Post-game thread: Madison Bumgarner fails to earn quality start
by Grant Brisbee on Jun 21, 2011 10:17 PM PDT
Email
PrintIf you’re going to lose, make it historic. That was only the third time in history that a pitcher threw 25 pitches or fewer while giving up eight earned runs. But Bumgarner was the only one to give them all up on his own -- the other two had relievers allow inherited runs. So special.
What follows is a batter-by-batter account of the top of the first. You should probably just go to sleep.
Well, at least his velocity is up. And here's the thing about fluke games like this: everything had to go just wrong. If the first pitch is called a strike, which it should have been, maybe he tries to bounce an 0-2 pitch instead of get the 1-2 advantage with a fastball that caught too much plate. That isn't to say that what follows is the umpire's fault -- just noting that everything that could go wrong, did.
Oh, and Miguel Tejada couldn't field a ball that was hit a foot from his glove hand. That doesn't help.
Oh, come on. Alexi Casilla hasn't dug a slider out from his hands since he was 18. There were a lot of poorly executed pitches out of the 25 thrown by Bumgarner. This wasn't one of them. I love how the Twins were trying to give up an out here, too. If Casilla isn't such a crappy bunter, maybe this inning goes differently.
Nice curve at the bottom of the zone. Infield hit.
It sure looked like the pitch was fatter than what Gameday showed. If the location was accurate, I'm not sure sure if you can make a better pitch on 0-2. Catch him looking at two fastballs in the zone, then bust him on the hands with a fastball off the plate. Sixty percent of the time, this same sequence results in an out every time. But I'm not sure if the pitch was off the plate.
Oh, and Pablo Sandoval's defense has been good this year, but he wasn't especially impressive on that play. It was a fall-down effort.
Bumgarner didn't open any of the other four at-bats with a slider. So was Delmon Young a) sitting on a slider because of the he-can't-call-scissors-five-times-in-a-row theory, b) sitting fastball, reacting breaking ball, or c) sitting slider because Bumgarner was tipping his pitches? A get-it-in slider isn't a bad idea if hitters are sitting on fastballs. But, hey, Delmon Young is just this good.
As far as 93-MPH fastballs go, it wasn't the worst one he's ever thrown. It wasn't right down the middle. Pretty much, though. And if a hitter is expecting a fastball ...
And with the seventh batter of the game, with four runs already in, the first truly awful pitch of the night is thrown. A lazy slider, belt high. That's the first pitch that deserved to be ripped into oblivion.
I'd checked out by this point, so I don't blame Bumgarner for doing the same.
Okay. Whatever. At this point, you have to expect the sliders on the fringes of the strike zone are going to get blooped right down the line.
Couldn't tell you if Bumgarner was tipping his pitches. I'm a hack writer, not a scout. But if he wasn't tipping his pitchers, he had a string of historically awful luck. Terrible pitchers don't give up nine hits out of ten batters -- it's just not done.
In conclusion, the Giants were completely shut down by Carl Pavano, and that pisses me off more than anything Bumgarner will do for the rest of his Giants career.
Also, I'm not worried about Bumgarner. A start with 88-mph fastballs and six walks that leads to eight runs? That's worry time. Twenty-two strikes out of 25 pitches, great velocity, and a bunch of hits on decent-to-iffy pitches? Just appreciate this one. This one's like watching a pitcher throw a no-hitter the same day he hits for the cycle, only completely opposite.

Pretty awful game, but it's not the end of the world.
It sounds like it’s not going to jeopardize Bumgarner’s spot in the rotation, so the biggest damage it could have caused seemed like it won’t be a factor.

Meh, shitty game
but it was a freak occurrance for MadBum. Hoping for the bounceback tomorrow that I won’t get to watch.
This was the first Giants game in like a week I was able to watch.

This will never happen again for him. But how does a chicken pounding its head on a piano have anything to do with this?

I’m sure this won’t happen to Bumgarner again, but I’m still frustrated about what happened.

Did you expect something else Grant? Of course the Giants couldn’t score on Pavano. They couldn’t score off of two scrub A’s pitchers this weekend. I’m more shocked they scored two runs at all off of Pavano.
Yeah, this is as expected as Miguel Tejada being completely useless.
I just thought Pavano would have an uncharacteristic number of strikeouts.

Pavano has pitched well over his last four starts. And these Giants hitters suck right now.

I consider that to be the worst game in the history of the 49ers franchise. That game ensured that Steve Mariucci would be resigned as head coach when Holmgren was right there for the taking. I hated Mooch sooo much back then, and we won that game in spite of him. Great moment for football; setback for the organization that could have been soo much better if it hadn’t happened.
It takes me back to how amazing it was to watch the game in which Hearst broke his leg on the first series against the Falcons. The Niners had the ball with 9 minutes left, down by 10. Mooch orchastrated a 6+ minute drive in which they HUDDLED EACH F’ING PLAY and then scored, giving the Falcons the ball back with virtually 2 minutes to play. The Falcons wore out the clock and the Niners timeouts and we got the ball back with 30 seconds left, no time outs, deep in our own territory. Ballgame. Brilliant.
I remember wanting to throw my shoe through the TV wacthing them huddle up when everyone knew we needed the time they were wasting. Yup we got MOOCHED. This decade could have been sooo much better with Holmgren
lame game but at least romo got some work

while I checked out after the top of the first,
look at the bright side: There’s no way Tejada plays tomorrow, or anytime soon. Unless his fuckup in the first was an error, box score shows he made another one at some point in the game. And I would venture a guess he failed to make a clean pick of a routine groundball, because that’s what he does.

I was at this game
The best part was that a bunch of people left early so I snuck into field club seats right behind home plate! It was an awesome place to wait for the ninth inning eight run walk-off rally that never came.
Got to hand it to our fan base, a lot of people stayed for the whole game.
I agree about the fans staying through most of the game and at the very least being supportive. What I hate seeing are the idiots who stand behind the Post-game Live set and cheer like TGWTWS. And I completely understand that their excitement is manufactured by the producer doing the “raise the roof” off camera. However, since losing at anything rips my soul apart and sends me spiraling into uncontrolled depression for at least a few days, probably from some trauma from my childhood that I haven’t addressed, I demand that everyone else react the same way.

Bumgarner does not need rest. I watched the first inning. He was throwing 94. He just left fatties over the plate. Out of whack in stretch.
Well tell him to stop leaving fucking Ray Ratto there.

Silver lining
Huff has been getting quietly better lately, batting .341 over the last two weeks. The power still isn’t there and the line up is a pile of suck so nobody’s really on when he gets those hits, but at least its something good for him for basically the first time this season.
The first six innings are overrated.
well at least he’s not tejadian but his refusal to walk is mystifying to me. I swear whenever he’s 3-1 or 3-2 he always goes out of his way to swing at something WAY off the plate that’s not even close.

My back hurts this morning.
Because last night I slept in my office. Some punk-ass thunderstorm decided it would be funny to cut the power to my neighborhood last night. I sez, “Hey, what’s a little night without A/C? I can do this!”
At 12:30 a.m., I gave up, threw some pillows and a sleeping bag into my truck and drove to the station. I threw some cushions from office chairs into the floor, spread out the sleeping bag and tried to get a few hours of shut-eye.
And so here I am at my desk at 7:20 a.m., having just finished a slice of bread with peanut butter on it as my continental breakfast. I guess I’ll drive back to the apartment and shower.
If I feel like it.
Damn you, Bumgarner. Can’t you see you’re hurting people thousands of miles away?

bowmore 12
Not bad, as accompaniment to a pasting.
Bowmore Islay Single Malt (12 year old). BevMo was out of our usual Glenlivet.
And it should be said the Twins fans travel well. We’re ~10 rows behind the visitors’ dugout, so get to sit near plenty of visiting fans who are often douches (the kind who move to SF and still root for the Red Sox/Cubs/Mets and tell you how fuckin great Boston/Chicago/NY is but never mention why they left).
But the Twins fans were seemingly all on vacation and digging SF, our ballpark, and the Twins performance. And they all wore Mauer shirts.

Islay, eh. Does it have the harshness of Laphroiag?
by non sequitur on Jun 22, 2011 12:23 PM PDT up reply actions
no
Bowmore is peaty but a little sweet. It’s the crowd-pleasing Islay in the bunch. I find it a little dull, but if you’re buying a (young) Glenlivet in the first place, it’s a lot more interesting.
Ardbeg is my fave from the island still, though it hasn’t quite been the same since the shutdown and restart.
Well, I am in fact a dull Glenlivet (12) drinker. Every once in a while I try something different (Aberlour 12 was my recent experiment). I’ll give Bowmore a try.
by non sequitur on Jun 22, 2011 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
splurge on the 18 when it is on sale
I always thought I hated Glenlivet, then my father bought me an 18. It was really quite nice — all the flavors suddenly work together as everything in the 12 gets a little deeper. Thumbs up.
Try Glenfarclas 12 when you see it on sale, too. Vere likeable, very tasty.
“Peaty but a little sweet” is a good description. It has a touch of honey/agave sweetness and a good amount of smoke/peat (which is my typical preference).
It was a pretty good deal at BevMo marked down to $40.00 (still nearly double the glenlivit). Still better than $10-14.00 a shot in the public house.

He was the top web gem on baseball tonight and the “Home depot doing more on defense” highlight of the night as well. Not only did bork get the impression that he played good defense in last nights game but he actually thinks he got the offense going. Him reaching on a error (called a hit LOL scorekeepers) and then scoring on a 60 hopper up the middle by burriss to make it 8-2 was just more ammunition in borks quiver to start him everyday at SS and hit him 2nd. Sure crawfords a better defender but tejada can hit he’s a team leader and a former mvp and gold glover bork bork bork.

BREAKING
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will appoint an independent MLB employee to keep an eye on the San Francisco Giants’ pitcher refrigerator. The decision, made public on Wednesday, came in response to requests from the Colorado Rockies, who claimed Giants staff should not be allowed to adjust the temperature on the device.
The pitcher refrigerator sits inside the clubhouse at AT&T Park. It is designed to chill a pitcher to an ideal operating temperature before game time. Typically, two-time NL Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum climbs into the fridge hours before his scheduled starts, allowing his body temperature to cool to 88 degrees, considered his ideal temperature for performance.
The pitcher refrigerator became the center of controversy last month, when Rockies pitcher Jorge de la Rosa told reporters the Giants enjoyed an unfair advantage because of “their fucking cold pitcher bullshit.”

Water OT: I found this interesting
SYDNEY (Reuters) – An Australian chef has received a chilly reception for charging diners for treated tap water and ditching boutique bottled water, which he termed wasteful, for an eco-friendly option.
Mark Best, chef and owner of Marque Restaurant in Sydney, turned years of environmental consciousness into action by splashing out on a $6,000 Italian-made water system that filters, chills and carbonates tap water, the first of its kind in an Australian restaurant.
He now charges A$5 (3.3 pounds) for water — but this includes unlimited refills. He previously charged A$10 for 500 ml of boutique bottled water.
But while the environmentally-friendly move has drawn praise in some quarters, many are outraged at having to pay for what they see as basic tap water, however fancied up it may be.
Though he could have buried the charge in the bill, Best said he wanted to make the charge clear and raise awareness of the need for restaurants to be socially responsible and reduce plastic waste.
He added that in the past, some customers would pay up to $40 a meal for bottled water with no complaint.
“They can drink 40 liters for A$5 if they want and suddenly it’s seen as charging for tap water!” he said
I’m kinda of guilty of this since I drink quite a lot of VitaminWater and Sobe Water but at least they’re flavored.

If that contraption he bought requires filters and what not [plus the initial expense of the thing] I can understand charging something for water.
Here we rotate among 3 Brita filter pitchers at all times [one in the fridge, one on the counter and one in the wash], I am guilty of drinking a lot of the Crystal Geyser flavored sparkling water. But then again I don’t drink any other soda, juice or milk.

hahahaha, touche sir.
remember that bus stop scene at the end where marky mark drops the kid off? well, i used to live in Philly and that scene was filmed right across the street from my old apartment building. i left for school that day and saw all of these cranes, massive lights, expensive cameras all on the street. i was honestly like “o_O what the hell is going on? ….. oh my god, it’s a movie being filmed!!!” and sure enough, there was Mark Wahlberg standing across the street. i wanted to stay and watch the filming of it, but then i saw M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong walk by. i said to myself, “well, i already know how this movie is going to end,” and left for my class. hahaha!

I really think HBO Showtime is making a mistake killing off Ned Stark Buster Posey and Khal Drogo Freddy Sanchez so soon. I know it’s based on a book but what you don’t understand is unlike a book a TV show needs to have characters the audience can identify with and root for. How will they react if they know at any time one of their favorites can just be killed off?

Tired topic but
I’ve watched a lot of baseball over the past 23 years and seen a lot of shitty hitters and teams. Still though I have never seen a team so against walking like this years giants team. Even if a pitcher refuses to throw them anything hittable they are always fishing like it’s gonna be a fat pitch. Really the only person who ever goes up there and even looks like he’s thinking about taking a walk is pat and he’s in the doghouse for not hitting enough 9 run homers.

Yeah, it’s pretty clear that the Giants view a walk as a failure of the opposing pitcher and a hit the success of the batter, meaning they actually mark it against the batters who walk.

"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!"
This
Always working the count never looking over anxious and rarely expanding the zone. Sure he pressed a little bit once he started to struggle but his strike zone discipline was truly a treat to watch even when he was the victim of a massive zone at times.

I like his eyeball for the zone
He did well with regards to not swinging at balls, but he also kind of locked up about swinging at some of the strikes.
true that
He got into a point where he was taking to many good pitches to hit and it coincided with his slump. It will be interesting to see how he does when he’s back but he better be playing everyday and hitting 2nd or I will post bad words on purple row.

These weighty issues don’t occupy the thoughts of everybody in loge tonight, though. Michelle Moore, 43, a tax preparer, and Ida Torres, 40, who works in human resources at Walmart, are here for the view.
“My therapy is Andre Ethier,” Torres says of the hunky right fielder. “He’s just so handsome.”

Aaron rowand DHing against RHP while pat rots on the bench. I guess he see’s something in rowands .130 average against RHP and .220 SLG must be that "pats not comfortable as a DH’.

Fun fact
Joe Maddon played his last season for the Santa Clara Padres. I did not know Santa Clara ever had a pro team.
On that note, the California League was a lot better before they started putting teams in nondescript exurbs in Southern California. In 1979 the southernmost team was Bakersfield; there were two teams in the South Bay, one in Salinas, one in Reno, and six in the Valley.

I wish I could pitch with any sort of speed. I have a perfectly cromulent arm (the throw from third to first is never a problem and back when I played outfield I would get the ball in to the infield pretty quickly), but I’ve never been able to get above the low 70s, which is sort of embarrassing because I hit 63 when I was 12.
"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’m pretty sure 66 when I was 13 was my peak. It sucks, because I know I’m stronger than I was then (not taller, but stronger…). But then, I was also much, much, much more limber back then.

I threw a max of 80 when I was 16, but the gun was probably hot and I had absolutely no idea where the ball would end up.

There's still some great 80s movies when viwed now
Ferris Bueller, 16 Candles, Weird Science and Blues Brothers are my favories to still watch when they’re on.
The thong is, it happened.
Never saw 16 Candles – but the other three were great at the time and remain great at any time.
