Post-game thread: Matt Cain

PrintUsed to be my goal in life was to write a little bit, tell some naughty limericks, and beat Ninja Gaiden without a Game Genie. Simple things, but I'm a simple man.
Too simple. My new goal is to use Matt Cain as a blunt object to prove that pitcher wins are the worst widely accepted stat in baseball. Worse than RBI. Far worse than batting average. Because if you believe in the narrative of pitcher wins, every pitcher is responsible for a ton of stuff out of his control. How his bullpen pitches. How well his team hits. The pitcher is responsible for noticing all of these things, and then bearing down or letting up as needed.
Ridiculous. Matt Cain pitched today like he has since he came up with the Giants as a 20-year-old. He got strikeouts, he got fly outs, and he avoided the home run. He pitched with the same level of concentration that he would if it were the World Series, which we know because we watched him do it in the World Series. He took a foul ball off his pitching hand, got down a bunt on the next pitch, and stayed in the game because he's Matt Cain, a man who flosses his teeth with black mambas and shaves with an open flame.
Cain was a passed ball away from a no-decision. He was a fly ball away from a no-decision. And if one of those things had happened, he still would have been Matt Cain. In the past, one of those things would have happened. That's how you become one of the unluckiest pitchers of the past 70 years. You were excused for being cynical and expecting the bullpen meltdown.
As is, he got the win. That doesn't make him better -- it just means his bullpen was a little better than it was in the past. He's still Matt Cain.
Have you noticed that I like typing Matt Cain? Matt Cain Matt Cain Matt Cain. Lincecum gets the press, Wilson gets the talk-show appearances, and Posey gets the endorsements and my letters written with what he's right in hoping is red ink, but Matt Cain was the original hope -- the first guy on a bad team to make the transition from prospect to fixture.
Four more wins in a row would be swell. Not for the Giants -- though that would be super keen as well -- but for Cain. That would get him to .500 for his career, which would prove what we've always suspected: Cain is a completely average pitcher.
Pffft. Even in jest, it's hard to type those words without twitching. Matt Cain is awesome, and we're crazy lucky to have watched him pitch for as long as we have, and hopefully we'll get to watch him for a lot longer.
Also: Matt Cain.

And then Javier Lopez made left-handed hitters look silly.

But all of the left-handed ones.

That image is over .500 for it’s career, but it’s ERA has consistently been about a run higher than it’s xFIP. People kept drafting it in fantasy baseball, hoping luck would normalize and all those strike outs would help them with their ERA as well, but people have recently begun to think that image might just be an outlier, the exception that proves the rule.

In much the same way, on the Giants pitching staff, Timmy is Husker Du, and Matt Cain is the Replacements. Matt doesn’t “win” as often, he’s not as flashy with his stuff. He just goes out there and pitches. Wait, that makes him brilliant. Also, Timmy is more of the loose cannon, so really, he should be The Replacements.

You can’t assume that every game is going to be a nail biter with your team barely ahead. You try to win every game, and Bochy did it perfectly in the first 5 games by using Wilson when he did. It just so happened that the 6th game, we could have also used Wilson.

Tuesday, it was 0-0, top 9. That’s standard use your best pitcher time. That’s more important than being up 1-0 in the top of the 9th, in my opinion.

FtF: Welcome to Opposite Season!
McC: Don't get it? Try the McWiki wiki.
Yesterday both the Republicans and Democrats, after significant and lengthy discussion, passed a bill that added an additional 247 Million more to educational funding. The Governor has stated that he will not increase any taxes whatsoever to fund programs or education this session.
Nevada’s Legislature only meets every two years. A system that is as antiquated as the state’s tax base. He now has to Sign or Veto this legislation. Students have been camped out at the Capitol building for over a week now.
When your state is fifty first in funding per pupil, (yes I said fifty first, even Puerto Rico is ahead of Nevada) you should probably invest more in your education system. Instead all we get is hyperbole about “Teachers must be more accountable”, “we must change the system to root out the bad teachers”.

A quick look tells me that the most recent complete data is for 2008. Nevada was 44th, and AZ was 49th. Keep in mind this occured when Nevada was still gowing in home sales, tax base and population.
It is often hard to tell, but quotes are frequently used by the media and other sources to frame the debate. Both Nevada and AZ are the fourth quartile for funding per this link from the NSF

Are you expecting regression?
Isn’t it more like a coin flip? The previous results don’t affect future ones. (If anything, winning one-run games build confidence.)
I would say expecting to lose morev than half of the future 1-run games would be based in nothing more than pessimism
The thong is, it happened.

I don’t think we will go at an .800 clip in 1-run games. But the teams comfort zone seems to be close games, so I’d expect them win a lot more 1-win games than they lose.

Like that fanpost last year proved
Home teams tend to win 1-run games, so maybe if there was a big road trip coming up you could expect the odds to shift out of your favor slightly.
Whoops, that wasn't very clear.
What I mean is that because the game ends when the home team goes up by 1 in the bottom of the 9th or later, home teams have more victories than road teams in games where the margin of victory is exactly 1.
I'd love to see stats that back this up
My heart tells me that “last ups” provides an advantage, but my brain says both teams get the same number of outs.
I’d suspect that the home team wins 1-run games no more than the normal home-team winning percentage.

Bochy, who noted that Posey likely would have gotten the day off even without the skull scare, was never diagnosed with a concussion as a player and theorized that (a) it might take a wrecking ball to do any real damage to his famously huge melon, and (b) “They probably wouldn’t have been able to tell anything was different because I was never [all that quick on the uptake] to begin with.”
They might be Giants...but they are definitely WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

Even after his bullpen moves in the 8th inning today, I still can’t get too upset at him any more. Dude managed the team to a World Series victory last season, they just went 6-0 on the homestand, and are in 1st place. Any complaints are just quibbling.

Things I took issue with today
One: Jeremy Affeldt. The game seems to crumble around him when he pitches. The 2-strike hard hit balls he always gives up irk me even more.
Two: Miguel trying to tag people before he has the ball
Three: Bork giving Romo one batter (though it worked out, still irks me)
Four: the ‘pen cashing in Cain’s runs to keep their ERAs low.
Another win that was closer than it had to be. But I’ll take it. Glady. Also, Matt Cain.
The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. ~Inspire Me

Affeldt had bad luck today.
"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!"
I kinda blame Bochy for that.
He’s a ground ball pitcher. He needs to come in early in an inning with no one on. With a runner in scoring position, you need to bring in a strike out pitcher so you don’t get BABiP’ed into a run.
Brandon Crawford: Your SF Giants 2012 Opening Day starting SS?

What is this cashing in cains runs to keep their own era low?
Allowing hits only increases their chances of inflating their ERA. Inherited runners scoring is a stat that is very important to relievers too. That was definitely not an okay situation for Cain or the relievers, but we persevered and got the W!

95 win pace!
Well ladies and germs we’re right on track for the magic formula. Win 2 out of 3 at home and go .500 on the road. That gets you to 95 wins. (Well, maybe 94, either way pretty good.) This 6-0 homestand pretty much erases that sweep against the Braves.
Still, going 6-0 without ever scoring more than four runs and only getting that many twice is kinda nuts. I love the bullpen, and the starters are going well, but this can’t hold up forever. These guys gotta start getting into the 5s and 6s once in a while. Kinda tough to do it playing 6 on 8, of course. We don’t seem to have a left side of the infield at the moment.
I wonder if Bochy is close to settling on an outfield. I kinda like Ross-Torres-Schierholtz. Good speed and defense from the start. Save Burrell and Rowand for the lefties, if ever.
Also, for all the Romomaniacs out there, settle down. He’s not even the second most valuable guy in the bullpen. We’ve got a few guys to get righties out. Right now it’s fair to wonder if Ramirez is more valuable (though it’s certainly fair to argue Bochy’s given him more of a chance.) I’m sure Sergio will eventually get his chance, most of these 6-8 inning guys have their peaks and valleys, but as of May 12th, Romo is the 4th bullpen guy IMO.
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I think Burrell and Nate should get about equal playing time.
Burrell is still an OBP machine, and the Giants especially need baserunners
I believe the correct term is Romosexuals.

Romo is the best reliever in San Francisco’s bullpen. Historically, he is also better than Brian Wilson.

ESPN.com headline
Matt Cain gets back on track as Giants beat Diamondbacks for sixth straight win
Um…huh? His ERA in his three starts prior to this one: 3.31.
Glad to have the World Series win, but still waiting on my Kim Batiste bobblehead. GET OFF YOUR HANDS, GIANTS BRASS!!!!

sort of
This line was mentioned:
-Matt Cain had his best outing in nearly a month
That’s actually from the AP (ESPN.com ran the AP story, with its own headline). I don’t have any problem with it, because it’s true. The last time he did better than 2 ER in 7.1 innings was April 15th, which is almost a month ago.
That he “[got] back on track,” on the other hand, makes no sense if you actually look at how he’s been pitching.

Wikipedia Sez
The icing rule was introduced to prevent instances where teams facing a much stronger opponent often resorted to pure defense, simply shooting the puck up the ice every time they gained possession, resulting in an unexciting spectacle. Some teams also adopted this tactic to waste time when they were ahead late in the game, especially if the score was still close. The NHL instituted the icing rule on March 13, 1939.
It prevents hockey’s version of the four-corners defense.

That just reminded me
of the article about the creation of West Virginia in the NY Times’ Disunion series last week. In the comments were two people arguing that the Constitution did not give the Federal government the power to create a state out of another state, therefore WV should not exist.
Dad of Ryan Rohlinger: world champion.
Except, of course, the Constitution does exactly that. It’s in Article Four.
LIVE EDT
Tape-delayed for the West Coast
Article Four allows it.
But requires the consent of both the Congress and the legislatures of the States concerned.
Virginia, in a state of secession, would not have consented to leaving part of itself behind.
At best, Virginia could have been made to consent to the division after the fact as a requirement to re-entry to the Union. I don’t recall reading if that ever happened.
by DodgerFanInPackerLand on May 12, 2011 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions
It starts getting a little muddled when you look at the conflicting arguments.
Like…okay, it’s not so much that they created one state from another because Virginia had seceded from the Union, and thus wasn’t a state anymore. Same argument used to justify the requirement that the Confederate states adopt the Reconstruction Amendments before being given full statehood rights again.
Then on the other hand, the argument that secession/rebellion was an illegal act, that those states therefore never left the union, which ought to mean that the creation of West Virginia was unconstitutional, since Virginia’s legislature certainly never gave its consent, which Article Four requires in addition to the consent of Congress.

Et tu, Ribe?
Depends on what your yardstick is, I guess. The Smokies games I’ve seen are pretty well-attended, the Chattanooga Lookouts have a pretty good fanbase, the Memphis Redbirds are popular in west Tennessee.
That said, the Nashville Sounds seem to struggle for attendance. I don’t really know why.

A stereotypical one, sure.
I’ve known some Yankee fans who were as baseball-literate as you could ask for, but happened to grow up in the Bronx, or in a family of Yankee fans, etc. No bandwagoners, they.
My ex? Just liked the Yankees because they’re always a threat to win. She didn’t give a fuck whether or not they ever did; she just liked being able to throw it in the faces of her friends who rooted for other teams whenever the Yankees won.

I used to think icing happened when the puck got too frozen because the players were spraying too much ice on the puck with their skates.
And the little breaks was to put the puck in a little heater

This, they’re just hanging on for dear life and hoping Detroit doesn’t score. No offensive pressure from them as soon as Detroit scored that first goal.
It’s been like that since Wilson was the coach. Get a lead in the playoffs, sit back and play D and hope you come out on top. That never worked.

Based on comments made by Wilson and some of his teammates (Timmy, Affeldt, Romo), Wilson is really protective of his role as closer. Like I’m sure he was pissed he couldn’t go out there to earn the save today. So I’m sure this was Lopez’s way of saying “Just a reminder, I’m not our to take your job”

Sharks Playoff Hockey...TORTURE
This feels like game 5 all over again.
This feels like several of the past years combined right now.

Yup
I’ve definitely got some hockey playoff “blue balls” from this team.
Too many men on the ice
Really?!

Seconded, once again.

Hey, I just recently (about 5 months ago) took an interest in basketball.
Can anyone tell me why LeBron James, despite being the best player, won’t win the MVP award but Derrick Rose likely will?
Pablo Sandoval: The Triforce of Courage
Buster Posey: The Triforce of Wisdom
Brandon Belt: The Triforce of Power
Rose already did win
Had a ridiculous year and was probably the best player in the NBA this year.
Lebron might not have even been the best player on his team. Wade might be the Heat MVP.

can't see the Bulls having much trouble with the Heat
Bulls in 6.

Oh damn.
I stopped paying attention after baseball season began. LeBron has actually been the best according to a lot of the nerb statistics.

really?
i don’t really pay attention to baseball sabermetrics let alone basketball sabermetrics but i would kind of compare it to the reason why Votto won the NL MVP.
Proud adopted parent of Miguel Tejada. No rings, but dude won the AL MVP once.
Because Rose has been the best/most influencial this season?

See Votto vs. Pujols last season.
In order for Pujols to win, he has to be that much better than everybody else. Same goes for LeBron. If it’s close, the other guy tends to get the sympathy vote in that respect.

Thank you.
That’s sounds right. I’m sure a lot of the voters didn’t take too kindly the manner of his exit from Cleveland.

And to be fair,
Derrick Rose has been good, but this season was really his coming out party. That kind of jump in production gets a lot of focus. Much like Votto last season.

Oh don't get me wrong, he's been great.
I would just rather Dwight Howard, LeBron James, or Chris Paul over him to be on my Knicks!

Sharks have a PP
is there any chance they might use it for offense?

they may be better suited to use it and try to kill more time.
too bad you can’t take a knee to run out the clock, lol

Drunk while watching Game 162 of last year,
hoping that Huff and Posey and Sanchie will start to hit like that again, soon. First place feels so good, I don’t want to give it up again!
