Post-game thread: KKKKKKKKKKKKHRKKKK2BKKKKKKKHR!

Over the past week or so, you might have noticed that I've been developing a little blog-crush on Brandon Crawford. I love the way he plays defense. I love his eye. He has something you can't teach: that split-second of recognition after the pitcher releases the ball. It allows him to take more tough pitches than any rookie has a right to. His biggest problem is that when he moves the bat around in a circular fashion trying to strike a thrown ball -- to "hit" it, if you will -- he often grounds out to a middle infielder.
No reason to panic. It might take a year or two or three, but I'm happy with just about every other aspect of Crawford's game.
I remember watching Nate Schierholtz in an at-bat early this year, and thinking that it was possible that I had never been impressed with a single at-bat he had taken in his entire career. Not a one. He'd had hits before -- extra-base hits and everything -- but at that moment, I was pretty sure that all of Schierholtz's hits came on the first pitch of each at-bat. If he got a hit, it was because he went up looking for a fastball, got one, hit the baseball, and thought about how easy baseball was, which was the only time Schierholtz ever thought about hitting. It was the hyperbole of a frustrated fan.
Schierholtz has always been a fine fielder, and his arm is extraordinary, maybe the best I've seen from a Giant in my adult life. But on a scale of 1-to-10, with one representing "no confidence that Nate Schierholtz can ever hit enough to start", and ten representing "fully confident that Nate Schierholtz can hit enough to start," I would have gone with a -1. The guy swung at two balls that hit him in one season. That's traumatic.
He was supposed to have power. A little bit, at least, if you believed in his minor-league numbers at all. Never saw it. He was supposed to hit for average. Other than his small sample, fluky BABIP performances in his first two seasons, he looked every part of a .260 hitter.
Every time I think I'm out, he pulls me back in ...
I wanted him to start for his defense, and anything he provided with the bat would be gravy. Right now, I'm dipping an apple fritter in the gravy. And it's so damned good. It tastes like butter and chocolate and virtue and triumph and chocolate.
Nate Nate Nate Nate. Here's hoping that with regular at-bats comes a functional approach and a complete ballplayer. I believe again. Maybe for the first time. Don't make me dig through Baseball Reference to find guys who magically became contributors when they were 27 ..
Also of note: It's easy to take the bullpen for granted, ignoring their effortless success just because we're so used to it, but isn't it awesome that Pablo Sandoval is healthy? It's a welcome feeling to see him come to the plate against anyone -- Mariano Rivera, Justin Verlander, Spence Josherson -- and that's something that was missing last season.
On a team filled with likeable players that you want to root for, Pablo might be the most likeable. If there was any heartbreak last postseason, which there wasn't, it was the sad, forgotten Panda languishing on the bench in favor of Edgar Renteria, who was obviously finished. Pablo against Mike Adams? There was a why not? feeling instead of a just-get-it-over-with feeling. I liked that. Hello, old friend. Take a load off.
Least Padres/Giants game ever, if only because it tricked you into thinking it was going to be the most Padres/Giants game ever. I liked that too.

Dustin Moseley is pure dookie. Slipper slop sloppy slop. Floppin’ the sloppily flop curve after dookin’ a slooper super slider. Settin’ hitters up with the slop so they don’t except the slop with the next pitch. So sloppy. So, of course, he’s the best pitcher in the world against the Giants. This whole team is Pedro Cerrano, but without the ultra-cerebral approach. Just keep expecting the straight fastball over the heart of the plate, Giants. Keep looking for it. He has it in his repetoire. Keeeeep looking for it.

I’m with you guys on them. Crawford’s plate approach has looked pretty good all year for a weak-stick rookie making a big jump, and I still hold a lot of hope for him offensively.

Yes but
Average of RF who have at least 200 PAs this season (Nate has 224): .271/.347/.445 — but the average is somewhat skewed by Bautista’s .335/.468/.687 line.
So Nate is getting close. He’s 20th in OPS out of the 34 RF who have reached the 200 PA threshold. Given his solid defense, he may well be an average player overall right now. Which is all I ever really wanted from him.
Something weird has been going on in the outfield lately — right fielders (who are presumably playing a more demanding position) are hitting better than left fielders, and the gap seems to be widening. This year, even center fielders are outhitting left fielders.
The upshot is that when you compare Schierholtz to his actual peers/competitors — all starting outfielders — it becomes clear that he’s right around the mean or median strictly as a hitter. Add defense to the mix and he’s well above.
I love his defense, so I’ve always hoped his bat would come around.

You can't knock Crawford about the habitual grounders
because they’re in the Giants’ “Welcome to our organization!” manual. He doesn’t feel like he fits in until he gets that GIDP. As you may have noticed, he’s in EXCELLENT (and crowded) company this year. He’s a rookie and hasn’t learned how to rebel yet. Give him a little more time around Nate and he’ll be fine.

Well you know
Maybe Nate magically figures it out, and Crawford is passable. Torres starts hitting again. Fontenot comes back. Huff sits and Belt plays. I’ll start looking forward to the lineup.
Also, this paragraph structure was terrible.
That is cray-z.
Nate Crawford and Huff
couple things: First, he has never had the opportunity to get extended playing time before now. By that I mean playing damn near every day for an extended time. Second, he’s had some nagging injuries that have hurt him. Last year he was hitting (at least for average) when he hurt his shoulder diving. He couldn’t drive the ball the rest of theyear. Third, they opened his stance up a bit and he seems less prone to swing at those back foot sliders out of the zone.
Crawford: Right now in key situations there are three people I want up: Pablo, Nate and yes, Crawford. Brandon at least grinds those ab’s. The guy does not seem overwhelmed. I think he has a chance to be a solid major league hitter.
He has a chance — an outside chance — at being a slightly below-average hitter. With his defense, that makes a very valuable package. His minor league record, however, suggests that he still needs to get better to reach below average.
by wcw on Jul 7, 2011 8:10 AM PDT up reply actions
I feel like his approach at the plate lends itself to getting better with experience, especially at the ML level where over time a player gets a chance to gain familiarity with the competition. I think he may one day achieve averageness!

He did got from an 80-wRC+ bat in his first crack at the Eastern League to an even-average 100 on repeating the next year, so I have hopes he can have one last jump in skills. But if not, an average Eastern League hitter is pretty awful in the majors.

That’s what gives me the most hope about Crawford; he seems to go up there with a plan and has a solid approach.

But then he became consistent enough that I began to expect great things from him and more often than not I have not been disappointed.

Aaron Rowand is a terrible baseball player.
And I am saying this knowing full well that he is an above-average defender. But his offense — specifically, his approach — is so terrible, that he’s basically useless.
I really don’t want Rowand on this team, but he does have some use, just not on this team. As a platoon outfielder he’s just fine. But we have 4 other outfielders who are better and they should all be playing nearly every day. Ross Torres Nate and Belt every day. A Huff/Burrell platoon as the 4th OF, backup 1B, and L/R PH. That leaves nothing for Rowand, so he’s pretty much useless… on this team.

I have just been very pleased with what he’s done offensively for this team.

The vitriol directed towards him recently here has been so over the top and baseless.

I do wish he'd shorten his stroke at times
His ab was putrid. There are times when shortening up with two strikes makes sense. Ross never does it.
That was a terrible AB
He didn’t look as though he was mentally ready to hit to me. That said, Cody Ross is not the problem.
I believe I’ve read someone on this site put forth the idea that Nate should have always been a CF in MLB, where he is adequate range-wise, has a ++ arm for a CF, and his bat plays better than in a corner spot.

owlcroft’s mentioned that. He could definitely play center field; right field is so large in this park that it takes a center fielder to play it well.
"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 is correct. This park rewards teams with two center fielders.

He could increase some value so the Giants could trade him instead of the DFA it was looking like he might get at points.

If he’s a genuine .260/.330/.440 hitter, he’s a three-win player easy, maybe four. Remember, league average for corner outfielders is a lot lower than it used to be — currently .262/.330/.417.
good call - I was still stuck in older offense mode
The metrics don’t love his defense, but yeah, I could see how he’s a 3 WIN player. That’s a guy who is worth keeping around.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
i was just looking at his defense at fangraphs
and was shocked they don’t have a metric for LZR
...Dr. Vader will see you now.
I think he’s better than the metrics indicate, but his numbers are still pretty good. Check out the aggregate ratings at the bottom of his fangraphs page — this averages out Total Zone, UZR, DRS, and Fan Scouting. For 2007-10, he comes in at a total of +13, in 1500 innings. That’s around +10/season.
huh
for some reason, thought UZR hated him this year or thought he was mediocre. His arm is definitely a big benefit.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
That’s why I try to look at what a guy did with UZR in comparison to his career in a certain year when looking at WAR scores, since no matter how many times the writers of Fangraphs will act like UZR states what happens/happened, the write up they have on their site clearly states that it doesn’t.

I don’t think going 3-for-6 washes away all concern about him
Nate Schierholtz wasn't born, he was built.
He was having a slump. He may not be done slumping, but I tend to weigh my optimism more greatly when a good player has good games than I do my concern when that same player slumps (because slumps happen – even bad ones – and often for no reason that warrants concern).
I’m not sure that made a load of sense.

When Nate hit the first homer
It was a 2-0 count and and saw this sly ass smile go over his face.
3-0,
3-1 took strike one.
3-1 and it as freaking gone.
Oh yea, Pablo’s double was a freaking shot too, I thought he had all of that, especially when he walked out of the box.
Time to repeat in '11!
Pablo's double was unreal
How the hell did he hit that pitch that hard. It was about ankle high and inside. Man is he strong.

Game for the ages
Lots to like about tonight’s game, and probably why I’ll think about it a few more times this year.
But I have to add that I’m so relieved the Giants prevailed, after the Padres kept saving the game defensively. I mean, how the Hell did Venable hold Nate to a double on that ball in the gap? That was the ballgame, because Rowand’s deep fly would have ended it.
Following the previous two games, it would have sucked so much to lose this one in extras.

I am in the vast minority here, but I liked Miami Vice. Michael Mann always does good movies, the cinematography was amazing, the script was decent. Collin Farrell and the Colombian-Asian woman were horrible actors, but otherwise I thought it was decent. But then again I never saw the original Miami Vice, so I wasn’t going in with any other preconceptions.

Nate, Pablo, and Torres were great, but this is my favorite part:
Also of note: It’s easy to take the bullpen for granted, ignoring their effortless success just because we’re so used to it, but isn’t it awesome that Pablo Sandoval is healthy?
Dude. The ‘pen was incredible tonight. So reassuring to see after the last weeks meltdowns. I was at the game with a bunch of workmates who aren’t particularly Giants fans, and they were amazed by the bullpen. Wilson was good!Wilson again, but Romo and Lopez just shut the Padres down and held them hitless for four innings until the offense got their shit together it was amazing.
This win is owed to the deep bullpen
It’s great knowing the team has enough quality arms that they can keep throwing up zeros until the offense does something
The thong is, it happened.
outside of witnessing Bonds hitting 71 and 72 as a teenager
that was the best game I’ve seen in years. Great, great game. Pablo’s double in the 8th lit the park up like I haven’t seen in years, to say nothing of his sweet diving stop in the 9th. as for Nate? shit, I don’t have all night here.

That double
I mean I watched it half a dozen times. Its definitively a ball, close to hitting the dirt, 94 mph, and he turned on it immediately, so fucking quick. His Hand-Eye coordination is superb. Bonds, Vlad and Sheffield are the only ones I can remember watching with similar hand eye quickness.

nothing magical about nate
this is the first year in the bigs that he has had a significant amount of at bats, and has been healthy…the more pitches you see, the better you will do
he has also adjusted his stance and has become much better in adjusting his at bats depending on the count
as for crawford….im happy to see him quickly mature at the plate…but i dont care…his defense is the best for a giants ss farm hand in i dont know how long
why are the friars so far undr 500?
team speed, play great small ball….great pen….good sp (now that latos is gone)
they should easily be at 500
because small ball isn't actually a winning baseball strategy

Via Fangraphs
Javier Lopez
The same Lopez that appeared in 61 games for the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox team found himself out of a job before 2010 and resurfaced as a low-leverage pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was traded to the San Francisco Giants where he collected a second World Series ring. Lopez was fantastic with the Giants, earning him an invite back this season with an increased role. After an 0.79 pLI last year, Lopez’s pLI has jumped to 1.85 this season. His results remain largely the same (3.36 FIP in 2010, 3.39 FIP in 2011) although his xFIP is a bit higher since he has yet to allow a home run. Lopez is a true loogy, but Bruce Bochy has nearly split his usage in half a.k.a. playing with fire. That said, if Lopez is used correctly, he should be shutdown late-inning weapon from the left side.

I think I found all the characters (except the cop) to be incredibly unsympathetic and incompetent. Most of the time I can deal with these sorts of comedies, but this one seemed to rub me the wrong way. Maybe it was because instead of running with the idea that the characters are unsympathetic, at the end of the movie they try to make you sympathize with them.

If we were talking about going forward, yeah
You can count on a patient approach to be more consistent and get you on base more than you can count on BABIP, but looking back on what he’s done? Hits are worth more than walks, plain and simple. If he has a .333 OBP he has been worth more offensively with his average around .300 than he would have been if his average were .230. You might be able to drool over his walks and batting eye then, but that doesn’t make him more valuable.

Let the tire kicking begin!
The Mets are beginning to accept calls on Carlos Beltran, according to Kevin Kernan of the New York Post and "people are calling" about the outfielder.
Beltran, who has said he’ll waive his no-trade clause in the right deal to a contender, met with agent Scott Boras to discuss trade possibilities. Few teams, if any, could afford Beltran’s $18.5MM salary, since he’ll still be owed $6MM or so at the end of July. He currently projects as a Type A free agent, but the Mets cannot offer him arbitration after the season.
The Yankees aren’t interested in Beltran, though the Red Sox are a possible fit given the low level of offensive production Boston has received from its right fielders this year. Mets GM Sandy Alderson says "it’s still a little bit early" to make deals, since the Mets are "relevant" in the race for playoff berths.

and as such Boras would never allow Beltran to come here, where his offensive stats
would suffer. It’s all about the NEXT contract for Beltran. I’d look for him to go somewhere with a “livelier” yard and an offense that score more than 2.7 runs per game.
come to think of it though, a team would be foolish to offer arbitration anyways, he would prolly get ALOT?
ALOT, you say?
I would think he gets at least two
1 alot or 2 alots
Either way, it’s still a really weird thing to settle on in arbitration.

Eli's season numbers aren't really that awful (in the context of this season)
.212/.301/.354 is good for an 84 OPS+ this year
That’s depressing

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
And then if you calibrated it to the team instead of the league it would probably be like 102 OPS+

How much of that OBP can be attributed to hitting 8th?
Still Stewart is terrible too.
Wilber Bucardo: Missing?
I dunno
Even so, it’s better than Stewart

Totally. But Stewart’s big upside was supposed to be his ability to gun down basestealers. His two errant throws into centerfield were costly last night.

I'm more worried about our whole team deflating...
With the way this division looks, the Seattle Seahawks can come in and win the division.

They give each other awards and misinform people. That’w what the press is for.
Get well soon, Buster, Freddy, Frodo and Belt.
They just got exposed for hacking into peoples’ cell phones/voice mails in order to get information for stories. There was one case where a 13 year old girl was kidnapped and murdered I read about. They hacked into her cell phone voice mail and listened to all of the sad messages her family was leaving her.
Then the inbox filled up so they deleted the messages, making the family think that she must still be alive if she deleted the inbox.
She wasn’t.

Olbermann is the type of person who pisses me off more than any other. He can be so blind to reality and truth and everything good in the world, and in the end, it doesn’t matter.
