Post-game thread: Giants outlast Cubs

PrintPhew.
One of these games, Buster Posey will end a game at home. He might end it with a walk, a bloop single, a triple...one of these games, Posey will be the one beneath the mob as the Giants celebrate a win. The natural inclination, then, is to think, hey, screw you Cubs for walking Posey with the winning run at third and nobody out. This was our chance to watch that. But, no, that's not right. When Posey does it for the first time, probably in the seventh game of the World Series this year, we will ascend. Everyone will be waiting for you. So blessed are we. The Cubs don't know that they're a part of the grand plan, but they are.
Today, though, no one cares about who won the game. Giants win on a walkoff sacrifice fly, which is the baseball equivalent of "The French Connection" ending with a courtroom scene. Don't care. All that matters is that it was a win. Fine with me. Because if the Giants lost to this performance...
...there would have been some serious yowling. Yowling. Seven walks? Hard hit balls everywhere into outs? It was painful. But the Giants were able to come back, in no small part because of this performance:
Complain about this bullpen around an Orioles fan, and you might get stabbed. They shouldn't be the problem, and it's nice to see they've escaped the gravity of the midseason suck hole.
The Giants needed that win in that classic not-must-win kind of way. They had an unbroken chain of hits in the eleven, and when the eyes of the world turned to Buster Posey, the other one, Pat Burrell, knew that help was on the way, and the saint of circumstance sent a ripple through the park, and the Giants were able to say, "We bid you good night!"
/twirls for a bit
Ahem. Good win.

I wouldn’t trade Rowand for Zambrano in a million years. At least Rowand cares, he’s just not good, and he’s a good guy in the clubhouse. Zambrano’s a bad teammate, and as soon as he signed that big deal, he stopped working. That high nineties fastball is gone and he couldn’t care less.

yes but Rowand has more years and more dollars left on his contract than Beltran, it makes zero sense for the Mets to swap those 2 contracts. I highly doubt they’ll even consider this unless the Giants ship B+ prospects along with the deal.

Why double switch Burriss into the game and then remove him for Sanchez a couple of innings later. Double switching Mole in would have saved a bench player. By the way, why bring him up when you obviously have no faith in him? How about bringing up a late inning bat, like Guzman or Borchardt?

Yes, but . . .
. . . like any non-AB, it has to be accounted for in the scoring. The scoring categories are AB, BB, HB, SH, SF, and CI, and those must total the PA number (which is also the BFP number).
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
wasn't that a different time?
i thought this guy moved to second on a steal when it was pretty clearly batters interference. could be remembering wrong though
The hitter moved across the plate after swinging, interfering with the catcher’s throw to second on the steal attempt. It was technically ‘offensive interference’ apparently – the catcher’s interference was a different play.

10+ k/9 is absurd, and he’s been really good outside of a few meltdowns
Casilla vs. Ramirez

And finds that . . .
. . . they do not match the definition. Fairly good and fairly bad are not fungible. Gas Can #1 is gone; now it’s time for Gas Can #2 (preferably before the explosion).
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Why?
Or why not? (Depending on how one takes it.) His career is that of a fairly decent pitcher—not HoF or anything, but nontrivially better than average. His career ERA is 3.51, and I think that’s actually a pretty good representation of his abilities. His career BABIP is a low .281, but looking over his five seasons it seems pretty consistent there. His only poor year was 2007, and in that season his BABIP was a wildly uncharacteristic .365.

Pat Burrell Penthouse Interview Circa 2001
Pat Burrell 2001 April Penthouse Interview:
Q: Is it true that your off-season home of Clearwater, Florida, has strip joints on every corner?
A: It does seem liek there is one on every corner. I’m not a big fan of them. Something that surprised me at this one strip joint is, when you walk in, they give you a towell. I asked, “What do I need this for?” The guy at the door said, “Trust me, you will.” I said, “Let me get this straight. A girl is going to dance for however long the song is, and I’m going to need this towel?” Let me tell you, I needed the towel. I don’t know what happened. Nothing of mine touched anything of hers. It just doesn’t make sense.
Q: So, I hear you read penthouse magazine just for the articles, is that true?
A: I read the Jeremy Giambi interview a couple of months ago. good God, what is up with that mink coat? I loved his motto about hitting like an all-star and fucking like a porn star.
Q: What do you like to see women wear?
A: I prefer nothing.
Q: What would make you run from a woman’s bedroom?
A: I’m into “manicured landscapes.” If I’m with a girl who has “bad hedging,” and need to cut the “grass,” I think I’d leave.
Q: Are you a better lover or baseball player?
A: That’s probably something that could best be answered by others. But I think I’ve got both areas right where the need to be.
Q: Would cheerleaders spice up the game a bit?
A: I don’t think it would hurt, and I know the players would love it. I’m pretty sure my teammate Randy Wolf, would be a strong supporter of cheerleaders far beyond anyone else.
Q: Whats the craziest way you’ve met a woman during a game?
A: One thing I did was grab a baseball and sign my name of the bar I wanted to meet her at after the game?
Q: Are you the type that likes to watch?
A: I’d rather be in the middle of two women than watch. You can only look for so long before you have to jump into the fire.
Q: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever worn.
A: Every year rookies have these things they have to do. First off, I don’t wear underwear…ever. I haven’t worn a pair in years. i had to wear this little dress. It was tight and I wasn’t wearing and underwear. When I walked out of the stadium at Wrigley Field to get on our bus, there were about 10,000 people laughing at me. Then I had to get on the team plane, and it was pretty windy on the runway.
Q: Who is your dream date?
A: I haev something for Britney Spears. Some people wonder, are her boobs real? I wouldn’t mind finding out personally.
Q: When you first meet a woman for the first time, how long is it before you are thinking about what she looks like naked.
A: Within seconds.

To quote the great me
Burrell could be the power-hitting aquisition that makes the difference and he didn’t cost us a thing.
As I’ve said a bunch of times, I’d pull him if he’s ineffective and/or looks lost at the plate, but I want to see 150 PAs before making that decision.
Well, it’s been 170 PAs and my decision is made.

So, what are the thoughts on sending Ishi? I think it was a dumb move, personally. I mean yeah it’s the winning run, but c’mon. I was shocked.
Still think it was the right move. 2 outs, ended up being a close play and only because of a great throw.
by scottishgiants on Aug 10, 2010 12:33 AM PDT up reply actions
Right move. It took an absolute gem of a throw from 309 feet out and a perfect relay to get him out at the plate. And if Ishikawa bowls over the catcher instead of trying to maneuver around him (seriously, WTF) he’d have had an even better chance to score.

it was an absolute gem of a throw, but an imperfect throw still would have beat him. the ball got there several steps ahead of Ishikawa.
Mark DeRosa is playing exactly the same amount of professional baseball as his adopted father, these days.
Maybe one imperfect throw, but don’t forget there was a relay. Getting bit by two perfect throws from the wall at home doesn’t happen that often. We got bit this time, but I’d hope Flannery sends someone with non-Molinesque speed any day.

In retrospect, I think it was the right move, but man, was it frustrating to watch unfold because I knew what would happen.
This is truth
If you think about, Flannery basically has to make that call when Ishi is between 2nd and 3rd, which would roughly equate to right around when the right fielder had bobbled the ball and was going to pick it up. The play went perfectly for the Cubs, but if any part of the play had sucked we would have won. Wide throw, right fielder off balance, whathaveyou.
It was the right call to send him. Sometimes shit sucks.

I'd argue that Ishi scoring/not scoring on that play was aboutabout 50/50
I’d also argue the combined odds of a Rent single or a run scoring Cubs error/wild pitch/passed ball are still less than that.
Especially at home in a tie game, I say go for the win.

I think 50/50 or 40/60 is fair – it took two PERFECT throws to get him, and even then, he almost got his hand on the plate. It was frustrating – but I, for one, love the aggression – especially the way that game had been going.

Vin Mazzaro and Phil Hughes were honorable mentions.

This reminds me of when I was watching Lost online (before I realized it was on Hulu), and I watched the episode with Sun/Jin. They were mostly speaking Korean translated into English but then it it had some type of Asian language subtitles over that.
I watched the entire episode and had no idea wtf I watched.

missed the end of the game
Trying to fast forward to the last inning on comcast replay. Its been 20 minutes and it’s only in the 6th inning. Boooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Went tonight. Takeaways:
1. team is gritty. its like they’ve been able to take rowand’s gamerness and infect the entire team with pure grit.
2. nasty bullpen is pillar of this gritty team, as are Water Buffaloes and Andres Torres.
3. Bumgarner endures bad luck well. Emerging pillar of grittiness,
4. Ugly game maybe, but it was quite the happy ending if you were sitting near obnoxious cub fans. Suck it, Wrigleyvillagers!
5. Heckling Carlos Zambrano is fun for the whole family! He melts down, yells at no one, paces around and generally acts like he’s off his meds. He may be a crappy pitcher, but he’s a great entertainer.

While it’s not easy being a fan of the perennially bad teams, can you imagine being a broadcaster.
You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.
i got a kick out of this
they are huge fans and it was kind of hilarious to hear them react like that. at the same time a little unprofessional.
but i give them a SLIGHT mulligan bc that was a crazy game, when you consider stewart hit the tying 3 run shot int he ninth, helton out of nowhere hits a 2 run shot in the top of the 10th before alvarez’s HR.

The Dodgers have “strong interest” in Jose Guillen for a part-time role, tweets ESPN’s Enrique Rojas. He adds that the Dodgers might wait for Guillen to be released, as the DH/outfielder was designated for assignment by the Royals five days ago. The Giants are the only other team known to have some measure of interest in Guillen.

Great inaugrual Jerry Day
They had an unbroken chain of hits in the eleven, and when the eyes of the world turned to Buster Posey, the other one, Pat Burrell, knew that help was on the way, and the saint of circumstance sent a ripple through the park, and the Giants were able to say, “We bid you good night!”
Very nice! It was a terrific Jerry Day… those bobbleheads are awesome… complete with a SYF logo on the back of his Giants jacket. I ran into friends and yakked with fellow hippies all over the park… it was just like the old show days.
Only one complaint: They couldn’t make “Barry-oke” a Dead song? I don’t even know that Mayer song but I could peg the artist anyway.
That throw from Fontenot to end the 10th was something else. I thought they had no chance to get him.

I kept hoping they’d get into it as the game progressed and became more and more exciting… luckily, most of them left after the 9th inning so the actual BASEBALL FANS could enjoy the very exciting ending to that game.
Jerry Day
I don’t know where you get your information, but there were plenty of us baseball fans in Jerry Day section 320. I saw people leaving across the stadium pretty evenly in the late innings.

It's something beyond "important" . . .

The problem is (as usual) Bochy: he has Lopez pitch to a couple of lefties, then gets tempted to let him stay in for a righty because fourth guy up is another leftie. Not good. That will come back to bite at some point.

There are also plenty of children birthed by gay women and from gay men, so, you know, reproduction: it’s totally not impossible if you’re gay.

What do infertile bears who can't adopt or kidnap and the World Series have in common?
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Wait… I know this one….

I still think Ramirez is kind of crappy
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
It's not just about the two players..
it’s about depth…watching the Braves and Padres…the bullpen is really good and deep …that really allows a manager to match up and not be afraid to use his bullpen. Conversely, look at the the Bums who have one automatic guy (Kuo) but the rest of the bullpen is basically a grease fire.
Don’t forget that Sabean also picked up Ray…
OK – I just don’t really think Ramirez is much of an upgrade on Denny Bautista.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
His walk rate is lower than Bautista’s, but is still pretty bad for a reliever (3.7 per 9) and his strikeout rate is much, much worse.

I remember you talking about how his FIP is kind of crappy or something, but I look at his career peripherals and it really seems pretty solid. It might be that FIP is smarter than me, but I don’t see what’s so bad about him.

The last two years he’s walked around 4 per 9 while striking out less than 7. Meh.

Yeah, I guess. But it was still only two years ago that he was pretty effective. I know recent history is more important and all, but eh.

His career has been decent or better.
What suggests otherwise?
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
My feelings have not changed. He still paid too much, like he himself said he did.
Mark DeRosa is playing exactly the same amount of professional baseball as his adopted father, these days.
It’s still way too early to make the decision.

Shift A
So did hokysmokes get banned or what? Kinda looks like he went overboard at the top of the thread.

Contrary to what some people might say, it takes a lot to get banned here. But hokysmokes needs to tone it down.

Thanks. I didn’t have a strong feeling one way or the other, just seemed like he stepped it up a notch.
