Post-game thread: Giants lose to Dodgers, on pace for worst season in baseball history

Something you don’t think about during spring training: what a one-run game feels like. If there’s a one-run game in the Cactus League, it doesn’t mean much by the time you get to Joe Shlabotnik in the bottom of the ninth. Low scoring, one-run games are freaky. Sometimes they can turn on the darnedest things. Like, oh, not CATCHING THE DAMN BASEBALL. But let’s be pragmatic about this:
The Good
Tim Lincecum’s easy 94/95 MPH fastball was better than a million spring wins. At the risk of sounding heretical, I’m far more comfortable losing tonight’s game with Lincecum pitching like that than I would be winning an 8-7 affair in which Lincecum was pulled early before a furious comeback. That’s the luxury of having 161 more regular season games. I’m not as big of a velocity snob as some folks were during DEFCON Timmy last year, but it certainly helps when he has a little extra on his fastball.
Brandon Belt has a fantastic approach. Even when he made outs, he looked good. When he had a Kirk Rueter swing against Jonathan Broxton, obviously looking for a fastball he didn’t get, he calmed himself and controlled the rest of the at-bat. I think he has a good chance to make this team out of camp as soon as this season.
It didn’t mean a lot, but the part of me that still hangs onto the psychology of baseball -- loosely defined as finding intangible evidence to support your preconceived notions -- likes that Pat Burrell hit a home run off Jonathan Broxton. The Giants probably don’t even make the playoffs if Broxton was any good in the second half, and everyone knows it. A quick 1-2-3 wouldn’t have counted as an extra loss, but maybe there’s a 3% chance that it would have puffed Broxton up. Mentally, I mean.
The Bad
I’m not worried about Miguel Tejada’s throws to second; I’m worried about his range. I’m not worried about Buster Posey’s throws to third; I’m worried about my wife leaving me for him. I’m not especially worried about the Giants’ defense catching the ball. I’m worried about a few of them getting close enough to the ball to attempt a catch. So as far as ways to lose a game, this one stings, but it doesn’t feel like an omen game.
Well, except for the not-scoring part. Maybe we’ll look back in August, with the Giants sitting at 400 runs and Kershaw with a 6.45 ERA, and think, man, we should have seen the signs early. Doubtful, though. Clayton Kershaw is kind of a monster when he has his command. While it’s fun to laugh at the Royals and Tigers for whiffing on Lincecum in the 2006 draft, part of me wants to poke both of the scouting directors from those organizations who didn’t take Kershaw either. He is a bad Dodger, by which I mean he’s a really good Dodger.
If Santiago Casilla isn’t throwing 95 MPH, he’s the waiver bait he was before he came to the Giants. He picked it up in the later part of the inning, but his velocity has been down all spring. It’s not panic time, but it’s not not panic time.
The Ugly
Randy Johnson retired, and so did the punchline to this bit. But we could probably find some ugly if we tried.
I actually kind of enjoy Orel Hershiser the broadcaster. And, sure, he was a Dodger great, but he wasn’t the worst Giant in the world, either. But he really is kind of a goony bird.
A loss. It wasn’t a fun loss. They rarely are. But it wasn’t a sob-in-yer-ale loss. It was just a good game kind of loss. Except for that part where they DIDN’T CATCH THE DAMNED BALL, but that’s just quibbling.
Dang it. I hate it when the Giants lose to the Dodgers.

I’m slightly more optimistic than GP, I think right now Crawford would hit .225/.300/.330 with +5 < X < +10 defense

He’s replacement level. At best.

What was with the backstop camera? That is not the way to show pitches.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
When I read the captions (I was out watching the game, so the restaurant put up the captions), the only time I remember them using that backstop camera was to see if Nate would not/run on a 3-2 count.
And then Torres promptly hit a foul ball right below the backstop camera.

Please don't cut Ishikawa! 2009 Tops All-Star Rookie and World Champ 2010!
He had a ‘I know exactly what strategy each team should take’ attitude and seemed almost annoyed when the teams didn’t follow his ‘advice,’ which got grating at a certain point – even though I’m pretty sure he knows enough to have a legit opinion on those topics.

Oh THOSE Giants
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Posey
Bad things I noticed Posey did:
-Let catchable ball go to the backstop and the runner advanced into scoring position(might have been glare of sun in center)
- Threw away ball to Pablo at third and the Kemp scores(shouldn’t have even attempted it)
-Possibly calls for a looping curve from Casilla to Loney who nails it for a RBI double.(I’ve seen Loney hit those a lot and thats how Casilla has been throwing it. Though Casilla might have called for it.)
-Initially didn’t run hard on the ball hit in the 9th(might have been hurting because he was jammed)
-Keeps getting jammed at the plate.
DFA him!

I was as anti-Zito as anyone the last half of the year, but Zeets kicked ass in ST and had a solid first half last year. We need him to contribute again out of the gate so, no I'm not happy about his injury and it could set the Giants back.

NHL playoffs are a crapshoot.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
Except the Sharks... Unfortunately :(
You know exactly how they’re going to do.
Incidentally, I used to hate the Canucks forever, especially during the Bertuzzi years.
However, the Canucks site on SBnation made the music of the day dedicated to my favorite musician who is just about the only interest of mine (besides my own creative endeavors) that I lurve as much as the Giants. So, I guess their fans are cool.
Vancouver is like the coolest place ever, so I’m sort of passively rooting for the Canucks.

Depends… hockey playoffs are kinda like baseball playoffs in that the hot hand often wins through. This is why Sharks fans are kind of glad that they haven’t breezed through this season, and are getting hot now, not in December.
The other factor is injury. Who can stay healthy, and of your players that ARE injured how much is it screwing up their game.

It was a perfect storm of bad moves
By people, some of which, aren’t typically made.
I honestly chalk up the pick-off attempt to cockiness. That’ll come back down to earth hard tonight after Matt just sits in the locker room staring at them until they apologize even though he wasn’t even on the mound.
Buster looked worse than I’ve seen him in ages… and possibly ever because I don’t think he’s ever made that big a series of un-Poseylike decisions.
Andres, while not great, and made one poor choice, did do his best to battle back in that at-bat.
But now for the real observations. Brandon is there to play, and honestly looks like he should stay at first. He was on top of EVERYTHING that came his way defensively, and certainly knew when it was the right time to get outs himself. He is a special player, and not just because of the plate discipline (which is AWESOME.), he’s a real talent defensively and THAT’S how you can tell he’s not just a flash in the pan. Now, rookies will break your heart, but I do have some real optimism about him.
Moreso than Tejada, moreso than errant throws, moreso than anything else, I am worried entirely by the prospect of Huff and Burrell corners. Yikes tonight.

I so agree with all of this, including the pick-off, which might have been spurred by the casual (even taunting) return to the base.
Buster will adjust that, but we’ll pay for Huff and Burrell in the corners.

In the end, he wasn’t sharp but still put up 7 very strong innings. It took all of the Giants’ screwups and faults for the Bums to eek out a win.
Wilson out also played a part cuz Romo couldn’t pitch the 8th.
Bright spot:
Belt
and maybe Bochy moves Miggy down to the 8th spot.

I’m not blaming him either, Kemp would have stolen pretty much no matter how good of a throw Posey made but his throw wasn’t great either I was just agreeing with them. Kemp beat the throw by a mile and I was commenting that his throw was very short and bounced a few feet in front of Sanchez.

Was at the game
Pretty much what everyone here said:
- Defense was bad.
- Tejada could’ve planted his feet instead of falling off-balance and winging the ball into RF.
- Posey never needed to throw that ball to 3B. You’re taught that in Little League. I’m sure he knows the difference between aggressive and unnecessarily risky.
- Kershaw was nasty. Guys were jumpy at the plate too though.
- Timmy was dialing it. Routinely hitting 94 with ease. Breaking stuff wasn’t as sharp, hence the fewer K’s, but the Dodgers weren’t hitting anything hard. Couple flairs.
- PtB owns Broxton. I look forward to more of these matchups.
- Belt is as poised as Posey at the plate. So nice to watch players hit with discipline and patient. Reminds me of that Barry guy from a few years back.

I love baseball. I love the Giants, and I’m very passionate about it. Fighting over your favorite baseball team is idiotic. You’re not going to convince the other person to have a change of heart, and you’re really fighting over a bunch of guys who are playing a game. And fighting is inherently dumb anyways.
One flap down.
Since I missed this thread last night...
…I have nothing much to add to the comments above, except:
1) I watched the last four innings on TV, and that was the worst production work on an ESPN baseball telecast I’ve ever seen. I think Shulman’s pretty good, I don’t mind Orel (TWSS!), Bobby Valentine can DIAF, but whoever directed that broadcast should never be allowed near a baseball game again.
2) My head tells me it was just one game out of 162. Hey, you win some, you lose some. Kershaw looked really good last night, and the Giants were shaky defensively. Things happen. And yet because it was Opening Day, and against the Dodgers, I stewed over the loss all last night and this morning, replaying parts of the game in my head like the goddamn Zapruder film. Conclusion: my Giants fandom is already in mid-season form.

I read that as I like Satan the first time
I went to the game last night. Picked up some 80 dollar seats, left San Diego at 1:45 (45 minutes delayed of course) and got in our seats just in time to see the bottom of the 4th inning. When people say Dodger Stadium traffic sucks, multiply it mentally by 10. What sucks is watching the 7th inning stretch replay the b2 bomber that flew over your head while you heard it in the car, waiting in line to park.
Anyways… we did the LA thing and left at the bottom of the 8th, at 8pm, so we had a prayer of getting home before midnight, and listened to the game in the car.
It was interesting being heckled by Dodger fans. Guys next to you might smile and say something poking, other groups might get 10 guys to chant Giants suck at you. We left and saw 2 guys fighting in a crowd. 3 guys with Dodger logos (look like they work there) went over to look at it, but the 5 seconds I watched walking away, they did little to stop the fight.
Timmy looked good. In the 6th with the bases juiced, me and my gf both said barajas had no shot in hell, Timmy looked stone cold locked in. Posey didn’t help him much, sigh but he did catch the runner sleeping, so I like the aggression and confidence.
Game 1, Dodgers 1, Giants 0, Eric’s trip to Dodger land 0, LA Traffic 1,000,000
