Post-game thread: Turnabout is fair play

PrintI don’t think I’ll watch the bottom of the ninth. If they hold on, great. If they blow it, well, I don’t need to watch that nonsense.
...
...
Fine. I’ll watch, but I don’t have to like it.
Oh.
Oh, that felt good.
The Giants just out-Padred the Padres. The Giants scored the only run of the game when a hit-by-pitch led to a stolen base that led to a busted fielder’s choice that led to a fielder’s choice. The Padres had all sorts of runners on base, but they couldn’t get them in. That was Brian De Palma directing a better movie than Alfred Hitchcock. Physicists had declared it was impossible, but there it was...
Jonathan Sanchez walked seven. Seven! Even though he hadn’t allowed a run, Bochy pulled him after the fifth inning. It wasn’t the obvious call, but it was the right call. Some managers would have said, gee, the guy’s effectively wild. Bochy correctly saw that Sanchez was urinating kerosene around the campfire. Yoink. It was the right move, especially in September with the expanded rosters.
Juan Uribe robbed Miguel Tejada three straight times with slick plays at third. It was kind of funny.
Eli Whiteside threw out the runner he needed to throw out.
Four innings from the bullpen. Three baserunners.
Brian Wilson came out in the ninth, and his slider was junk. He stopped throwing sliders. And it was beautiful.
Assured of a split. But that’s weenie talk. More, please.

I would gladly bring back Ramirez, Casilla, Lopez, Runzler, Affeldt, Romo, and Wilson for 2011. That’d be a downright nasty bullpen. I think Mota will need to go. He’s untrustworthy of a lead.
by giant4life83 on Sep 10, 2010 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Mostly, but . . .
. . . I’d rather Ray than Casilla, and I hold some doubts about both Affeldt and Runzler. Mota’s OK, but his loss would scarcely be an issue. I’d start out with Affeldt and Runzler, especially as they are LHPs, but I’d try to open up some options.

i forgot about Ray!!! i dont what to do then. Wilson, Romo, Affeldt, Runzler need to stay for sure. Ramirez is good middle relief, lopez great situational, so it’s casilla or ray. Casilla is the only reliver (besides willy) who can throw 100 and rack up Ks so it’s best to keep him too. maybe jsut go with 13 man pitching, 12 man bench?
by giant4life83 on Sep 11, 2010 1:57 AM PDT up reply actions
Though I have always liked it . . .
. . . it’s a little rough in the NL (for the AL, with the DH, there’s no serious argument for any other arrangement, despite most managers doing it with 12 pitchers (or, sometimes, fewer).
But I suggest you look again at both Affeldt’s and Runzler’s numbers. Neither is “throw-away” material, but there is enough in the histories to make the pencil more appropriate than the pen. (Affeldt is complex, because one has to strike out his work as a starter, and possibly in seasons with mixed use.)

Casilla’s true talent level obviously isn’t a 2.20 ERA pitcher, but he’s been a decent pitcher this year. He walks too many people, but he strikes out so many that he’s still effective. His FIP this year is around 3.50. For the back of a bullpen, that’s a useful pitcher to have.

His walks rate for 2010 . . .
. . . is actually hair worse than his career number. But, with a reasonable BABIP, he has materially cut down both his hits rate and his power factor. Those who think this represents a real and permanent change in his abilities may want to ask themselves how and why. I won’t say adamantly that he hasn’t chanegd for the better, but in a 2011 roster, I use #1 pencil for his name.

Eh.
I don’t see that either decision was anything a reasonably bright batboy couldn’t have seen as the way to go. Sanchez may have given up nothing, but a walks rate like that, especially getting into the territory when he normally fades anyway, is a whacking big red arrow pointing down the road that says “bullpen”.
And, to speak of the pen, when Wilson came up, there was one inning to go with a one-run lead, and the cream of the pen already used. Wanna take your chances on a PH, then run, say, Mota out there for the 9th? Granted, seeing even that was, for Bruce Bochy, A Deep Insight, but folk accustomed to managers 3 watts brighter than Bochy would not have seen anything exciting there.

Well
I was in various bars for the game with split attention so I can’t really counter on the Sanchez thing. But I think yes, it would be perfectly reasonable with the bases loaded and a one run lead to try to get more runs in before the bottom of the 9th.

I am unclear about the Eckstein hate . . .
. . . because the man is not, and has not been for several years, a major-league caliber player—shouldn’t the idea be sympathy for this poor bastard asked everyday to do what he cannot, and only very rarely could? (In a ten-year major-league career, he has had two fairly good seasons, one passable, and the rest somewhere from rather poor to mind-bendingly horrid.) Should we be kicking blind cripples around?

on the flip side, he didn’t go out to the mound when Sanchy was pitching, to calm him down. Didn’t do a great job catching (other than the throwout at 2nd) and def hit for shit

That signifies naught.
Some pitchers need a kick, some a pat, and some to be left alone. Sanchez does not seem a man unaware of his problems when he has them, but does seem a man who might get even more gravelled by being reminded of what he already knows well. Unless you know him, and Whitside, quite well personally, I’d say assume that each knows his job and what he is about. They have worked well enough in the past.

At times like this, exulting in a victory in this exciting pennant race, it’s important to take a step back and look at the other important narrative of this season – the utter collapse of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Look at where they started the season. High payroll, tons of press coverage, All-stars in the bullpen, and an outfield heralded as the best in the majors. It’d be a stretch to say they had the division sewn up, but they were definitely predicted as a contender.
And now? Sub-500, fourth place, bleeding impact players like the D-Backs after a contending season; rolling over for a team in the throes of a 10-game losing streak; and having just traded prospects and youth to plug some holes for a last valiant dive at the playoffs, resulting only in an epic and embarrassing belly flop.

Do you really think anything of substance is said during meetings with catchers / pitching coaches, etc? I can’t believe that there is any real help there, or that they are telling the pitcher anything he doesn’t already know (other than if they notice a mechanical issue). Remember, it’s 100% mental.
i dunno, posey seems to calm down the pitchers. at least it seems less bad things happen after he talks to them than not.
whiteside let sanchez walk 2 guys, then go 2-0 on the next before going out there.
and he called 9 straight FBs when sanchez couldnt locate it for shit

I blame this loss on the fact that, while I was trying to get my kids to bed, “Gaslamp Ballers” were busy making friends with Giants Fan during a F_CKING JONATHAN SANCHEZ START… WITH FIRST PLACE ON THE LINE.
I mean, really? Really? I guess that’s how we roll now. All lovey dovey while sole possession of FIRST F_CKING PLACE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US.
“Oh that’s just Dex reprimanding us again! He doesn’t even read the blog! What does he know!?”
I’ll tell you what I know. I know that, while I may have little to no effect on the outcome of the field of plan, the Ban Hammer is still wielded in my hand and still can come down hard and fast.
Maybe it’s for the best. Once the Giants take sole possession of first place from us tomorrow here at home, when Giants Fan comes to ridicule us, we’ll be able to self-deprecatingly laugh with them since we’re buddies now. That’s good.
Ugh. Take a good hard look at this and feel ashamed.

Yeah, I see that.
I guess it’s the writing thing that threw me. Hitchcoock out-directing DePalma I get, but Hitchcock only wrote early in his career and didn’t write any of the films he’s famous for directing. He’s famous for directing films other people wrote (though I’m sure he tweaked them).
DePalma, while being a hack for some time now, did write some decent shit. In a four-year span in the early 80’s, he wrote BLOW OUT (tremendously underrated), BODY DOUBLE (dated, but pretty damn entertaining), and DRESSED TO KILL (not my cup of tea, but pretty popular), directing SCARFACE in between.

renteria made a decent attempt to tag out a base stealer, video replay was inconclusive (in my eyes) if renteria actually tagged the stealer and cuzzi called the stealer out

LOL rotoworld
Jonathan Sanchez walked seven over five shutout innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday night.
We’re going to go out on a limb and say that Sanchez’s performance on Friday night was something of a rarity. The southpaw gave up just one hit - a single by Freddy Sanchez in the fourth inning – and struck out four. It was an odd night, but fantasy owners aren’t complaining. Sanchez has allowed just one run over his last three starts and now owns a 3.29 ERA on the year. He’ll get the Dodgers next week.

The average team plays better at home overall typically, so that’s not exactly fair. I am doing some research into this though.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
In the mid eighties, Bill James wrote an article, looking over like twenty or thirty years of games, and found that the home team wins like 55%, road team 45%. So, home team advantage should, if those numbers hold, be effect one game out of ten.
Home field advantage might sometimes be slightly stronger for parks with strange characteristics, because the team can build a roster that plays to the stadium (Giants playing Randy Winn in ATT’s right field, the Sox could hide Rice or Manny’s lack of D because the green monster has short dimensions, needing fast outfielders in the big old Astrodome, lefty power hitters in whatever park is known for a super short RF porch, etc.)
Since the humidor was installed, though, the Rox home field advantage has been 18.2% (.572 at home, .389 on the road). That’s almost twice normal – seems way abnormal. And it’s 27.7% (.686 vs .408) this year.
Damn cheaters.

"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
So watching the highlights
It looks like it’s fairly likely Huff would have been out at home if they’d thrown. Should they have gone for the DP?
I think it’s just instinct to go to 2nd, especially on a straight comebacker. If you even look to 3rd that could cost you from getting the guy at 2nd.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
not to mention the chance to just end the inning before any more wierd shit happens is worth trying for two. Rent hit a single right after Uribe beat out the DP, so a run would have scored either way (from 2nd if they had gone home on Huff for one out)

I feel like the players around and fans were much more into it then he was. I remember almost throwing one when I was younger and I found myself surprisingly not very nervous at all, as you just feel really good. However I lost it on a legit hit so who knows how I would have reacted in his situation.
But, I think when you’re a part of something like that everything feels so surreal that you kind of just accept whatever happens.

It was actually an almost no-hitter, but I was like 13 (so obviously it doesn’t compare), but it was a game that really mattered and it was the first time I had ever started a game so I was quite impressed with myself. I almost did it again a couple years later, but we got no-hit instead.

Bochy says he gave Wilson the take sign. Only question now: Does Bochy fine him once, or once for each of 3 swings?
Actually, that probably helped me finish my paper on time as well.

This is really bad, if Wilson did not realize the magnitude of the situation and thought he could just ignore the call and swing away.

What I think is more likely
Wilson has no idea what the fuck the take sign looks like because he hits like twice a year.
Possible
I would like to know if Bochy actually told him to take before he went out.
Because if that is true, as much as I love Wilson, something needs to be done to discipline him.

Heath Bell wishes he was a ninja
One of the better subplots in this series and the division race is the battle between closers Brian Wilson and Heath Bell for the National League saves crown, and perhaps the major-league title.
Bell is a Wilson fan. He called his Giants counterpart “a dominant closer” and said, “He has an amazing arm and an amazing fastball. He’s got a fastball I would love. I think he’s a great closer. You’ve got to be a little quirky, a little weird. I think he’s got all that.”
Bell is modest about his own fastball, which reaches the mid-90s and makes it tough for hitters to look for a big 12-to-6 curveball.
At 32, Bell is 4 1/2 years older than Wilson. They have topped the NL saves leaderboard for much of the season. The Padres’ recent 10-game losing streak has enabled Wilson to push ahead, 41-39. Wilson also co-leads the majors with Tampa Bay’s Rafael Soriano.
Wilson also has an edge in time spent doing crunches.
“I’ve never seen him in the shower or anything, but he’s ripped,” Bell said.
“He looks like he’s strong. I think closers might work on their abs. I work on one ab, and that’s the big one, my au naturel ab,” Bell said, pointing toward a belly that looks more Sunday beer league than Mr. Universe. Bell then grabbed a potato chip out of a bag and said, “Look. I’m working on my ab now.”
More seriously, Bell called Wilson “one of the best guys around. If I get labeled with him in the same sentence, it’s a huge honor because he’s definitely having one of the best years any closer is having. He’s good, and he’s got magic shoes.”
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper

You sound like how most men feel when talking about women. Role-reversals are amusing. Sometimes.
And I suppose that’s what happens, but I wouldn’t say they “work.” I did that when I didn’t know anything, but it wasn’t too effective. Probably boring for the two sides. I mean, what kind of a date is a movie? Let’s sit in a dark room not looking at each other and say nothing for two hours.

On that play with Huff at 3rd in the 7th, Miggy could have just gone for the DP. Guillen is slow as shit, so it would have been an easy turn, as opposed to trying to gun down Huff at 3rd.
Only huff was on second at the time, it would have been 2 outs with a runner on 3rd

There was no runner on first. Huff stole second on the busted hit-and-run-turned-strikeout. That’s why it was first and third with one out.
Double play unpossible.

Guillen grounded into the play that moved Huff to third. A double play would not be possible, save for a tag-force combo that would have been nigh-impossible. Next was Uribe, who grounded into the fielder’s choice that scored Huff. We can know this to be true because Schierholtz pinch-ran for Guillen and subsequently replaced him in right field and the 5th spot in the order.

Huff
“Awesome,” said Huff, who scored despite what he called a “dumb play” on his part. “That’s what we play all year for, the grind, all the stuff you go through all year long. It’s what you wait for, to be within striking distance at the end of the year. That’s where we are. We’ve got a lot of ball left, though. We haven’t won anything yet.”

They say it evens out over 162
HBP, SB, FC, FC. Sounds so much like 1 hitter the Giants lost earlier, to the same team. Almost like how Romo gives up the 2 run shot to Manny in April, to Uribe going yard vs Broxton in September.
Anyhow, I dont care. My good friend’s birthday tonight, and I was the fool yelling for the giants in the San Diego sports bar. Worth it!
I still have no idea why pitchers swing with 1 out and bases loaded. I know they want to, but damn, just hold the bat! I wanted to punch Wellemeyer earlier this year when he did it. I will not punch Wilson, he must have thought 1 was enough anyways, he can get 5 outs blindfolded.
It's better to be lucky than good.
I don’t think so. More likely to take you down… don’t want to risk the pitching hand punching some guy in the head.

WTF is this e-mail?
Did any of you guys get an e-mail like this? subject line was “puttputtputt (trolling motor)” from a john b (jbs1r@hotmail.com)
here’s the text (apology for long):
He trolls everywhere. Bashes MCC too.
Admittedly, this is dated.
I just slipped in to read whatever was being flung at me of late…and sure enough, there’s yours.
Can we talk about that?
Well, I can. Can you?
Have we met? Have we even conversed online?
How is it you can speak with such authority on where I go and what I say?
Am I of some interest to you?
Are you…are you stalking me?
I sit in on the GDTs of the fanbases of teams the Giants are playing. I enjoy the give – and – take.
Just because I can no longer do that on MCC doesn’t mean it isn’t fun elsewhere. They don’t have a monopoly on that.
Yet – according to your statement there – I’m “trolling everywhere.”
I don’t disparage the team whose blog I visit – that’s being an inconsiderate guest.
So, would you be so kind as to please define “trolling” as it applies to me?
If you’re able to, that is.
As for the “bashing”…even if it was true it’s not as if MCC is exactly singing my praises, so what’s YOUR beef?
It seems so many people, including folks I previously actually had pleasant communication with, are sycophanting like crazy.
You know, the verbal equivalent of harmonizing because it keeps you in good favor.
I’d never seen anything like it in my life.
Sure, I was bitter.
Time heals.
I am now carefully stating – because of COURSE I’m linked with them – that I have no association with MCC or represent them in any way/shape/form.
But hey, say whatever comes to mind.
Fantasize away, whatever gets you off.
Or, more accurately, whatever you think will get them off.
Do I care?
Why should I?
Like you matter.
Yeah, it looks like he’s responding to a comment you made about three weeks ago. Ignore it.

LOL Baggs Commenter
I would like to comment on last night’s game and why Brian Wilson was even in a position to be the 5th batter in the inning. I guess Bochy is not with the times because there is this trendy new baseball move called the "double switch". No one is questioning why Bochy forgot to do this, instead they are talking about Wilson ignoring a take sign. Bochy lucked out this time, thankfully, but the non-move should be examined.

Just played the best game ever in The Show.
Freddy and Posey both had 2 homers. Freddy tied it in the 11th with a homer after giving up the lead, then I was down by 3 going into the 12th, Freddy homered again with a runner on after Ross got an RBI single. Pat hit the walk off next inning after being like 0-5. This dude played like a bitch the whole game. They also need to fix the fielding, there’s been too many occasions where the fielder took too long to get rid of the ball and that cost me a few runs in this game.
LOL Bud Black
All the Padres know right now is this: They had held first place alone in the NL West since June 18, and they’re not giving it up without a fight.
“We’re going to come out of it with a vengeance at some point,” Black insisted. “I think we have too good of hitters to stay in this much longer.”
he does have some merit...
