Giants/Padres series preview

Ugh. Once upon a time, the Giants rolled into San Diego with an 8-4 record. They left 8-7. It’s okay, I thought. There’s no way the Padres are good. They just got lucky.
Then the Padres came to San Francisco when the Giants were 18-12 and doing pretty well. The Giants started the next series 18-15. Well, jeepers, I thought, that’s a mite frustrating. Especially since the Giants lost the last game at home despite allowing five hits, one walk, and one run, which is the template for how they lose to the Padres.
Then the Giants went into San Diego for a two-game series, promptly getting Cained in the first game. Well, jeepers, I thought, I just might set fire to a Franciscan monastery and giggle when they lock me up. A natural reaction. The Padres have magically screwed the Giants at every turn this year. When they get one hit, they win. When they allow one hit, they win. They bloop, they floop, and they flop base hits both of the times they get a runner to second in a game. They are...the most annoying team in the world. Hairstons everywhere, David Eckstein, and David Eckstein.
This ginger ale isn’t doing anything for the nausea. Maybe it needs a little kick...
Wait, though. Things could be different this time. Consider:
- We've got this guy Jose Guillen.
- He's got more power than ANY MAN ALIVE.
- He's going to fix EVERYTHING.
Wait, that’s not what I wanted to write. It just came out. Welcome to McCovey Chronicles: I love you.
No, here’s why things could be different. First, the Giants have a winning streak going against the Padres. Science.
Second, it’s hard not to like the lineup a lot more right now, even with Guillen. When the Giants lost a game in which they only allowed one hit, the starting outfield was Bowker/Velez/Schierholtz. Eli Whiteside was catching, though Bengie Molina did make an apperance as the Big Bat off the bench. All of this unpleasantness was before Torres morphed into the best leadoff hitter in the league, before Huff was a top-five hitter, before Pat Burrell rose forth from his own ashes, and before Buster Posey left his exile on Mount Ida to start at catcher. The Giants’ offense is almost average now, Padres, so take that. If this were an ‘80s movie, there would have been a nice montage for you to watch so you could see how it happened.
Don’t get me wrong. The Giants could lose every single game in the series. I’m just not going to assume it’s because the Padres have some sort of mental headlock on the Giants. It’s a different team. The Padres will have to come up with a new curse. Which they could. It’s possible. I’ll shut up now.
Hitter to watch:
Oh, just pick one of the Padres outfielders hitting under .230. Hairston? Gwynn? Venable?
Wait, that’s right, they traded for Ryan Ludwick, who is actually good. The Giants countered that move by sticking a rook up their nose trading for Jose Guillen. So let’s watch this epic slapfight and see how it plays out. I can’t wait!
Pitcher to watch:
Luke Gregerson? Tim Stauffer? Clayton Richard? Wade LeBlanc? Jon Garland? Joe Thatcher? Mike Adams? Ryan Webb? What kind of private school lacrosse team crap is this? Are they all going to stand on their chairs and recite "O Captain! My Captain!" before they take the mound? I bet they listen to Dave Matthews as they tie their sweaters around their neck. Out of protest, I’m picking Edward Mujica as the pitcher to watch.
Prediction
Sunday will be an awesome game. I had great seats, but instead I’ll be going to the San Francisco Zoo because people in Yo Gabba Gabba! costumes will be there too. So there will be at least one unassisted triple play, possibly two, and Buster Posey will take out Scott Hairston in an attempt to break up a double play. Hairston will be playing left field at the time. And I’ll miss it. Because people in Yo Gabba Gabba! costumes will be at the zoo. Remember this, all of you students out there, and don't forget the condoms tonight.

It would be awesome if the Royals traded him here, paid for him, then took him back as the PTBNL.
I mean, it’s pretty much the best possible outcome.

Sabean's stupid
He’s not THAT stupid. No way it’s Belt, or any of the top 20 or so prospects. We got Fontenot for Evan Crawford, and Guillen got DFA’d and we’re probably paying most of his salary. Some random minor league filler, I’m guessing.

To doubt the Giants will sweep is to doubt the word of Jonathan Sanchez. And since there has never, ever been a reason to doubt Sanchez in any capacity before, that means these three games are in the bag.

Starting with his second no-no tonight.
Remember when Koufax and Drysdale were on the hitless Dodgers in the ’60’s, and Drysdale was home getting treatment for his shoulder and someone told him Koufax had thrown another no-hitter, and Drysdale asked ‘yeah, but did we win.’
That’s us v. Padres.

Reasons for optimism
The last time we played the Padres, this was our lineup:
Rowand CF
Torres LF
Sandoval 3B
Huff 1B
Uribe SS
Schierholtz RF
Whiteside C
Downs 2B
Sanchez P
And we WON that game.

If this were an ‘80s movie, there would have been a nice montage for you to watch so you could see how it happened.
I was watching Running Scared the other night with Billy Crystal & Gregory Hines. The montage where they went down to Florida & decide to buy a bar has got to be the cheesiest of cheesy 80s montages. In the end, the guys are signing loan documents in midriff tops. They high five each other and SKATE out of the bank in their short shorts and knee high socks. It was awesome.

I’ve turned my gf into a giants fan and I have her all excited for this series. Today, she asked if we could watch it at a bar at which point I had to let her in on the truth about “East Coast Bias” and explain that, no, we can never watch giants games on anything other than our laptop because, damn it, the Red Sox are playing the Orioles (or similar series).
I guess it’s important that she learn to deal with disappointment now… in case we make it into the playoffs.
Nicely done turning her into a Giants fan. My girlfriend is going to take a lot more convincing. She feigns support, but she’d rather watch Project Runway.

Part of the great clubhouse vibe stems from the high-character Latin players on the team. Juan Uribe, Edgar Renteria, Andres Torres, Guillermo Mota … step out of line while representing the fraternal Latin "brand" and you’ll get pulled aside in a heartbeat.
That does sound…intimidating.

There’s too much ego in this business and you have to make sure they’re in it to do what’s in the best interest for you. I’ll email you a link to my firm’s website and if you other questions, please feel free to ask.

I didn't mean defensively.
I’d rather have Huff and/or Burrell than Rowand. When I said outfielder, I was referring to the collective group of players on the San Francisco Giants that are widely considered to play in the outfield a majority of the time. (Then there’s huff, but he’s just different). i was also considering every part of their game, not just D. Sorry, I’m new here, and I guess I wasn’t being specific enough.

You can't solve your problems with the same level of thinking that created the problems - Albert Einstein to Brian Sabean
Ok, which one of y'all is Anthony Stalter?
Clearly hypnotized by his 16 homers this season, Sabean felt the need to add the outfielder despite the fact that Guillen is more useless than a chair with only two legs.
If I punch myself in the side of the head enough times and squint hard enough, I might see the need for Guillen as a pinch hitter. But there’s no way that the Giants actually believe this schmuck is a starter. Do you know how much ground there is to cover in right field at AT&T Park? Guillen would be an absolute train wreck and for what? A couple of home runs down the stretch? I thought that’s what Pat Burrell was for? Didn’t Sabean already acquire Pat Burrell already? I’m confused.
I’ve never see a man make so many stupid decisions and yet retain his job for 14 years. If Brian Sabean were the President of the United States, half the nation would be underwater right now.

Adopted brother of Jason Jarvis who is stuck in the baseball purgatory called extended spring training.
wtf guillen?
He was out for weeks after a knee injury sustained while he was putting on a shin guard and missed several days of spring training in 2009 after deciding to rip out an ingrown toenail with a pair of pliers.
i know he is supposed to be injury prone but that is ridiculous
BREAKING NEWS
but yeah its pretty stupid.

7.2 quake has struck south of the Mariana Islands, according to USGS http://on.cnn.com/9xWTRw
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
From wiki:
The Mariana Islands (also the Marianas; up to the early 20th century sometimes called Ladrones Islands, from Spanish Islas de los Ladrones meaning “Islands of Thieves”) are an arc-shaped archipelago made up by the summits of 15 volcanic mountains in the north-western Pacific Ocean between the 12th and 21st parallels north and along the 145th meridian east. They are south of Japan and north of New Guinea, and immediately to the east of the Philippine Sea. The south end of the Marianas chain is the island of Guam. The islands were named after Spanish Queen Mariana of Austria in the 17th century, when Spain started the colonization of the archipielago.

I see here in your profile that you have been on these boards since May of 2010, and your username “Padsin10” seems to suggest that you are a fan of the San Diego Padres.
For this year.
But I am sure I am reading too much into this and that you are not, in fact, a bandwagoning moron. In fact I am sure you are fan who no doubt could recite the opening day roster for the Pads. Or the record of the team last year.
You might be able to tell me the last time they made the playoffs, cause then it would have made sense to be paying attention to them.

it's all true. I talked of integrity earlier.
the killer was last year as I had the Rockies at 150-1 to win the NL.
I was actually being modest as there is one other baseball future I’ve made which was many years ago and that was the Braves to win the NL Pennant at 60-1 the year they lost in 7 to the Twins.

It’s funny how Rowand hits 8th on days Torres starts, but when Torres has a day off, Rowand is suddenly good enough to hit 1st.
funny?

I mean, the rules are the rules, but lol useless
Go jump in Toews Lake.
Aubrey: old German for king of the elves. Huff: English for...huff.
The key is not the bat itself
The key is momentum transfer. The residence time of the impact between the ball and the bat is sufficiently small that the mass of the bat (and by extension, the mass of the hitter) does not make an appreciable difference on momentum transferred to the ball.
Therefore, the bat speed is predominant factor in distance traveled. A corked bat is lighter, and therefore theoretically, allows for higher bat speed.

Hollowing out the bat and substituting cork changes the physical characteristics of the bat – it actually make for worse momentum transfer. Apparently.

Corking a bat is worthless,
but some players still try it. Who was it that tried using Superballs in his cork — Pete Rose? I think it broke at Wrigley and the Superballs went bouncing all over the infield. I’d still like to see Bochy come out and ask the umpires to look at Ludwick’s bat; though, after all the yapping about it, he’d be an enormous fool to use cork in this series.
by mrs. owlcroft on Aug 13, 2010 4:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Here's the M ythbusters' finding:
“This myth operates under the assumption that cork-filled bats can be swung faster because of their lighter weight, and that the springiness of the cork could propel the ball farther. To eliminate the human factor of the myth, Adam and Jamie constructed a special batting rig and used a pressurized air cannon to launch the baseball at it. Tests showed that the cannon could launch the ball 80 miles per hour, which is the average speed of most MLB pitches. Regulation bats could propel the ball away at 80 mph (130 km/h) while corked bats could only propel the ball 40 mph (64 km/h), half the speed of regulation bats. The reason was that cork bats have less mass to transfer force into the ball, and the cork actually absorbs some of the ball’s impact. The MythBusters concluded that using a cork filled bat will not improve performance (it will in fact hurt it), and the major league batters who were caught using cork-filled bats risked their careers for absolutely nothing.”
That myth was busted!

Dear San Francisco Giants
Men, you are ready to do this tonight
and you’re going to prove it today.
Why am I so confident? cause you did what was asked of you.
You know to stay patient at the plate
you know to to get ahead of the count
And you know the time has come to claim your place in the NL West
You went 1-7 against the Padres this season, but that’s behind you now.
I know you won’t feel any pressure
Pressure is something you feel when you are not prepared to do what you’re supposed to do
If you have not been there before, you’re scared and you’re nervous and you think of failure.
But if you’re prepared you want to be there to show people how good you’ve become
you’re not scared today because you’re totally prepared.
Men, when you go out there I want you to remember what it was like when you were eliminated last season
Being eliminated from the playoffs is not what we do here in San Francisco
when you google the words “win the pennant”, the first result is “The Giants Win The Pennant”
It is not : The Padres Win The Pennant
If you want to lose, the Dodgers just DFA’d Garrett Anderson and has roster spots available.
But that’s not what we do here in San Francisco. We’re here to win the pennant.
Men, if you go into the playoff race tonight and settle for being in contention when division title is available,
you’ll do it for the rest of your life.
You don’t want to settle for second place. You’re all winners.
There is talent on this team, that’s not the question. Its a matter of commitment.
You take Pride in what you do on this team.
Pride stands for Personal Responsibility In Daily Excellence
You play the Padres tonight and you crush them tonight.
Lets go.

I’m pulling out my tortured, oft-used “If Brian Sabean played blackjack” analogy:
If Brian Sabean played blackjack, the Aubrey Huff signing equals hitting on a three. Sure, why not? Maybe something good will happen. Dealer gives you a face card. Now you’ve got 13.
The Pat Burrell signing equals hitting on 13 and getting a 7. Now you’ve got 20. That’s excellent. It’s not blackjack, it’s not 21, but it’s pretty great.
The Jose Guillen trade is Brian Sabean looking at his 20, staring at the dealer and saying “hit me.”

But then analogy doesn’t work…Jose Guillen sucking won’t really do anything to the team…it will be basically the same…It’s not like Guillen going on the team will negate the Giant’s record to date…Also, they can always let him go or put him on the bench…
The moves need to viewed separately not together.
Decent metaphor
I guess it’s time to see if Sabean knows something we don’t – he could, after all, be counting cards.

Bochy talked with Guillen and sought character references from players, coaches and managers. Satisfied Guillen will fit in well.
Sounds like he talked to the guys on the Royals that wanted to get rid of him (and would say anything to do so), plus Guillen’s mom.

This is sad
Kuo is much better than Brox.
Though Torre also uses his closers inefficiently, so the net result will probably be that we see Kuo less, and only in the 9th?
I dunno.

Yeah, I hope it’s longer than it was last year. October is my favorite month but last year, the warm weather only seemed to last a week.

Depending how you feel about Bochy's prospect evaluation
This is probably good news:
The Royals have a very short list from which to select a low-level prospect, Sabean said.

So the list is
Juan Carlos Perez, Rafael Rodriguez, or Zach Wheeler?

Hating your body is Chicken Fried Steak about the size of Texas
with mashed potatoes (or French Fries if you really hate yourself), eggs and biscuits, all of it drowning in gravy (yes, even the French fries). And don’t forget to pour Tabasco over the whole thing.
That’s a very common breakfast here in Texas.

It’s not for older folks unless they are/were nerds. It’s really strongly aimed at the people of the video game age, especially the 90s. (this is what I’ve read)
