Next year with Freddy and Posey, maybe Beltran back, Pablo, Nate, maybe Kepp, and Belt, when we got to Houston, the Giants need to annihilate the Stros like 21 – 3
Right, they should just stop playing hard because their season means nothing

Huff has already turned it around.
"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!"
Since the All-Star Break he’s hitting .260/.324/.420. It’s not amazing, but it’s pretty good.
"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!"
It was like .285 before this most recent slump.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
.283/.346/.458 between July 14 and August 23.
"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!"
Huff is frustratingly ineffective and prone to swing at crap, but his last 80-90 ABs have been ok.

four games back
The Dude: Oh boy. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus.
No it doesn't
Romo was in his first game back. And I’d have pulled him against the lefty in that situation anyway.
Affeldt has been a guy that is about the same against righties as lefties. Had there been a runner at second, Bochy might have gone to Ramirez. As he is now.
Romo is considerably better against LHB than Affeldt is against RHP.
Romo career FIP against LHB: 2.81
Affeldt career FIP against RHB: 4.11
Affeldt career FIP against LHB: 4.15
Affeldt versus righties
Only thing that matters in that situation is batting average agaisnt, as a walk wouldn’t hurt much (runner on second two down). They are about the same in that situation. (Affeldt .236 versus righties Romo .237 versus lefties) I forget who the hitter was, but obviously they felt better about Affeldt against that hitter (or the right handed pinch hitter) than they did about Romo versus the lefty.I think that is based on the notion, right or wrong, that with Romo’s best pitch being the slider, lefties see it pretty well.
One day the guy may be a closer somewhere. Then we will get our answer. i just don’t know if he can handle it physically. His numbers sure indicate that he should get the chance.
Affeldt got out of that inning so I’m not sure why the argument. Romo wasn’t going two innings anyway. Under any circumstances. He’s just off the DL.
Nah
It is over. Even if the DBacks collapse in September I seriously doubt this offense has it in them to overtake them.
It was stupid to mortgage the future for this team, it always was.
You've just gotta get hot at the right time.
The Dbacks might peak early.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
What specifically do you mean by mortgage the future?
Yeah, Huff got a 2 year deal. We traded for Beltran, but it’s no where near mortgaging the future like the Pence deal was. We were gonna be stuck with Rowand and Zito anyways.
We’ll still have our pitchers, hopefully a healthy Posey, Panda, and Belt.

By speaking generally of “mortgaging” the future. I was think about blowing up the entire farm system, so if the Giants went out and got Pence or something.

Hindsight is 20-20.
Coming into this season, he was a fine backup who was only expected to start something like 25 games.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I never liked him as a backup
he hit about 220 in the minors, for God’s sake.
And who is the superior backup for Buster Posey that you would have signed?
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
Names, please.
And ones that were specifically available during the offseason.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
Nope. If you're going to be so vocal about bitching, I want to hear your superior ideas.
I’ve never turned up my nose at learning something.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
apparently that isn't true
why don’t you tell me that there was nobody available and prove it?
He’s been dogshit since the day he came onto the team.
Nobody? That's a pretty big word. It's possible, maybe even likely there was a better option.
But you’re far more incensed about this than some of us, so I thought you would have some details.
And the burden of proof never falls on the skeptic, but the believer.
You’re so insistent that there was someone better. Show me and I’ll agree with you.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
That would require research!
Or insisting that Pablo catch.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I know, it's really controversial
to say things like Eli Whiteside is not very good.
Over the past three years, I guarantee that there have been better catchers on the market.
I wouldn't have had Whiteside up to begin with
backing up Molina.
So who would I have signed three years ago to back up Molina? I don’t know, you’ve got me there. Someone that didn’t hit 220 in AA?
No
I actually asked for a better backup during the offseason. When your best hitter is the catcher, there’s too big of a drop off when he’s not playing.
Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.
More like third best.
I would have been fine upgrading on the cheap in the offseason, but without many options available, I can’t blame them for investing in 25 games a year.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.

Disagree with Kuip
2-0 you take when you are leadin off down a run and are not a big power guy.
Here is what is meant
Sometimes the batter does everything right and makes an out. Lets say you grind out a long AB, foul off a bunch of tough pitches and line out. That is a good AB. Not a successful one, but a good one. That is what they mean when they say that and the guy doens’t get a hit etc.

It takes time to learn to hit in the majors
People expecting Belt to be a savior at this point are expecting too much. I understand the why orf it d- hell we are desperate. But he’s going to struggle a bit. Thing is – he has a terrific future. And the present is not bad.
Totally agreed
The thing about racing through the minors in a year is that the opposition (especially the higher quality AA+ pitchers) haven’t had time to locate your holes and exploit them.
Moral of the story (and one I hope they’ll learn from for Brown) is that one year of tearing up the minors doesn’t a major league ready player make.
by sarf_london_niner on Aug 28, 2011 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions
You’re aware that he’s been well above average this year, right?
"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!"
He’s below average for his position over the season, and (straw-hat) it appears like he’s been slightly figured out – his seasonal figures probably don’t match up to his current level of performance against wiser pitchers.
Major league ready was the wrong term though, you are right. He’s clearly stilll above replacement level. But using him this way is a waste of his arb-clock. You really can’t tell how long stuff like this take – has Belt ever had to reevaluate his swing before? This is the sort of stuff you want to get out of the way before you come up.
Belt’s going to be a really, really good player, but he isn’t one yet.

How do you determine if one has been above or below average?

Agree he's been handled poorly.
But don’t forget the injury also played a part. Belt is not the savior people want him to be. He is a good young prospect.

Right before he got injured, Bochy seemed far more comfortable giving him playing time than later on. If he had never been hurt, who knows how differently the season would have gone, both for him and the team?

Samurai Champloo > Macross
Exactly
Now that a couple of injuries have exposed the complete lack of organizational depth at really any position (besides having three top flight starters and one journeyman having a career year), it’s getting more and more frustrating that they had such success with such seemingly minor roster adjustments.
Some beat writer needs to grow some balls and ask why Rowand instead of Ross
Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.
Better yet
How bout: “Why is Aaron Rowand on this roster?”

Would have helped if that stiff Cabrera could catch a ball.

You have a point
The Giants just don’t seem to have those type at bats very often. Particularly in key situations. It’s usually a first pitch out. And then there is the Rowand three hack and sit.
That spot in the order struck out 5 times. All together I think they swund and missed about 11 times. There are teams that don’t do that in a game.
Lessons learned from this series
Aaron Rowand is even more fucking useless than Mark DerRosa.
Glad to have the World Series win, but still waiting on my Kim Batiste bobblehead. GET OFF YOUR HANDS, GIANTS BRASS!!!!
Adopted Giant: Dave Dravecky, starting pitcher of the greatest regular-season game I've ever attended.
DeRosa is grittier in a less useless way.
He has the fire that this team doesn’t have.

Shawn Estes should blink more and talk with even more of a monotone
Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.
NO SHAWN ESTES AND DAVE BENZ HE WAS FUCKING SAFE YOU ASSCLOWNS
I'm on the twitters @FFFFFFFFreak55
Why?
Think about it. The glove is under his arm and his arm is coming down to touch the base. It is very close but I’d say out.
his hand is in there before the glove touches
safe
I'm on the twitters @FFFFFFFFreak55
for that to happen
DeRosa would have to arch his arm which is not what I saw
Last place Astros
while the D’backs roll over the Padres. Luebke who we can’t hit, has given up 5 of his 9 HRs to the Bags. The Giants make Luebke look like Koufax

Sheesh - Giants LOLoffense
24 hits in 127 at-bats in this series against the Astros’ vaunted pitching staff (whose season team WHIP is 1.459)
Astros only have beaten 1 other team in a season series - the Nats

Tejada’s lucky they threw to first on that bunt. They had time to throw to second, and even if Huff was safe, Tejada would have been out at first. They should DFA him for that, but the Giants “brain trust” probably didn’t even notice it.
Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.
Tejada is the most useless Giant by far.
The Dude: Oh boy. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus.
...and with this ridonkulous loss, I have become the honey badger of the Giants fanbase
AT&T Park, Home of the WS Champion SF Giants, and Disneyland-so much MAGIC inside!
THE HONEY BADGER DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING !@% ABOUT THE GIANTS!!!

Thank you Hank!
Asked about Tejada’s “hustle.”

Bud Norris
Surprised? Best start of the season against the Giants. 1 BB 10 Ks un-fucking-believable. He had lasted just 5 innings 4 of the past 5 innings.

After J.A. Happ, I’m not surprised by anything
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

he had one better game this year
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.
back on May 1
clearly, he has control issues and a wild swinging undisciplined team like the Giants let’s a sloppy pitcher like this off the hook.

Jon: doing the post game re-cap, saying the inning should have never happened in the 8th if
Cabrera just stands there and catches the line drive.

That was bulshit
also the umpire seemed to forget about rule 6.08 with corporan
I'm on the twitters @FFFFFFFFreak55
nobody even enforces that rule.
There's a First for Everything:
Edgar Renteria, The First World Series MVP in Giants History.
Not even clear that he "leaned into it" like Kruk claimed
He definitely made no effort to get out of the way but like you said that is never enforced.
I wish Eli would lean into a few pitches
head first over the strike zone.

I have a hard time getting angry at the umps in this game when the Giants get 1 hit off of Norris
in the first 6 innings. The way this tam has played the last month, if the Astros are the worst team in the league, the Giants may be second worst. A horrendous offense, bad defense, a broken bullpen and station to station baserunning cannot be saved by Timmeh, Matt, Vogie and MadBum.

I'm just hoping the Giants can manage a second place finish in the West
it would really suck to be passed by the Rockies
Of course Kruk is making excuses about how the Astros are actually good
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.

You are what your record says you are

Roughly a dozen times a year
I wanna kick Krukow right in the balls.

Seemed like he was saying the Giants are off, and when you’re off, anyone can beat you.

He was talking about how the Astros aren’t really a AA team because they played well against the Giants or something.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

But he also went on to say, if you played an actual AA team and sucked, you can still lose. Whatever though, today sucks.

This Astros team
Isn’t really the one that had the worst record in baseball, right?
Haven’t they replaced like everyone?
with a bunch of non-prospects, sure
