Post-game thread: Giants score runs for Cain, hit four home runs at Petco; FAA confirms plague of locusts heading toward farm belt
by Grant Brisbee on Sep 9, 2010 9:58 PM PDT
Email
PrintEvery Giants fan kept hearing things like, "The Giants are going into San Diego again, but it’s a different Giants team this time." And I kept thinking, so what? Even if the names change, the freaky Petco malaise should stay the same.
Mike Murphy: Okay, so here’s your uniform.New Giants Player: Great, thanks.
Mike Murphy: Here’s your Giants hat.
New Giants Player: Cool. Looks good.
Mike Murphy: Here’s a coupon for 10% off of Beach Blanket Babylon tickets.
New Giants Player: Uh, thanks.
Mike Murphy: And here’s a bag of powdered suck. Please, don’t open that until you play the Padres.
New Giants Player: Uh. I’m pretty sure I don’t want that.
Mike Murphy: Yeah, I’m not sure why we give that out. Still, take it. You know, just in case.
And then there were dingerz. Aubrey Huff hit one 647 feet to just clear the center field wall. Juan Uribe did the same. Buster Posey hit one in the second deck, and Pat Burrell hit one in the 74th deck. It was beautiful.
Matt Cain.
Was it a "statement game?" I don’t know if those exist. Maybe the statement was "We will not get swept, and Matt Cain is awesome." Then, yeah, it was a statement game. And, lo, the statement was good. But there’s still a lot of work to do. One win in a four-game series would be a pretty dismal outcome.
But, hey, the gnashing of teeth would have been audible in Delaware if the Giants had lost tonight. Huge win. Beautiful win. More of these, please.

It’s not that I like Guillen, it’s that I have no problem with them playing him everyday in RF as long as they pull him early for defense. I don’t cry and break things like others when I see his name in the starting lineup. The Giants have gotten nothing out of RF all year, and right now he is the pick of a very ugly litter. I don’t want Guillen back next year, and Cody Ross is a far better choice going forward next season. As for him only batting 32 times as a Giant, he was having a shitty year for the Marlins as well.

I think the Guillen hate goes too far, especially when people curse the player, and not the man putting him out there. But I think “playing the hot hand” usually doesn’t work in baseball, and he’s a ticking time bomb in the OF. Play the better player, who gives a crap about what the last 30 ABs have looked like for either of them.

especially when people curse the player, and not the man putting him out there.
There has been plenty of discussion regarding the head/brain ratio of Bochy regarding Guillen. History has proven that Bork’s OMGVPE (oh my god veteran player experience) can only be cured by a trade or DFA.
..he’s a ticking time bomb in the OF. Play the better player, who gives a crap about what the last 30 ABs have looked like for either of them.And therein lies the rub. IMO, Bochy believes that Guillen’s OMGVPE makes him the better player. I would bet that Bochy thinks Posey only hit his HR last night because Guillen was hitting behind him, not because Buster is a monster and the Pad’s made a mistake pitching to him with 1B open.
Adopted Son: !Matt Downs I'll miss you my son.
Ah, so you want Schierholtz in.
Actually, we don’t know for sure what Nate’s capabilities are, but I suspect that offensively they’re very much like Ross’s; meanwhile, his defense is at least as good as Ross’s, and arguably better, saving his lack of experience in tje other OF positions.

To be fair, Burrell’s probably a worst defensive player. But Burrell shouldn’t be taken out anyways, in the case of a comeback. In that scenario, it’s too big of a dropoff in offensive performance to make the defensive upgrade.

It’s been a tragic night and morning here in San Bruno.
Let's bring the...
My sister and I tried giving blood before she had to go to work.
Red Cross in our area referred us to a Blood Center (hopefully because they’re booked) of the Pacific close-by. CBS was already there, and the wait was, like, half an hour. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the time, so we’re planning on maybe Tuesday (she can’t go tomorrow, for she has Urban Dare).
I was going to post a pic showing my arm with proof of my first time giving blood, but I guess that’s not going to happen any time soon.
But yeah: go look up Blood Centers of the Pacific first if you’re in the area; they’re probably a bit more available than the Red Cross right now.
Also OT: my sister and I know someone who lost their home to the fire; their father suffered third-degree burns. Hoping and praying that the burns are not in a serious place (hopefully on extremities). I’ve been trying to contact my friend who also lives close by to the impact zone, but no dice.

I was at the gym when the game started. As I was working out, the Giants scored three runs.
Then I decided it was time to leave. That is when Venable hit the home run.
So you know what I did?

Actually,
they say Panda does live pretty close to there. Not as close as his mom, but maybe a couple miles away.
Also, my family and I live about a mile and a half away from the center of the blaze. Fortunately, the wind is blowing southeast, and we live north of the area, so there was little to no chance of any smoldering flames coming to our area. They still cut our power soon after the incident (PG&E actually has a set of transformers close to the area), which meant I couldn’t watch/hear the games or go online.

They have a fairly cushy schedule, too.

I want to see some studies
about their late inning comebacks, how many runs they score on average in the late innings, at home and away, in the second half versus the first half.

I thought about Burrell, “Why don’t we have players like that.” And, well, now we do. Cool. But I also thought that about Rowand, so, there you go.

I wonder what’s going on with Rowand. When Burrell signed I figured he’d be buddy-buddy with Rowand because they played together in Philadelphia. Instead, Burrell became BFF’s with Huff. I guess Rowand isn’t much fun to be around these days, because he isn’t playing. I also wonder if Rowand isn’t thrilled with Pat being here because he took away his playing time.

It’s a very good point, actually, but there’s just as much reason to believe that they can sustain this performance at least until the postseason. Too, it would be a very, very odd coincidence (though, certainly, not impossible) if every arm got tired at the same exact time.
I dont think that will happen
We know the story on Latos and how they are trying to save him some nnings. I think some guys might, but definitely not all. Bell will be strong all year.

I agree.
And I don’t think their brand of offense is going to just disappear. The game might’ve been different tonight if Garland had kept them in it. Richard’s abused the Giants tonight and Sanchez has been the victim of some very bad luck against the Padres, so, hopefully the tables will turn a bit like they did tonight.
I wouldn’t say they would all get tired, but rather move back towards their true talent level. Every single player on their team (offense and pitching) outside Gonzalez is basically having a career year, or at least best year in a few.

Now for the bad news
Whenever the Giants hit a lot of dingerz they often follow it up by swinging at anything and everything trying to hit HRs. This usually fails miserably against a good pitcher.
I hope they don’t do this.

let’s not pronounce the Padres done just yet, though

The rotation shakeup was unintended, Latos was violently ill over the weekend (as were a few other Padres). And I don’t think that you can call throwing an ace against an ace stupid – even if we accept the premise that you win the game your ace pitches, then you lose the game where the other team throws their ace.
that premise you mentioned is true 90% of the time I’d imagine. I would rather take the much greater chances that our ace beats their #5, as opposed to ace on ace. I think they thought they’d beat us up, then beat our ace just to kick us in the ass on the way out.

We were on the second level for that game and it seemed like it would take a small miracle for anyone to hit a ball to us. Pat the Bat’s ball tonight was pretty much exactly where we were plus at least 40 more feet straight above us. That is unfuckingreal!!! For anyone that has ever hit a bomb in baseball/softball/T-ball/little league, think about how much more distance you would’ve gotten out of it if it were 40 vertical feet higher. Amazing!

I saw a story on him and his brother the other day. Pretty crazy (and admirable if you ask me) what they go through. They said he lost 11 pounds the first day of training camp last year. Now he has to wake up at 2am and 5am to have protein shakes and a huge breakfast before sunrise. Amazing that they can make it through those workouts without food or water
I read that totally wrong.

Wow. After this series, the Giants play 6 games against teams over .500 – 3 each against the Padres and Rockies – and 12 against teams with sub-.500 records in the Brewers, Cubs, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers.
The average win percentage of our oppponents: .448, good for a 63-77 record

I’m thinking about booking a flight and going down to SD for the game on Sunday.

Matt Cain is a Giant Douche
http://glbwiki.creanium.net/wiki/Matt_Cain
A giant douche. One example of douche-like behavior is when he routinely rubs out the “SD” logo the grounds crew puts on the backup of the mound at Petco Park. Another example occurred in 2007. Cain first ran his mouth at Scott Hairston after the Padres OF hit a home run and flipped his bat. Later in the same game he waved goodbye to Scott Hairston after striking him out. Douche. He and the Giants lost the game.

You already get to put that on the grass behind the plate. And the outfield grass if the grounds crew feel creative. And everywhere else in the ballpark.

Something I learned from watching Evan Longoria's homer two nights ago and Chris Johnson's home run tonight:
Short porches make long home runs look fucking epic. Fenway and Enron are cool in my book. Kind of.
This is true. I thought Posey’s ball was absolutely crushed tonight (which it was), but it was the shortest of the four homers. I mean, you hit a ball into the 2nd deck and it doesn’t even go 400 feet?

I want to see what HitTracker has to say about these home runs when they post them in a couple of days.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
My impressionistic observation is that the distances reported in the ESPN box scores, which are available right away at the conclusion of the game, match up exactly with Hitracker’s figures 2-3 days later. They say (as I reported below) Huff/Uribe/Posey/Burrell went 411/410/417/379.

I didn’t know that ESPN listed such things, but if they match the listings they throw up on BBTN or SC sometimes, I admit I am a bit dubious.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
According to the ESPN box score estimates, Posey’s was the longest at 417 feet. Huff’s (411’) and Uribe’s (410’) were virtually the same distance (both hit to the same spot, though as Huff observed Uribe’s was opposite-field). Burrell’s was actually the shortest at 379 feet.
I saw Pujols hit one to a similar spot at Petco two years ago. It looked very, very impressive going so high off the WMSC, but it turned out to be only about 400’.

Burrell’s was shortest because it was still about 379 feet in the air when it ran into a building 379 feet away. That ball would’ve landed in the Gaslamp if the building didn’t stop it
The 379’ estimate does seem short, but presumably these estimates understand arc and trajectory, and the distance to the hypothesized landing spot if there were no obstructions. HitTracker makes a big deal about all this and I thought it had access to secret data, etc., but IF its figures are the same as the ones the ESPN box scores list right away, then everyone must be going off some publicly available data that already incorporates this methodology to come up with its estimates.
I’ll check HitTracker to see what it says when the site posts data for games on the 9th.

2) Coming in at #2 in the Top Ten was a highlight by Redwood vs. Mt. Diablo high school football game (?!), and they mentioned that Pete Carroll is a Redwood alum. I find that weird.

3) Bork should’t have left Matt in there with an extended, rested bullpen. 8IP, 1R, you did your job.
oh he didn’t? it happened around 630 so I thought he did.
in that case, let’s slay the Panda. He also probably won’t be starting tomorrow given he hits poor from the right side, and Renteria is fine by me (with Uribe to 3rd)

yeah
He didn’t know about it until afterward. And even if he knew about it today and that’s why he did poorly, that still doesn’t excuse his previous nights of shit play.

yeah but having something like that in the back of your mind when trying to play can be tough, you really need to be able to block things out if you want to be getting hits (and playing well overall).
Since he didn’t know about it beforehand, it’s a moot point. My bad

also, whether Torres hits well from the right side or not, he needs to be in the lineup. His D is worth the risk of an 0-4 night

Another gem from Baggs:
Another interesting home run factoid for the Giants: Their four homers came in consecutive innings. The last time the Giants homered in four consecutive innings was Aug. 16, 2007, at Atlanta.
Yep, it was a regular murderer’s row that day. I’d give you eighty billion guesses and you still wouldn’t come up with the quartet: Bengie Molina, Daniel Ortmeier, Randy Winn and Kevin Frandsen.
If you had the quinella on that, hey, put down the computer and haul yourself to Del Mar.

When’s the last timei two teams combined for 6 home runs at petco? Must have been a long time ago unless I’m mistaken.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
From the same postgame notes:
In case you were wondering, the record for home runs hit by one team in a game at Petco Park is five, last done in 2008. The Padres have done it twice and the Braves did it once (in a 15-12 game, and I think they must’ve had the bonobos from the San Diego Zoo pitching in some kind of promotional stunt that day).
I’d have to imagine in one of those games, the other team hit at least one home run. So, maybe a couple years? Maybe more, maybe less. Real helpful, I know.

There might have been some 3 and 3 though.

During the game, the Pads announcers said that this was the first time any team had hit four HRs in a game against the Pads this year. I guess that includes on the road as well.

I didn’t see the point in picking him up at the time, didn’t think he’d had that much to offer a team that had pretty strong pitching…and he’s been quietly yet effectively getting the job done pretty much every time we put him out there, including last night.
I still have hope.

It varies between Scotch and all the others.
I think. (Going on dim memory.) I believe Scotch is “whisky” and the rest are each a “whiskey”. Note that the word derives from an ancient term—Celtic? Pictish?—meaning “water of life”.

WTF Gaslampball
At some point between the 3rd and the 6th inning when the Giants were raining home run balls on the poor children at the Petco Beach, a Giants fan dressed in a prison uniform came to heckle us. “STAND UP FOR THE GIANTS!” My response was that we were there for that very reason since the Giants are the cancer of the league.
This was one of those Stand Up to Cancer people in the outfield during the game yesterday.
Joe Mauer is from Minnesota. My adopted son, RHP Steve Edlefsen, is from Minnesota. Joe Mauer is very good at baseball. Call up Steve Edlefsen, Giants! Science™ is begging you.

Stand Up To Cancer
A subtle difference between that and “Stand Up For Cancer”

I wonder who the Lupus of the league is.
