Post-game thread: Giants win a one-run game against the Padres. No, seriously.

I can’t write at the moment. I did a Google Image Search for "San Diego Padres", and now I’m dancing around my office, flipping off my computer monitor and howling like some sort of manimal. Please check back for a more thorough post-game recap later.
several moments later
Ahem. Great, and now I’m all covered in catharsis. That stuff stains.
Before this game, the Giants were 11-for-76 with runners in scoring position against the Padres this year. That’s good for a .144 batting average. Hold on, though. It gets better. That number included the lone Giants win against the Padres this season, in which they went 5-for-13 with runners in scoring position. In the eight losses against the Padres this year, the Giants were 6-for-63 with runners in scoring position, which is a .095 batting average.
You might think there’s a reasonable explanation for that. Maybe the Giants were pressing too much. Maybe the Padres’ fantastic pitching staff knew how to pitch even better when they were under pressure. You can believe that. I don’t. I think the Giants have been ridiculously unlucky against the Padres this year. That doesn’t mean that the Padres aren’t anything but a good team, and it doesn’t mean that I think the Giants have outplayed the Padres. It just means that a team going 6-for-63 with runners in scoring position is almost impossible to acheive. It was orphanage-fire frustrating.
Before the 11th inning, the Giants were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. If they had lost, they would have been 6-for-71 with RISP in losses against the Padres. That would have been a .084 batting average. I don’t care how many Luke Gregersons or Greg Lukersons or Mike Adamseses or Adam Mikeseses or Tim Stauffers a team can pull from its nether regions in the late innings – that’s just absurdly poor luck to have a batting average that bad with runners in scoring position.
So, thank you, Juan Uribe, you beautiful, beautiful man. Thank you Pablo Sandoval for giving me hope that you’ve turned a corner for good. Thank you Buster Posey for cavorting with us mortals, and for hustling while you’re here. Thank you Madison Bumgarner for not melting down after giving up early runs, and for going seven innings to help save the bullpen. Thank you Chris Ray and Javier Lopez for dancing out of trouble. Thank you Sergio Romo and Brian Wilson for just doing Sergio Romo and Brian Wilson things. Thank you Santiago Casilla for having strikeout stuff.
Thank you, tree. Thank you, moon. Thank you, lamp post. I’m in love with the world, and I don’t care if I get a restraining order. The Giants beat the Padres! The Giants beat the Padres! The Giants beat the Padres! Juan Uribe hit a single into right field! The Giants beat the Padres and they're goin' crazy, they're goin' crazy! HEEEEEHHHERAARGGYY-OHHHHHH!''

26, as I said on the other thread
I still want the record
the MLB record is 20
in 9 innings. that’s a lot.
I got it
But I got the sense that it was all the Padres
I would like to talk to you about my pokemonz
pssh, 20? Buster broke that easily in his last college game
ok, maybe it was only like 17, but he was left on base himself 3 or 4 times, and when fsu lost to miami by 1 run in the 9th, it felt like 35 lob.
well....that was fun
now its time for the little league ws
It would be nice to win a game against them in 9 innings. But this feels good. FUCK YOU LATOS!

I swear though, whatever devil the rockies made a deal with last year must have been referred over to the padres this year.

I'm going to say something nice about the Padres
Heath Bell is a good guy. He could have rubbed it into Sanchez last night after the game but he said he liked the way he tried to fire his team up, and that he backed it up by pitching very well.
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
Bell and Adrian are the only respectable Padres. The rest can suck it. Especially Latos and the Hairstons.

They never had a save situation, and Bell had pitched in four straight games, so he wasn’t used. Bud Black blew it by pitching him in each game of the Pirates series even though all three games were three run saves. You telling me that Adams or Gregorson couldn’t have finished off one of those?
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
That is class...
…I’ve seen interviews with him and he seems like a good guy.
Glad we didn’t deal with him today.
I've heard nice things about him.
Though I ignore those when he pitches against us. But when we’re not facing off, he’s a good guy.
Please, Tim, don’t experiment on the mound tomorrow. Just go back to the old Timmy, okay?
Bruce Bochy: Leave him alone, he's the Manager Man and his BORK is much worse than his bite.
If the padres had pulled this one out of their collective asses, I would have been wondering if they have the luckiest team in baseball.

I think you and we were watching different ball games.
I try to be equitable about these things, but we were both screaming at calls throughout the game (when we weren’t screaming at the unspeakable Fox coverage we were obliged to endure—our internet was totally down, so we couldn’t even listen to delayed radio for the audio).
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
I mentioned during the game thread that I was following on mlb.com gameday, and Latos had at least a dozen pitches out of the zone that were called strikes.
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
I was watching gameday as well
Latos was getting high and outside strikes called that were at the letters. Not to mention he was getting any inside pitch he wanted but hey clearly he’s a celebrity now.
"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 dispute this
Looks like a pretty solid zone to me.
I see five green squares in that box and only three green triangles.

Well… it’s not like the article is saying anything we didn’t already know. It’s basically saying, “Aaron Rowand had a shitty game against the Padres.” If anyone honestly thinks that was the last we’ll ever see of him in a Giants uniform, well, you’re a very hopeful person.

Not necessarily fried,
though people definitely prefer frying it to some extent.
It’s essentially taking a meat (typically beef or pork), marinating it in a sour liquid (think citric juice or vinegar), then adding other seasonings or whatever accoutrement you see fit. Frying (which we typically distinguish with “sizzling,” since it’s served right off of the cast-iron) definitely adds a different flavor profile; I’ve always preferred it fried over not.
Official adoptive parent of... well, no one. Too much paperwork, I guess.
I just read Grant's post
And he is right. And he explains why things have been so out of balance. The Padres HAVE been very lucky against us. That insanely low BABIP with runners in scoring position is the main reason they have won so many against us and are 1 – in first place and 2 – we aren’t in first place.
They aren’t a bad team, but against us they have been so lucky that they are in prime playoff position. If we reverse this trend we will win the division.
Of course they are still 4 games up on us, 2.5 game lead, 4 in the loss column.

Uribe went and grabbed Wilson in mid-jump with the biggest fucking smile on his face, and the Pat Burrell came out of nowhere and gave Uribe a huge hug, and like, not a one-arm man hug with a pat on the back. a REAL goddam hug.
And I just had the biggest smile. This is my favorite Giants team I’ve ever watched. I love them to death.

we were convinced that he caught it, then lost it on the transfer. Could have been the hope talking, though.
Mark DeRosa is playing exactly the same amount of professional baseball as his adopted father, these days.
but yeah
never really lost hope, and I was pretty sure we would win it, once it hit extra innings.

Speaking of which…. it’s been a long time since either of us have kept score… We kept score at the Volcanoes game the other night…and found ourselves in the predicament of wondering: what the hell do you do if a team sends 10 or 12 dudes up to bat in an inning?
I think you just go over to the next inning’s column.

Then of course we wondered, okay fine we’ll use the next inning… but what if the game goes extra innings?!? What then?!?!? What???
Not that that was going to be an issue at the game we were at, which they ended up losing 10-0, but you know, hypothetically speaking…
I forgot my actual scorebook today, so I had to use one of the shitty ones from the program. I probably would have used the AB H R RBI boxes they have next to the regular ones, but man…
if I had the regular scorebook, I probably would have gone onto the next page.

That’s it…just his immediate family in Cincy and some cousins in San Diego. We rarely ever go down there anymore, I think the main reason we went before was to visit his 90 something year old grandma.

He goes back once a year. I don’t usually go. I absolutely abhor flying; anything over 2 hours cooped up in a plane and I start to get a little hissy-sterical. Besides, I know he wants to hang out with his college buddies, and I don’t.
I TOTALLY AGREE with the flying thing

Last time we were there it was restauranty, barry, hip kind of shopping places, but that was maybe 8 years ago now.

Lots of plates crashing on the floor and it sounded like fun so I tried to go up but they had a guy at the top of the stairs checking for invitations, so alas, I didn’t get a chance to break some dinnerware myself.

real quick/half-assed report on the SJG game
San Jose lost after leading most of the way
Runzler pitched 1 inning, 2 Ks
James Simmons made 2 of the worst baserunning mistakes Ive seen outside of little league
F-Peg went 2 for 4 with a home run
Casey Weathers for Modesto came in throwing 96-97. I’ve never known the SJ gun to be hot, so I have no reason to doubt those numbers. Kid has a LIVE arm.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
i'm the wrong guy to ask
I’ve been an F-Peg doubter all along — I saw him in the season opener in Modesto and he looked slappy and sluggish. But OBVIOUSLY I need to turn in my straw hat, cuz I was way wrong about that.
I still don’t know if his power will play at higher levels — he doesn’t look like a typical power hitter to me — he’s kinda long and wiry. But he’s got tons of speed and makes good baserunning choices. Tonight he scored on a passed ball that only rolled a few feet away from the catcher, and there wasn’t even a play on him.
Final analysis: I’m still skeptical, but I look forward to being proven very wrong about the kid.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
I can totally see that
Not as tall and not as much raw speed, I don’t think, but not a bad comp at all. I’d be ecstatic if he ended up being Fowleresque.
MLEs based on his 415 ABs in SJ: .242/.258/.341, with 25 SB/23CS (lol).
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
F-peg makes it sound like he has a proclivity for strap-ons.
Utter frustration and futility.

Panda at 3rd base in 2011
More of a forward looking comment, but it’s obvious he’s lost range and as Baggs points out today, he’ll have to lose weight this offseason to have a chance there next year, and due to those doubts, the Giants could seriously look for a 3B in the offseason (Uribe could play there, but he’ll likely be our SS next year.) Of course, a permanent move to 1b by Panda (assuming he hits enough to play anywhere) squeezes out room for Brandon Belt, who will be in the majors at some point next year (if not sooner.) That may explain Belts recent starts in the outfield, and it could lead to some interesting lineups in 2011.

agree
Panda could have saved a couple runs today if he’d had any range at the hot corner. His range consists of falling down and seeing if he is tall enough to reach the ball.

assuming a replacement player is in the same defensive alignment, i don’t think anyone could have gotten to those balls down the line lately. Padres luck
However, I wouldn’t mind seeing Panda at first and Belt perhaps at 3rd? Next year’s OF will be stacked.

I like Kevin Millar
But it’s probably because I am a Red Sox fan. Today, however, I was screaming at my television, “Shut up Millar!!!” God he was insufferable.
Chris Rose is a tool, but he seemed to be enjoying his stay in SF. I watch Best Damn so I am quite used to him. He didn’t bother me, and he went on and on about how great the Giants and Posey are so I enjoyed his input, but OMFG Millar was seriously annoying.

Yeah we’re in the middle of a pennant race right now, but looking to next spring, where do we upgrade the team? Pen is solid now, not to mention we get Affeldt and Runz back soon. SP is fine. So by position,
C is Posey
1B Huff
2B Fontenot? F Sanchez? sign Uggla?
SS Uribe? maybe platoon with a FA signing due to age?
3B Sandoval
LF Burrell
CF Torres
RF Belt
so appears that middle IF will be where we focus on?
There is also the possibility that Dunn or another big power hitter will be signed

The NBA is about as real as the WWE but its midly entertaining when the baseball and football season are over. It’d be nice if the niners went to the playoffs this year the drought is somehow longer than the giants.

the NBA is lame. For starters, I like sports where scoring is something that is somewhat revered, baseball gotta go around the bases, football gotta drive down the field, but basketball is just too much scoring. not fun for me to watch.

NBA is lame? Nah, i disagree
There’s so much athleticism involved with the scoring though… You can’t just expect to go down the court and score, unless your Kobe Bryant or Lebron James where you’ll get guaranteed a foul everytime down the floor.
Beating the fans? really? You’re taking ONE instance where Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest went into the crowd to beat the shit out of some dude in Detroit that threw soda on him? There hasn’t been an instance since then. Plus what’s going on with the lebron/bosh/wade thing is a wake up call to the NBA that they’re fuckin everything up when it comes to the league. They’re pretty much down for a lockout next year or the year after. Furthermore, the ONLY problem i have with the NBA? Same teams go in it every year, Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Mavs, Jazz…

I was a huge Sonics fan, they might have been my top team out of all my favorite sports teams (mostly because they were the first team I ever watched play, when I was way young, before I was able to catch a Giants or Niners game). Since they moved in the worst, most “F U to the fan” way possible, I haven’t watched a game since. It’s such a “me me me” league, that it gets really tiring.

One last note before I go to bed- we will be facing Oswalt, Blanton, and Hamels in Philly. Considering our success against those pitchers at the beginning of the season with our “old” lineup, I’d say we’re in good shape there.
Oswalt, blanton, and hamels at citizens band box sounds pretty good with our non molina non flappy line up.

LOLATE
But I used to fucking love, LOVE Interpol. i sorta OD’ed on them in college, so I don’t follow them as closely. But Turn On The Bright Lights has a special place in my heart occupied by no other album/band. How are they sans Carlos D? I met him at Popscene, my first ever clubbing experience, the last day of my freshman year in college, and I was a changed woman.

Changed woman, eh?
Carlos D: well-known for his womanizing and his herpes
not sayin’/just sayin’
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
hence my waning interest in the band
Franz Ferdinand had twice the sexy, and only half the VD.

From Baggs' game story:
regarding Posey:
Bochy said: “I didn’t know he was that fast. He turned it up a notch. Good hustle, and it won the game for us.”
How does the supposedly intelligent manager of a baseball team NOT KNOW how fast his players can run?
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

Congrats Gigantes Fans!
You guys felt like shit after Friday night, now it’s our turn to feel the pain of a tough luck loss. Ahhh, the emotional rollercoaster of a pennant race. Yesterday’s loss was on Bud Black for having Bell close out three 3-run leads in a row vs Pirates making Bell unavailable yesterday (he had to take a chance with someone else given the looming Giants series), so instead of Adams in the 8th we had Gregerson. Despite Gregerson’s dominance vs you guys up until yesterday, he’s been shaky at times for us since June.
As for today, your team’s new found discipline at the plate (see Posey, Burrell) will do wonders against the nibbler Leblanc. Don’t go chasing and you should have the lead down to 1 1/2. Leblanc has a ridiculously unsustainable strand rate. Either you guys will get to him for a bunch of runs or you’ll be driven mad by LOBs.
Looking ahead, you guys miss Halliday (sp?) vs Phils and we miss Dempster vs Cubbies. If my planning is correct, though, you guys have the misfortune of getting Carpenter, Garcia and Wainwright vs the Card next weekend.
It should be fun. I wish you guys heartache, but respect your passionate fanbase.
thanks, bud
While I do think you’re right about Black’s use of Bell (no real reason to have him close games w/ 3-run leads other than SAVEZ), I can’t fault him for bringing in Gregerson in the 8th. Dude has been devastating all year, and the Giants finally had some balls fall in against him.
Go Timmy!

Padres!
Pitching (3.66 FIP, 3.77 xFIP, both bests in the league this season)! and Defense (+43.5 UZR)! and just enough offense!

I think we miss Wainright and Garcia if the probables I saw were correct
I would like to talk to you about my pokemonz
I think the probables are based upon game days
Cards have a couple of days of in between…My calculation also shows Giants up against Wainright, Garcia, and Carp

I’d still rather have Rowand in RF versus a lefty, but this is pretty acceptable.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
Not bad
Finally not a LOLineup….. hopefully

Posey hitting second! I think the hustle double yesterday got Buster some gamerpoints with Bochy.

I kind of want Posey to rest one of these days.I mean, we can’t really lose his bat from the lineup, but he still needs a break at some point.
Also: I love the feeling of wanting Bochy to give Posey a day off to rest him. It’s a much better feeling than the one where you want Bochy to play Posey at catcher, or just play Posey at all.
