Post-post-game thread: Padres get shut out

Now instead of three in a row, the Padres have to beat the Giants four games in a row. Torture is still on the menu, but it's better to have that insurance policy than not have it.
One game. Win one more game in the regular season. Please. Just one.

When he was with the Pirates, he hurt his shoulder and they thought he might not be able to pitch anymore, so they sent him to the Arizona instructional league in the fall to play OF. He won the triple crown.

<<Impressionable utes weren’t the only ones watching when Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini (right) passed out victory cigars and then lit up after his team clinched the NL Central title at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.
Also watching at home on television were at least five whistle-blowers who noted that the Reds were violating Ohio’s indoor-smoking ban. They called Cincinnati’s health department to report the team and now the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the club is under investigation.
In case you’re wondering, the answer is yes — I’m extremely sorry to report that there are people living among us who would actually do this.>>

Really?
I have to put this one on Bud Black
A 7 game lead and 25 games over .500 in August just doesn’t disappear without some serious intervention.
Fire Bud Black
Really?
He didn't tell everyone Ludwick was their "big bat" at the trade deadline
And he is a former pitcher. Pitching kicked booty this year, right next to the Giants. I would not fire Black after a break out year. Giants did similar last year… Botch is still here. When I say similar, have a breakout year and have a good September race for post season.

This is why they're awful fans
Seriously, Adrian Gonzalez could make a case for best hitter in baseball (just wait until he gets out of Petco). I’ll be happy when he leaves, I’m sure the Red Sox fans will appreciate him when he gets about 80 doubles a season.

They aren’t pleased with him because he just did an interview with a Chicago newspaper saying he’d like to play for the Cubs…

And I thought they took the quote out of context?
Seriously, turn on your player after the season. Suck it Padres.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
Eh, I think they’re right to be mad. Imagine us being at this point in the season in the last year of Matt Cain’s contract and him saying something like that to the Braves press.
Course, Matt would never actually do this by you see what I’m getting at.

And why does Gonzalez want to leave? Because his fan base is pathetic and he’d want to be appreciated. If our fans couldn’t even get close to a sell-out in a pennant race Cain should have the right to leave. But fortunately that’s not the case, because Cain knows he’s loved.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
Exactly. You just know that the Padres players are all thinking something along the lines of what Evan Longoria recently stated about his own fans.

I’m not saying Gonzalez doesn’t have a right to feel that way or say what he said, I just think the fans also have a point. I can see both sides.

Wait you mean San Diego even has fans? I’d want out if I was Gonzalez too. He’s a native of SD and he doesn’t even want them. Who can blame him when San Diego is the worst sports town in America, if not the world. Every single Chargers or Padres game is packed with the opposing teams fans that out cheer the home crowd, EVERY TIME.
I went to a game at the Murph a few years before they opened Petco against the Cards, and like 3/4 of the stadium was wearing red that day. Every time the Giants play down there you can easily hear a “LET’S GO GIANTS” uproar from the crowd, and a swell of cheers whenever we score or make a good play. The same thing happens for Charger games. Those fans don’t even deserve a team, let alone a great player like Adrian.
Apparently it was Bud Black that blew this game.

Meh, for what he’d cost, I think we’re better off spending money elsewhere. We have enough depth at 1B, it would be better to spend on Werth/Crawford or try to find a SS option.
I’d throw in Chris Ray in front of Guillen not because of anything he’s done as a Giant thus far, but because he was the return for Molina. I might even put him in the top three or four, because getting rid of Molina was probably one of the best moves Sabean made this season.

WTF! EVERYONE I MEAN EVERYONE thought they were going to be last in the division like the d-backs with a horrible record rite now. they should be proud of their team and that they have a great future ahead.
also that the giants or the so called vagiants were the better team then them this year :)

It is easy to see why they'd be depressed
They led the division almost the entire year. They had a 6.5 game lead at the end of August.
I can definitely understand the depression.
Imagine if McCovey Chronicles existed in 1993
Had a double digit lead in July and lost it.

I find it hilarious that you cherrypicked that one stat out of 5 or 6. If anything a counting stat like RBI is more impressive considering the gap in PT.
And RBIs are relevant to the discussion due to the people voting on ROY. Nor are they completely irrelevant anyway.
if youre going to use RBI’s in the discussion because the voters will use it, remember that Posey hits cleanup, while Heyward hits second, so it’s a moot point. However, Heyward may have a ton more runs scored than Posey, since he hits before the middle of the order. I’d say they cancel each other out because of where each hits in the lineup

It doesn’t take fucking sabermetrics to figure out Felix is better than CC. If they watched these games it would be pretty fucking obvious who was the better pitcher.
who was saying that Felix's latest 1-0 loss
might actually gain him some votes? since it so epitomizes the BS that is the W-L record when it comes to him.

I know he’s been dominant, but I’m surprised they let him throw so many innings this year for such an awful team.
200 IP in 2008, 238 last year, 249 this year and only 24 years old. I always forget that he’s been pitching for five years.

One interesting stat on the wins front: I read somewhere that 10 of CC’s 21 wins have come against Baltimore, KC, and Seattle.

I hope we clinch tomorrow with a CG SHO by Cain.
Then I hope SD wins the next 2, and Atlanta gets swept. Thus causing a 1 game playoff for the WC, the winner would have their pitching destroyed for the playoffs. So if Atlanta won the WC, we’d get to face them without their rotation really set, and probably with a tired bullpen. If SD won, then we would get to take on Dusty. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Atlanta scares me too even though they’re wounded. I think the Reds could put up a fight against Philly. They have an offense that matches up to Philly’s pretty good, and their bullpen is probably better then the Phils too.
This is true. I don’t think the Phillies are unbeatable at all. I think that assuming we win one more game, we are the favorites in any series because our pitching is just that good. It will also be nice being the team that everyone else roots for. Everyone else: ppl who don’t have a team in the playoffs.

I do think it makes a bit of a difference that while Detroit was the team that needed to win just one game, they sort of backed into that series, while the Twins went storming into it. The Giants are coming off a sweep and the Padres are coming off losing 3 of 4 to a sub-.500 team at home.

ERA: 0.70
FIP: 3.87
xFIP: 5.38
SSS but still, he has been remarkably lucky. I much prefer Casilla to him, but it’s clear Bochy doesn’t
I don't have all the fancy stats
but he’s had three good years in a row on the classic stats. And he will only be 30 next year.
Let's bring the...
He’s still been pretty good in past years, I don’t think his xFIP in a SSS is a reason to let him go. Especially since MR aren’t very good anyways.
"Catch that, Eckstein!" - Duane Kuiper
He was good in 2008, and has not been prepossessing since. Middle relievers like him are fungible. I’d drop him.
they should at least try to trade him
but i highly doubt they will
idk
maybe to a GM who only considers ERA and strand rate for relievers
One of those GM's only gave up Dan Turpen for him

"Screw it, Redbull time"-Brian Wilson
What?
My impression was that you shouldn’t use FIP or xFIP with relievers, especially in this case, because the sample size is too small.

I hope we clinch tomorrow, so I can watch the last two games and not freak out if we lose a game, or give up a few runs, and just enjoy it for what it is- baseball. If they take this to the end to clinch, it’s gonna be a long weekend.
I just want Sat and Sun to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy it, not be on the edge of my seat pulling my hair out. Cause there will be plenty of that in the playoffs.

The Padres have probably played themselves out of the postseason...
…but I can’t help but look at the NL East and NL West standings and say, y’know?
If the Padres pull a sweep out of their collective asses and the Phillies sweep the Braves, all three teams will finish the regular season with 91 wins. However, Atlanta will get rewarded for finishing 8 games out of first place with the wild card, while the loser of the one-game playoff will get punished for being good enough to FORCE that playoff by getting sent home.
That’s all kinds of messed up.

Any playoff games played to determine a Division champion shall not count in determining which Clubs are deemed tied for a Wild Card designation.

One last thing.......
The Cubs have on their roster a player who calls his private part “Pinkie”, a player who still wets his bed, and a player who is called “Saddlebag Ass” by his team-mates, and they beat the Padres 2 out of 3 in the series, plus they are the Cubs!!!!! The Giants are more emotionally stable, so they should be able to win at least one, and that’s all it takes.
