I didn't know this about Vogelsong
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/giants/2011-07-26-ryan-vogelson-giants-journey_n.htm?source=twitter
Vogelsong rejoined the Nashville Sounds in 2003, winning a career-high 12 games during a season in which he developed Bell’s palsy.
The condition, usually brought on by a viral or bacterial infection, causes paralysis to one side of the face. Vogelsong’s symptoms lasted for three weeks. He pitched through them .
His inability to blink with one of his eyes, which forced him to close it with his hand, made for comical situations on the mound.
“The hitters would ask the catcher, ‘What the hell’s going on?’” Vogelsong recalls. "And he’d say, ‘He can’t see out of his left eye.’ And the hitter would go, ‘WHAT?’ Well, I could see fine. He was just telling them that to screw with them.’’

That catcher sounds awesome. I think Vogelsong should continue doing that just to screw with hitters.

A question for the McCoven?
From Grant’s post-game post posted yesterday:
They’re okay. They’re a .500 team – a team that scores as many runs as they allow
If the Giants play .500 ball the rest of the way, they’ll win 87 games.
What do people think it’s going to take to win the NL West this year?
The thong is, it happened.
this
then be happy if it’s only 87.

He splits the 8th with Lopez. Wilson is always in there and the other guys are expected to be bridge relievers, get 1-2 innings consistently, even when winning. Who is 7th? Lopez? Casilla?

Romo should not split the 8th.
Romo should pitch the hole 8th with Lopez/RamRam splitting the 7th.
Brandon Crawford: Your SF Giants 2012 Opening Day CURRENT starting SS!!
I think Lopez gets a lot more innings because he’s a sidearmer (less taxing on the arm)
Wilson basically gets an inning an appearance
Mota/RamRam are long relievers.
Affeldt is the other lefties in the bullpen and the occasional longer reliever.

I think they might also be a bit scared to overuse him. I mean, the guy throws a slider like 98.6% of the time (fangraphs lists it at 50.7%) and guys who throw lots of sliders kind of have a history of having their arm disintegrate.

perhaps
then I would use him fewer games, but full innings each time.
I’d reckon that using him for 2 games with 3-4 batters each is not much more stressful than 2 games with 1-2 batters.

If anything, one would think that throwing sidearm would put more stress on the arm.

I was thinking it would shift the stress around.

Since when does sidearm = less taxing?
If anything, it’s the opposite since it’s more of an abrupt stop of the arm.
Brandon Crawford: Your SF Giants 2012 Opening Day CURRENT starting SS!!
Nope
the overhand throw/pitching motion is the probably the worst thing you can do to an arm/shoulder/elbow
Anytime you throw something overhead, it’s against the natural motion of your arm. This is why softball pitchers can throw a lot without being tired.

I think Amaro over pays. Think about it, the only starting position player that have expiring contract on that team? Rollins and Ibanez. Ibanez will be replaced by Brown, leaving Amaro only SS to worry about offensivley.
They do have other concerns such as RP (maybe even SP if Oswalt walks) and raises to Lee (10 mil), Pence and Hamels. However I think Amaro just takes the Ibanez money and throws it at Rollins.

From the Propeller interview:
PROPELLER: Grant, I read your blog on the San Francisco Giants. I’ve been following the Giants from afar since I was a kid growing up in the Pacific Northwest. It caused some trouble. In eighth grade I defaced a Ken Griffey Jr. candy bar with a Sharpie and an image of Will Clark cut out from a Donruss baseball card, and ended up on top of a dugout slapping at my best friend’s hands while he tried to climb up and exact his revenge. When I decided to do a bit on nicknames for this issue I didn’t even think of emailing the Mariners bloggers. You seem like a clever guy who has something to say about baseball.

This losing streak along with the Belt fiasco is only made worse by giving up a game winning homerun to the opponent’s 1B prospect from AA. Now Belt can’t even get a start in a day game after a night game.
I may need a break from the Giants because this is just… I don’t know.

Isn’t it obvious how much better that lineup is? I’m passed the numb “WTF are you gonna do. It is Bochy” stage. You are facing a sweep at home that will be the second series sweep IN A ROW and Orlando Cabrera bats 5th. Somehow he is willing to bat Cabrera 5th but Belt can’t see the light of day.

see, you're wrong here.
Belt gets a start once per lunar cycle against a tough lefty. When he doesn’t produce in those three at bats, his average dips and he doesn’t get any ribbies. Which means more starts for Huff. Guys this is just good old baseball science. You play the guys with the better batting average and ribbies.

Damon Bruce asked Larry Baer this morning : "Will we see more of Brandon Belt"
Larry Baer answered with :
“We are reluctant to send him down, we do have other roster moves that are coming up, but we are reluctant to send Belt down.”
So basically, there is zero thoughts of Belt starting over Huff. The question of “more Brandon Belt” is interpreted as “will he stay on the roster when Tejada is activated” and the answer is “maybe, we might have to do that.”
I am not making this up.

It was just Huff and Tejada for awhile, I guess since Tejada is on the DL, that’s changed.

Proud papa to: Bill Schlough, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, aka the IT guy.

I'm pretty sure this is chasm
Since being called up, Belt has had 5 games in which he had 3 or more PAs, Huff has had 8.
During that time, Belt is hitting .238/.304/.476. Huff is hitting .324/.375/.471.
I know I’ll get ridiculed for super SSS but it’s not the unreasonable to say that Huff is getting better. The key question is whether Belt would have more success if given more PAs.

Why do you constantly insist on using such small sample sizes?
"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!"
We’ll go back to this again and again. SSS matters if you are talking about where a player is truly good or bad. Obviously, a player can be very good in one stretch and really bad in another. Neither are true indications of the player’s talents.
But this is a different question which is whether Huff is swinging well right now and as to Bochy’s statement that he likes Huff’s swing. Stats say he is. The issue is whether he can sustain it…that’s is where SSS comes in.
I am not saying that Huff has found “it” just that Huff is not as sucky as he was before.

Ah, but seven-day or fifteen-day or whatever splits are completely meaningless. They tell you nothing. They do not even tell you how he will play tomorrow. Just because he swung the bat well the last few days doesn’t mean he’ll swing it well again tomorrow.
"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 understand this
but again, Bochy is micromanaging the lineup because of the suckiness of the offense. He is basically making up the lineup as he goes on a day to day basis…heck he could be making the lineup based upon conversations he had with the players the morning of the games.
Obviously, this is not the best way of making a lineup but it’s not unreasonable.

Anyway, we’ll do a little experiment. I’ll get the OPS of each Giant over the last 14 days and over the last 365 days. We’ll see which stat line each player more closely resembles going forward.
"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!"
Cabrera should not be playing over Fontenot? Coin flip
Rowand isn’t really playing much and Torres has non-baseball issues.

Cabrera's D
looks good so far. I’d go with him as long as he can hit at Tejadan levels.
Relief! I Thank you for your Lefferts.

Come on
We discussed this already. Torres has medical issues that he spoke to Bochy about.
Bochy already stated that Cody leading off will not be the norm.

To be fair, we are all unaware of what’s going on with Torres. Some time ago he mentioned sleep problems; we’re not sure what the status is. Everything is conjecture.

heck he could be making the lineup based upon conversations he had with the players the morning of the games.
I REALLY hope he isnt doing this becasue that is a very ineffective way of doing it. I thought he was playing the hot hand, but maybe that explains Ocab batting fifth
It’s probably a combination of both.

If thats the case then I’m glad they put zito on the DL otherwise

Bochy on gameday:
“G’morning Belty, how are you feeling?”
“Perfect, skip. Ready to play; I feel strong. Also, Beltran and Bam Bam have shown me some swing flaw that I think I’ve fixed.”
…Bochy scribbles notes.
A few minutes later…
“G’morning Huffy, how’s the boy?”
“I feel like shit, Boch. I’m hungover & I think my left arm is broken in 4 places.”
“Good, good. You’re starting today.”
sure
except for all of the studies showing that recent hotness doesn’t lead to continued hotness.
just play the best guys. it is simpler that way.

Your mom's a girl
sure looked bad last night
runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out, where a 4-3 groundout gives us a a run and he swings at ball four and taps it to the pitcher. also a day after a night game. give belt a week of starts I am certain that he cant do worse than huff
Except that was a 7-pitch ABs and he flied out two other times in the game.
Would he look better had he flied out there and the grounded out to the pitcher in a different AB? Outcome would have been different for sure but it’s still the same night.

You know what really grinds my gears?
Every time Huff sits – for even a day – Bochy comes up with some excuse for it. “He’s suuuuper duper tired” or “He hurt his back and has been grinding through the pain”
They sit other guys with no comment, but when Huff sits it’s like they have to make sure everyone knows it’s not because he sucks.
“Huff can’t play today, he has ED and can’t get good wood on pitches, but I like the way he is swinging the bat.”

2 game split in STL when he hit 4 jacks

He had a really nice swing, we should start him for 2 weeks.
The next 2 weeks?
.264/.316/.340 (That’s actually an improvement)

I like how it’s “McC” whenever a group of people disagree. The individuals involved just kind of congeal into one unreasonable opposing force that represents the whole website. The whole website that you’re a part of. You’re like James Caan in Rollerball.

I’m really curious what the reasoning for Cabrera 5th is. He really hasn’t hit at all in the past, I don’t know, four years?

Yup. No OPS above .704 since 2008.
