Post-game thread: Giants sweep Brewers
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 8, 2010 2:59 PM PDT
Email
PrintI always wondered what it was like for people who followed the teams the Giants were playing. When their team won because the Giants hit into double plays, stranded a dozen runners, and somehow turned every bases loaded/no out opportunity into a single run (if they were lucky), did they feel guilty? Was the thrill of victory tainted by the taint of pity?* Did the win feel any worse than a regular win.
No. No, it feels pretty good.
After the unpleasantness of Colorado, this feels pretty good. The Brewers aren't an especially complete team -- their pitching just gave up 36 runs to the Giants, which is something as amazing and unrepeatable as Dimaggio's hitting streak -- but they're the kind of team that can give the Giants fits. The Brewers:
- Have an offense that's good enough to ding up good pitchers, and...
- Have a pitching staff filled with pitchers who wear hats and throw with either their left or right arms -- exactly the kind of pitchers who give the Giants trouble.
So there's no sense in minimizing this series sweep. If the Giants go into Lake Elsinore and take a four-game series from the Storm, it's a kind of a big deal.
Now let's all wait for the Corey Hart trade to be announced so we can watch him limp into the Giants' clubhouse. That really is must-see TV.
*Don't Google that phrase without SafeSearch on.

2. It came form Mychael Urban.
3. He cited 2 MLB sources, no doubt decent, in Milwaukee.

I want to, however, package him to trade UP, not down or lateral. I consider this a lateral move. But meh, if it is Hart, so be it.

it's easier to find a 4th starter
than a youngish right fielder. Pitchers want to come here. Hitters don’t. You have to overpay for hitters to come here (usually).
You trade pitching for Hitting, then you pick up pitchers. I am not sold on Jonathan Sanchez, and he’s not young or cheap anymore.

How is Jonathan Sanchez a 4th starter? He’s a 4th starter only on the best pitching staff in baseball.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
He doesn’t go deep enough into games, walks too many, compensates his walks by strike outs but is getting by this year on a 14% LD and lower BABIP than career.
You cannot sustain 14% lind drive, when that corrects plus the 4.8 BB/9, coupled with the inability to go deeper into games, makes him a 4th starter.

With all his inability to pitch deeper into games, he’s on pace for almost 200 IP.
I was promised lasagna.
150 2 years ago, 163 last year. He’s on pace for 200 this year, but drawing conclusions mid year is dangerous. A couple of short starts and all of a sudden he won’t be on pace for even 180.

He didn’t start the whole year in either of those years, though. Last year he was moved to the pen for a while, and the year before they replaced him with someone (Misch, I think).
He was a reliever in 2006 and 2007, so it’s not surprising it took him time to build up stamina. He might still be below average in that regard, but that doesn’t make him a below average starter. He’s above average at run-preventing (not just his ERA, which is certainly fluky – his FIP is above average too), so overall I’d say he’s at least average, probably better.

he’s the 26th best starter (by WAR) in the NL this year (52nd in MLB)
So that puts him pretty squarely as a “consensus” #2 starter.

if we trade Sanchez
Bumgarner becomes 4th starter and Joey? Wellenmyer? becomes 5th starter.
If one starter gets hurt, as you know, pitchers do… then where are we?
And to pick up Corey Hart? Is he really that much of an upgrade over Burrell? What is his contract status?
The other problem with shipping out Sanchez is that he’s still cheap.

Away … 1090 . 74-15-37…. 76-238 … .269-.320-.466-.786 .. .310 ….. 94
I don’t see him being that great an upgrade over Burrell. Might be nice to have Burrell as a RH-hitting power bat off the bench late, but I actually have liked Burrell in the lineup so far. I guess the problem with Burrell has to do with sustainability of the numbers he’s putting up right now.
If the trade is (basically) Sanchez – for – Hart, I’m in the “Against” camp right now.

That means playing Huff in the OF the rest of the year. Ugh.
They need to trade for a LH hitting RFer or a SS (Hanley Ramirez anyone?)

THIS
I was going to ask everybody who they would want if the Giants could only upgrade at one position. This includes middle relief, which is clearly another need.
Not sure I agree.
Some of the guys are struggling a bit, but they’ve been good so I think they’ll be OK there. Certainly not their biggest need.
although…..with Runzler going down, may need a LHRP. Looks like Espinelli, Ramirez or Paterson

Unless Bautista suddenly starts pitching left-handed, he is useless to our team. I get that the Giants don’t really have a swingman/long-reliever, but too many of the swings make contact and he doesn’t last very long.

“That’s when I delved systematically into all of my recollections into prior relationships, and retrieved the relationship with Gloria James,” he said.
The lawsuit claims Stovell met James’ mother in a Washington bar and restaurant in 1984, where she was visiting from Ohio. She was 16 at the time, Stovell says, and they had sex only once.
He says he was informed by Gloria James months later that she was pregnant. He claims she told him the child would be named LeBron, similar to Leicester Bryce, Stovell’s first and middle names.

I’m just saying, being the center of sports media since around the age of 20 definitely changes your personality, especially with some of the personalities that already exist in the NBA.
Reasons, maybe. Excuses, no. Man up and stop being a dick.

That Heat team would not be as good as 1986 Celts
Bird (HOF) – McHale (HOF) – Parish (HOF) – Dennis Johnson (HOF) – Ainge – Walton (over the hill HOF, came off the bench)
For that matter the 1985 and 1987 Lakers teams had three Hall of Fame starters (Kareem, Magic, Worthy).
The only thing unusual about the Heat situation would be that it’s orchestrated by the players themselves.
Hart/Sanchez/Zambrano/Rowand
No way do I give up Sanchez. Having the ability to throw a quality starter out every single day is a terrific luxury. (that assumes Zito is a qulaity starter but hey I can dream)
If its a minor league pitcher plus Nate I’d think about it. But i don’t see the Brewers pulling that trigger.
Now if the Giants first obtained Zambrano and then did the deal, it might make some sense. Zambrano has been very good at times. If he pulls his head out of his ass (and that is a huge if) he would be a good pick up.

As I recall they had a decent one in 2002 (Turkey vs South Korea, who both had to be pretty happy just to have gotten as far as they did). I suppose there might be a bit of that attitude for Uruguay as well, since they hadn’t even made it as far as the knockout round since 1990.
Germany, on the other hand, have got to be very disappointed to be playing for 3rd place again, just like in 2006.

Buike’s knee is all sorts of fucked up, so that’s not good. Randolph looks like an all star sometimes and a bust the other times. the only thing that i want to see if this happens is a GOOD SF, if this doesn’t happen then there’s a problem

I just dont want to see Randolph be an all star for the knicks in a few years. I mean how many times do the warriors pass on players in the draft or they become all stars after they leave. I really dont want to see that happen again. Why are we offering so much anyway? Is anyone else coming close to offering someone like Randolph

Well, this is my whole deal on “randolph being an allstar” time will tell. Want to know what that tells ya? it’s all scouting, and just poor ownership that they pass on guys like KG or Kobe, it was all because they didn’t want to risk it on a high schooler.

When I told Runzler he gets the strikeout, he turned and sneered in Bumgarner’s direction.
"Way to go Bummy," Runzler said. "Why couldn’t you hit a home run for me?"
They could be Giants...but not really.
"Barry was struggling," Bochy said. "I gave him a couple chances. And 113 pitches in four-plus is a lot of work. I didn’t want the game to get away."
Zito said he was "pissed off, being at 100-however-many pitches through five. I was happy with the way I battled. But walking six guys, there’s no excuse for that."
Was any of his anger directed at Bochy?
"No comment on that," Zito said. "The important thing is we won. We had a great time in Milwaukee. That tough road trip is looking a lot better now."
They could be Giants...but not really.
LOL ZITO
I’d be pissed too..
"There he goes. One of god's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
true

"There he goes. One of god's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
I didn't want to let the game get away either
that’s why I would have had Bautista packing his bags for Fresno rather than throwing baseballs in the general direction of home plate.

It was the right call. Zito had thrown a ton of pitches, and had been very wild to begin with. Bautista isn’t good, but I’ll definitely take him over an exhausted Zito having a bad day.

This is classic Bochy
He does it all the time. Take a guy who had a terrible outing the day before and run him out the very next day to get himself right. I don’t have a problem with that strategy in general — it works a lot of the time — but a high leverage spot like this wasn’t the right time to try it.

No
Even if he meant to tase him, it’s still voluntary manslaughter. If I punch you in the face and you die, that’s voluntary manslaughter. I didn’t mean to kill you but I did something that might kill you. Same with the taser. The guy was helpless, pinned on his stomach. There was no need to taser him, but Mehserle went to do so anyway, probably to scare the other people around. And tasers sometimes cause death.
This guy was charged with involuntary manslaughter for pretty much that exact thing – pleaded down to assault.

One of his defenses was that he accidentally drew his gun when he meant to draw his taser.
The jury obviously believed something like that. No one is going to stop you from second guessing the jury, but this is the system we have and they are the ultimate fact finder. They’re the ones who heard the evidence.
And the burden on the prosecution is beyond a reasonable doubt. They obviously didn’t meet their burden.

Hopefully that means “selling extremely high on corey hart, not interested in what the giants have to offeR”.
"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 brewers won’t just decided to shop corey hart and trade him to the giants. They will let everyone know and shop around like the mariners GM is going right now and get the biggest return. Hopefully sabean continues to low ball and go by the “his numbers are padded by miller park” theory because I do not want this career year having horrible defender polluting right field for the next 2 years.

Strasburg didn’t think he was qualified to be a National League All-Star after a half-dozen starts in the Majors.
“You look at the guys that are going to the All-Star Game and look at the years they have had, they have done that from Opening Day,” he said. “I haven’t been here since Opening Day. They deserve it. Hopefully, someday I’ll deserve it, too.”

"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 would say "definitely" and not "slightly" better
it’s wayyyy better. Because at least the pitcher actually DID something to limit the other team’s scoring. A win just means the pitcher went at least 5 innings and had a better offense than the other guys. That’s it.

The thing that throws me is I’m not quite sure what defines a quality start. 7 IP, 3 runs or less? 2 runs? 6 IP, 2 runs or less? Also, if a pitcher has a line of 6 IP 7H 5 BB 5K 2R or something a quality start? A 2.00 WHIP isn’t too fantastic to me.
6 IP, 3 or fewer ER
that’s a QS. No matter what the other stats are

Questionable pass rush, inconsistent OL, inconsistent-to-possibly-bad QB play should be enough for 9-7 or maybe 10-6, but no noise in the playoffs. I’ll grant you that inconsistency is a problem on a lot of teams and 10-6 is a pretty good record, all things considered. I don’t think the Niners are dreadful, but I am highly skeptical of their ability to be a top 10 team in THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
Inconsistent OL has been addressed
Davis and Iupati are going to be good from day 1. That happens with OL all the time. And I’m not touching the smith thing. He’s going to be good.

secondary seems suspect to me. pass rush was actually good last year which was a huge surprise.
Niners have to not regress on defense, and come up with an offense. If the OL gels, I don’t think the QB matters much. If it’s bad again, they will be mediocre again.

Nick swisher, what a fucking joke. Must be nice having those padded numbers (that aren’t even that impressive) playing in that stacked line up and pathetic ball park. Nick swisher is extremely over-rated and is playing way above his head, where as kevin youkillis is having a way better season carrying a injured red sox team and gets NO RESPECT fuck this fan voting shit, it’s staged.

IIRC at a Giants game not long ago they were giving something away if you took an inch-thick stack of completed ballots somewhere. Last night on Pinstripe Alley people were comparing vote totals. It, like “this time it counts”, is dumb.
But I like Swisher and look forward to seeing him if I bother to watch that silly game. And one less Red Sox player in the news is an improvement.

I remember when cliff lee was traded by ruben amaro jr, I called it one of the worst trades in MLB history and was mocked non stop by phillies fans and baseball “experts” alike. That was the worst trade I have ever witnessed (worse than the nathan trade IMO) and ruben amaro jr went from being a great GM to being a impatient moron who was more interested in “restocking the farm” than ensuring his team a easy coast to the NL pennant.

I think this is incorrect
As I understand it, taxes for NBA (and MLB) players are computed on a per-game basis. So LeBron, if he played for the Heat, would still owe state income taxes for the 30 or so games he played in states that did have them. Conversely, if he were with the Knicks, he’d only owe NY state taxes on half his salary, but then he’d owe additional taxes in other states.
That’s gotta be awesome for the accountants who get to bill the athletes for filling out 20 different state tax forms.

From Wiki
“Cleveland Rocks” is a rock song by Ian Hunter from his 1979 album You’re Never Alone with a Schizophrenic. The song is seen as a de facto anthem in Cleveland, Ohio.1 The song was played every Friday at 6:00 PM on Cleveland radio station WMMS beginning in 1979 and is sometimes used as a victory song for the city’s sports teams. In recognition of “Cleveland Rocks”, Hunter was given the key to the city by Cleveland mayor Dennis Kucinich on June 19, 1979.2

They’ve been needing to send a reliever down, anyway since they’ve been carrying 13 pitchers. We may see Downs, RyRohl or Burriss. Or even Bowker, but I doubt that — outfield is pretty crowded.
If they send Bautista down, we should see Joey Martinez. The only other lefty reliever on the 40 man is Hinshaw.

the term “rock n’ roll” was coined by a DJ in cleveland, so yeah.

Nah...not really...kinda sorta...but plenty used the phrase long before Alan Freed...
An Ella Fitzgerald song from 1937 has a line that exclaims, “So won’t you satisfy my soul with that rock and roll”
Huey Lewis said
“The heart of rock n’ roll is still beatin… in Cleveland”
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.

Alan Freed was a DJ in Cleveland when he coined the phrase “Rock and Roll”. I know this because I used to watch the movie American Hot Wax every chance I got; now I can’t watch it anymore, because one of the young actors was Jay Leno.

As you’d expect there was a lot of idiots taking shots at the giants for the trade. Everyone was insisting on his great defense and “value behind the plate” and some people went as far as to use the “great clutch hitter” line. It was mostly national media douches who hadn’t seen bengie play in years, except for jeff fletcher of course.

That’s the all-time best episode of that show. Andy discovers his young girlfriend is cheating on him with a guy at her high school. Dwight explains that the watermark of Mickey screwing Donald is an accurate depiction of farm animal sex. Michael goes ballistic on the uptight, ungrateful customer who refused to accept his apology. Angela works customer service and refuses to apologize to a customer, culminating in her shocked “He just hung up on me. I think he had Tourette’s or something”. And Creed deflects the blame on a hapless paper mill employee, who is fired for his failure to do a QA check at the paper mill; in the end, he pockets the collection he takes up for her at the office.
And it has Creed’s greatest quote of all time: “Every Tuesday, I’m supposed to do a QA check at the paper mill. And the one year that I blow it off, this happens.”
Eliminate that pesky Dominatrix in one easy step. Step 1: Tell her you're a Cubs fan!

but I think my favorite Creedism is “I’ve been in a lot of cults, both as a leader and as a follower. You have more sex as a follower… but you make more money as a leader.”

“Booze Cruise” is my personal favorite, though. It was the moment where I got the “Michael as sympathetic” angle… really took the show to another level, IMO.

But it's so fun to laugh at the knicks!
Acting ambivalent about James was an interesting party line to put out given the Knicks genuinely weren’t 100 percent sure that James was about to jilt them. But they could see the likelihood as well as anyone, and they were already spinning the news and perhaps even throwing some wood on a new Heat-Knicks rivalry by saying over and over how “some people” — presumably LeBron and Bosh — just aren’t “cut out” for the bright lights and big stage and “challenges” of New York like their new guy Stoudemire is.
Endless LOLS, can’t wait for daily amare knee updates everyday on ESPN.
"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."
then again...
Kobe basically demanded he only be drafted by certain teams coming into the league. We’re supposed to villify LeBron because he didn’t want to play for Cleveland anymore when he became a free agent? I agree that the TV special was a terrible way to break the news, but come on. The guy came into the league and played hard for the team that drafted him for 6 seasons. He became a free agent, and he turned down money to play where he wanted to play. It’s not his fault that the Cavs were too inept to build a team around him.

Well, I mean, there are definitely more than a few idiots out there, but there are also people who are legitimately protesting because time and again they have been underrepresented and screwed by the people who are supposed to protect them, not to mention the system that is supposed to check and regulate those same people. There are real reasons for those people to be out there, and I don’t want to take anything away from the people who are out there peacefully for those reasons.
I won’t condone the idiots, though.

Thank you all for the many kind thoughts. That is an insufficient response, but please take the thought for the deed.
(Fortunately, it’s not bad: basal metabolism dropping from lowering thyroid function, which I gather is one of those gifts old Father Time brings every so often. Lethargy, relatively quick major weight gain with no lifestyle changes, feeling cooler than normal, needing more sleep, all of what one would expect. But, based on friends’ experiences, a little magic pill daily will fix most or all of that right back up. We just need to get the blood labs back to set the dose.)

I don't understand SB Nation:
This is the second thread its software has done this to me: double-posted the headline, and ate the text on both posts.
To recreate it: I thank all above for the kind thoughts, which are above and beyond. “Thank” is in fact insufficient, but please take the thought for the deed.
(Fortunately, it turns out not to be serious. The symptoms—lethargy, relatively quick major weight gain with no lifestyle changes, feeling cool, needing more sleep—apparently arise from a slowing basal metabolism, which in turn comes from declining thyroid function. This, it seems, is just one of those little gifts that Father Time brings every so often. From friends’ experiences with it, a little magic pill a day—albeit for life—should clear up most or all issues tolerably. The doc is just waiting for the blood labs to come back to set a dosage for me.)
