Post-game Thread: Giants run back opening kick for touchdown, stomp on Brewers
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 7, 2010 8:38 PM PDT

PrintWell, that was fun.
That’s as pretty of a win probability graph as you’ll ever see, made even better by the strong Posey influence. The immovable object (the dense suck of the Giants hitting) met the irresistible force (the dense suck of the Brewers pitching), and the outcome was pleasing.
And if OPS can be adjust for league and ballpark to come up with OPS+, something similar could be done for this game. Adjusting for team, the Giants scored the equivalent of 23 runs. Though when you adjust for the Brewers’ pitching, the adjusted total drops right back to 15. It takes a pretty special pitching staff to negate the Giants’ downward adjustment. There’s a decent chance that the Giants won’t get to 27 runs in the 18-game season series against the Padres, but the Brewers have allowed 27 runs to the Giants in the first three games of this series. That’s pretty special.
Tim Lincecum was throwing 92-94, getting swingthroughs with his change. Pablo Sandoval had an at-bat against a left-hander that was actually okay. Buster Posey raised his season lines to .331/.366/.504. Jeremy Affeldt had the old Affeldt curve working -- even in a blowout,that’s nice to see.
Also, Buster Posey. And Tim Lincecum. With Buster Posey. Good game.

I almost thought it had been edited because his objection – a passionate one – seemed to come from out of thin air, but we all have our hues.
I wonder if maybe he was burdened by issues outside MCC and it exacerbated his perception. And no, it didn’t help that no one took him seriously at first – which is sort of understandable given the everyday banter here.

"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."
Even assuming the Rockies are back to their old selves, I’m still incredibly happy after tonight’s win. Everything that happened was really good in the big-picture, not just this game. Buster showed some power, Lincecum had his old stuff back (against a non-laughable Brewers offense) and even Panda looked a little more Kung Fu-esque. Those three guys plus Cain, Bumgarner, and (hopefully) Sanchez are the core of our team going forward. Honestly, I’d trade any chance we have this season for assurances that they’d be back to their old dominant selves going forward (except Posey because he really has always been his awesome self… tonight was just a little awesomer).
BTW— Three cheers for Grant for the reverse Posey-jinx. Meeting expectations… lol.

Renteria and whiteside had back to back 2 strike rbi singles to make it 12-1 and 13-1. That is not good news for us, hopefully bork was sleeping in the dugout.

Forget it.
As long as you unbalance your caloric intake/output you ought to be fine.
A rude way of monitoring how your body is handling the load is pulse rates – resting, max, recovery.
The pocket formula we used back in the day – which is by no means exact or even near state of the art – was to subtract your age from 220, and that was your max HR. Call it your red zone. The idea was to hang around 80% of that as long as you could. Of course if you were unconditioned you wanted to lower your expectations somewhat.
A ten second (or whatever interval you wanted) pulse reading while you were doing your whatever gave you an idea of how your body was responding.
You could see how easy or hard it was to get near that 80%, also how quickly once you stopped your body recovered.

Sometimes getting out is the hardest part.
It’s easier if you’re meeting someone to do your stuff with. You’ll allow yourself to make hours of lame excuses but you don’t want to let anyone else down.
But if you’re doing it solo – just bear down, don’t get distracted by stuff like those insidious computers or televisions and get on the outside of your front door.

For the rest of the year, I trust Rent to hit with a higher average. Uribe will have more dingers and ribeyes.
He had a .326 average after his great start. And a .300 average now. So he’s hit about .270 since he came back and that’s with a real bad stretch recently.

he got better when he came back. Up to .345. Dropped off this last week. SSS.

Let's bring the...
I don’t think he has played enough to be the scapegoat, and I think that is the issue. If he played more and had this average we would be fine. I think he just needs to stay healthy, I know that is impossible to ask of him because it is out of his control. He looks good when he gets some rest, maybe he doesn’t need to play every day to be effective.

no argument there on an upgrade. Just don’t think Uribe is that much of a upgrade. Uribe will continue to regress and isn’t that much better on defense. The minors are a toss up.

I am ok with the situation we have now. I would like Uribe to get healthy and see where this Renteria thing rides out in the mean time. I am just not expecting Rent to return to Atlanta form.

why why why would you trade a lefty with a sub 3 era and strikeout stuff for a flash in the pan outfielder who’s skills wouldnt translate to ATT. Sanchez should get us a hitter with matching potential.

I wouldn't trade that kind of pitcher for Hart
But Jonathan doesn’t have a sub-3 ERA. And yes, he has strikeout stuff. But he also has walk stuff too. I think you overestimate Sanchez’s trade value substantially. Hart is exactly the type of hitter that Sanchez is worth.

One word is all to it. Corey Hart I like the guy on my pokemonz, but seriously sanchey gone would leave a huge hole in our rotation unless we get zambrano first don’t want that deal at all. Yes Sanchez walks alot, but a lefty with that type of strikeout stuff is a potential cy young winner mlb 2009 the show proves it in a simulated season with tulo being the mvp. Again first talk zambrano then jump on this deal.

Different literatures count differently. For instance, older literatures (in my field, sociology, anyway) primarily about European immigrants would count only the first American-born generation as the “first generation”. But Asian American studies literatures tend to refer to the immigrant generation itself as the first generation and the first American-born generation as the second generation.

Yeah but I wonder how much the Rays will be willing to keep Upton here pretty soon. He will make more in arbitration after this year and he’s been getting progressively worse at the plate since his good year in 2007. They also have Jennings knocking on the door. Plus the whole issues of him dogging it in the field this year. I’m of the opinion that both he and the Rays would be better off parting ways. Doing such a thing might help them keep Crawford.
The question is whether he qualifies as a “great talent” anymore.

Yeah, really, you’re looking at a guy with a .694 OPS over almost 1000 PA. He’s talented, sure, but he hasn’t been very good in awhile.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Exactly. He’s a huge underachiever. And his play just continues to get worse. Which is why I think it might save his career if he gets a chance somewhere else.
It’s kinda funny how underachieving the Young and Upton brothers have been. They were all huge prep stars and high 1st round draft picks and all broke into the majors with early success and seemed primed for superstardom and then just dropped off the face of the earth and became enigmas.
There’s still hope for Justin I think but he really needs to be more consistent at the plate.
Well, Justin is just 22 and a year removed from a 126 OPS+, so it’s charitable of you to say there’s still hope for him.
BJ, of course, is only 25 (hard to believe), but at least while Justin has struggled at times, he’s still put up mostly decent numbers. And Justin doesn’t appear to have the attitude problems that have cropped up from time to time with BJ.
I do think a change of scenery could do him well, though.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Well, but BJ is more valuable defensively, and is also a fantastic baserunner. Justin has been better this year, but not by that much. And BJ’s current BABIP is 50 points below his career average.
I was promised lasagna.
Despite the considerable boost BJ gets for playing CF, Justin’s been worth 6.5 WAR to BJ’s 3.2 the last two years.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
True
But if we increase it to 3 years (or, really, 2.5, since this isn’t a full year), Justin is only better by one run. Per 650 PA’s, Justin is better by half a win.
So yeah, Justin seems better, especially considering the age, by I don’t know by how much. I still expect a bounce back from BJ, and I’m not that optimistic about Justin. He’s got serious contact issues, and his line is carried by a BABIP in the .350’s. Yeah, he’s been doing it for over two years now, but so did his brother when he came up, and turns out that he couldn’t keep it up.
I was promised lasagna.

Plus Kent never hit 40, only hit over 30 three times, and those were …bonds, steroids, etc. inflated.

He is, but he’s consistently improved over the past few seasons now, and had he played more (got hurt less) he might have already been credited as having broke out. His last 2 seasons are pretty much on par with everything he’s doing this year except that his walk rate has increased like 4 % this year.
His OPS+ is still 20 points higher than his previous career high. There’s nothing wrong with that, but dismissing DeJesus because he’s having a “career year” is silly.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
DeJesus is having a career year due batting average and BABIP. Willingham is having a career year due to an increase in walk rate. I’ll take the walk rate guy as the one more likely to sustain his numbers.
I like both of them, for the record.

back, phone call
you are right about their minor pitching depth, but i think TX has concern over Lewis (unproven+regression), CJ wilson( durability ) with Harden on the DL , they were looking at lights of Lee and Oswalt. but prolly won’t be to trade for them due bankruptcy stipulations.
while i don’t think it’s likely to happen, i think sabez could throw out Sanchez name and see if the arb eligible cruz is available.
I’m sure they have concern about some of their pitchers, but Jonathan Sanchez isn’t exactly a reliable arm to trade for if they have playoff aspirations.

He hasn’t really been that bad for a catcher (1.0 WAR so far), but certainly a huge disappointment.

Saw it at Walmart yesterday and was curious.
That’d be nice, but pat riley has a better chance of coaching the warriors this season than david lee does coming over in a sign and trade.
"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 deal is already in place with the knicks
but I doubt Lee agrees to coming here
The only way he’d be interested in playing for the warriors if he was a huge stoner. He will refuse the trade and all hell will break loose. Hopefully the warriors can trade monta to the knicks and rid themselves of the guard version of amare stoudamire.
"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."
agreed on the last point
I’d trade him for an expiring contract straight up at this point. He’s just too much of a tweener defensively and inefficient offensively. The satisfaction of him not being on the payroll for the next 3-4 years and Curry being allowed to run the show will be enough for me.
A lot of teams actually view monta as a valuable asset to their team. The warriors need to trade him ASAP and get someone to eat that contract. It doesn’t really matter what you get in return, just gotta get rid of monta before he’s so injury prone he has 0 value.

We can relax. He’s a major league catcher now because he’s a been a major league catcher.

Rosterbating ftw
Who would you rather take a chance on in the off-season via trade? Grady Sizemore (he of the back to back injury seasons) or BJ Upton?
When healthy Sizemore is clearly the better player but comes with a bigger contract and some serious injury issues. Knee, elbow and others over the past 2 years. He was absolutely terrible this year until he was shut down and forced to have season ending surgery.
Upton has all the talent in the world but has regressed terribly since 2007, and has failed to capitalize on said talent. He’s also had issues with injuries over the past few years, and is due a raise in arbitration this winter.
Who do you think would be easier to acquire? Who would you want to get? What do you think would be a fair package for that player’s services?

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

How much worse would our rotation look with Zambrano swapped for Sanchez?
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
It would be fine. But it’s not likely.

I learned that Taishanese is a language tonight!
Also, that there are some amazingly cute videos of kids singing songs in Taishanese on the internet.
Also, damn I gotta learn another language.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Oy
I gotta be functional though and learn the language of people who take advantage of public health services on the west coast.
So basically it’s improving my Spanish, learning Cantonese or Russian. Maybe some Nahuatl.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
I don’t think it would be a downgrade and would be a potential upgrade.
But I also don’t think it will ever happen.

Just thinking that getting Zambrano would make up for losing Sanchez for Hart.

J. Sanchez for Willingham
then Rowand for Zambrano?

impressed by Donnie Yen in IP Man, dojo scene was craaaaazy.
One other thing I’ve noticed about Posey: He stops to sign a lot of autographs. But he tells people upfront that he only signs for kids. I think that’s admirable.
Liar. I saw it on the broadcast that he stopped and signed the “marry me posey” sign for that girl. No joke.

So I have a phone interview with Google during the last hour of the game
should I keep the game on? don’t think I want to randomly shout BUSTER!!! in the middle of creating a sort a linked list algorithm.
I didn't know this
There is a link between Stephen Strasburg, Thomas Neal and draft pick Brett Bochy. They were teammates for some youth team in San Diego.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Ugh, I went to go read Baggs’s blog to see if people were still complaining about various things and no one’s complaining that Buster “isn’t ready” anymore, but there is one guy going nuts over how Buster shouldn’t play catcher and talented hitters should never play catcher.

There’s this one Twitter account from a pro-Bengie, anti-Buster zealot that I can’t stand. I blocked the account but every now and then I’ll see a retweet that’s like an instant facepalm. Last night it was along the lines of, “It’s not fun being a Giants fan right now.”
15 runs, 4 HRs, 10Ks and it wasn’t fun? LOL HATERS GOTTA HATE but come on.
They could be Giants...but not really.
Wut?
It’s maybe not fun being a Bengie Molina fan right now.

against LHP, I don’t hate this. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. Considering a banged up Uribe and a banged up Buster.

Uribe should have recieved regular rest after hurting himself against the A's
Instead bork continued to play him every single day non stop thinking his gritty gamer vet would magicially stay healthy. Smart move there bruce the douche, mark derosa is envious.

breaking
This Afternoon’s Giants Vs Brewers game has been cancelled due to concerns of potential psychological and physical breakdowns Milwaukees players with a possible fourth consecutive ass whooping by the west coast menace known as the Giants. Here are some of the quotes came out lockerroom this morning.
" they should be in a different league’ – MGR Ken Macha when asked about the Giants
’ i know some of the guys don’t want to say it, but i am scare, that lineup …."- Manny Parra
’ I just want to rip up my uniform and run to that other dugout and join the darkside’- Corey Hart
’ uh, it’s tough to admit, but i have a man crush on Buster , he is better looking and long dingerz better than me’ – Ryan Braun
’ I would love to play for bochy, he is likely genius in a fatherly way’ – Cecil Fielder
’ he can throw 10 dif pitchers with his fastballs, how in the mofo am I suppose to compete with that ’- Rickie Weeks on Zito

Buster's line this week so far:
11-15, 5 HR, 8 R, 14 RBI, 2 BB
I bet people thought I was crazy when I picked him for my fantasy team at the start of the season.
I came, I saw, I told bad jokes and left.
Wow. Most of this epicly long thread actually is about baseball—-outside of the Cantonese/Mandarin tangent.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
No one’s really posting on the OT threads. People just must be trying to avoid being OT in these threads.
