Giants/Pirates Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 8, 2011 12:28 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe Pirates were such a cuddly story this year. Like, oh, two weeks ago. They were so wee and contending and surprising and not terrible and contending. Then Clint Hurdle looked in a mirror and said "Pittsburgh Pirates" three times. Now everyone's dead. Shouldn't have done that.
The Pirates have lost ten games in a row, probably as a punishment for daring to acquire players at the trading deadline.
Welcome to the Pirates, Derrek Lee and Ryan Ludwick! We'll introduce you at a press conference in just a couple of oh crap we're out of the race.
But the Pirates need to lose more. It makes me feel guilty to wish for that sort of thing, but here we are. The Giants went through a stretch of misery themselves, and they can't drop a home series to the Pirates right now. The Giants need to do that earthy hunter thing where they thank the animal that they just killed for sustenance, praying for its safe passage to the spirit world. Completely unavoidable at this point.
So in the grand tradition of making too big of a deal about small samples, this will be the most telling series of the season. Here are the pitchers the Giants will face:
Charlie Morton
James McDonald
Jeff Karstens
When the Pirates were atop their division, it was mostly because Morton and Karstens were pitching exceptionally well. But they really aren't that good. Morton has a great sinker that he can't quite command just yet, and his peripherals were really strange for an effective pitcher, even by sinkerballer standards. Karstens was allowing a home run every other inning, but he was doing it without runners on base. Part of that is because Karstens doesn't walk a lot of hitters (25 in 130 innings), but part of it had to do with small-sample shenanigans.
Can those three shut down the Giants, though? Of course. It's another resistible force/movable object showdown. Who is going worse, the Pirates' starting pitching or the Giants' hitting? The Giants absolutely have to start hitting against this trio. Not because it's a must-win series -- there are still two months now, come on -- and not because they need to send a message or a wake-up call or a wake-up message call to fire up the clubhouse with a wake-up message. They need to start hitting against the Pirates because check out these start times:
8/8 - 7:15
8/9 - 7:15
8/10 - 12:45
Each one of those times is right after I eat. If I have to watch Aubrey Huff roll a bunch of Jeff Karstens mediumballs to second, I'll be more than a little vomity. It's not that the Pirates or their pitchers are bad -- it's that if the Giants fancy themselves contenders, they need to able to hit against them. And by "hit," I'm not saying they need to explode for eight runs in the first three innings of every game, I'm suggesting that they score four runs or so in each game. Modest expectations. If they can't do that against the Pirates at home, I ... I ... don't have more room in my heart for more yuck right now.
This should be the perfect series for the Giants right now -- a struggling, deflated team coming into a park that's normally tough on visiting teams. In theory, it looks good. In theory, Brandon Belt wasn't ever going to be blocked because Huff could just move on over to a corner outfield spot. Theories suck, and the people who espouse them should be ashamed of themselves.
It'd be redundant to say this series fills me with dread. Every series following a bad stretch fills me with dread. This one isn't different. For some reason, though, this one is like a mixture of exasperation and dread. Apparently the Pirates are the Pirates again. Can the Giants please do something with that?
Hitter to watch
Ryan Doumit is a catcher. Ryan Doumit can kind of hit. Ryan Doumit can kind of catch. Ryan Doumit is kind of expensive. While I still sort of hope Ramon Hernandez makes it to the Giants on a waiver claim, something tells me that Doumit is more of a realistic option.
Don't look too close, of course, but this is a good chance to check him out. He has a $7.25 million team option for next year that no one is going to want, so he's pretty much a pending free agent. The Pirates should want to get something back for him. Like, say, a Thomas Neal kind of prospect.
Pitcher to watch
Joel Hanrahan is same age as Brian Wilson. I would like Wilson to call him up and ask how he stopped worrying and learned to love the strikes. Hanrahan went from a five-walk-per-nine guy to a control master in just over 100 innings. Man, how I'd love for Wilson to do the same.
Prediction
Five runs. Here's hoping they're allocated in a manner that is favorable to the Giants.

Wiki
The new owners also signed several players from American Association teams. One of them was highly regarded second baseman Lou Bierbauer, who had previously played with the A.A.‘s Philadelphia Athletics. The Athletics failed to include him on their reserve list, and the Alleghenys picked him up. This led to loud protests by the Athletics, and in an official complaint, an AA official claimed the Alleghenys’ actions were “piratical”. This incident (which is discussed at some length in The Beer and Whisky League, by David Nemec, 1994) quickly accelerated into a schism between the leagues that contributed to the demise of the A.A. Although the Alleghenys were never found guilty of wrongdoing, they made sport of being denounced for being “piratical” by renaming themselves “the Pirates” for the 1891 season. The nickname was first acknowledged on the team’s uniforms in 1912. Around the time the team adopted the Pirates nickname, the United States Board on Geographic Names forced the city of Pittsburgh to undergo a controversial name change by having them drop the “h” at the end of the name, making the team’s official name the “Pittsburg Pirates” from the adoption of the Pirates nickname until Pittsburgh was able to get the “h” restored to its name in 1911.

Just for fun
The Giants began as the second baseball club founded by millionaire tobacconist John B. Day and veteran amateur baseball player Jim Mutrie. The Gothams, as the Giants were originally known, entered the National League in 1883, while their other club, the Metropolitans (the original Mets) played in the American Association. Nearly half of the original Gotham players were members of the disbanded Troy Trojans, whose place in the National League the Gothams inherited. While the Metropolitans were initially the more successful club, Day and Mutrie began moving star players to the Gothams and the team won its first National League pennant in 1888, as well as a victory over the St. Louis Browns in an early incarnation of the World Series. They repeated as champions the next year with a pennant and World Series victory over the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.
It is said that after one particularly satisfying victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, Mutrie (who was also the team’s manager) stormed into the dressing room and exclaimed, “My big fellows! My giants!” From then on, the club was known as the Giants.

Unfortunately, the younger generation don’t appreciate good vocalists. I didn’t start enjoying her music until a couple of years ago when I started listening to more jazz and blues, and she has a blues like feel to some of her middle albums. Probably lost most of the pop fans at that point.
Her voice is a beautiful instrument.
And also, this.

Have you heard Holly Cole’s album of Tom Waits covers. Uneven, but there are a few real gems.
MY DAD WAS WRONG!
MY BOY NEEDS TO THROW HARDER!
That’s the one I meant. Norah Jones only covers Long Way Home. I do have the Holly Cole recording, somebody on the Waits listserv sent it to me. It’s an audiophiles dream (sound and production-wise), but it leaves me cold.

You're right
it’s unfair to put her in the same light as most other one-hit/album wonders
But in light of the press/popularity an prediction made by all the “experts” in 2002…her career seemed have to turned more toward a niche audience rather than massive widespread popularity.
Somehow I always compare her with Alicia Keys…

fourth/latest album $3 million +
(which actually adds up to 46 million + so…)

I think she's one of those people...
…that made F.U> money on her first album and now is doing whatever the F she wants, regardless of how it sells. From what I’ve read, she likes playing small venues under assumed names and doesn’t really want to be a Katy Perry or Lady Gaga larger-than-life star.
She has still has a loyal enough following and will probably never want for anything, so good for her.
The thong is, it happened.
This is probably the reason more than anything
She seems to make albums that are extremely eclectic in style and themes. More power to her.
I guess I was never a big fan of her music but I can respect her if indeed that’s what she decided to do.

Before I had ever heard of her (and at that point I was reasonably plugged in to music) I saw her open for Willie Nelson at the Fillmore. As usual for an opening act people were chatting when she started. For her second number she did a solo version of Dylan’s “I’ll be your baby tonight.” By the beginning of the second verse the crowd was mesmerized. We remained so for the next 30 minutes of her set.
That also happened to be a matter of days after Waylon Jennings died. Willie played for over 4 hours. No curtain calls or encores. Just kept playing. Must have played Whiskey River three times. It was epic.

As Chandler residents Joshua Seto, 27, and his fiancée, Cara Christopher, walked over to a Fry’s Food Store for refreshments, he tried securing her pink handgun in the front waistband of his pants.
The gun fired, striking Seto’s penis and continuing through his left thigh. The bleeding started immediately and was heavy, according to police dispatch recordings released Sunday.

ok, got it
In 1972, Charles Fry sold the Fry’s Supermarkets chain for $40 million and gave a portion of the proceeds to each of his sons, John, Randy, and Dave.2 The Fry brothers had little interest in grocery store retailing. Instead, in 1985, they joined together with a fourth partner, Kathryn Kolder, to open the first Fry’s Electronics store at a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) site in Sunnyvale, California.3 Today, Fry’s Food and Drug stores are owned and operated by Kroger and are not affiliated with Fry’s Electronics, although they share a similar logo.4
Us old peoples know that Fry’s did indeed used to be a grocery store chain.

More Bochy
When Beltran left the game yesterday, why did he put in Aaron Rowand instead of Cody Ross? Not only is Ross a better left fielder, the spot was due up fourth in the next inning and they wasted an at bat on Rowand. Bochy may like his outfielders spinning around like ballerinas or routine fly balls, but when the game is on the line I get kind of nervous.

Crazy sad. So it was the ball that broke his neck? Or did he hit his head on the way down or something? I don’t really want to watch the video
I watched the video
…and thought it looked like his head hitting the ground did it, but I’m no doctor
The thong is, it happened.
Initially, I was a little annoyed at the article
but thinking about it…wasn’t there a cap with plastic inserts on the side to protect players?
I’m of the opinion that something is better that nothing, yet hitters avoid the “gazoo” helmets that protect them, but “look goofy.” Pitchers refuse a small shin guard, one of which would have kept Roy Halladay, the most durable of modern pitchers, from having a broken leg from a comebacker a couple years back. I’ve long thought that a small insert of hard plastic and perhaps a bit of foam could be put inside the pitcher’s hat while pitching, giving him some extra protection. It wouldn’t help in all situations, but I know that pro pitchers wouldn’t go for the pitching helmets that we’re starting to see in youth leagues.

ESPN Earns Highest “Sunday Night Baseball” Overnight Of Season
ESPN earned a 3.6 overnight Nielsen rating for last night’s 10-inning Yankees-Red Sox matchup, marking the net’s best "Sunday Night Baseball" rating of the season to date. The 3.6 overnight is up 33% from a 2.7 rating for the same matchup on the same weekend last year. When national ratings are released tomorrow, the telecast is expected to be ESPN’s best "SNB" audience since Red Sox-Yankees on June 3, 2007. Last night’s game earned a 17.0 local rating in Boston and an 8.6 rating in N.Y. (THE DAILY).
.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
It’s a feedback cycle. It gets the highest ratings because ESPN goes out of its way to market it.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
they don't really need to 'market' Yankees-Red Sox
It is what it is, you know? Two of the three best teams in baseball, in two of the largest cities in the country, in a rivalry that goes back over a hundred years. It’s kind of a big deal.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
it's just the numbers
they have the most fans, so if they both play in the game, the national fanbases will watch, and by default you have the highest ratings.

Hats are kind of whatever, because hey, maybe that’s your only hat.
Jerseys are a bit bolder, because presumably you have other shirts.
I just think it’s odd to wear something in support of a team that isn’t actually in the contest.
My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
I will say
I’d never say anything to anyone about it. Which I suppose is why I didn’t get the AN “GOTTA REPRESENTN” thing, because the subtext was you basically wait for someone to say something and then you can have a TRASH TALK SMACKDOWN™, which is apparently the obligation of the home team fans.

In skinhead circles, it’s used to differentiate ‘white supremacist’ from ‘person who judges everyone by their racial background’. So one can cling to their racism while denying that it necessarily inlcudes hatred or violence. Or so I gather.

I do think it’s interesting that Kreuger got hired back right around when the Bruno incident happened. I wasn’t all that interested in hearing what a horrible experience this has been for Bruno, though.

Kreuger said he saw the tweet while he was at the game with his daughter and said it kind of ruined his weekend because he knew it would have to be talked about and well… history and stuff….
I didn’t think what Kreuger said was as bad as what Bruno said, but it’s sort of splitting hairs, I guess. I just felt like he wanted the listeners to feel sympathy to Bruno, and I just don’t.

Don’t like Bruno, don’t like Radish, don’t like Bruce… so my point of view may be skewed.
Kreuger will most likely always get a pass from me for staying on the air overtime on a certain late October evening in 2002.
He seems fine, and probably got too much shit for what happened. He was doing his best today to talk about how one has to take responsibility for his actions. I just wasn’t ready to hear how terrible it was that people are “coming out of the woodwork” to attack Bruno, and how hard this must be for Bruno right now. You reap what you sow, dude.

I think you are agreeing – I can refer to an actual undocumented individual as an illegal alien and not mean it any other way than from a purely legal standpoint. But for a segment of people, it is a nasty insult.
For Bruno, it was an insult. And a racist one, based on Ramirez’ ethnicity and name.

My Take
Rollins singles in 2 to make it 8-2, then takes off for 2nd. 1 batter later, Victorino gets plunked. Definitely not ordered, but probably understood under baseball’s more subtle rules. I haven’t heard this talked about at all on any media outlets, though.

Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
Rex Kwon Whiteside and Ramirez should have gotten a game IMO and most Philly fans understood that Victorino was going to be penalized the most after the dive back into the pile. As far as retribution goes…there is the throw over Utley’s head by Sanchez in ‘09, the Utley HBP in game 6, and now this…I’d say the Phils will be plunking someone next season, probably Posey. I don’t quite get the seemingly accepted reasoning of Rollins’ stolen base being the catalyst for the HBP. I understand the unwritten rules of baseball, but with 4 innings left for the Giants, I don’t see how that applies. I still haven’t heard a reason as to why Huff was holding Jimmy onto 1st base in that situation if it was unreasonable for him to steal…has he been asked that at all?
"Have you seen this Perez guy pitch? I'm a pacifist, but I've never seen anything so violent look so beautiful."
If you injure Posey in any plunking, the entire city of San Francisco will rise and burn the city of Philadelphia. Either that, or we’ll withhold all Apple products. Sandoval seems a much likelier target given his antics; Posey was nowhere near anything.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
that’s kinda the point isn’t it?
"Have you seen this Perez guy pitch? I'm a pacifist, but I've never seen anything so violent look so beautiful."
Buster Posey is from Georgia, and Victorino is from Hawaii. Those locations are on the same planet in the solar system, so the unwritten rules of baseball mandate this.

My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
They wouldn’t be attempting to injure Posey (I really like him by the way)…just a HBP in the ribs. The Phillies have not been one to throw at batters and rarely retaliate, but it is now 3-0 with bush league plunks…I’d say one is coming next season.

There was a part in The Franchise where the Giants were in the locker room watching a replay of one of their opponents getting hit and Huff goes “Hey Posey, that’s you tomorrow”. So I have to agree that he’s probably one of the main targets on the Giants.

The thong is, it happened.
I re-watched it
he was halfway between the foul line and the mound when he grappled Polanco, mostly by burying his head in Polanco’s stomach. Ramirez is like 20 feet away, and Victorino was being held by the umpire.

That’s his job when Victorino started toward the mound. He then turned and saw Polanco charging at him and tackled him.
Like I said, Eli showed a lot of restraint

I get that you see it differently
Whiteside jumped up and down looking at Victorino while the umpire restrained him. I think that made the Phillies charge in faster than they would have. His “job” is to stand between the batter and pitcher and walk him up the line.
Tackling Polanco clearly escalated the fight from stand around and yell to grapple and punch.
There’s a reason he was fined, and it wasn’t for all the “restraint” he showed.

i agree though that ball was smoked and if he had not fielded it cleanly, it might have done some damage to his man parts
he’s getting paid $11MM.
get in front of the ball, and deal with your balls later. 1B is the easiest position on the field, and Huff even finds a way to fuck that up.

oh, totally. upon watching the condensed game, he also didn’t get up a go after the ball, either, allowing the runner to get to 3B.
if you make a fucking error, you suck it up and go after the ball. don’t assume someone is always backing you up.
and he made a really poor throw that allowed Utley to bat, knocking in a run. and he ran home really slowly, allowing Ruiz to tag him out.
I can’t take much more of Huff’s bullshit

I know, I know. A lot of you aren’t happy. The relaunch of 95.7 as KGMZ or "The Game" hasn’t resulted in more A’s-focused programming. The shift to a sort of KNBR Jr. is more than a little upsetting. And I can even infer that from Lew Wolff’s response to my question about the radio situation, which he deemed "not perfect." By all rights the A’s deserve a shot at full-time coverage, which in turn should grow the fan base. Sadly for the A’s and we A’s fans, life is pretty damned unfair. Just as the A’s haven’t been world-beaters at the gate, they also haven’t been killing it on the radio, at least historically. We can at least be thankful that they are on a sports station that provides some support, but that’s the bare minimum at least for the time being.

Furthermore, Tierney routinely bashes the A’s. He even called A’s fans "demented and lost." After receiving complaints from A’s fans regarding the lack of A’s talk on the station, Tierney now rings a bell whenever the A’s are mentioned (followed by his sophomoric laugh) – which is very insulting.

I’m obviously trying to get on the Giants good side, here, but is anyone positive that Burrell isn’t actually hurt? Or are we just making this assumption because he was benched prior to going on the DL?

Beltran is hitting .244 for the Giants. He has only two RBIs and hasn’t done anything to improve the woeful San Francisco offense. The same can’t be said about Pence and Philadelphia. Pence is hitting .342 in Philadelphia with two home runs and seven RBIs. He has also helped Ryan Howard by providing protection. Howard has regained his edge with Pence batting after him. In fact, the whole Phillies roster seems to have upped its game. The Phillies might have seen their nine-game winning streak end, but they sent a message to their rivals that they are clearly the best team. The Pence trade has had a visible impact. That isn’t the case for Beltran and the Giants.
Around the trade deadline, many people wanted the Phillies to get Beltran. But the price was too high for a player that would only be here for two months. When the Giants landed him, the national media hailed it as the move that would put them past the Phillies. Less than two weeks later, Pence is looking like another Phillies deadline steal. Best of all, he will be here next year. Ruben Amaro deserves a lot of credit for always making the right move at the trading deadline. With Pence providing a strong right-handed bat, the Phillies have topped the Giants’ move. The Beltran trade is looking like a waste of prospects for the Giants when compared to the Pence trade.
