Post-game thread: Giants gain a game with win over Diamondbacks

PrintThe first couple of innings were hard to watch. We’ve seen that Jonathan Sanchez before. Can’t get the fastball over, can’t get the breaking ball over, throwing a million pitches, looking like he wants to crawl under the mound. He was lucky to escape the second inning down by only two. Meanwhile, the Giants hitters couldn’t solve the mystery that was Rodrigo Lopez. It was a familiar start to a game. Felt like 2008. In case you’d forgotten:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SFG/2008.shtml
Yeah. These aren’t the 2008 Giants. Shocking, I know. We've come so far, dang it.
Jonathan Sanchez used to announce his intentions early. When he was Jekyll Sanchez, he was locating early in the first. When he was Hyde Sanchez, he was at 41 pitches before the end of the National Anthem. There wasn’t a whole lot of ambiguity in a Sanchez start. Version 2.1 now has the ability to settle into a start. He could have gone seven if it weren’t for a Pablo Sandoval double.
Gee, if Buster Posey had experience calling pitches, maybe the Giants team ERA would be -0.13 instead of 0.01 in September.
No, no. No stray snark tonight. Tonight’s a love fest. I love that Pablo Sandoval drove the ball well. I love that Andres Torres is back. I love that Brian Wilson isn’t some graham cracker-armed goof, and I love that Bruce Bochy doesn’t hesitate to bring his best reliever out in the eighth. I love that two-out, run scoring hits don’t give the Giants hives these days, and I love that the crowd was raucous.
Well, no. Certainly not. But we could all just start with a backrub, right?
Two games up. Magic number of four. ‘Twas a fine day.

So, just imagine Brian Wilson in the place of Sharkie and David Eckstein in the place of Theo Fleury.

Went to a game the year or two before that at Camden – Giants vs. Orioles. It was the second game of a Saturday double-header, which was on because the Friday night game was rained out.
Went on the spur of the moment with friends, and while we were waiting in line, a guy walked up and sold us seats about 15 rows behind the Giants dugout for about a third of the price printed on the tickets. Apparently the rainout had messed up his plans, and he just wanted to get rid of them for whatever he could get. They were easily the best seats I’ve ever been able to afford since my dad took me to Candlestick when I was a kid.
We then watched Barry get walked every time up. He had hit a HR in the first game, and I suppose the Orioles were tired of pitching to him. It was still so, so worth it.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
When did he play in colorado? is what I am wondering

(They weren’t afraid to harass a small woman, but my 6’3" husband got none of it.) Around the stadium, I would understand, but around town? Also, the douche pre- and post-game announcers were extreme homers, saying that we had no right to complain about the humidor when we had Barry Bonds on our team. Huh?

Lubbock, Texas
is a great town if you’re between the ages of 18-25. The weather’s actually not terrible, but the the amount of raging you can do up here is legendary. Plus, I love the state of Texas. You can make fun all you want, it really is a badass place to live.
It's great to knock things you haven't tried.
30,000 students go here and are having the time of their fucking lives. Tech is in the Forbes top 20 schools to hire from (2010 rankings) and is one of the best party schools around. Greek life is off the charts and Lubbock is one of the fastest growing economies in Texas. But what am I doing wasting my time here. Whatever, fuck it, go Giants.
Honey, I'm FROM Texas.
I have lived here most of my life. I’ve been to every part of this state.
Don’t presume you know my experiences.
My cousin went to Tech, BTW.
Then, I’m sorry. And I know what other places in Texas think of us, too. A degree at Tech comes with a large chip on your shoulder. And guns up to your cousin.
The last two days here in SF were 90s, which puts our downstairs living room at roughly 70. And I have a hard time with that, which tells you how far I would go living someplace like Houston or Marfa or Lubbock or Austin. Not far.
Why would a town full of Texas Tech people give you shit for a Crabtree jersey?

My father showed up six hours late from work with a high-school friend who had taken BART to the city in tow, as they had somehow run into one another downtown. Then we drove to Grizzly Peak and watched the Marina burn, and marvelled at how strange the view was with no lights on at night in the city. Not one. Very strange.
Here’s hoping things go better this year.
if we have another 7.6 earhquake on game 1 on the WS in SF, I’d just say we’re the unluckiest team in the world. Until we win the series 6 games later.

The first game in SF was game three, right?
Luckily, the NL is the home team this year, so the analogy can’t be perfect.
BTW, I was spacing out at work earlier and realized that if S is 19 and F is 6, then that would make S.F. 1906.

What would have been refreshing
And it may well have been discussed there, but I didn’t see it in the few discussions I checked out at the site – is for the PR crew to admit that having the humidor supervised strictly by Rockies’ employees was absolutely questionable. No matter how ethical Jim Tracy and crew might be, this is professional sports – everything (especially the equipment used on the field) should be handled with the interests of a fair game in mind.
The outrage over questions of impropriety was just as outrageous, IMO. You don’t just “assume” everyone will act aboveboard and honest when millions of dollars (I’d assume these franchises make a decent bit of money getting to the playoffs) are at stake.

this quote from Tracy that I just came across. Here’s what he said regarding suspicions that the Phillies were stealing the Rockies’ signs (emphasis mine):
And cheating, until you get caught, nobody says that you don’t explore something like that. But if you’re cheating and you get caught, you know what? Then you’d better do something about it. That’s my reaction to that.

The results are the same no matter how you look at it otis29
The actual hitting stats are there. They hit about the same amount of runs in the 6th 7th and 8th innings as they do in the other 6 innings. I think they actually hit less in those areas. there are many articles on the matter which prove through actual statistics that the rockies were not playing any different and also not using rigged balls.
The argument you state could be used with any ballpark and any place that has baseballs that the park its self handles. Personally I wouldn’t mind as much if this so called cheating check was in place for every ballpark and team and not just the rockies.

Despite what George Will said about me . . .
. . . it is very, very difficult to like the man.
Sabean delenda est!
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
It's weird
Much as I love George Will the columnist (him coming out against the war in Afghanistan was a great moment), I really don’t like Will the baseball guy.
Though I do recall he has an enmity for the DH.
Used to. He reversed that, on pretty much no basis whatsoever. He just heard about a pitcher that had a bad swing, and he switched. Just like that.
According to an article from about 15 or 20 years ago. Dunno what he thinks now.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Oddly, Bill Simmons seems to have made the opposite jump
with equally little explanation.
For the longest time he’s actually bragged about not following the NL (good one, ESPN!) Then a couple months ago, he wrote his annual baseball column (Why Are The Red Sox Boring?), which included this gem in his entry into the ponderous How To Fix The Game subgenre:
1. We need to dump the DH. Like, right now. It’s stupid, anyway.
He adds nothing (not even a single Karate Kid reference!) to elaborate, but I think his point was

His argument is that National League games tend to be shorter because you have one less quality hitter working the count, and games need to be shorter.

One of the Sabean regime’s great ideas was drafting high-upside but flawed guys late and paying them what they were worth. They only did that for a little while, but that’s how we got Ishi (for all his flaws, he had great potential) and Wilson (who was a first-round talent until his elbow fell off).
I love Wilson.
But I’d really like for Rod Beck to hold on to that record as long as possible.

Realistically, I think it’s going to be the same lineup as today. I think you try to give Sanchez some time, and Fontenot makes it easier since he’s been doing well and since it’s another RHP.
I agree, but if Freddy is actually healthy, then for the first time all season (imo) we have an opportunity to start our best 8 position players. This lineup would work in the playoffs really well, I think. Two lefties, two switch hitters….I’m actually kinda proud of myself for drawing this one up.

Back in the late 90s, I used to talk to Matt Stairs while he sat in the dugout at that abomination in Oakland; he’s one of the coolest dudes ever, and I’ll always feel bad when i root against him. Tejada was pretty cool, too; it sucks they’re both on that annoying team that has no fans.
Eliminate that pesky Dominatrix in one easy step. Step 1: Tell her you're a Cubs fan!
today/tonite was my breaking pt!
p.s. drunk post is drunk ;o) but I missed you guys, so on I type!
don’t get me wrong, love my G-men, and I heart you guys here-hell, I joined cuz you’re all what gets me through the away/untelevised games (of which there are many for a SF fan in Anacrime)! but after yesterday’s CHC/SD game and all the worry about today’s games, IT ALL BECAME TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TAKE!!! watching games when they’re available to me (a rarity for my broke ass with few channels on the Dtv) is like Xmas, New Years and my b-day all in one, but it never goes well, they always find ways to screw it up and then I’m left with the guilt-so I decided our collective fate was more important than my ability to watch my beloved Giants on my tv box.
Call me a coward, but I think going to Irvine to see Patton Oswalt was the best decision for all involved- HUGS AND HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND!!! ….now I just have to find something to do tomorrow to escape the torture..and I’m hoping there will be another chewy nougat center tomorrow just like there was at that beautiful chocolate confection we know as AT&T park tonite!! :o) no raw coconut in the chocolate, that’s just gross!

On the one hand clinching tomorrow would probably prevent a lot of ulcers.
On the other hand, it would be especially satisfying to clinch in a head to head matchup. The best case scenario is going into the weekend 2 games up, win on Friday, let some of the regulars rest on Sat/Sun.

Things about tonight’s game:
You could hear the agony in the crowd when Sanchez walked Drew on four pitches in the first. They knew what they were in for.
When the game turned around, it was an awesome crowd, even if the ratio of twentysomething “there to be seen” bandwagoners seemed higher than usual.
We were watching the scoreboard all night. When the “F” went up right before Wilson finished the 9th, people were going crazy. It’s a playoff atmosphere, kids.
Good for Pablo, Nate, and Sanchez for working through their struggles, either in the long term or short term, to deliver tonight. Good for Juan for being Juan. Good for Mike Fontenot being a valuable piece down the stretch.
And good for Brian Wilson for being a manly man on a ship of men.

You know he’s looking for the left field fence on every pitch, and a man’s gotta stick to his convictions. It doesn’t always pay off, but he’s done plenty for the team this year. I think that two-run bomb in Los Angeles was the biggest home run this year not hit by Pat Burrell.

"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Latos screwed up an easy bunt, where he had all day to field and throw but chose to try and grab it barehanded. he said in the postgame that he was disappointed that he didn’t use the glove, but watching live, he definitely screamed some sort of cuss word when Stairs Magellan-ed a liner to left into a double. Stairs later made a 42-year old attempt at catching a ball that basically grazed the top of the wall and went over.
Needless to say, young Mat was not happy with old Matt.
Yahoo Sports has a story on Latos and how his own teammates hated him last year. It took Heath Bell to scream at him during a game in Cincy to change him.

This pic could inspire another round of slash lit, Padres style.
Eliminate that pesky Dominatrix in one easy step. Step 1: Tell her you're a Cubs fan!
Latos had never felt so low in his life. Just six weeks ago, NL West was the Padres’ to lose. Now, on a damp, warm night in September, the playoffs seemed as far out of reach as Eckstein’s shoes when the rest of the team played keep-away with the diminuitiuve infielder.
He sat in the bench, shoulder slumped, a defeated man. There was nothing left to play for, no prize to be won.
‘Hey,’ Hundley said, almost a whisper. He put his hand under Latos’ chin and lifted the pitcher’s head to meet his gaze. “We did good this year. You did good this year.”
Latos shook his head. “Not good enough. We blew it.”
Hundley shrugged. “And what are you gonna do about it? You did the best you could.”
Latos sighed. “I wish I could believe you. I got nothin’ left.”
Hundley gently cupped Latos’ face in his hands. His hazel eyes locked onto Latos’. “You’ve got me.”
Latos offered a weak smile. He leaned in toward his teammate, lips pursed, eyes shut.
They were interrupted by a cough from about two feet below eye level. The two men looked down.
‘Seriously, guys,’ Eckstein said, arms folded over his chest. ’Can someone get my fucking shoes off the top shelf?"
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.

echoing sentiments way earlier, the Cubs should be congratulated for playing these games seriously. One player in particular who has been busting his ass out of the box is Marlon Byrd. He could have been thrown out twice in this series had he jogged to first like some guys (Adrian) do. He’s been playing his ass off and working the counts, etc.
I’ve mentioned this in the last week or so, but Marlon Byrd is a good baseball player. I would have liked it if we could have lured him to SF in the offseason. Between him and Torres in the outfield? Fugghedaboudit.

Oh you,
You know Bochy would never play the both of them. Byrd would have gotten the start when Rowand went down and we would have never fallen in love with Andres.

What an amazing game – the Ballad of Nate Schierholz continues. His hit was amazing, even if I was totally calling for Ishikawa right there. The fact that Nate and Travis have turned into these cold-blooded killer pinch hitters is astounding. I love it. GO GIANTS.
Wait. When did Freddy Sanchez get up to .296/.345/.403? I know he’s been on fire, but cripes. He was at Zito depths just a month ago, it seemed.
He's posted his highest-ever BB% in a full season this year
He really turned it around, and UZR likes his defense, too: 2.5 fWAR on the season.
That said, I still prefer Fontenot vs RHP.
I don’t think we’ll be talking about Tim Alderson anymore for awhile.

Kind of exciting that
in just 106 IP this year, Madison has essentially matched (1.8 fWAR) what Porcello put up last year in 170.2 IP (1.9 fWAR). bWAR too – 2.1 for Madison this year and 2.5 for Porcello last year.
Not trying to compare them or anything (and obviously your real white whale, Heyward, has blown them both away), but I just like Madison Bumgarner is all.

In the same thread where you got banned, pretty much all the mods there were like, “yo, Mondo, stop acting like such an asshole. You’ve been given a really long leash, but you’re making the rest of us look bad.” It goes on for quite a while.
As for their internal moderation, they like to keep those private. They explained as much after Mondo accused them of rolling over for all those bad trolls that keep upsetting him.

Man that's hilarious
All that frustration built up after timmy and cain train made him look silly over the weekend.

Rockies ticket – waste of money
A watered-down beer – Dinger will steal it from you

Watching Tulo break his bat after striking out to eliminate the Rockies – priceless
The are some things in life money can’t buy, but for everyone else, being a Rockies fan sucks ass.

(Don't get sentimental, it always ends up...)
Excellent crowd tonight. Everyone realized exactly how rough Sanchez looked in the early innings, but every time he’d manage to get a strike in or escape with a deep fly out, the cheers were so loud and so genuine. Everyone desperately wanted to do whatever little part they could to pick the team up and see them win. Huge cheers for small successes, people looking for any excuse to stand in excitement. And when things started to turn around for the team, everything intensified.
Then in the 9th, as everyone’s eyes darted back and forth between Wilson and the Padres scoreboard, there was such an amazing feeling of communal hope and positivity. It was pretty striking to me. Dare I say, it was magic inside.

Hi everyone!
I read through pretty much everything to get caught up…
Does anyone else feel like exploding with excitement right now??!! OMG!
I don’t even know what to think. It’s like restrained-incredulous-insanity-freak out! IS THIS REAL LIFE? And then, NATE! and THE BEARD OF ZEUS! So, I’m thinking that the odds are really in our favor but I can’t fully celebrate just yet…because, well, it’s Giants baseball, afterall.
Sorry about this crazy post but I had a strong coffee and listened to Kruk this morning and I’m pretty happy right now :)

What’s weird is that even though I’m happy I feel like if they clinch I’ll probably just break down in tears (happy tears!)….I’ve always believed they could do it this year with this team.
I’m a big believer in this teams chemistry. I think they have all the right personalities—there are several teammates who have comfortably eased into leaders which is so important and they have the right kind of scrappy, never-say-die attitude that is essential in post-season.
This teams’ success is so much more rewarding than Yankees/Red Sox type teams that were purchased.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

i don't know what's the matter with me.
I’m cool as a cucumber. Probably the only fan on here that feels as such. Totally confident that the Giants have this thing. It all looks so perfect.

Come on, A_L! It’s not over yet! Nothing’s perfect.
Pretty much how I feel.
After being at Coors for Cain’s gem on Sunday, I am just a not nervous anymore. Cain cut out the Rockies heart and ate it in front of their fans, the Cubs look poised to do to the Pads what they did to the Giants last year, the D-back have used up their little satchel of magic. Unless the Giants inexplicably decide to trip over the paint in the road that says “finish line ahead”, this is their year.
Uh, yeah?

Cremate and half his ashes placed into San Francisco bay (I like to think McCovey Cove). The other half of his ashes were placed into the Ganges River in Rishikesh, India (near a really cool waterfront Cricket Stadium I like to think).

Considering that we’re talking about the San Francisco Giants here, I’d say it would be totally explicable.

I dunno
I don’t think there’s any question that the Giants are the better baseball team. But since the best team doesn’t always win, I’m going to be worried.

This only just occured to me.
Giants can sweep the Padres right out of the playoffs. No Wild Card. No division. No nothing. Out with the trash. Vanquished. To play no more. That would be positively scrumptious. Slaying both the Rockies and Padres in a matter of weeks. Man, that alone makes this a season worth remembering.
Course, gotta do the doin’ first…. But as said above, I am supremely confident.

Obviously, I can’t actively root for the Padres for the rest of the regular season, but I actually hope they’re able to knock off the Braves. I’m still sore from 1993, and I think an SF/SD NLCS would be delicious.

It would have worse ratings than the White Sox sweep of the Astros in the 2005 WS, which was up against Not Watching A Sweep Featuring The White Sox And Astros, a ratings beast if ever there was one.

Hiya folks!
Dodger fan here (please don’t throw garbage at me!), but following the G-men in the last month or so I think Grant made a great point about Bochy using Wilson in the 8th inning. If we knew anything about Bochy in the past it was that he’d have his tendencies and stubbornness, but I gotta give him credit for adapting here. The Giants look like they’re on their way… getting Torres back has done a lot for them. Not to mention, I think we all agreed that if Lincecum didn’t rebound, the Giants would have little shot to take the West. The great thing, for SF, is Lincecum has for the most part recovered. Good times.
by Dave in the City on Sep 29, 2010 10:44 AM PDT reply actions
But Bochy ISN’T adapting. He has always been a great pitcher manager and usually gets the most out his players and rarley leaves them in to long.

He’s got some sack with the bullpen. He was willing to give a junk-ballin control specialist like Romo a lot of rope, willing to give Casilla and Runzler important roles.
Mark DeRosa, still existing.
Would you guys say that the bullpen for the Giants is underrated? I do notice that Romo and Wilson have been for the most part pretty good.

good morning everyone
wat great day to be a giants fan.
To wake up in a beautiful morning to think finally of all years of frustration and disappointments were finally close from winning the division.
magic number 4 :)
I think it’s incredible that the Giants are on the verge of 90 wins. I thought they’d come close but I didn’t think they’d get 90+ at the start of the season. They’ve had a nice run.
by Dave in the City on Sep 29, 2010 10:45 AM PDT up reply actions
yea me too
at the beginning of the season i predicted that the giants record was goin to be 92-70 because of the amazing pitching staff.
but after a 41-40 start there was no way the giants were winning at least 90 games. it was all over the papers hell, even sabean thought this team wasn’t capable of being a 90 win team.
its just amazing the turn around of events its happening. this team has torturing magic inside lol
remember who was actually the starting 9 on opening day.
yeah, i didnt think we’d even win 88 again
