Many places are shitty when you go too far South.
Though, I really don’t like it too much down there especially. The people are 10001111001, the water is green, and there’s a bad smell that I can’t describe. I love where I am though I wouldn’t mind visiting SF one day though…
oooh man .......
you gotta come out to SF. it’s the most beautiful city in america …… and i’m not just saying that cuz i’m from there …… it truly is.

Has Brian Wilson beat up a cab driver over 20 cents? Doubt it.
And Toews is probably their most likable player, although I soured on him a little after a Blackhawks fan came over the the Sharks SBN site right after the Sharks were swept to boast about how much better of a captain Toews was than the Sharks’ captain. It was like, dude, we get he’s a good captain, but you don’t need to boast about it.

And the worst part, those fukin’ douchenozzles over at the MCC get to lord this over us.
Bad rundown is the difference
Buster threw too soon and/or Pablo didn’t get close enough to Gonzalez. Absolutely a failed rundown. If they execute properly the runner doesn’t get to third.

You can use video for HR calls but not runner interferance calls during a game.
I’m pretty sure you can’t use it in review for runner interferance calls after the game either if it’s not allowed during the game. Either way, I’m pretty sure you don’t know the answer.
The review for the protest doesn’t happen during the game, it happens afterward.

Pretty much this.
In terms of runs, it’s slightly favoring hitters, but in terms of dingers, it favors the pitcher. I think.
I really hate this discussion...
Because while AVG might be higher in this park, HR’s go down fairly significantly, I’d say.
Which means, YES, this is a pitchers park.
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions
…not if it doesn’t depress run scoring in general.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I mean....
Look, I understand the increase to AVG argument… However, a hit doesn’t always equal a run. Nor does a double/triple.
But HR’s ALWAYS equal runs. I’d gamble to say this park saves (for and against) 15HR’s a year? Maybe even more?
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 9:56 PM PDT up reply actions
It's not an increase in average, per se - it's an increase in runs. An increase that truly exists.
The park suppresses HR totals, yes, but it still creates more run scoring than league average. I understand that 1 hr > 1 hit, but we aren’t talking about that. The loss of the HR’s have already been factored into the Run totals.
Eh. I get what you all are saying… And while the SABR stats may support it (Likely making you guys correct, which I’m sure you are…) I just can’t get past the fact that in many other parks, Huff’s fly-out is a GW 2Run dinger.
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah.
But in most other parks, the dimensions are smaller, and more balls in play are converted to outs, etc. So more runs in average are scored in this park, even if there are less dingers. Just sucks in this specific situation for the Giants.
Not denying that, in this specific situation, the park favored the pitcher.
And it sucks.
Just over the course of an entire season, or over a 3-5 year span, more runs will be scored in this park than league average, while fewer home runs will be hit in this park than league average.
Hope that clears things up a bit. Or feel free to continue to be irrational about it. I just felt like clarifying the point. :P
LOL
Well, I’ll likely continue a little mix of both idiocy and knowledge.
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Of course. My point is, HR’s always equal runs scored… Hits do not.
Now, I don’t know the break-even point, so this IS a completely “In-My-Opinion” argument.
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions
But there are statistics that show that although AT&T allows fewer HR than average, it doesn’t allow fewer runs than average. It’s not a matter of opinion.

The break even point falls in favor
of the hitters. So while there my be fewer dingers, there are also ‘more’ runs scored. I understand your point, just saying that the break even point is on the opposite side of where you think.
I can see why you hate it.

If SF wins the WC, they'll likely be facing St Louis in the first round.
Wainright, Carpenter, Garcia vs. Lincecum, Cain, Zito.
It’d be tightly matched. I did a bit of a spiel comparing the two teams in the post game thread last night, iirc.
Do you think they'd pitch Garcia in the playoffs?
I know there’s already been some “sweating” in St. Louis over his innings count. He’s quickly approaching their cap.
by SixFourThree on Aug 13, 2010 10:06 PM PDT up reply actions
I think He'll pitch in a 7 game series, but perhaps not a 5.
Westbrook is probably the #3 guy, now. They’ll skip Garcia where they can the rest of the year to keep him available for playoffs, however.
Yes, yes. I recall.
Lincecum (at this point), is a non-factor, so it’ll rest on first-timers Huff, Fr. Sanchez, Pablo and Posey to knock in some runs and for the bullpen to hold up.

Jonathan Sanchez was wrong, the Padres are better than the Giants… I don’t know what to do with this information, but there it is.
they’re literally the luckiest team of all time

No way. That’s just a ridiculous generalization. No team is just flat out lucky for more than half a season. Their pitching is better. Sure, they pitch at Petco, but they are just better. Their offense as a whole is better than the Giants’ as a whole. They’re just better.

They do not possess more talent as a whole. They've simply managed to utilize the talent that they do have in a timely manner.
I’m not saying they’re entirely luck – just that their talent level is not the same as their record, and they are due to regress. Hopefully the Giants continue to play solid baseball, and can take advantage of such a regression.
Everybody keeps saying ‘due to regress,’ but we’re halfway through August. They’re just better.
by Every6thDay on Aug 13, 2010 10:23 PM PDT up reply actions
That's being a bit irrational. They don't really have that much talent.
Can luck be sustained through as small a sample size as a full season portends? Yeah, although it’s rare. Just need to continue to keep an even keel, and play the games. Talent usually does win out in the end, even if not always. It’s just frustrating to see so many close outcomes go in the Padres favor.
Their pitching is better (bullpen, more consistent starters), they can actually play good defense (guessing their range is better as a team), collectively they are better, making the individual thing sorta irrelevant.

You're welcome to that opinion.
It’s simply the truth, even if people wish to simply disagree based on what their frustrated and slightly biased eyes tell them. The padres have a few excellent pitchers – Latos, Gregerson, Bell. But most are middling talent that has been exceptionally fortunate to achieve what they have this season.
They play half their games there. Oh well. Whatever the reason, it’s better.

A full season isn’t some unbelievable sample size that luck couldn’t conceivably withstand.

Yes, the Padres .380 OBP with RISP (compared to .322 overall) is completely legitimate and sustainable. They could play at this pace for the next 500 games.

Well, they really only need to do that for less than 100 games.

Seriously. For a guy fourth in the rotation, he’s pretty good. And give him a few years to learn to be consistent, and he could be flat-out dominant.
Not everyone comes into the league and immediately tears the place up. Some guys take time to break out. That doesn’t mean they’re bad.

they ran themselves out of multiple rallies
they misplayed balls defensively
the only two things they did well was pitch and have a guy at third less slow at running than Pablo Sandoval

They've started the equivalent of Aaron Rowand in RF the entire season, until the Ludwick deal.
That’s the trade that makes them legitimately dangerous from a team talent perspective, though I still believe the Giants are slightly better. Better enough to make up the gap that timing and a bit of luck has created? I’m uncertain. But there’s plenty of baseball to be played.
Granted. It's sort of a four-headed-monster-with-even-worse-production-than-Aaron-Rowand, however.
I found it hilarious. Until they made the Ludwick deal.
well, I really believed we would win up until the last swing of the bat. :(
there’s always tomorrow, I guess.

Their bullpen is quite good.
I’m simply saying that as a whole, their starting rotation and offense has been lucky this season. Unsustainable performance with RISP, lower BABIP against than even good defense warrants, etc.
They’re a good team, but if they played at their true ability level, they’d have several less wins. Luck in a small sample size happens, and it’s frustrating. I know it’s not something people want to hear, or are prepared to hear after a discouraging loss, but it is what it is.
Good players and good teams make things happen and get wins. Midway through August, it’s not just luck.

And why can't it be?
Do you think that 100 games is some incredible sample size that is outside the boundaries that luck can influence? Please.
Luck, fortunate timing, unsustainable splits…all of these things can persist throughout even an entire season. It still happened, but that doesn’t make it not luck, either.
Wins still count on the scoreboard the same way, whether it was playing to true ability, or playing over that true ability. It’s just a measure of looking at what is most likely to happen going forwards, which is the Padres regressing to their talent level, and the race in the west likely being pretty close by season end.
