

Glasses are nicer in some cases, but there are also times when contacts are better.
I’m lazy, so I’ll often just put glasses on and be done with it, but they do get in the way at times. I don’t like how they get dirty, or how the frames are constantly in my line of vision (the only way to counter that would be to get bug-eye frames).
Contacts do give better overall vision, IMO, but they are more work to put in and take out than glasses, and if you do lose one, you’re kinda screwed unless you happen to have backups on hand, and who does that?

Pablo played above his skillz last year , got complacent, got fatter and is regressing. that said, I still think he is a legit MLB player who would be better if he learns better strike zone judgement.
I’m actually not sure he’s fatter than last year. I thought he was, but then I saw some clips from last year. He looks the same.

2) thinking the brewers have any inclination to trade ryan braun
You can only hope they have a sabean moment and decide to trade braun for some toolsy prospects.

Sabean didn't want to release AJ
I apologize for flogging this old Robb Nen story again. But I happened to meet Robb Nen just after the AJ trade had been made, and I asked him about it. Here was Nen’s prediction:
“And with Pierzynski, the Giants think they’re going to get him to sign a cheap multi-year deal, but he’s up for arbitration. He’s not going to sign their deal, he will go to arbitration, and the Giants are going to end up paying more than they’re expecting or they’ll lose him after one year.”
Things played out pretty much exactly as Nen had predicted. That’s why AJ was released.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
picking up a dude in the middle of his career year would be different, though
they can always trade him somewhere else for somebody else’s prospects after the season

Now wait a minute
Corey Hart is a legit 20/20 guy and has been for the last four years. He is young and not too expensive. He has a decent-to-mediocre glove, and he is another excuse to keep Rowand out of the lineup.
Why are we freaking out?
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
He has a decent-to-mediocre glove, and he is another excuse to keep Rowand out of the lineup.
UZR of -3.3, but that’s up from -5.7 last year, which means that he is neither mediocre or decent, but bad. Also, his career high for homeruns is 24 and his home/road OPS splits are .971/.855 which is only about 120 points. He is a more expensive version of Pat Burrell who already plays for the Giants, for the league minimum.
by Giant Torture on Jul 7, 2010 8:36 AM PDT up reply actions
I think Burrell is going to end up a disappointment
but I think the biggest fear of this trade is what the Giants, especially the one trying to keep his job, will send to Milwaukee to get him.

Burrell’s average is a bit higher than it’s been in the past, but all of his other numbers seem to be in line with what he did before he went to Tampa. So I’m not so certain that his decline is coming, plus his splits suggest he usually does better in the second half. However, totally agree, Sabean will sell the farm for a league average player who has feasted on his home park in a good lineup.

Wow
Wilson wasn’t the one who blew it for us there.. Ryan franklin came in with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out and proceeded to throw BP.
"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."
The giants at least only had a 3 run lead.. the cardinals came in with a 6 run lead against the bottom of the order. Not to mention their closer clame in and proceeded to allow 8 runs to score while only getting one out. That is one of the worst meltdowns I’ve seen in a long time, and of course the rockies are the culprits.

Just think what great shape you could be in if you devoted 90 minutes a day to exercise, rest days factored in, so maybe 90 minutes times 5 days.
Professional athletes have way more time than this on their hands.

He’s cheap and was MVP of the Olympics in 2006, and was considered the MVP of his team last year. He’s a big, butterfly goalie that has the ability to stand on his head and be on fire for extended periods of time. However, he’s nowhere near the same caliber as Nabokov, and is super inconsistent.
I like it in that it’s a nice cheap stopgap for the Sharks’ goalie pipeline to mature and get some starts for Greiss and possibly Stalock (who wouldn’t get the same opportunity if Nabby was the starter). I’m not sure of the defense being able to cover for Niittymaki, but if Doug Wilson gets a good defensemen (which he is indicating that he will), I’m pretty happy with it. It allows the team to compete while developing the goalies and flexing their prospect strength.

Agree on the pitchers, but the position players, I don’t know that Panda or Posey will ever hit 30+ HRs. Braun’s done it three times (yes Mil is a more hitter’s park). Braun’s also under contract for a while.
Let's bring the...
I don't see Posey being a 30+ homer guy either
but 25 isn’t out of reach, Posey bring us solid defense, a consistent bat that can put the ball in play when needed. He also brings us a true leader. In three or four years this will be HIS team. Sorry for making the Skankee reference but he’ll be our Jeter, except better and yes I will stand behind that statement. If he can’t he’ll still be a Will Clark type of guy.
Panda could be the 30+ homer guy if he learns discipline which I am sure he will. Right now it seems as Sandoval is lost at the plate, yes he did hit a fucking ridiculous .330 last year and in his “sophmore slump” is hitting .270 which is nothing to really bitch about. Give him time! he might not be a Mad Vlad hitter who can drive the ball after it bounces to the plate, but he could certainly be a nice Kirby Puckett-esque player

when you get your team to the AFC championship as a rookie, and then your team doesn’t lose because of you screwing up, it’s safe to call you a good draft pick.
I know they didn’t win BECAUSE of him, but any rookie QB whose team gets to that level is gonna be good down the road, barring injury. Especially with that line and that running game.

I read he had a lower QB rating than JaMarcus Russell. I just looked it up, I guess if you compare both of their first years as starters then that’s true. I don’t know what you guys think about QB rating as a stat.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
QB rating is not a good stat

I’m with you there. I also have my reservations with the Football Outsiders stats, but they’re better (he was 35th in DVOA).
I like looking at the QB+ stats to get an idea of how he is relative to the league in key areas.
Adjusted yards per attempt +: 82
Completion percentage +: 77
Touchdown rate +: 91
Interception rate +: 64
And even all that doesn’t mean a hell of a lot for a rookie. The 91 TD% is very encouraging, because throwing touchdowns is far and away the most important skill for a quarterback. Everything else is just a big set of question marks.

I'm firmly like all the old crotchety baseball guys RE: football stats
I just don’t think they’re very good because it’s SO hard to calculate an individual’s worth when there’s 22 moving parts on every play.
That said, I know that Sanchez was not good in the latter half of the regular season last year. That’s pretty much expected of a rookie. But what you also expect from a team being led by a rookie QB is that they’ll suck in the playoffs.
They were actually pretty awesome in the playoffs, and they haven’t done anything this offseason to hurt themselves. I can’t see Sanchez not improving over his second half last year

Meh, he’s definitely in a great situation for his development, but that doesn’t guarantee development and – independent of the W-L record – he really looked bad last year.
Although I will admit that he played quite well in the playoffs, and that’s not a bad sign.

and he was pretty bad in the second half. But for a rookie I think he did pretty well.
Trust me, I want to hate the guy. The hype was retarded and I hate USC, but I can’t really go against what he did. Any rookie who can perform that well on that big of a stage is gonna be pretty good, unfortunately.

Yeah, I’m not discounting the fact that he’s a rookie. I’m just not comfortable putting any crown on the guy’s development until he actually, well, develops. There were plenty of encouraging things for Sanchez last season – most of them in the postseason.
But he was waaaaay overrated coming out of college and his rookie performance shouldn’t really quiet those critics. He was pretty much put into the Ryan/Flacco formula for success and put up Stafford-in-Detroit’s-fucking-offense-esque numbers.
I really just think he’s a very big question mark with some positives (the playoffs, the touchdown rate, etc.) and some other discouraging things – and I don’t know which side of that coin is going to win out.

they did the right things
Went to a running-based attack.
Drafted offensive line in first round.
Built solid defensive scheme with defensive coach.
Drafted shutdown corner, traded for another, and then drafted one more just to say “suck it Patriots”.
Now mind you, they did all this with having also drafted Vernon Gholston in 2008.

I think so
He’s a lefty you can build a rotation around, God forbid if we ever did lose timmy or cain we’d still have good pitcher on this team in MadBum.
He’s got so much upside that I think that Sabean, yes the same Sabean who traded Liriano, will realize this is a guy a team can build around.

mmm..
i am not saying Madbum doesn’t have potential. He is young which leaves ceiling for grow. I think pure stuff wise, Liriano was way nastier. if someone offers me players the lights of Braun ,Fielder, etc… i would def have to consider trade a young starting pitcher for a young everyday player. There is no guarantee Bumga won’t get injured the way liriano did or many others
I'm just going from my POV
which is this: Sabean has traded two top prospect left handers, and got one solid year from an ok Left hander who has moments or brilliance with Noah Lowry. I say now is the time to not take a gamble with another young left handed pitcher

So what do people think Mad Bum’s ultimate ceiling could be, or a worthy comp?
I’m thinking Cliff Lee if he can further develop his secondary pitches, mostly due to his build and command of the strike zone. Obviously I’m not trying to say he will become the Cliff Lee of today that’s one of the best pitcher’s in baseball, but something similar to his type of pitcher, a strike throwing, innings eating, efficient lefty who can be a legit top of the rotation starter. And I guess with him being only 20, he could still potentially turn into the ace pitcher that he was billed as after his 2008 season in Augusta.
He will need to throw a little harder to have a ceiling like Cliff Lee. It is not unheard of. Brett Anderson never had a 96 MPH fast ball. Until one day last year. All of a sudden, he was throwing 95+.

Lee doesn’t throw much harder than 92 though. Lee has really good breaking pitches though. His curve and changeup are pretty awesome.
Obviously if Mad Bum ever throws even harder it won’t hurt since his fastball is pretty damn effective. Luckily his breaking pitches seem to be a lot better than they were, and he has plenty of time to improve them. Poor Brett Anderson, that kid is awesome. I hope he can stay healthy soon. :(

There are some shortstops to be had on the trade market. One that comes to mind is the Cubs’ Ryan Theriot, who is being squeezed out by rookie Starlin Castro. Theriot might give the Giants additional insurance at the top of the lineup, too, should Andres Torres’ awakening hit the snooze bar.
A few weeks ago, a source close to Theriot indicated to me that he heard the Giants could have some interest. I ran it by my club sources and was told his name hasn’t come up yet. But I’ll keep checking.

I don't know this
But isn’t the Red Sox SS injured, everyone else on their team is, they could trade Renteria for consulting services from Theo. Everytime Sabes wants to do something he has to call Theo who will then explain to him why what he’s trying to do is idiotic.

I guess there’s some good 2B, but with utley out that takes a big hit. Zobrist FTW! Though even he’s been struggling.

How come he didn’t drill Fielder then? And how come no one was hit after Posey got drilled (the curveball to Fielder’s Bengie Molina-esque fat ass doesn’t count.) Someone needs to get hit today.

I wonder if they have the same layout for Raiders games. There’s gotta be more people that show up to those games.
They could be Giants...but not really.
In fact
Average attendance at home games:
Raiders – 44,284
Athletics – 17,855
They could be Giants...but not really.

I also like the way Germany has been playing a lot more than the way Spain has been playing.
Spain is a really great team, but nothing makes me madder than dicking around with passes in the box. Shoot the fucking ball! Take your chances on a second chance ball if you have to! Spain was the worst team about that in the round robin. They’ve been better about it since single elim. started, but it bothered me enough during round robin that I haven’t forgiven them.
And David Villa bothers me too for some reason.
