Post-game: Giants fall flat against Ubaldo
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 4, 2010 3:32 PM PDT

PrintWell, phooey. It's worth noting that this ridiculous run of success started with an unlikely victory against Ubaldo Jimenez. Asking them to do it again was, uh, unlikelier than we're really used to.
Inhale through the nostrils, exhale through the mouth. The Giants have a .500 record this season when facing Ubaldo Jimenez in Coors Field. They ensured a split of the series. If you meet every loss with spittle-flecked rage, you're going to stop enjoying baseball at some point, possibly taking out everyone in a Jamba Juice when you snap. Deep breaths.
Madison Bumgarner deserved a little better. He wasn't dominating, but he got dinked and dunked just a little. The defense was iffy behind him. He pitched well enough to last a little longer than he actually did. Maybe. I don't know. Feh.
If there's anything to take away from this game -- anything at all -- it's that Ubaldo gave up a run.
Certain members of the Giants team and organization were politely and impolitely refusing what was later referred to as "it." So tread carefully, Ubaldo. You got lucky this time. Also, you got really talented this time, pal. But Buster Posey.

Rockies fans who might be lurking, BUSTER POSEY DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY FIRST BASE, SO PLEASE STOP WRITING THAT.
Although I'll admit
Seeing that clip of Santana gets his leg crushed or thinking about Matheny’s concussions worries me
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
Buster was a SS before C
I wonder when he does eventually move if he would be up for something besides 1B. It would be killer if he followed in Biggio’s footsteps and went to middle infield.

Not a good game by any stretch, but also not a big deal, our fifth starter lost to their first, and one of the best pitchers in the NL, no shame in that at all. We still got this under control, BRING IT ATLANTA, WE’LL FUCK YOU UP
Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?
Giants really suck in day games after night games.

Im actually pretty content
We got a split, and today was just an uneventful loss. I couldn’t have realistically asked for better
I can’t get too worked up over a loss to Jimenez. If the Giants are going to have an all-around off day, might as well be one where he’s pitching.
This is true.

and if there is ever a silver lining, Denny Bautista getting donkey punch eiffel towered this game could possibly mean a much, much deserved DFA as we go back down to 12 men BP.
The only hesitation in DFAing a bullpen arm right now is that if anybody else in the bullpen is to get hurt, there is no obvious replacement of MLB pitching quality on the 40 man roster. (lol Hinshaw?). Well, guess what, neither is Bautista. And I think the Giants will finally come around today that he is terrible even as an insurance policy.

Baggs' tweet to the point
Baggs tweeted during the game: “I can’t really fathom why Denny Bautista is still in this game. Or why he’s still wearing a major league uniform, to be honest.”
12 pitchers would work, since Runzler and Affeldt should be back relatively soon, and Wellemeyer ditto, so that we will have obvious replacements on the 40-man.

His defense scared me a lot when he was a FA
Still does, but I would like to see if we could shove him to 1B.
We also do not have anyone in September we can call up to help rest our major producers for the (gasp) possible post season run. A fresh powerful, reliable bat would be pretty nice.
I do not want to put the pressure of continuing a stretch run on someone like Belt or Neal.

You think Sabean thought he was getting the "other" Javy Lopez
I mean he would make sense, he’s 39.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
I’d do it. Damon’s defense is better, and I still don’t fully trust Burrell.

Both true, of course
But again, his defense is probably better than the guy we have manning RF half the time (Huff).
Plus, he more than compensates with the bat. Dude’s already been worth 1.9 WAR this year.
He has a .370 OBP! .370! Why would you not want him on your team?

Uh, his “bat” has compensated for his defense this year because he’s barely played the field.
I wouldn’t be opposed to Damon on the team, but I’m wary about playing him in RF.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
True 'nuff, I suppose
But the Giants this year have been flouting defensive metrics pretty well, we might as well try it with Damon.
The though of having two gentlemen with OBPs over .360 batting in front of Huff and Posey makes me salivate.
I too am wary of his defense, but what he does with the bat makes him completely worth it.

That could work too, though I think he's good enough against lefties to warrant starts vs them too
And even a huge Bowker supporter would have a hard time making the case that he’s better than Johnny Damon…

Bumgarner getting outpitched by Jimenez was a bummer, but predictable. As was the Giants offense scoring 1 run the day after they scored 10.
What really ticked me off was Bochy’s bullpen management down three runs. Why are you saving your eight-man bullpen when your ace is going the next day and you just had a day off on Monday?
It might not have made a difference, but leaving Bautista in was a stroke of ungenius.

I cannot agree with leaving him in. At all.
I can understand putting him in at that spot. “Son, your job is on the line and you know it. Go out there and prove that you belong on this team.”

Bork left him out there too long.
The rule as I have pointed out on multiple occasions is that a hard thrower should not be out there for more than 40 pitches maximum over a 2-day period — and even that should only happen if the first day’s appearance was preceded by 3 days of rest.
Through 40 pitches today Denny had not allowed a run and he was pitching on 3 days rest.

Posey “fine” after taking Spilborghs foul tip off R shoulder in 6th. Bochy removed him after ing. "It stiffened up, caught me pretty square.
Posey on rookie of month award: “Eh . . . it’s a nice honor, I guess. Ask me a name for rookie of the month any time last year.”
How about player of the month? “Same thing.” (this kid’s awesome)

lol logical fallacies
why do you even bother trolling over here? it’s tiresome.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
How about you getting some context here before making assumptions
On his thoughts to end the streak:
"Indifferent, I guess. I had fun with it. I concentrated on winning ballgames as much as possible. In a way, it’s nice the attention will go back to that instead of the streak."
On coming up one game short of matching Willie McCovey’s club record for a hitting streak by a rookie:
"It would’ve been something cool to have. At the same time, I know who Willie McCovey is. I didn’t know he had the Giants’ rookie record for a hitting streak. Know what I mean?"
This is the exact same scenario. Nobody cares who the June player of the month is. Nobody cares who the May Rookie player of the month is. I don’t know who it is. NOBODY CARES once the calendar turns.
Jeff Kent received a watch for player of the month. He never even picked it up. Mike Murphy, the Giants clubhouse manager, still has it on his desk. The players don’t give a shit about this. Their sight is on bigger things for the team like getting to the playoffs, or bigger awards like Rookie of the Year or MVP.
Player of the month? Rookie of the month? Nobody gives a shit. And if another player is upset that Posey is downplaying the importance of the award, then that guy is a fucking nobody with his priority all fucked up. Oh JEEZ I WAS PLAYER OF THE MONTH HOW COULD BUSTER POSEY FUCKING DISS ME LIKE THAT.
Like, seriously?

I always thought the Rolaids Relief Award was a pretty humorously named prize. I think there’s too many awards in sports sometimes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolaids_Relief_Man_Award
Ask me about my blog.
The nature of baseball is elongated.
Goodness, much less greatness, is defined in terms longer than a month. I guess that in football “Player of the Week” might mean something, but it gets ridiculous in baseball when a sponsor awards a “Player of the Game.” That guy might, in the right circumstances, be Denny Bautista. How humble should he be upon receiving it?
I don’t know if Buster was too humble or too proud to acknowledge the award, but he was right in either case.

Are you upset that Buster is hurting his contract negotiations or that he sullied the game or that he’s not on your team or that he hasn’t accepted Carlos Gonzalez as his Lord and Savior…?
First I'm actually not of the Lord and Savior type, nice try though
so I don’t care about that.
I just think that a player as good as Posey and a rookie might do better to be a bit more appreciative of his status.
anyway…I do enjoy the banter here…and Go Braves!

The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
what does this even have anything to do with what we're talking about here
so Cargo is going to get paid less because Posey said the award is insignificant? that the rockies management is going to show Fowler the quote from Posey and say :
“hey look, this award doesn’t mean anything?”
You didn’t even consider the contract implications until now, and you’re just throwing shit out there to see what sticks. This has zero bearings on the discussion at hand, which is your perception that Posey is being arrogant about winning an award that, in his mind, doesn’t mean much.

Hopefully jimmy tracy keeps the veteran cookie in the rotation and leaves chacin in triple A I didn’t enjoy the last time he pitched against the giants.
"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 actually think Cookie might land on DL
in all seriousness, there is some concern about his arm being dead now…:(
If nothing else, Cook goes to the BP and Chacin will likely still come up and be in the rotation.

Dude.
What the hell do you think this is an etiquette dinner? Charm school? It’s freaking baseball, played by guys who have always been given what they want, in general have egos as inflated as their pectorals, and in most cases didn’t finish college before they were given checks for more money than most of us made in our first 5 years out of college combined. To criticize Posey for his “meh” comments is beyond ridiculous, it’s shameful. Stop expecting players to owe you the refined behavior one might expect from a foreign embassador or a New York PR executive and enjoy what they give you on the field. Their essentially kids who have always achieved what they wanted in their lives and have a self concept of invincibility because of it.
Who the hell are you anyway? Rick Reilly?

Posey "fine" after taking Spilborghs foul tip off R shoulder in 6th. Bochy removed him after ing. "It stiffened up, caught me pretty square.
this is the problem with Twitter.
What exactly is happening here? Buster is “Fine” meaning that he wont miss any starts, but he was hurt just enough to remove from the game? or is he saying that he was removed as a precaution? or was it just one of those screwy Borkisms again where he feels the need to remove the best hitter in the lineup for no apparent reason?
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
I think he means “fine” as in damn, he fine.

So the giants slaughter the rockies at coors and beat them 10-0 and pull within one game of first place and pad their wild card lead to 3 games yet it’s backpage news and treated like the royals beating the A’s. Yet ubualdo touches a ball and the rockies abuse the humidor and its front page breaking news of “Ubualdo dominates giants” like the rockies are in first place and ubualdo just threw a no hitter. Are the giants really that much of a fucking joke to the baseball world? I figure after a 22-6 june the giants would get some respect but apparently they are pretenders and the rockies and dodgers are the real deal.

Play on the wrong coast...
Baseball is most important in the states where it is played the least, and consequently has the least knowledgeable fan bases. In California we played baseball year round, because the weather allowed it. In the northeast, they play for about 4 months if that. It’s very ironical.

Giants beat the D-backs 10-0
by TimLaser and MattyC on Aug 4, 2010 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Holy shit, this is getting tiresome. There is plenty of LOCAL PRESS that covers the Giants in great detail. Let the national broadcasts continue to play to the margins.
well, I'm not sure there's that much local press
what with the two measly stinkin beat writers the team has nowadays, but point taken.
three if you count Haft.
But how much coverage does one need every night after they just invested 3-4 hours of their day WATCHING the game, no doubt chatting about it with friends and peers on-line or in person maybe another hour or so (or 4+ if you braved last night’s post-game thread) and knowing there’s going to be another game less than 24 hours later?
If one believes that they should live their lives without caring what others think of them, then it stands to reason that they should feel free to love and embrace whatever they want without fear of what others think about it.
There is. Two beat writers is plenty. And remember that Baggs’ stuff gets published in a few different papers because they are owned by the same company.
"I AIN'T HAVIN IT." - Buster Posey
more beat writers = more choices
There certainly used to be more and considering we have big problems with the two we have (HS = shill, AB = not stat-friendly enough), it’d be nice if we had a couple more options.
It will never happen, of course, but in a world of unicorns, I would like 5-6 guys covering this team.
Less Beat Writers
More Beat LA

I wish I would stop cheating. fuck. this is jctgamer's fault -- jponry
You don’t need a stat-friendly beat reporter, really. That’s not the point of them. That’s why the niche stat-friendly sites have cropped up. You need a beat reporter with access, ideally one who is not JUST a shill, but one who can at least walk the line between reporter and critic without ruffling too many feathers. Baggs has shown he can do this from time to time.
It doesn't hurt
A beat writer usually has to be able to perform some perfunctory analysis (especially in today’s age where they usually also have to write the game report, a couple blog posts, and maintain a Twitter feed). Lots of beat writers will feed some numbers into their notes – someone who understands stats will be better placed to understand and analyze somebody going 3-6 vs. a certain pitcher rather than someone who says 3-6 VS PITCHER OWNAGE!!!!! without understanding sample size issues.
I'm not old enough to remember
But when did papers like the Oakland Trib, Sac Bee, or Press-Democrat actually cover the Giants on a regular basis? Not talking columnists, talking beat writers.
"I AIN'T HAVIN IT." - Buster Posey
Ah, okay. Like I said, I’m not old enough to remember a day when most of the papers had their own beat writer.
"I AIN'T HAVIN IT." - Buster Posey
Certainly at the beginning of the SF era
virtually every newspaper in the region had a guy, at least for home games.
This is not an exhaustive list and partial guesswork, but 20 years ago I think the Press-Dem, the Trib, the Bee, the Merc, the Chron and of course the Examiner all had their own guy at games.
Just the Examiner going has had a profound impact on press coverage.
Just the biz as a whole changing
Multiple papers in the area are owned by the same company (Media News Group IIRC), so of course they are going to only use one writer.
"I AIN'T HAVIN IT." - Buster Posey
Oh, of course
…hence the comment about this only happening in a world of unicorns.
But if get unicorns, I want 5-6 guys following the team every day.
Interesting that the Press Dem only has a 49er beat writer now. Clearly they can only afford 8 road trips instead of 81. Too bad, as the Press Dem used to have pretty good sports coverage. It always annoyed me as a San Franciscan that the best local sports coverage tended not to emanate from here, except for Ira Miller.

Well he has really learned to hit the pro breaking ball and he totally developed as a player since the last time I saw him.

he had a whole 81 at-bats and should have had all the confidence in the world when he was named the starter.. his fault nothing on Bochy at all

"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."
Bay Area media logic about all Giant castoffs that succeed elsewhere: “He just needed a change of scenery, He never could have done this with the Giants.” Like their talent magically returns once they take off that Giants uniform, and had nothing to do with the veteran loving General Manager/Manager.

I had a childhood “friend” who had a very poor single mother. She made him eat everything on his plate, no matter what. Apparently there was a time where he became sick because of this and vomited it up back onto his plate. She made him eat it.
They are now estranged. Apparently as soon as he hit 18 he moved out and broke contact. She was able to track him down via a friend at the DMV. She showed up at his door which was then slammed in her face. She went back a few days later and he had moved.

Meh...I'm over it...
The worse image would be a picture of Ortiz handing the ball to Dusty…
BTW: I was at game 7…if was an awful game because 1) what happened in game 6, 2) stupid Thundersticks, 3) the fact that Dusty gave the Giants no chance by starting Hernandez over Reuter against a super aggressive first ball hitting time, and 4) F’ing Eckstein
This just makes me sad.
You are an ass.

Ocelets are still in parts of South Texas (Rio Grande Valley)
It’s nearly impossible to spot one these days in the wild. I think I knew one person who saw one off some banged up backroad, for all of three seconds.
When I learned they were still around, my cat became indoor-only. Not that they would get anywhere near McAllen, but still…
Our mountain lions would kick your ocelets' asses!

LOL SCOTT
Among the hitters most adapt at avoiding 0-2 counts are the high-power and high-walk sluggers you’d expect. David Ortiz leads the list at 14.5%, Jim Thome is 4th, Alex Rodriguez is 5th, Albert Pujols is 8th. There are some surprises though like Casey Kotchman being 2nd. Unsurprisingly, much worse hitters populate the other end of the ranking. Aaron Rowand has the worst mark at a whopping 40% followed by Wes Helms (37%) and Mark Ellis (35%). In fact, there are virtually no successful hitters above the 30% mark aside from maybe Cody Ross.
"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."
40%?
That’s truly incredible. How do you get into an 0-2 count 40% of the time?
I wonder if anyone in management is aware of this.
Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if this was news to everyone including Rownad.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
You can't spell "Aaron Rowand" with out O-1 and O-2

Hey djp4cal, I just got back from the Real Madrid v. Club America match at Candlestick… I had a blast! The crowd was incredible and it was a great game all around. 3-2 to Madrid, and I got to see Ronaldo score on a free kick from just outside the box, so I can cross that off my bucket list.
As soon as I get the means I’m hauling ass to Europe to catch a league game. It has been too long.

were the vuvuzella’s going wild or do they not do that shit out here?

Mexican fans love their vuvuzelas so yes, there were a lot of them. They aren’t as annoying when you are there in person for some reason, but I definitely prefer the chanting and singing the fans do in England

To be honest, I didn’t have a huge problem with the vuvuzelas during the WC. I don’t know why, I wasn’t completely opposed to them like a lot of people I know.

I had no problem with them. Maybe if I was sitting next to somebody using one, it would be different. But they didn’t bother me at all on TV.

Was it pretty crowded? How awesome was seeing Ronaldo

A friend of mine missed half of the match waiting in line just to get in, and apparently it’s been horrible for her to try and get home, so I’m guessing it was.

Yeah it was pretty crowded, and the fans were fantastic. Setting off smoke flares and whatnot. Ronaldo is incredible, he basically dictated the pace of the game on his own.

And I must say, I need to find my way over to Spain one of these days because Madrid had some lovely lady fans.
The guy next to me had clearly been working up his courage all night, and at one point he turned to the woman a few seats down and said, “So are the 49ers the guys in white?” The girl wasn’t catching on though, and she just smiled and said “No that is Real Madrid.” He replied, “Oh wait, this is a soccer game?”, and she just sort of laughed. I gotta give him credit for the effort, at least.

He got a smile and a laugh, which isn’t too bad, considering

I was in Italy for 9 weeks this spring
I saw 2 games in Milan at San Siro Stadium… Inter vs Atalanta and AC Milan vs Juventus
Awesome experience, the people there were as loud as I’ve ever heard fans just for the player intros. That and the flares and m-80s people are lighting in the middle of the game….
I actually got the chance to see the Champions League Final in Madrid between Inter and Bayern Munich. That was amazing. The stadium was shaking when Milito scored both of his goals.

The last match I saw was Rangers v. Celtic in Glasgow… Viciously intense rivalry, lots of fun. I’d definitely like to see a game in Milan, and you’re incredibly lucky to have been able to see a Champions League final!

AC Milan vs Juventus
So jealous. Even though it was one of the worst seasons Juve has ever had and they totally laid an egg in that game, I still would have gone to see them in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself.
Did you get any kind of gear at the San Siro? And please tell me you took like 5,000 pictures.

I had to go even though it was a down year. My grandma is from Torino, so Juventus is my team. Still have some cousins over there. I used to have a Baggio poster back in my bedroom right next to my Bonds poster in ’93. I got a Juve scarf at the game. I also have an Inter/Bayern scarf from the Champions League Final.
