Post-game thread: Uneventful, close game is uneventful and close.

PrintFeels like this was the tale of two games. In the first game, there was an ass-kicking. Jonathan Sanchez walked only two of the 21 batters he faced. That's good! Everything else was a steaming pile. Remember, the Giants are supposed to be the Phillies' peers. The ostensible rivalry came about because these two teams were supposed to be twin titans. A summit of the powers! And the Giants kind of suck right now. They've lost six of their last seven.
Seven of their last eight? Whatever. I don't even know right now. The Giants aren't an especially good team right now.
Okay, so it was Victorino who got plunked. That's awesome. He has a rectum face, and society is right to treat him differently. Then he came out three steps and was like, "What's up?" And then he stopped because 96.2% of all major-league players can tear Victorino apart at the joints and feast on his marrow. But Victorino marrow will make a fella impotent and infertile, so everyone was content to mill about and push each other around for a bit. Then Whiteside started pogoing. "C'MONC'MONC'MONC'MON," quoth the Whiteside. And things got a little furry from that point on.
Jonathan Sanchez looked ... okay. Trust him more than Zito, at least. The velocity was down a tidge, and his stamina wasn't there -- if it every really was -- but he looked like a guy who could help a rotation. Maybe. Someday. Another six years, and he'll be in top form! And the Phillies tossed out their fifth starter, a guy who wasn't even supposed to be in the majors this year, and he dominated the Giants again. That's a little discouraging.
Victorino tackled Hensley Meulens. That made sense. Fine work. But all I could think of was Eli Whiteside, hopping up and down, looking to protect his pitcher and possibly feasting on Victorino marrow because, screw it, he'd be perpetually flaccid and unable to have anymore kids, but at least we wouldn't have to deal with that chirpy, cheap bastard anymore.
It's the rare moment where the backup becomes something more -- an equal 1/25th of a complete team. We watch these guys for 162 days out of the year, and we can think of them as Strat-o-Matic cards at times, but we don't know who the players are who will start hopping around, ready to get in the middle of some pink-and-gray scrum. Whiteside is one of those guys.
The Giants scored two runs. This is an improvement! My projections:
8/5: 0 runs
8/6: 2 runs
8/7: 4 runs
8/8: 8 runs
8/9: 16 runs
8/10: 32 runs
The bad part is that the Pirates are in town on August 10th, and I'd feel really bad putting up 32 runs on them. Oh, well. Can't get in the way of the freight train known as mathematics.
There will be some noise about this game, this brawl, waking up the Giants. Good. Hope so. Because this is an ugly, moribund bunch right now, and if they have to get in fights, or have players-only meetings, or take a field trip to the Exploratorium together ... don't care. Do it. Whatever it takes. If you need to sacrifice an orphan, sacrifice an orphan. Throw him into the volcano. Win a damned game.
Last thing: upset about a player stealing with a six-run lead? Throw him out. Either that, or go over to the dugout and politely explain that you won't try to score either. I hope that wasn't the real reason for the plunking. I'll hold on to the belief that Shane Victorino is a weasel with a rectum face, and that Ramon Ramirez is only a man who cares about justice and all that is sacred in this world. That makes more sense.

Phils fan here who understands why other teams hate Vic.
He plays hard, he shows emotion, he tries to win in whatever fashion necessary. The difference between him and what i feel are some of the more “hateable” players is that:
1) He doesn’t really try to draw attention to himself, in the manner of someone like Ocho Cinco
2) He doesn’t brag about how awesome he is.
3) He’s never had any off-field issues.
He’s the kind of player that is awesome to have on your team because he’s really good, flies a little under the radar and wants to win in whatever way possible. Those same quantities are irksome in an opponent.
don't worry about that
it won’t happen until next year.

Reposting from jponry's thread:
So here’s my impression of what happened with Panda “throwing a punch”:
Before Victorino made his second charge, Panda was behind one of the Phillies trying to "bear hug" him out of the scrum. Whoever it was- looked like he was wearing catcher’s gear- ended up falling down as he was pulled backward. As he fell, he began grabbing at Panda and pulling Panda over. This can be seen happening directly behind Affeldt (#41) in the video.
Meanwhile, Victorino was being corralled by one of his coaches. Victorino saw what was happening around Panda and charged again. Everything then goes completely insane again- Panda being grabbed and pulled while he seems to be trying to get away. People are falling down. Panda, backing away, then throws a "hammer-fist" as he’s backing up, and finally gets away.
According to the Phillies’ broadcast team that was Carlos Ruiz wrasslin’ with Panda.

Panda vs the smallest guy on the Phillies. Kinda funny.
Not that it really matters because they were wrestling and not actually fighting but I am curious to see if Ruiz would seek out Panda, he is somewhat ballsy like that.
I am sure they were really just talking exchanging pleasantries.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.

I'm legitimately worried that the postseason hopes are dashed now
This is the first prolonged slump they haven’t been able to break out of. I was pretty worried about the 5 game losing streak, but there was always the hope they’d break out of it like they have all season and Wednesday seemed to be it. Not so sure any more. And with 4 games in Atlanta plus 3 in Florida plus two more with Philly… eh.
Oh well, still been a pretty fun season, all things considered.
eh, they were pretty shitty last august too

Eh
We have Beltran and a rejuvenated Panda this year. We’re still in first place despite the recent rough patch; things could be worse.
A lot has changed though
Burrell, Huff, and Torres are a shell of themselves from last year. Buster and Freddy are out. No Jazz Hands or Rally Gar.

From xanthan's crappy blog
Here’s a sneak peak at what was said between Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean when they decided to go with Mark DeRosa and option Brandon Belt, presented in word cloud format. Transcripts were taken from this conversation, as well as those conversations which took place to a) sign Miguel Tejada b) re-sign Huff c) continue to play Huff during his horrendous struggles d) affirm that Belt should not be given a chance to play and succeed and e) trade for Orlando Cabrera.
Every single conversation yielded a word cloud that looked exactly like this:
The reasons to put Mark DeRosa on the 25-man roster are obvious.

Tempers flared when Ramirez hit Victorino in the lower back with a pitch, moments after Jimmy Rollins stole second with a six-run lead. Victorino began walking toward the mound and Whiteside, the catcher, stepped in front of him. Placido Polanco raced in from second base and was tackled by Whiteside.
“Yeah, absolutely, I think he did,” Victorino said of Ramirez plunking him intentionally. “That’s why I took a step forward. I had no intentions of going out there and charging the mound. I just wanted to go out there and get an answer. … Obviously, Eli felt like, from looking at his reaction, I was going to go. He started jumping around. Polanco came in and he tackled Polanco. Everything escalated from there.”
These teams have become quite the rivals of late after the Giants beat the favored Phillies in six games of the NL championship series last fall on the way to capturing the franchise’s first World Series since moving West in 1958.
Carlos Beltran didn’t agree with Rollins’ steal.
“You can ask Jimmy Rollins about that. I would not have done it,” San Francisco’s new slugger said.
Manuel figures Ramirez just became frustrated.
“He hit Vic, then he came after Vic. Vic almost has to go unless he wants his teammates to call him chicken,” Manuel said. “I think (Ramirez) was getting hit and he got mad and he was going to plunk somebody. He was going to send a message.”

Bat Boy Easily Holds Shane Victorino Back During Argument With Umpire
AUGUST 14, 2009 |
PHILADELPHIA—Eight-year-old, 67-pound Phillies bat boy Joey Potts effortlessly restrained Shane Victorino from a dispute with plate umpire Ed Rapuano after the center fielder’s ejection in the seventh inning Sunday night. “He was really light and easy to push down,” Potts told reporters of the 28-year-old professional baseball player. “I was just trying to help because I didn’t want Mr. Victorino to get in trouble, but then he was just on the ground screaming that I broke his back. He screamed kind of like a girl.” Potts apologized to Victorino the following day during an emotional press conference in which both cried.
Shane Victorino’s Parents Bracing For Annual Spring Training Drop-Off Tantrum
WAILUKU, HI—Michael and Joycelyn Victorino told reporters Friday that they are preparing to deal with their tantrum-prone 30-year-old son, Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, who they said will undoubtedly throw another hissy fit before being dragged out of the car and dropped off at spring training. “It’s just a matter of time. Once he sees us packing his clothes and his baseball equpiment, his face gets all red and he starts shaking,” said mother Joycelyn, adding that they tried to get Victorino’s grandfather to take him to Clearwater, FL, but he was unavailable. “He’s going to cry and kick and scream the whole ride there. ’Don’t make me go! None of the other players like me!’ All that crap. Frankly, I’m just happy to have him out of my hair for a few weeks.” Victorino’s parents said they hope they don’t have a repeat of last year, when Phillies manager Charlie Manuel had to call them back to the spring training facility to pick up their bawling son.

My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
The fight from the game
I had really good seats to the right of home plate about fifteen rows up and when Victorino started towards home plate, I was stunned because I have never actually seen this in a game I’ve been too, especially so close. Then things got a little weird and there’s just this big scrum match going up and down the middle of the infield. I couldn’t see anything but it looked kind of like the center of the thing was a mosh pit or something because you’d see some tussling going on with a bunch of people standing around. My friends thought it was just kind of for show or not that interesting but it just looked too intense to be more than the usual "fight’ where everybody just stands around hobnobbing while two people taunt each other. Did see Pablo in some sort of hug but I just thought it was Pablo being all friendly and Panda-like.

It didn’t even occur to me, but I wasn’t paying that much attention to it and I was just gobsmacked by the whole thing. I just figured that all the talk of the rivalry had actually created one and that was a little bloodletting or that the Giants were just in a really bad mood and looking to start something
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Aug 6, 2011 12:04 AM PDT up reply actions
It wasn't.
If it had been the 9th inning, fine, but a six-run lead in the top of the 6th is not insurmountable, even for the Giants. It’s perfectly legitimate for the Phils to keep trying their best to score in that situation. I think basically RamRam was getting knocked around, was already ticked off, and the SB just sort of put him over the edge.
Thoughts on the game
what Grant basically said. It sucks to lose, but glad Ram Ram beaned rectum face. I kind of wish it was Pence because the dude is good. I forever will <3 Whiteside for this game. J Sanch was good until he sucked later, but improvement! Mota would have destroyed Howard if he did hit him, and lets get a split with the best duo in baseball in MATT CAIN and Timmeh!
Eh whatever
Just win a damn game you losers.

Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.
that's postivively Marinerian
However, Cody Ross very much < Carlos Beltran, and the combined offense of the Giants RF down the stretch last year (LOLGUILLEN) < Beltran by even more than that.
At this point, I think it basically depends on Torres & Huff turning it around. Super.

When Sanchez gave up the 2nd homer to make it 4-1, it was really sad because at that moment I and I’m sure a lot of other people knew at that moment that the game was over. There’s no way this team could rally back to win it. Last year’s team? Yes. This year’s no. I was even thinking that if they did do it, would anyone on the team say that it was a big deal because “nobody thought we could do it.”

Remember this game? That would be impossible now.
"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!"
Observation
Edgar Renteria hit nine home runs as a Giant. Eight of them came in games the Giants won (the one that didn’t put the Giants in the lead), and seven of them had a WPA swing of 0.098 or greater.
"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!"
Another observation
Edgar Renteria hit .276/.332/.374 in 2010. That line looks really nice right now.
"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!"
Pablo was good in 2008, 2009, and 2011. The Giants’ offense was bad in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Pablo was relatively bad in 2010. The Giants’ offense was relatively good in 2010.
The conclusion is inescapable.

Just not sure yet how Beltran’s two months with the Giants will go. He could go all 2005 Randy Winn, or he could drop a 2006 Shea Hillenbrand on us.
Still, I have to agree with Lies and Perfidy’s point that Beltran will probably improve on the Guillen/Ross (mostly Guillen) combo we had down the stretch last season.
Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.

More fun fact
The Giants are currently on pace to score 566 runs. If they stay on that pace, make the playoffs, and get to the World Series, they would have the fewest runs scored for a pennant winner in NL history. (Cubs, 571 in 1907, 154 games of course.)

Well from the amateur psychiatrist perspective maybe what happened last night was a good thing. The Giants were losing and looking craptacular at it. They were stressing and pressing and maybe the wild rumpus allowed them to blow off some steam and avoid VD. AND if it gets Zito and Burrell suspended for a game or two after they’re off the dl…. well…
and then there’s the whole "new guys bonding over shared survival of an adverse situation…

Best Baseball Fight -- Nominations
Martinez vs. Zimmer
In the testy Game 3 of the 2003 ALCS, after allowing single runs in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings, Martínez hit Yankees right fielder Karim Garcia near the shoulders with a pitch, sparking a shouting match between Martínez and the New York bench. Directing his attention at Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, Martínez jabbed a finger into the side of his own head, which some, including an enraged Yankee bench coach Don Zimmer, interpreted as a threatened beanball . Emotions remained high in the bottom of the inning, which was led off by Boston slugger Manny Ramírez. Ramirez became irate over a high strike from Roger Clemens, and both benches cleared. During the ensuing commotion, the 72-year-old Zimmer charged towards Martínez; Martínez deflected Zimmer’s charge and threw Zimmer to the ground. Later, Martínez claimed that he was not indicating that he would hit Posada in the head, but that he would remember what Posada was saying to him.

It is and from our seats you could have.
But at the time my wife and I were taking my 18month old on a quick walk around the food court area of Club Level. So all I was able to see was Hop Hop Hop failed takedown both teams running onto the field. My buddies said it was pretty funny though.

Couple comments
1. Every team goes through a stretch like this. Its not time to panic. If they can come through this at or near the top of the division they will be just fine.
2. No problem with Ram-Ram plunking Victoirno. Phils were running all over the place up 6. Time to send a little message. He did it right – he hit him in the butt.
3. I really hate the Phillies. As much now as I do the Dodgers (although they are now irrelevant). This is an organizatin of supreme arrogance that truly believes they had the WS stolen from them. I sure as hell hope somebody beats them this year.
4. Time for Cain and Timmy to stick it right up Manuel’s ass.
5. Course it may not matter anyway cause they simply can’t hit with men on base. They had chances last night against a guy taht really didn’t have all that much. Failed every damn time. Its way beyond old.

Cabrera batting fifth is like when you do a puzzle and there’s one piece in there that doesn’t quite work in a spot and isn’t right but because you don’t have anything else you can do, try and squeeze it into that spot and hammer it in to make it look like it was meant to be there.

I genuinely wonder how Bochy can think that batting Rowand leadoff is a good idea.
"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!"
But, I mean, what would make him think that?
"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!"
And Sabean thinks Bochy is a good manager, and Bowtie thinks Sabean is a good general manager, and the blind squirrel thinks he's really good at finding nuts.

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I truly, with all my heart believe that Bochy is simply the most passive-aggressive individual in the universe, and he creates these lineups to get back at us for some imagined slight.
It can’t possibly be that he really thinks Cabrera should bat 5th or that Rowand should even play. What other explanation can there be?

So, if the Giants got Larry Krueger suspended and then fired for his comments about “brain-dead Carribean hitters hacking at slop” six years ago, I’m assuming they are hard at work getting The Tony Bruno Show off the schedule on KNBR 1050.
And I actually enjoyed listening to his program a lot of the time, but his tweet was offensive and inexcusable at best.
I have nothing to add about the scrum last night. Right now, I’ll take Giants wins over all of us calling Shane Victorino “Rectum Face.” Although both would be nice.
"I could hear the angry MCC cacophany in my head."--Oldjacket, 7/4/10
I think that the two are separate.
Larry was just talking — and no one cared, until someone cared.
Tony is tweeting. What’s a tweet? Just garbage speak.
I’m not offended by any of it.
Media is a tough business.
All the best to them.
Krueger was fired because Felipe Alou was the manager and he was offended by the comment. I would doubt the Giants’ team cares what an idiot like Bruno says.
Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.
Bruno’s gone already.

Shift-A: I highly doubt the beaning was intentional in the first place.
The last several pitches to that side of the plate, Ramirez was clearly not controlling well. Didn’t seem to be as big of a deal since it was a righthanded batter at the time.
The whole thing felt a little contrived, kinda like the one in the playoffs. Both times I turned to mrs.breadfan7 and said, “Wait, why are we clearing benches again?”
