Post-game thread: Giants sweep the Dodgers. Type that out yourself. Feels good.

PrintYou know, I’ll give it to Bruce Bochy. Dude don’t give a damn. After three straight games where fans wondered if he left his starting pitcher in too long, he left Madison Bumgarner in to try for a complete game. That’s a manager who is either stubborn or confident. Maybe both. Probably both. It’s impressive, no matter what it is.
Lincecum should have been yoinked way earlier in his start at Coors. Sanchez should have been in retrospect, but that wasn’t an obvious decision. Cain shouldn’t have started the eighth last night. And Bumgarner ... yeah, you knew how that was going to end up.
There’s something to be said for a young pitcher going for his first complete game -- a manager should pick a good spot, if possible. A three-run lead against a moribund offense isn’t a bad spot. It would have been a no-brainer if Bumgarner weren’t already at 100+ pitches. That’s what would have made me think twice; I’m not a pitch-count fanatic, but there has to be a pretty good reason to extend a 21-year-old. A warm, fuzzy moment isn’t one of them.
There’s also this argument: if Bumgarner struggled a little bit to start the inning, Brian Wilson would come in. If Wilson wet the bed, well, he was probably going to wet the bed anyways. And Brian Wilson isn’t right. Maybe that factored into Bochy’s decision. He was wonky last night, and now he had a rolled ankle to deal with There was an argument that he needed a night off if possible. So let Bumgarner try to finish it, and die with Wilson if you were going to die with him anyways
What this was, though, was a reminder that Bruce Bochy doesn’t have a secret formula on how to win money at blackjack. Last October and November, he was just doubling down at the right time, splitting his twos when the dealer would bust, and getting a three every time he hit on 18. And that brilliant, moronic mad genius idiot savant moron braniac did it again. If Schierholtz takes two steps to his right before the last pitch of the game, the Dodgers win. The Giants were a foot away from boosting TV sales in the Bay Area.
Good gravy.
Nate Schierholtz picked up 1.0 WAR with this one. I don’t care if that’s not how WAR works. Whatever number he has at the end of the year, I’m tacking one on.
I’m glad that Madison Bumgarner is on the Giants.
And I’m going to rummage around my medicine cabinet and see if there’s anything in there for these palpitations. After getting swept in Colorado, a two-game sweep against the Dodgers were the only way to feel better. Odd, I feel ... older and more worn. That’s really, really odd.

Also does not help when all that attend your games are suits or people more interested in the wave and beach balls than the actual game. Probably hurts a bit to that its empty until the 3rd inning and then its empty again after the 6th.

This is why Nate stays no matter what.
If the decision comes down to get rid of an outfielder, he does one thing exceptionally well. Play defense. He may not be a better player overall than Rowand, but for this team, he does something that the team needs.
Now that the Giants are Champs (and I have proof!) what do I have to bitch about....oh yeah, I also root for the Browns!

No problem.
I, at least, have never been convinced that—as yet—numbers well capture defense.
And yes, it was obvious from the last game of the WS that one of the problems this year was going to be the Rowand vs Schierholtz one. It was, it is, and it looks like it will be for a while. The choice and what to do are blindingly obvious, which means nothing to either head of The Bochean Monster.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Cody ross agreed and played way to deep with 2 outs and jogged lazily after a easy out and decided he wanted some torture.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
I thought I’d at least get a chuckle, I mean even Stienfeld repeats or the Cleveland Show can do that. Maybe it’s so deep I need to give it more time, but I’d love someone to skool me.
Giants 2010 in review: One Jerry Garcia bobblehead, one world championship. Questions?
I don’t know that it’s “deep”, but like I said, a lot of the charm comes from becoming attached to the characters over time.

I really didn’t enjoy last week’s episode. It felt like they were trying too hard to be themselves. The back and forth between Ann and Leslie was awkward. Usually the show delivers though.

He would not have dove if he did not have a good shot at it, 1 run would have scored. He would have cannoned the guy out at 2nd if he tried to score on that.

Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
If you want an interesting and diverse view . . .
. . . look up R. A. Lafferty’s book The Fall of Rome, also published under the catchier title Alaric: the Day the World Ended. Lafferty was a fantasy/sf writer of a most unusual nature, and the book reads like a fantasy novel, except it’s the real history. A correspondingly unusual and readable recounting.

The entire Lafferty oeuvre . . .
. . . is for sale, meaning the rights to it all, everything. Current bid is $70,000, there’s still time. Really. Not a joke.

Some notes from the game
There weren’t a lot of people there but there was a pretty good Giants showing. We got a pretty loud “Let’s Go Giants!” chant going for a while.
MadBum was fantastic, I was worried about him coming into the 9th. I questioned the move because he was over 100 pitches and was extremely pissed Bochy waited for the double to bring Wilson in.
On nights like this, Wilson is just horrible to watch live. I thought it was bad watching at home but this was so much worse, I was torture.
FUCK YEAH JUGGERNATE. What an amazing catch. It was really a beautiful thing to behold watching all of those Dodger fans to get excited only to crush them with one amazing catch, I got high fives from all the Giants fans there it was great.

The hedging begins
Based on your study of the Bible, you have determined that May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day–that God will completely destroy the Earth. What do you predict will happen as clocks turn to 6 pm?
We cannot say emphatically that it’s 6 pm. There’s a lot of information that looks at the probability of 6 pm in any city in the world–when that great earthquake will occur. It could be that it might be just one great earthquake, but there is enough evidence in the Bible that says it will begin at one point in the world, and it could be at 6 pm—that’s a great possibility. Then as it gets to be May 21 in any other country—there will be a great earthquake there.
But we know absolutely, without any shadow of a doubt, that May 21 will be the day.

We’ve had our share of idiots here (I’m thinking of the thread on the Willie May quote “Can he hit?”) and I didn’t see the original, non-abridged thread with bigoted comments intact, but I will say my opinion of TC went way up based on the overwhelming response that 1.) you’re awesome and 2.) those kinda of views are sad an outdated. I was also impressed with their sense of humor (the “Buster WAS out” comment in particular was well played).
I’m sorry you experienced that but I’m heartened by the overall level of support you received and that the mods over there did the right thing and deleted whatever the stupid comments were. I feel a certain conflict of interest in saying this, because I like the idea of you spending all your internet posting time over here, but I hope you do go back to being a regular over there, since it seems like a lot of them will miss you (as they should).

The people who got it, got it. The regulars and the mods know I’m not there to make hay.
But ever since the McDowell thing, there’s been a noticeable undercurrent of homophobia originating from a few distinct users. Those same few have been incredibly vocal in that attitude whenever something even vaguely resembling the subject came up. So it’s been a little difficult for me to talk about things without being hit in the face with specious arguments and baseless accusations.
But those folks are in a very small minority. By and large, TC people are good people. We get along very well.

Most big league starters are good up to about 100. Only the good or great ones have much control or movement left to get big league outs after 100. Timmy is good for 120+, Randy Johnson in his hayday was known for 140 pitch CG outings, throwing 99 mph the last few batters of a specific game I remember.

It’s not a mystical power. It’s a rule of thumb. A general tenet.
Some guys start losing it around 90, some are reliable through 115.
If you’re not sure how many you can get out of your starter on a given night, 100 is a useful mark,
Especially in close games where one pitch too many can tip the game against you.

Interesting
One might say that the Giants bought this victory cheaply — specifically, for the cost of a taxi ride from the team hotel in Pasadena to Dodger Stadium. On Wednesday, Bumgarner shared a cab to the ballpark with Bochy, prompting a chat about the former’s sudden lapses. Already this season, Bumgarner has allowed at least three runs in an inning five times.
“He felt like he got in a pattern,” Bochy said. “He got away from using both sides of the plate.”
Moving the ball around tends to help a pitcher coax harmlessly batted balls. Bumgarner struck out only three but never faced more than four hitters in any of his eight complete innings. He enabled Giants fielders to make a succession of relatively easy plays.

I don't think you should devalue Bochy's performance last postseason based on the mistakes in the past three games.
Bochy is a players’ manager and he clearly values certain things (Lincecum’s peace of mind, Bumgarner’s confidence) above making the right baseball move in certain, early-regular-season situations. Leaving Lincecum in too long was an obvious mistake in Colorado. Last night it was less obvious what to do, as you say. But Bochy managed very differently in the postseason (short leashes for everyone, didn’t fall for Rowand’s flash in the pan in the Atl series, etc.). Yes, the outcomes didn’t allow for second guessing, but I think if we’re intellectually honest about it, there is very little any of us would have changed about the way he managed. He made pure baseball decisions. And as a guy who has watched a lot of Bobby Cox and Dusty Baker games, I appreciated the hell out of it.

Kruk
Anyone hear Kruk on KNBR this morning? It was a pretty routine discussion of last night’s game until Murph brought up the small, much more mellow Chavez Ravine crowd being drowned out by the boisterous Giants fans there. Suddenly Kruk just went off on the Dodgers for having let things get out of control until the Stow beating necessitated an increased police presence. He said there were more cop cars after the game this series than there had been for Dodgers playoff games. He talked about how it pissed him off that the organization had let things deteriorate in the park and that it took a tragedy for Giants fans to feel ‘safe’ there. Interesting stuff.

The violence that has happened at AT&T Park does not approach the scale or frrequency of that at Chavez Ravine. There’s stupid people being stupid, and then there’s negligence that facilitates this kind of violence for creating an unsafe environment for fans.

I am pretty sure both have happened somewhere around the park. We live in a city, and those things happen. What reasonably enrages folks is not that it happened, but that there seems to have been no security whatever after the game. When I have passed by Mays Field after games, there has always been lots of crowd control and plenty of security or at least folks with walkie talkies.
Tragic fact: Dodgers did not have a head of security between December 2010 and April 2011 and turned over security duties over a guy with nearly 15 years of experience “in commercial real estate”

There have been incidences of violence – I don’t know what incident you are specifically referring to – but again, there is a crucial difference than incidences of violence and an environment that all but encourages it. It’s all but impossible to stop all of these incidents, but strong disincentives like adequate security in and outside the park and adequate light in all areas around the ballpark are critically important in this kind of environment.
Just because violence has happened in both places do not make them equivalent. See calbearjd’s comment above: the Dodgers organization will at least be facing a lawsuit, if not charges of criminal negligence.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.

And I still say the layout of that parking lot leaves too many areas for a normal security patrol to cover. Things are going to be missed unless you have that place swarming with security.
Wise words by wcw: "Nobody cares about your Pokemon."
"There’s a new celebrity inside the organization, and it’s a three-foot inanimate object," - Larry Baer, my adopted son.
You can’t necessarily stop all crime, and while that should obviously be the aim you will always have have certain people whose drive to commit a particular violent crime overwhelms everything else. What is important, though, is that you put strong negative disincentives in place, not just the laws themselves but by creating an environment in which people feel they can get away without being caught. Better lighting, squad or security guards patrolling, security posted at the exits and around the park to monitor and handle altercations that can be identified and diffused early… These are things that can and should be done and are are not an excessive strain on resources. These sorts of negative incentives will of course never stop all crime, but they help to prevent crimes from being committed by giving the impression that there will be strong consequences if such crimes are committed.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.

These are things that can and should be done and are are not an excessive strain on resources.
I doubt McCourt would agree with you on this. Especially since this has been an issue well before his time as the owner.
Wise words by wcw: "Nobody cares about your Pokemon."
"There’s a new celebrity inside the organization, and it’s a three-foot inanimate object," - Larry Baer, my adopted son.
The causality isn’t particularly clear there. One could argue that the inherent infrastructural problems with fan safety (lighting, parking lot layout, etc.) is just a testiment to the fact that not attention has been paid since the park’s construction, and an attitude of “someone else’s problem” has led to the required overhead to bring it into the 21st century infeasible.
If it’s difficult to enforce, I can live with that if accountability is acknowledged. But to act like the conditions had nothing to do with the crime is ridiculous. I’m pretty sure a team that had a payroll tipping $100 million could afford to install a few extra lamps in the damn parking lot.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
The cost of extra security guard would hit the Dodgers more than anything. The lamps may help a little, but violence at sporting events happens in the middle of the day.
I do agree the Dodger organization needs to step up their security and they have for years. But incidents like this will continue to happen no matter how much money you spend on the issue.
Wise words by wcw: "Nobody cares about your Pokemon."
"There’s a new celebrity inside the organization, and it’s a three-foot inanimate object," - Larry Baer, my adopted son.
Right. My main point is, the fact that there will be some level of crime either way is not a good reason not to invest in crime prevention. Due diligence must be done, and it doesn’t appear to have been in this particular instance. I don’t think you disagree with me on that point.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
When walking back to your car it was empty of any security, they were doing traffic duty but no one was watching out for anything. The lighting is really shitty in the parking you’d get long stretches of walking in the complete darkness for a while. There wasn’t security especially in the farther areas of the parking lot, a family at the school I worked with had their car stolen from in the parking lot during the game I think it was a year or two ago.

by posey yaknowsy on May 20, 2011 9:53 AM PDT up reply actions
Yes, there is. You may not short it right now. Once that restriction is lifted in a month, you very well may find out that you can not short it if no inventory is available, or that you can only short it by paying a very high rate to borrow the shares. Once they list options and futures on the stock, you will be able to sell synthetic or actual futures. Synthetic futures have their own set of drawbacks, primarily related to margin. Real single-stock futures will be the way to go, assuming they are trading adequately.
I gently recommend that nobody who has to ask whether they can short an IPO break his short-sale cherry with a frenzied high flyer in its first few months of trading.
Thanks for the info

Two completely unrelated comments
1. Can’t understand second guessing Bochy on leaving Bum in. He had a low pitch count, had retired sometihing like 15 out of 16 and appeared to be strong. He retired the first two hitters easily and then Barajas (do the Giants ever get him out?) dumps a pop up that I’m pretty sure Ross briefly misjudged. Leaving him in to face Sands was an easy call. The problem wasn’t Bochy. It was Wilson.
2. Speaking of the Rapture, there is a very interesting movie with that title starring Mimi Rogers. I highly recommend it. Very intersting and you see a lot of Mimi, which is a good thing in and of itself.

He was at 106 pitches entering the 9th. He was slotted in as the fifth starter this season so that the Giants could limit his innings. Why on earth do you want him pitching in the ninth?

I don’t understand it either, and it’s not like the Dodgers weren’t putting it in play. Tons of fly balls and hard hit line drives. 2 walks and 3 strikeouts isn’t exactly domination.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Yup. I was going to make a comment about Kemp’s flyout in the 9th, but Gameday has it classified as a flyout and I can’t remember if it was well-struck or not.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
The 8th ended with the line drive up the middle that Bumgarner snagged. I had seen enough at that point, and doubly so after he apparently hung a breaking ball to Uribe that got swung through.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I remember Jon and Dave commenting about how it was his easiest inning since it was one of his only 1-2-3 innings, and I was thinking “that ball sounded like it was ticketed for CF.” I’m just glad that it didn’t take off his head.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
It was a pretty easy play by virtue of the fact that it was hit about belly button high on his glove hand side as he came off the mound, so he just threw his arm out and the ball went right in. Great reaction play, and all. But a results-oriented approach should not overwhelm the details when making these kinds of decisions.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Bochy’s been faced with pretty much the same situation four nights in a row now. And he still hasn’t figured out the pattern. It’s mind-numbing.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
He was going to start Vogelsong in the 7th at Wrigley, too.
Vogelsong was over 100 pitches at that point.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I’d forgotten about that. One of the reasons I was screaming at the TV for the rain to actually get the game called. So five games in a row.
I guess we should be thankful that the starters are pitching well enough to get to the point where they’re hitting 100 pitches, but there’s definitely such a thing as pushing one’s luck.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
We crossed that line two or three days ago.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
It’s driving me crazy. I generally try to avoid “He’s stupid” as an answer for any behavior on anyone’s point, even when it does seem to be the simplest explanation. But this is really pushing it.
Is it possible that he’s stretching them, trying to determine how far they can be pushed? Would that explain the decision to leave them in and the absence of a quick hook in late innings? This doesn’t seem all that plausible, but boy do I ever love thinking aloud.
My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
Leaving the starters in and being willing to give them a shot at CGs and winz is a way of rewarding pitchers for a well pitched game. They want to finish games, typically, and don’t look forward to being pulled – even if it’s just for bragging rights amongst the staff. In fact, getting a staff that talented to compete amongst themselves for the privilege of CGs probably functions as a good motivator and builder of camaraderie amongst the starters.
Also, the body adapts to the work load demanded of it and what the mind expects, so it may be that he sees limited pitch count managing as tantamount to training your pitchers to only go 6 innings.

How is 106 pitches a low pitch count for a player whose workload is supposed to be monitored?

Also, this sounds exactly like the argument about leaving Sanchez in two days ago. “Things were perfectly fine until they weren’t!” Sometimes it’s good to quit while you’re ahead, rather than trying to squeeze every last out from you starter.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I just don't get if it's a lack of trust in the bullpen, or Bochy really wanting these guys to pitch until they screw up.

Question
The radar gun every time I looked at the game showed Bum throwing at about 88-91 the whole night with his breaking pitches at 82. Was he really throwing at that speed or did I miss something because it made me a little worried considering he was at 94-95 last outing.

Yeah, see? I didn’t mind the beard at first. I thought it looked pretty good when he went on Jim Rome. But then…well, you know the rest.

Sad About Macho Man...
Made me think of my sister in law’s boyfriend who is so awkward to watch TV with because he way to opinionated and has to make a “matter of fact” comment about every single thing. WWFE was on the TV and we all had to listen to him rant about how people are dumb for finding this remotely entertaining and believing its REAL. Wow! He must have missed the whole “GET IT?” era.

Attention Disneyphiles
The World of Color programmers cooked up a new Pirates segment for the upcoming Halloween show, and felt it worked better than the original version from last summer. Some schmoozing between TDA and Studios execs two weeks ago at the movie premiere party about furthering the great Anaheim-Burbank relationship led to an offer to slot most of the new Pirates segment in as a summertime encore to promote the film further. This new Pirates encore and a freshly tweaked World of Color show debut tonight and should run through the summer season.

World of Color is a fountain show at Disney California Adventure.
It’s pretty amazing.

Sad thing is, I completely understood what you meant, I was born in 1985. I ain’t never been to Disneyland, so that meaning was lost on me.

Assface went to the DL. Dom Brown was called up. I only mention this b/c Dom Brown hit one of the longest HR’s I ever seen of the Giants in Philly last year.
