I have an opinion on this decision, but I will wait to voice it until I see the outcome

Sanchez is totally capable of getting three outs. But I would rather have PH for him.

Mark DeRosa is playing exactly the same amount of professional baseball as his adopted father, these days.

Once one of my professors was in the middle of writing a textbook, so we were able to buy the unfinished draft for $10 and use it. It was missing a ton of chapters and had a lot of grammatical errors, but hey, it was a large, cheap textbook. I wasn’t complaining.

People always make those comments on ANY decision that is logical either way, just in the case that it if the worst happens, they can point to it.

Sanchez had a good 8th inning. The reason to take him out relied on a baseball misconception that 100 is some magical number that kills pitcher. If Sanchez had, for example, 91 pitches, no one questions that decision to put him back in. If Sanchez had a shaky 8th, yes, it makes sense to take him out, but he didn’t, so give him a chance to finish it. If he doesn’t look good starting the 8th, bring in your reliable best reliever to finish it.

Why is that “SO RETARDED?”

by kingofthacove on Aug 30, 2010 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

100 isn’t some magical number, but Sanchez often loses it after that point and he often loses it very quickly.

He was leading off the eighth inning. The Giants had only a one run lead. There is no reason to leave him in.

it’s not a guaranteed run, no, but you certainly have a much better chance with someone who doesn’t have a career line of .109/.142/.122 at the plate.

It’s not a much better chance for the sole fact that there’s very little chance in the first place. Assuming Torres and Sanchez do the same things, our chances to score a run aren’t very high simply based on giving Jose Guillen one bat over Sanchez.

I can completely understand why Bochy thinks Sanchez pitching the 9th outweighs this.

Replacing one batter does not have a significant difference in most small contexts, especially in measuring expected run value over 1 inning. If you calculated the formula: [(Guillen + Torres + Sanchez)/PA] / [(Sanchez + Torres + Sanchez)/PA] I’m sure you’d get a very small number above 1.

re-read my formula. It’s basically measuring the factor in which 1-2-3a is better than 1-2-3b. If Guillen’s value is 2x more than Sanchez’s, the factor is bigger than if it’s 1.1x bigger.

by kingofthacove on Aug 30, 2010 10:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

in that case

Sanchez is 30% worse than average.
Torres (post approach change) is about 30% above average.
FSanch is almost average
Guillen is exactly average

so, quick and dirty
(1+1.3+1)/(-.3+1.3+1) = 1.65.

Yes, it is surprising, unless I’m not thinking of it the right way.

using the '99-'02 RE chart

and an average offense (which the Giants have)

With 0 on and 0 out, the RE is .55.
With 0 on and 1 out, which is basically what you’re getting with Sanchez, the RE is .297. If you adjust both numbers a little down for the lowered run context we’re in, and adjust the 2nd a little bit up because Sanchez isn’t actually a guaranteed out, my hypotheticals are pretty close.

No.

The reason to take him out was based on the following things (from my perspective):
-Sanchez is a notoriously low-stamina pitcher, with one complete game in his career. Furthermore, he’s a headcase who tends to get wonky in tense situations, such as the 9th inning with a 1-run lead.

-He was leading off the 8th. Great time to try to get some insurance runs with the top of the order coming up, especially with some decent hitters on the bench.

-We knew that he’d give up a baserunner in the 9th and get yanked anyway, because that’s what happens every single god damn time Bochy does this, so why not pull him ahead of time?

There’s been a lot of press (not just from SF media) that he’s good at the intrapersonal stuff; the Giants are said to love playing for him. Look at what happened to the Mariners – that’s kind of a thing with “big personalities” on the roster.

But, I’m pretty sure there are managers out there, whose players like them, that are capable of using a goddamn bullpen.

It's Johnnie Walker inside.

No, I think the board is incorrect in the assumption that Bochy is having a major difference in influencing our chances to win games. Wilson giving up the hit, Ross’ defense, and Sanchez’s defense all he had a significantly larger impact. I don’t think Bochy’s decision has a major impact either way.

Sanchez’s walk cost us one base. The combination of Wilson’s hit allowed and poor defense cost us four bases. So yes, that walk was much less significant.

I seriously doubt that

I think the frantic re-write would’ve come from the Giants actually holding the 1-0 lead.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

i think that one was the rewrite. the one going up right now was probably the one he had written before.

How many times...

…has Bochy brought in Ishi as a defensive replacement, only to end up losing the lead and counting on Ishi in the 9th?

I tend to agree with owlcroft in this case that not gaining ground at this point in the season IS losing ground.

You can lose this type of game if you’re in 1st place, not when you’re well behind.

Another classic.

When the Giants were the better team, way back when, it wasn’t a guarantee that they’d win more often than not. Now that they’re most certainly not the better team, they seemingly never win the games they “should” win. I don’t know what to make of Cody Ross now. I know Jose Guillen is atrocious in the field, but now I have to at least accept that Ross can’t play right at AT&T during a playoff run.

by Every6thDay on Aug 30, 2010 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's a Centerfielder

what do you expect? Ross stunk all night. Don’t forget the double play when the Giants had their one inning they might have done something. .
