Post-game thread: Giants explode for a million runs, just like we all expected

PrintDo you want to know something more amazing than the Giants scoring 13 runs? Via Baseball Reference, before tonight's game:
SFGiants have gone 20 games w/o allowing more than 4 R. No team has done that in 21 straight since '81 A's.
So now the Giants have allowed fewer than four runs in 21 straight games. It's been an amazing stretch, especially after remembering the discouraging August the entire non-Cain staff had. This is a team with five starters worth looking forward to. Well, Zito stretches that a little, but it's the most impressive rotation I've ever watched as a Giants fan.
Wait, I read that again. That's not more amazing than the Giants scoring 13 runs in a game. Not really. Juan Uribe with two homers in the same inning, Madison Bumgarner with two hits in the same inning, and Jose Guillen with two HBP in the same inning. You know that old saying, "You always see something new in baseball every game?" Bunch of nonsense. I've seen last night's game fifteen times in the past three seasons. The exact same freaking game. Tonight made up for it.
I would have been happy with a series win before the series started, and that's what we got. The Giants just have a funny way of torturing you before they get there, though. It's almost endearing. Almost.
Great win. Now go Dod...go, Dodg...let's go Diamondbacks and whatever team is playing the Padres.

remember the cycle
for a three game series involving the giants, all of the following must occur:
- a 1-0 shutout by the giants pitching staff
- an embarrassing offensive display by the giants ruining stellar pitching performance resulting in a heart breaking loss
- the last game in the series where the giants hitters belt 20 home runs accompanying a magnificent pitching performance
- untouchable bullpen

- Hitters:
Final game of each series

He’s clearly cooked, he’s way, way way over his previous innings max, and the Padres are so desperate that they have to keep trotting him out there.

I believe it’s Mark Grace. It could be a lot worse, I hear things like the auctioneer doing radio for the Rockies, or Hawk Harrelson, or the Marlins guys, and I think the D-Backs announcers are actually pretty entertaining. But it could be SSS.
Mark Grace shows a lot of love to Giants players. Maybe a bit too much. Still, I happen to like him a lot more than some of the homers out there.

I went to Windy City in San Mateo on Sunday. It’s a sports bar dedicated to the Bears. Boyfriend VCE’s mom is a huge Bears fan so we all (BFVCE, BFVCE’s mom and future stepdad, and me) met up there to watch the Cowboys/Bears game and have pizza and beer. It was a pretty chill place to watch a game, as long as you’re for the Bears. I wore a borrowed Payton jersey and fit in because I jeered the Cowboys.

Hah.
You say that as if Crawford will be less expensive than Werth.
Let me copy and paste the stats I posted in the other thread before the game:
From 2008-2010 (enough time to get a good UZR sample)
Crawford has been worth 14.6 WAR
Werth? He’s been worth 14.5 WAR
Slash lines, 2008-2010:
Crawford: .297/.350/.451
Werth: .278/.375/.510
I’d rather have Werth than Crawford any day.
Ultimately I would rather the Giants not sign anybody, but if they had to, I don’t see how there is a clear choice between the two.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
then what is your solution to the big 5 hole hitter we need?
burrell is too streaky and won’t cut it over a whole season, not for a team with the Giants aspirations anyhow
by giant4life83 on Sep 23, 2010 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions
There is no objective “need” for a “big 5 hole hitter”.
All that matters is improvements.
The reality here is that it is a choice between Werth/Crawford and Lincecum/Cain and I take the pitchers, and younger players, any day.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
When you take into account the kind of contracts they're expected to get
With the consensus on Crawford being 100 mil + and Werth being 60-80 million, there’s no doubt in my mind that Werth would be a better sign.
And a good sign, too. I’d love to have Werth.
If Werth is truly equal in value, then he would likely get an equal contract.
If Crawford is going to get a much better contract, then there are reasons why he is a better bet.
It’s not necessarily factual to claim that Werth is equally in value to Crawford and that Crawford will get a much more valuable contract this offseason.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
Werth will get dinged
Because he’s really only played full time for three years now. He’ll probably lose some value because he’s been shit on in the Philly media as someone who’s lazy and doesn’t care about the game too.
He’s a couple years older, so he’ll get less for that too.
The first paragraph seems to me to be superficial for agents and GMs.
The second paragraph will affect his contract, but it’s a reflection of is value.
Perhaps getting “shit on” by the Philadelphia media is enough to make one a bargain in the present day, but I don’t think markets are that inefficient in baseball anymore.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
I sometimes think that GMs and Agents are smarter than we give them credit for
But the you see things like major league GMs quoted by Jayson Stark saying that CC Sabathia has pitched better than Felix Hernandez.
A lot of them really are not smart.
I know, but it only takes 1 out of the 30 to ruin a bargain deal.

No, not true. Every single pice I have heard/read hasn’t hit on his work ethic, in fact many say he is pressing at the plate. They ding him because of his lost of HR power.

I really wish I could figure out some way to figure out on B-R
To find average backup catcher production.
It’s not likely to be a huge difference between a normally bad backup catcher and a worse than normally bad backup catcher. Because let’s face it: if you can hit and you can catch, you aren’t going to be a backup.
How many ABs is a backup catcher really going to have anyway? It’s not the most pressing area in which one needs to address offensive production.

Not really.
If he’s a Type B, he’s more valuable to the Giants leaving than starting at SS.
But likely more valuable to the Giants as a utility backup than leaving.

more valuable leaving in the future, but right now is when we should be making that WS winning push. If we were rebuilding, id say take the early pick and let him go, but at this point, for 22 and counting HRs, a .250 avg, he’s worth keeping.
by giant4life83 on Sep 23, 2010 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions
He’s a below-average SS.
One looks for upgrades in a World Series winning push, and this is exactly where one should start- at the weakest positions on the diamond.
Now, as a backup, sure, he’s fine and dandy, even excellent. But we need a starting SS.

i think he makes up for his shortcomings at SS with his bat, IMO.
if theres a better option out there to be had, like Drew, im all for it, but if not, i dont mind Uribe coming back. hell, he should come back anyhow, and be super-utility, play 3-4 days a week

Padres-Reds Probables
FRI: Arroyo (16-10, 3.98) vs. Young (1-0, 0.98)
SAT: Wood (5-4, 3.43) vs. Garland (14-12, 3.55)
SUN: Bailey (3-3, 4.73) vs. Richard (13-8, 3.53)
Notes:
- Chris Young making third start of year (went 4 innings at St. Louis last weekend)
- Arroyo gave up 8 ER in 3 IP in his only start vs. SD this year
- Bailey gave up 4 ER in 6 IP in his only start vs. SD this year
- Richard is only of the 3 starters who has faced CIN this year (5.1 IP, 3 ER)
- Earliest Reds can clinch division is Saturday, making it likely all 3 games will be meaningful to them
- Friday night is Star Wars night, Beer Fest, and College Night at PETCO Park
Enjoy.

Wow anyone read this trash from the main page at GSB?
I’m going to visit a friend in the Bay Area. He probably thinks it’s a coincidence that I’m coming to visit while the Padres are in town, but it’s no coincidence. He’s attending a wedding on Saturday night so I thought I might as well catch the game even if I have to go by myself.
In my cold and lonely state I’ll probably end up roaming anyway to gain sympathy and fend off attacks from Giants fans. It made sense to me to just get the cheapest ticket available, which happened to be Standing Room Only There were also safety considerations. I figured as long as I keep moving there is less chance that perverted Giant fans will be able to assault me. It’s much harder to molest a moving target, or so I’m told. I already consider myself damaged goods after the ticket office had their way with me, I won’t let it happen again.
Sometimes we forget just how good we’ve got it here in San Diego. No wonder so many opposing fans litter our ballpark, it’s cheaper to travel down here to attend than to go at their home ballparks. People complain that Padres games aren’t affordable, but as long as you aren’t stuck up and have to sit close to the field you can get an assortment of very decent seats for less than $25. If you plan ahead you can get into the ballpark for $5. I’ll tell you what that is… a deal.
Yeah, cause you guys are sold out all the time right? The stadium is just normally packed with fans loyal to the Pad….sorry could not even finish that sentence.
Your stadium is filled with about 2 thousand fans of opposing teams (still making up 20%) of the attendance, but they just care enough about the game to sound like they are 70% of the audience.

Anyone else suspicious about his sudden home run surge?
Proud father of 2-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
As the fagraphs article says,
Even though the Rogers Centre has probably helped Bautista – it has a 114 park factor for right handed home runs, according to StatCorner, there’s little doubt that Bautista has hit the tar out of the ball this season. His average home run distance of 403.5 feet and average speed off the bat of 106.8 miles per hour are both well above the MLB averages of 396.7 and 103.3 respectively. Yes, Bautista has hit 11 “Just Enough” home runs – those that cleared the fence by 10 vertical feet or fewer or landed only one fence length beyond the fence – but that’s simply a function of the pure volume of home runs he has hit this season. His 18 “No Doubt” homers – those that cleared the fence by 20 vertical feet and landed 50 feet past the fence – are by far the most in the league, with Adam Dunn coming in second with 14.
(snip)
Although his 20.9% HR/FB rate is a bit of an anomaly compared to his career numbers, it’s not that out there for someone with solid power in a hitter’s park. Nobody should be projecting Bautista for 50 home runs again next season, but there are certainly reasons to believe that he should continue to be a threat at the plate for the Blue Jays. Congratulations to Bautista on his majestic achievement.

Dback's playing spoiler
This team has been dangerous with Gibson as manager. We seemed to match up well with them, but we can’t think our last 9 will have 3 easy games vs AZ. I know they are like the Rockies, play like superman at home and Clark Kent away… But I know Milwaukee and the Cubs series seemed to be a nice soft 6 game stretch late.
I think with a healthy Webb, AZ could be next years Padres, dangerous team from nowhere.

We won't have to worry about the rockies doing anything dirty guys
MLB doesn’t monitor the process in person, and Kahn said the umpires’ attendant is a Rockies employee. So what’s to prevent the Rockies from slipping in a non-humidor ball when the team needs a big rally?
“The integrity of the manager [Jim Tracy] and coaching staff would prevent that,” said Kahn.

I think it’s a combination of a) a youngish lineup that can take the altitude, b) a lineup whose hitting weaknesses are mitigated by altitude’s effect on pitches and c) batting in the bottom of each inning when the balls are all a half-inning warmer and drier.
KInda like the way the Yankees would have that douchey Irish tenor (and, as it turned out, anti-Semite) Ronan Tynan drag out the longest versions of GBA evar and make the visiting pitcher stand there and cool down in the late-October chill.

I went out for a run
Casually listening to the Rockies – Dbacks game. it was 9-6.
Then Chris Young made it 10-6. I was like Yay. Then I ran for a bit. Then it was like wait wtf bases loaded for Cargo? Then 10-8.
At that point I stopped running, ripped my headphones out, looked up in the sky and said : “If you make the Rockies lose, I will run another lap around this park.”
The Diamondbacks won. I ran another lap. I am exhausted right now, but it was well worth it.

And it’s not that he is fast…it’s that he is FASTFAST. He might be the fastest player we’ve ever had. He’s definitely the fastest I’ve seen. The thing that excites me is our draft pick this year is supposed to be obscenely fast. That sounds fun.

If they were playing the Yankees, that would have been all fine and good and awesome, but we’re talking about the poor Cleveland Indians here.

you know whats a fun game? take a sleeping pill, then try to jack off before you fall asleep. The best part is, you win either way.

Just watched the new 30 Rock episode… LOL
Jenna: “I’m good at this, but I’m not necessary. Whoa, the last time I said that, I was in a 3-way with 2 of the Backstreet Boys.”
That show is the funniest shit out there, by far. And the only TV show I watch (other than ‘24’ and Nip/Tuck, which don’t air anymore)
Rockies, we draw:
Chacin (RHP, Coors ERA 4.30 vs Timmy
Hammel (dead arm is the rumor) vs Zito
De La Rosa (LHP, Coors ERA 4.20) vs Cain
Let’s crush some rocks.
Lopez, Kennedy, Enright is our matchup with the DBacks, or so it appears. (provided there are no changes to their rotation) This will be a tough series as well.
SD is not set but expect to see Latos, who is getting smoked up lately (possibly hit a wall), other 2 starters TBD.
Go Giants, g’nite folks.
What a nice set of results to wake up to.
It’s Friday, the Giants are in first place, and I’m going to the game Sunday, hopefully to catch the boys shoveling the last bits of dirt over the Rockies.
hey gays!
what’d i miss?

Saw an article last night that said when the Pads’ had the 6.5 game lead they had a 97.2% chance to make the playoffs…If they don’t make it, it will be one of the biggest collapses of all time…
That makes me feel good…

Whoa
They have allowed 33 runs in 20 games. The Angels, who have the second fewest runs allowed this month, have given up 59.

He was cut by the Cards for tardiness, so he’ll make a poor fit for the always-in-motion Padres. He’ll be that much easier to catch when he gets to San Francisco!

Agreed
Though that was annoying when Braden threw his perfect game and I couldn’t go play there.

Clearly he got informed by flem of us chatting about his twitter.
