Post-game thread: Cain, Posey, bullpen help Giants to another 1-0 win
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 21, 2010 8:55 PM PDT
Email
PrintOh, it starts out innocently enough. Some friends are passing out 1-0 games at a party, and you don't want to be the square. Then you start up with the 1-0 games when you're at home alone, just to take the edge off. Then you find yourself with a couple of 1-0 games in your car right before work. Before you know it, you're stumbling down an alley, breathing the fumes from David Eckstein bloop singles. That's 1-0 game rock bottom.
But, heck, it's fun when you win them. Some quick notes that I jotted down as I was watching this game:
- Matt Cain
- Buster Posey
- Matt Cain!
- Bruce Bochy?
- Buster Posey!
- Brian Wilson
Every managerial decision looks brilliant if the team wins, and I'll just assume that if Matt Cain went out for the seventh inning, he would have given up two broken-bat singles, a fielder's choice, and a fly ball to right field. Maybe the decision to pull Cain fora pinch-hitter had something to do with the on-again/off-again warm ups associated with a rain delay. It was weird, but the Giants won.
Remember when the knock on Buster Posey was that he wasn't expected to have power? Like, he was supposed to be Freddy Sanchez in convenient catcher form? Yeah. Huh. That's not really accurate. Posey has silly power to all fields. Bad analysts! Bad! He has a perfect swing, and that generates a ton of power. I've been wondering, though: Could Posey throw a ball to second so hard that even he could not hit it for a home run?
Great. A riddle. Now we'll all be up all night.
Beautiful start to the road trip, Giants. Keep it up.

Bochy Manger of the Year
keeping everyone fresh to the end. low pitch counts. Awesome pinch hitting. Great defensive replacements (see e.g. Velez) They don’t win this game without him.
Let's bring the...
The only objection I had to Bochy tonight
was Velez as a defensive substitute — that was just nutty.
I have this vision of Velez just being really freaking annoying in the dugout, so Bochy sends him to left field just to get rid of him for a few minutes.
Yes, really, I have not updated my blog in a long long time: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
No, seriously
I’m as ecstatic as anyone about the win. But…VELEZ AS A DEFENSIVE REPLACEMENT? REALLY?1?! Even with Torres out, and with our collection of zoologically interesting outfielders, there are several better ways of shoring up late-inning defense. I know Bochy won’t put Rowand anywhere but CF (which is annoying), but even dropping Rowand into center and sliding Ross over to left would be better than Velez. Hell, double-switching in the 7th and putting Ishikawa at 1st and Huff in left would be better.
Velez had one routine flyball tonight and I almost had a heart attack. Bochy: you wanna use him as a pinch runner? Fine. You want to give him an at-bat once in awhile? OK, I’ll pick my battles. DO NOT FOR ONE SECOND THINK THAT EUGENIO VELEZ IS A REPLACEMENT-LEVEL DEFENDER AT ANY POSITION.
Great win tonight.

Could Posey throw a ball to second so hard that even he could not hit it for a home run?
The correct answer is that there is no such thing as a ball thrown so hard Buster Posey could not hit it for a home run. It is like asking him to draw a circle with sqaure edges. It is impossible.

I was probably one of the McCoven most vocally against the Ramon Ramirez and Javier Lopez deals, but the two of them have been rock solid since July 31.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
The Lopez deal, yeah, but I don’t see the problem with Ramirez. He’s got a little upside, he’s controllable, and Dan Turpen seemed like a nonprospect to me.
Ask me about my blog.
Well, the cost wasn’t bad for Ramirez, but I just didn’t think Ramirez was very good.
(Whoa there, he apparently has a 10:11 K/BB ratio as a Giant!)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Casilla was walking people left and right all year (and striking them out), then maybe august (?) he pretty much stopped walking people and just striking them out. You think this is just his BB ratio leveling out? high early, low now, hitting the norm?

Thanks! not putting too much into this, since there’s not much out there for a geography major… just looking to get some experience… not exactly sure how to approach em tho
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
so you're interviewing people?
why’d you have to prepare a resume?
got it...
the “interviewee” part confused me….
but good shit, man. you got it. Wear an orange buster posey shirt and I’m sure you’ll get any job.
my experience with career fairs has always been that the people interviewing are more like normal workers than the people who will actually make the final decision. that said, they seem to remember personable people more than people with long resumes.
just have a good time…it usually works out best that way…i think you got the right approach with the “not putting much into it” approach…bc you did the resume tonight, you’ll remember most of that shit tomorrow no problem
THanks dude, i’ll probably wear a lucky buster posey shirt UNDER my dress shirt, haha. But that is definitely me, someone who is personable and can be remembered by someone without a resume

Positivity about the offense
1-0 game, sure. But one of the big things the Giants have been struggling with is taking pitches. They worked the count against Zambrano, and even though they couldn’t keep doing it with RISP, they chased him and got to the bullpen, who were promptly Buster Poseyed.
Baby steps.

Why not?
Especially when your offense isn’t scoring and your remaining outs are dwindling.
It is definitely a more difficult decision in a tie game rather than a losing one like they were in the Lincecum game. What this tells me is that Bochy trusts his bullpen a lot right now.
’cause you have a great bullpen and only so many outs left with which to score

Per Baggs
Brian Wilson thinks Posey deserves to be ROY
Braves right fielder Jason Heyward might have an advantage with some voters because Posey didn’t debut until May 29. But Posey’s candidacy is gaining ground.
“I can easily make the argument,” said Wilson, after nailing down his 44th save. "Catchers have more responsibility than anybody on the field. We’re asking a 23-year-old rookie to take that leadership role — and it truly is a leadership role. On the teams I’ve been on, most guys who speak out are catchers.
“It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t been here the whole season. The fact he can go out there, keep the game tempo, hit the way he has, know everybody on the staff "… To me it’s a no-brainer.
“Really, you’re not doing much in the outfield or the infield. The game is from the mound to home plate. That’s where the game is.”
I mean, yes. Obviously. But I’m impressed with Wilson’s argument on this nonetheless. He’s usually not so coherent in the quotes we get to read.

garcia got shut down, so he’s out. Sanchez just debuted in the wrong year. too much competition.
btw, why did Garcia get shut down? injury, or innings limit?

I was watching the Cards/Pads this weekend….
They were saying the Cards told the media they were shutting down Garcia w/out telling Garcia first….Garcia told LaRussa that he wanted to talk and he wanted to talk now…Garcia went off on him (He told LaRussa “He wasn’t having it”, emulating Posey to try and get ROY votes) and they put Garcia back in the rotation….LaRussa then went home and passed out drunk at the handlebars of his Big Wheels in his driveway…Garcia’s wrath had nothing on LaRussa’s wife…

Dude, the “starting in May” thing should just make it even stronger for Posey who has 15 HR and 62 RBI in 97 games vs. Heyward’s 18 HR and 71 RBI in 131 games. Considering that Heyward was supposed to have so much more power than Posey.
Not to mention, as far as impact goes, Posey’s effect has been substantial.

Looks like GINATS BRAS is as down on Rowand as we are
From Baggs:
Eugenio Velez, defensive replacement?
I was surprised also. We asked Bochy if there was anything wrong with Aaron Rowand. Usually he moves Cody Ross to left field and puts Rowand in center.
Bochy said no, he wanted to save Rowand in case he needed a right-handed pinch hitter.
I think Bochy was just being kind. It’s pretty clear that Rowand is out of the picture now. I’m just wondering what the conversations will be like if the Giants have to set a postseason roster. They’ll face some difficult choices. Leaving off Rowand wouldn’t be one of them.

Rowand is a pile of shit this year, yet somehow has 10-11 HRs. He’s playing with a broken jaw which still hasn’t healed b/c he is still active in baseball activities. Best chance? Heal up and come back next year, if the organization doesn’t cut/trade/DFA him.

i don’t have any sympathy for a guy making 12 million who cant hit for shit, falls on his ass in a huge game (the prediction game) giving up a triple- on a ball he probably should have caught, and overall, has been covered in suck since the start of May.
But I respect that he hasn’t made an issue out of it. He’s quietly accepted that he’s not an everyday player anymore, and that’s good by me in my book.

its not about the money, i shouldnt have said that- but it doesnt help that cause.
To me, he played a nice career and got a WS ring- things that we dream of as kids, why we play the game, in (childish) hopes for most of us, that we will someday be a major leaguer. So to see his career on the decline, and know that he had it great for a long time and still does, I just really can’t have any sympathy for that. The odds of having a career like his (albeit not a Jim Thome career, for example) but a nice long career where you are respected as a teammate, are so, so low, that I really can’t find sympathy for a guy who’s had the time of his life playing the game he loves everyday

It’s still sad to know that the one thing you’ve been good at your whole life, you’re no longer good at. What does he have left?
Now granted, he’s still a better baseball player than 99.9999 percent of the population. But still.
