Post-game Thread: Giants win despite not trading Jonathan Sanchez for a big bat
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 3, 2010 9:12 PM PDT
Email
PrintIf you aren’t familiar with win expectancy charts, they’re pretty cool. They give you a graph that shows how likely a team is to win or lose based on the score, inning, and a few more factors. Here’s tonight’s from FanGraphs:
Very nice. The Giants scored four runs before there were two outs, and it just kept getting better. But my biggest problem with win expectancy charts is that they don’t take park effects into account. Well, maybe they do, but they don’t take into account that the Giants are playing in Coors Field. Because Coors Field. So I redid tonight’s chart based on how likely a battle-scarred Giants fan thought a win was throughout the night:
Because Coors Field. I have no problem thinking that it might be the Giants’ year, and my supporting evidence would be Freddy Sanchez’s catch in the seventh inning. With a seven-run lead, the Giants’ relief corps started nibbling. Of course they did. So after a couple of walks, the Rockies’ hottest hitter came up, and he drilled one. If it weren’t the Giants’ year, it would have been a bases-clearing double. More relievers would come in to nibble, more walks would ensue, and then Ryan Spilbourghs would do something. Because Coors Field.
I don’t want to go so far as to say this was some sort of "statement game," so I’ll just write this: This game was a statement game. After exorcising the Dodger stink from Mays Field, the Giants are trying to get some demons out of Coors. I approve.
I’d enjoy games in Colorado a lot more if the Rockies wouldn’t score while the Giants rapped out eleventy-nine hits every inning. They should work on that. What a great game. It feels like I should keep that sentence on my clipboard so I don’t have to type it out every time.

The Giants have scored 10 runs before. And they have shut out teams before. I like when they do both at the same time.

I watched the first few minutes of the postgame show, and wanted to throw Santangelo at Radnich just to shut him the hell up about what “every Giants fan wanted.” Which he couldn’t beat to death quickly enough that “every Giants fan thought the Giants should trade Sanchez for a bat.” You know what, Gary? Shut up.
But then the only comments I read are MCC comments, so it’s not like I really know what the average Giants fan really wants. I mostly know what the average MCC Giants fan wants.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
every giants fan wanted = gary radnich wanted
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
for a second I read this as “every giants fan wanted gary radnich,” and I got a funny feeling in my tummy. Bad funny, not good funny.

It's based on PAs
3.1 per team game, so 162*3.1 ~= 502. He has 222 so far, and the Giants have played 107 games so they have 55 left. So he would need to average 280/55 = 5.09 PAs per game the rest of the year to qualify. That… is not happening. He should end up with around 400.

Thanks, Grant!
I’ll have no problem falling asleep tonight!
When I was a lad and first thought of this whole possibility, I originally anticipated that a pitcher could just throw on back to back days. 100 on the right arm, 100 on the left. The platoon advantage seems like a fine idea, too. And a 7:1 KK:BB is pretty awesome. Seems old for A+, though. Still, we’re evolving!

All AL, weird.
Kershaw is really the only other elite lefty in the NL that I can think of.
Maybe Ted Lilly according to Eric Karros.
Jonathan isn’t quite elite yet, but he’s honestly not that far off
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I’d say he’s pretty far off, he never will be elite.
And I’m a huge Sanchez fan too. But he’s nowhere in those guys leagues. And that’s what happens when you walk 5 per 9.
His stats are pretty similar to Kershaw.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
similar BB/9, similar K/9, Kershaw has allowed fewer HR
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
A difference in .6 BB per 9 is pretty significant.
I’m not saying I don’t like Sanchez, but you can’t really make an argument for Kershaw not being better.
Did I miss something? Where did I say that Sanchez is better?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Nowhere. I said that wrong.
I just don’t think they’re very close, especially when you consider their projections going forward.
Well, sure, I’m just saying that for whatever reason, Sanchez is thought of as a 4th starter by a lot of fans (which is in part because he’s the Giants 4th starter) when he’s really a lot better than that.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Oh I wouldn’t disagree there. On some good teams he could be a 3. On a great staff like ours is he only a 4 or 5.
And that’s enough Dodger-defending for me tonight.
I sense your desire to argue is waining. But I’m pretty sure Sanchez is one of the 50 best starting pitchers in baseball. He certainly is by FIP.
Mark DeRosa is playing exactly the same amount of professional baseball as his adopted father, these days.

Got battered a little tonight, but that was mostly Aaron Fucking Miles doing a butcher job at third base, extending the inning by a ton.
He’s been spectacular this season.
ugh how is Aaron Miles still in the majors?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Because Tony LaRussa.
He’s like our Velez, except worse. And plays more. In the infield.
He hit leadoff today, and played third base. He can’t even ‘throw’ the ball from third to first. Or field anything in his general direction. It was horrible.
On the plus side, he threw a scoreless 9th inning. When we were down by 14. To the Astros. Miles for Bowker? I hear you guys could use a bullpen arm.
Oh, shit.
It could’ve worked if Miles was left handed.

I do think they need to baby him a little the rest of the season to keep him available for post-season (hence the trade of surplus outfielders/salary shedding for Jake Westbrook).
But man, he’s been a godsend this year, with Penny and Lohse going down with freak injuries early.

Let's bring the...
Realistically, I think he's our 5th starter

Its ridiculous – his XFIP is significantly lower.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
yeah, that’s kind of an xFIP quirk, though. Zito’s shallow pop-ups get classified as flyballs, and expects them to start leaving the park.

That’s FIP.
Zito also has been a bit lucky which has allowed him to throw 20 more innings (plus Sanchez doesn’t go deep into games).
I’m not sure what there xIP is, but I doubt it’s as big of a gap.
And besides, when you get within half a win difference you can’t claim one player is better than another.
Sanchez is much better by xFIP, but that metric certainly undersells Zito

Jonathan Sanchez actually was showing flu like symptoms, much like LIincecum in the 2008 All star game. Possibly due to all the fucking partying at Bumgarner’s 21st b-day party with all of them strippers and Liquid Cocains. He said he almost didn’t pitch.

We’re missing our Third Baseman to injury, and have Aaron Fucking MIles playing somewhat frequently at second, third, and short due to that.
Both of our starting MIF are being BABIP’d to all hell, especially our defensive wizard at short, Brendan Ryan.
Albert Pujols isn’t even being all that Pujolsian. Although his down seasons are still among the best in baseball.
The best defensive catcher in baseball is being overused, and his hitting is suffering due to that.
Bullpen = shaky.
Despite all of that….we’re still effectively in a dead even race for the Central Division, with a decent shot at the Wild Card. The Reds and Padres can’t ‘both’ continue playing like this, can they?

I doubt anyone else wasted a half hour watching ESPN in the middle of the day today but the story about how the fun loving, always smiling, has a handshake for every teammate Nick Swisher is a TOTALLY UNIQUE player in the mlb today, maybe in all of sports really bugged me too.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Manny Ramirez has suffered what manager Joe Torre acknowledged was a setback in his rehabilitation from a right calf strain and won’t begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment for at least another week.
The delayed return means it probably will be even harder for the Dodgers to trade Ramirez before the Aug. 31 deadline.

Lincecum’s declining velocity has to be a huge red flag. As well as his body type, that’s just a huge injury risk down the road.
Longoria probably has the best contract in baseball and I wouldn’t be shocked if he puts up more value the next few years.
As for marketing, Longoria is becoming one of new faces of baseball so that argument is moot IMO.

Okay my Bruce Springsteen story.
I was in Hyde Park, and it just so happened that there’s this thing that goes on there in Hyde Park, London, where people are allowed to stand on boxes and talk shit about everything. A hateful old lady was on her box ranting about how such-and-such should be tossed out of England because they’ve defiled the Angle blood and tradition. Americans were the worst of the worst, she concluded. A mongrel nation that has brought nothing good upon the world. I shouted, “What about Bruce Springsteen?”

It’s the Springsteen album that non-Springsteen fans always seem to like, ‘cause it’s all dark and sparse and shit.

I guess I can see that angle. But back then it actually rubbed me the wrong way a bit, because early Springsteen was (to boil it down) all about hope and aspiration, and with Nebraska he was like, “Aw, fuck it, life sucks, I’m just gonna cut my wrists now.”
I dunno, Darkness is still a pretty wrist-cutting album.

It’s the last good Springsteen album, IMO. Aspects of it are a little hard to take, but that could be said about all except Born to Run, Darkness, and The Wild Innocent.

Yeah
Tunnel of Love and Born in the USA are both tough for me. (Anything after that can pretty much melt down.)
I’d say:
1) Born to Run
2) E Street Shuffle
3) Darkness
4) The River
5) Nebraska
(large gap)
6) Greetings…
7) Born in the USA
8) Tunnel of Love
(large gap)

Give it a shot. It gets a bad rep because it was associated with Human Touch, which was awful. Plus there’s the bitterness of him dumping the E Street band and then coming out with an E-Street-type album. But there really isn’t a weak song.

I remember being impressed by the Bootleg version of When the Night Comes Falling From the Sky, but with every listen I like it less. I’d say it’s better than Jokerman, but I’m not desperate to include it.
Man in the Long Black Coat was right there with The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar on the list of “Yes, they’re better than Ballad In Plain D, but if I have to put them on, then this thing’s in trouble.”

Dylan is god
I brook no dissent on the topic, but 80’s Dylan is hard for me. That being said, I actually quite liked Modern Times – its like he accepted his voice has changed and worked with it.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Time out of mind/Love and theft/Modern Times are all pretty good, though I think there’s a slight decline there.
Together Through Life was pretty disappointing though.

Fair enough.
Any argument that she’s a legit musical artist is outrageous (or fraudulent) then.
I also consider pro wrestling a fraud.
How is she not a legit musical artist? She writes her own songs, she performs them, etc.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
and this is why she has my respect
She’s not a performance artists like GG Allin was, just shouting and throwing poo for attention. She is an excellent pianist, singer and composer. Her talent is what makes her performance art stand out as credible, in a sea of mediocrity and fraudulence.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
UGH
OK, I said that wrong.
She’s a legitimate musical artist in that she has musical training and talent.
But she’ll be musically insignificant soon enough. As said earlier, she’s an “act”.
Well, we’ll see. She seems ambitious enough that I don’t think she’ll just put out a lazy album next.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Apparently, she’s already made her second album, even though it’s not being released until next year.
Of course, that just means her record company is releasing an album of remixes to tide her fans over until then.

Well, I didn’t say that I like those songs in so many words.
Also, I don’t really have an answer better than this. Those two songs seem like tightly constructed pop songs with strong hooks, and Bad Romance seems like walls of noise thrown behind a thick layer of bad singing.
I’m not sure what makes the first two songs one thing and the other song the other thing to me, but…

I lived in Costa Mesa
Back when it was still the place to hang your hat for surfers and assorted oddballs—yes, like me. I doubt it’s like that anymore.
Beautiful weather. I lived close enough to the fairgrounds off Hwy 55 that I could sit on my porch and listen to concerts.
The ones I remember hearing were Madonna and the Thompson Twins.
Yes, it was that long ago.
Costa Mesa is nice

No. Give me one good reason why I should like her. Her music sucks, she can’t dress to save her life, and she’s the definition of an attention whore. She can feel free to disappear and never be heard from again.

Music is good
Rest of it is a performance…art personified Writes her own music and sings live extremely well.
Actually I don’t really love her (just a couple of her songs) but recognize the talent.
Apparently you and I have different taste in music. Personally I find every single one of her songs to be loud, over produced pop crap, made up of lyrics devoid of any real sentiment, sung in a largely forgettable voice accompanied by small monologues in fake accents that don’t sound like they’re from any real country or region.
If I were her I wouldn’t spread the word too much that I write that shit.
As to the performance stuff, I recall her throwing blood all over herself and wearing a dress made out of Kermit dolls. To me that doesn’t say “artist” so much as it says “pretentious fame-monger.”

I didn’t mean she shouldn’t spread the word because it’s not financially viable for her (clearly it is). I meant I wouldn’t do it because I’d be embarrassed by how crappy it is.

Point taken
Although I find it interesting that every time I criticize her people’s responses have mostly had to do with Britney Spears.
I mean really, if we’re comparing her to Britney then kudos for being better.
It’s like comparing Nate to Velez (too soon?).
Definitely. I may not be able to see what the majority of other people do in Lady Gaga but I’d listen to her all day every day before I’d listen to Britney Spears. I meant what I said about Gaga’s voice being forgettable but BS’s voice is like listening to Hawk Harrelson call White Sox home runs.

I’m not quite sure what Springsteen has to do with Gaga (I’m guessing there’s a sub-thread about it above) but I’m pretty whatever about Springsteen. I like some of his stuff, I don’t like some of his other stuff. I don’t have a full Springsteen album on my iPod but I do have individual songs.

True story: Back in college the cook where I lived typed up “placenta” on the menu instead of “polenta.” He ended up throwing most of it away.

When my son was born
The coolest thing was looking at the placenta. My wife would not let me eat it, however. I told her that all the other animals of Creation do so, but she wasn’t having it.

He wrote this (IIRC)
Todd Helton is like that guy at a Collective Soul concert who comes up next to you and says “Man, I love Grunge”

Here's the exact quote
Just look at that guy. And you can’t even see his new, horrific pageboy hairdo in that picture. Helton looks like a guy who would dance at a Collective Soul concert, occasionally leaning over to the guy next to him and saying, “Man, I love grunge!” Simply awful

I like St. Dominic’s Preview. I heard Veedon Fleece was like Astral Weeks, so I gave it a miss. If it’s really more like Moondance, I might become interested.
But the live double It’s Too Late to Stop Now kicks all kinds of ass, I know that much.
Veedon Fleece is kind of a mix between Astral Weeks and Moondance, I guess. It’s got some mystical shit (the two best songs on the album are Streets of Arklow and You Don’t Pull No Punches But You Don’t Push the River) and they’ve got that going for them, but the songs are also much more structured than Astral Weeks.

That site is weird. Any top 10 ten lists will seem OK for about 3 lists.

1. Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. 30 Seconds to Mars
or something like that.
1. Understandable
2. Debatable.
3. Who?

I have a series of posts over at Niners Nation called “At Least We’re Not…” where I take a satirical look at another team and make fun of them. Solely for offseason entertainment, I won’t be doing them during the onseason. Anyway, this post was on the Buffalo Bills and this guy got seriously butthurt. I even had a gigantic disclaimer. Telling everyone this is a joke, do not be offended. Had hella Bills fans tell me it was funny, and I thought I was in the clear, then this guy told me to suck dick and drown myself in the bay and that I was a diabetic fuckface. It was pretty funny. I also had a Packers fan stalk me (I almost called the police) and a Texans fan tell me to kill myself. And I made the Dallas paper for my Cowboys article.

So did Wilt Chamberlain! But I wouldn’t know a thing about that.

He did! Apparently him and Walter Payton spent some time talking about it.

Yeah. It got pretty intense, haha.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I may not be as witty or funny as most here at MCC...
But there is no website that I enjoy more than this one; especially after a big win.

So one thing I learned from this thread – My musical taste is wildly different from most of yours.

Before I fall asleep a few points to touch
1. Purple row lashes out at Jon because were better this year.
2. We all like music here.
3. Dirty was Filthy.
4. New guys are ok with me.
5. Mole is awsome.
6. This list is to long, I had something but am too tired to remeber it.
There is nothing wrong with me cheering for players that are former players for my teams. Unless they become a Viking.

Should Billy Joel be considered a guilty pleasure or no?
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

If you remember the band at the end of “Step Brothers,” anything they would have played is a guilty pleasure
anything they wouldn’t have not a guilty pleasure

i dig a good number of songs. i dunno, some people can’t really handle so much sincerity but it works beautifully for a song like “And So It Goes”

Music talk.. can't tell if it's real or not!
So conflicted.. music is my favorite thing ever.

Damn I am very upset I missed all this music discussion. Lady Gaga is a nutcase but she writes some damn good songs. Never liked Bruce much. I was a huge Dave Matthews fan back in the Crash/Before These Crowded Streets/Everyday times. Boy did his music go downhill.
I gotta check out the bands mentioned here, but right now my favorites are Muse and Porcupine Tree.
Dave Matthews is fucking unlistenable.

Just in case you haven’t seen Muse live, go see them. They are absolutely amazing performers, I saw them in Portland in April. Dear lord was that an amazing concert.
Oh, and my favorite bands include The Bravery, Franz Ferdinand and Rise Against.

The Bravery and Franz Ferdinand are legit
Really like them

Franz Ferdinand are one of my fave-os
Well, at least they used to be when I was more of a concert junkie. I was wandering around the lobby and ran into Nick McCarthy after their set at Not So Silent Night (I wasn’t inside because I didn’t want to listen to Modest Mouse) and got a hug. I asked for a kiss, but he said he couldn’t do it. D:

y’know, i don’t mind them so much now. but for some reason in the mid-2000s i hated them. i think it’s just the lead singer’s voice that was grating to me. listening to just the music alone, i probably should have liked them more.
