Post-game thread: The End

PrintThis, then, was the season of perspective. We thought we had perspective last year; after all, the Giants hadn't won a championship in San Francisco, which means that every season prior to 2010 ended in some manner of heartbreak. That sort of thing builds character, it does. Whining and cynicism are parts of character, right? Sure they are.
But that sort of perspective was applied retroactively. The Giants won the World Series, and then the past seasons made some sort of sense in whatever context you wanted them to. This season was different. It's annoying when people call last season "a fluke" or "lucky," but it certainly was a season in which almost everything went right. It's not like everything went wrong in 2011 -- Vogelsong sticks out, for one -- but a whole heckuva lot more went wrong with the plans for 2011 than went right.
I've brought this up a few times, and if I do this for the next decade, I'll probably bring it up 20 more times: last year, the injuries the Giants had helped the team. I've never seen anything like it, nor will we again. When Mark DeRosa went down, that made it realistic that the Giants would acquire Pat Burrell. When Aaron Rowand was hurt, Andres Torres never let go of his spot. Edgar Renteria decomposed a bit, and Juan Uribe took over, hitting much better than he had a right to. That left Renteria fresh for the last month, when he was sort of important. And, of course, when Jose Guillen went down to his neck injury/performance-maintaining placebo problems, Cody Ross became the starter.
This season? Nah. The only position player who stayed healthy -- literally, the only one from Opening Day who didn't miss at least a month -- was the one player who was blocking a prospect who might have helped with regular playing time. It's not like when Pablo or Sanchez were hurt that there was some hotshot who could take over. There was one hotshot. He played first base. But, look at that, the first baseman was the one guy who stayed healthy (and awful). It's not like it was appropriate to root for an injury to Huff -- come on -- but it just shows how hard it is to repeat the injuries of convenience from last season. Just about every injury this year hurt the team substantially.
And throughout the playoff run, I developed a new respect for Bruce Bochy. Give him a good lineup -- an obvious, unassailable lineup that any person with sense would pencil in -- and I like him a lot as a manager. Remove the busted veterans, and install only good, obvious options, and Bochy has a low-key approach that's sort of welcome in the playoffs.
That was important this year because the Giants lived and died with the veterans. That choice isn't as automatic as us internet dorks like to believe -- a lot of us tend to overrate the unknown, and underrate the familiar -- but it certainly wasn't the right choice. That doesn't mean the Giants would have won the Wild Card or division with Brandons Belt and Crawford in the lineup all season, but we know they didn't win with the vets. The real answer could have been none of the above. Probably would have been. But the one qualification for Bochy not to drive me nuts isn't one that's easy to achieve. There will always be a broken veteran. Those things are like mushrooms.
Maybe it's easier to say that Bochy is only as good as the players Brian Sabean acquires. Makes sense. And, again, Sabean is maddening at times. I can't tear into him for the offseason moves and be honest at the same time -- I made arguments for Huff and Tejada after they were signed -- but I can't fathom what sort of mind thought that Orlando Cabrera would be an upgrade. It was the same mindset that thought Guillen was an upgrade, and I just can't put myself in that place. I can't do the mental ballet that it takes to think, "Well, if they do this ...", in which "this" is defined as anything that isn't what normal people would have expected from Jose Guillen and Orlando Cabrera.
That's what leads to an offseason like this, where I want Sabean to a) retain several of the players that he collected in the first place, but I'm b) scared silly of the players he seems to acquire in about 20% of his transactions.
So it's bittersweet. Obviously. That's the only word for today. It was a day to reflect on what went right last year through the prism of what went wrong this year. Could Sabean/Bochy put together a playoff team next year? Absolutely. But it takes a little bit of pixie dust -- Bonds dandruff? -- to make it magic inside this thing we're in. Maybe there will be Bonds dandruff next year. All I know is that this season made me appreciate that it was there last year. That sort of perspective has a little bit of value, even if making a run at back-to-back championships would have been a heck of a lot cooler.

in years past I looked forward to the sign-off, where Jon would reveal the first ST broadcast, and send us all into fall and winter gently. I get a little choked up, another season gone by, looking forward to next year.
I now find it’s not quite as satisfying as the sign-off last year. I never even thought about it until late on November 1, 2010, and I’ll never forget that one. Probably every time I hear one of these year-end sign-offs.

Its one of those moves that, though I was against it at the time, I couldn't be mad at.
Because there were arguments for both sides.
But in hindsight, as of now, it was pretty much awful.

It seems like

So that has to carry some weight considering the track record with pitchers
RIP 2011 Giants Post Season
I remember Sabes going on record saying that they still thought Wheeler would be good, but they needed a bat.
Of course, you take this with a grain of salt, because it’s Sabes, but it still could be that they just thought Beltran would put them over the top.
As Grant has said at some point, the real moral of this story is be very wary of rentals, because one player can only do so much in two months.

Beltran provided 1.4 rWAR for the Giants. It’s very possible that Wheeler never does that for the Mets.

by BestHyperboleEver on Sep 28, 2011 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I guess it depends on your feelings on whether or not umpires can call their own zone, so to speak.
Which I’m ok with, assuming they’re consistent with it.
Adopted Giant: Mike Fontenot
He's like Grant, but fun size.
Occasionally, I tweet.
I feel like the rulebook explains what the strike zone is, and it’s the umpire’s job to faithfully follow the rules. It isn’t art class.
But maybe that’s just me.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I think the argument can be made for both.
And I certainly wouldn’t be upset if every umpire adopted the same zone.
I’m just operating under the assumption that they won’t do that, so I try not to get too worked up with guys if their zone is consistent and not ridiculous (strikes six inches off the outside because “he hit the catcher between the knees” and the sort)
Adopted Giant: Mike Fontenot
He's like Grant, but fun size.
Occasionally, I tweet.
I would be more forgiving of quirkiness if there was any apparent accountability for umpires. Given that there’s a big gray area where quirky bleeds into ridiculous past a point, I prefer to lean on the rules as written rather than try to draw a distinction from umpire to umpire. The little differences will bleed back in naturally anyway.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Understandable.
For the record, I’m in favor of a replay official reviewing all close plays at the bags, fair foul, and home runs. If there’s gonna be quirkiness, I’d rather it be in the strike zone than on balls in play and the basepaths. Might not be super logical, but players can adjust to a weird zone; they can’t do anything if they get called out incorrectly or robbed of a hit on a blown call down the line.
Adopted Giant: Mike Fontenot
He's like Grant, but fun size.
Occasionally, I tweet.
All very true. Stuff like LHB bleed and pitches called balls because they didn’t hit the target annoy me to no end, though. Pitchers’ and hitters’ jobs are hard enough as it is.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
The hitting the target thing really gets me too.
I specifically remember a game last year against the Padres where Tim Stauffer was getting strike calls on his cutter that weren’t anywhere close to the plate because it tailed a little bit back to the plate and Torrealba was setting up way outside. So frustrating.

Beltran just gave a very classy interview from the clubhouse. I hope there’s a way to bring him back next year if it doesn’t break the bank.
I think the bank is already “broken” in the ownerships’ minds and is why there was a change in managing partner. I honestly don’t see any big FA signings this offseason. Our only hope is that some of the youngsters do amazing things in AFL and winterball, enough to convince SabesBork to play them. Otherwise it’s another year of a couple of over-the-hill one-year FA signings. I think ownership is probably looking to reduce payroll for 2012 especially since the arb guys will be boosting it up.
I also see the Giants wanting to save money in the draft too. MUST BUILD RAINY-DAY FUND!
I’m going to go cry in a corner now.
And what’s really funny is… if they don’t do something before that rainy day comes when it does come… Timmy and Matt are going to remember the lack of offense and look for umbrellas elsewhere.

Same.
His power numbers probably would’ve dropped off a bit in the NL West (his numbers are almost completely power driven .307 OBP), but he would’ve been so much preferable to the crap we trotted out there daily.

OPS+ accounts for park factors.
Check out Catch-28.com, a blog about Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants.
They could have had him from the Twins when he sucked or was hurt . . .
hard to tell that he was going to bounce back — he was that bad.
Don't believe everything you think.
Hey you and i can agree on something
go back to the previous post game if you want my response to your interpretation of what I said/didn’t say.
Sabean blew it big time rushing into Miggy Tejada once Uribe got signed.
Here's something I consider to be weird:
Burrell, Posey and Nate all finished with .756 OPSes. Of the three, Nate had the highest SLG.
Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.
Unsurprising.
Nate had the most home runs. Which in itself is disturbing.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Yeah, that's the weird part
In all the talk about what went wrong this year, all roads seem to lead back to Posey’s injury. Certainly Posey’s injury was a huge blow, particularly given who the backups were, and given that Brian Sabean couldn’t get his brain wrapped around the acquisition of a decent stopgap replacement. But the truth is that Posey wasn’t hitting the way he hit in 2010. And the power was definitely off (.505 in 2010 to .389 this season). True, it was only 162 AB, and it’s not unreasonable to expect that his power numbers would’ve picked up as the season unfolded.
I’m only suggesting here that the Giants’ failure to score runs was not due solely to Posey’s absence.
Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.
don't forget that offense was down this year
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

I don't think he is recognized
even here for how good he was this season. He’d be in the MVP conversation if he had played the whole season. His defense was outstanding and he would have been close to 30 HR and a .310 BA, and the Giants would have probably still been in it going into last nights game.
RIP 2011 Giants Post Season
his year doesn't look as good as 2009 because of the lower OBP
but in the lower run environment he’s been even better. 154 OPS+ this year compared to 144 in 09.
You’re right, his season really has been underrated.

2010 Ryan Zimmerman 147, 17
2004 Scott Rolen 158, 21.2
2004 Adrian Beltre 161, 24.4
2000 Troy Glauss 147, 17
1989 Wad Boggs 141, 19
1982 Doug Decinses 146, 13
1980 Buddy Bell 141, 13
That’s it. A lot of Wad Boggs, George Brett, Paul Molitor, Scott Rolen, Alex Rodriguez seasons not making the cut. No one has done it more than once since 1980 and there was an entire decade that never saw this kind of performance by those measurements.

First off Grant,
thanks once again for the fine work here.
Second, it hurts that Wheeler and Neal are gone, but that’s water under the bridge now.
Third, with Surkamp showing he needs time in AAA to be something more than another Tim Alderson, does this mean that they’ll keep Dirty around for the #5 slot for one more year?

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Regardless of looking at statistics like WAR and whatnot, I’d like to believe that if Posey and F. Sanchez had stayed healthy and Beltran had still been acquired (and stayed healthy as well), the Giants would be in the playoffs right now. (And Pablo had stayed healthy both early in the year and with the shoulder thing late in the year). I know that getting lucky with injuries is part of what is being argued in the post, but assuming that they stayed healthy, Sabean would have constructed a playoff team for the second year in a row.
I don’t know where I’m going with this, but yea, good season. See you in 2012 boys.

What happened to the Red Sox in September definitely makes me feel better about the Giants. If a team that good can collapse in September, it’s hard to be too upset that a less good, more injury riddled Giants team fell apart in August.

they’ve also missed the playoffs two years in a row so it’s further proof that bad things can happen to good franchises.
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Sep 28, 2011 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions
If Buster and Freddy had stayed healthy
there is no way Sabean would have given Wheeler away for two months of Beltran.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Considering we thought that it was ridiculous that he gave up Wheeler for Beltran with the offense in such miserable shape as it was, I wouldn’t be so certain. One could argue that it was less necessary to trade for Beltran in the Giants then current situation than it would have been if Posey and F. Sanchez had stayed healthy.
"If you wanna rock 'n' roll, I got the guitar."
Considering how close we are to the Wild Card
Without a doubt.
However, you’d still have to deal with not having a leadoff hitter, and the whole Huff/Belt fiasco. Plus, w/o injuries Vogelsong would be selling bats right now.

I think the point Kiririn is making
is that there is a reason we aren’t in this thing and the Cards are….the point is there is a reason why we scored the fewest runs in a season since we lost 100 games in 1985. The fact we won 86 games this season is quite amazing. NOW SABES GET FUCKING TO WORK AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!!

If you fill out a lineup using only the Giants highest performers at each position by OPS (with a little flexibility, though I excluded Pill), it tells an interesting story.

That one remains my favorite, but the new Mastodon is if they kidnapped Tony Iommi and Josh Homme, forced them to write an album of catchy as hell accessible metal, and still made it however they wanted.

I can see that (and I respect your patches)
But this isn’t like most of the post rock bullshit that hipsters say. These are lumbering freaks from Georgia who worship the eff out of Neurosis and make what they want.
I’m a huge metal dork myself, particularly over Devin Townsend stuff, but you know, I try to keep it mellow here. The fact remains that the remaining metal community is such a group of spurned not so cool kids who have to trash things like they’re hipsters themselves. It doesn’t matter, Mastodon knocked it out of the effing park like Evan Longoria (because it’s not quite Crack the Skye but at least as good as Leviathan/Blood Mountain)

That wouldn't have been an easy play either.
The pitcher doesn’t get over in time to take the throw, and the same bad knees that prevented Buckner from bending over far enough to field that ball would’ve made a footrace against Mookie Wilson a dicey proposition at best.

Shift-A
Recorded the game and just finished watching.
Season-end thoughts? Bitter and melancholic. It’s not clear what this team could, with the men available to it, have achieved—certainly, there were terrible losses from what was expected to be the roster, but there was also mismanagement, on the field and in the front office, of a magnitude that pretty well beggars the tongue—but it doesn’t seem impossible that with competent management they mightn’t have brought it off anyway. But that’s the past; it’s another country, and only strangers live there.
(Suppose the Giants had Andrew Friedman as GM and Joe Maddon as field manager: what, then, would 2011 have been like?)
And, from what Larry Baer has said about Bochean, things do not look likely to change any time soon.
It’s going to be a long winter. Go Rays.

This is how I feel. It’s hard to blame the injuries when you’ve compounded your problems by not playing the best healthy nine you still have on the roster.
The trade for Orlando Cabrera is something I’ll never get over. It goes down as Michael Tucker-level to me because I just know Sabean sat in his office and put value in the fact that Cabrera had made the playoffs in however many straight years.
Add to that Moneyball coming out a couple months later and the contrast has never been sharper between those that “get it” and those that simply do not.

Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
teams were pitching him away and he was disciplined enough
to hit the ball the other way. Amazing how a young player can do that when we have a 12 year veteran who couldn’t fucking figure that out. Un fucking believable. The book on Goldschmidt (and some teams not named the Giants have it figured out hence his .250 BA), just feed him breaking pitch after breaking pitch. Dude has a hard time hitting the curve ball. He killed us because we were afraid to challenge him after he beat Timmeh a couple of times. He will come back down to earth in 2012 , maybe in 2011 with the quality of pitching usually seen in the playoffs.

I can buy that. And if you’re crazy enough to challenge him with a 92 mph inside fastball, you deserve exactly what you’re going to get.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
I will be interested to see how he does in the playoffs
we clearly did not have a good book on him or we just didn’t execute our pitches. I believe he took Tim deep twice, one pitch was a pretty good pitch down and in and Goldschmidt hit it to dead CF. I think you will see him get a steady diet of off speed pitches and he will struggle in the NLDS and NLCS if the Bags get that far.

And even then, the Yankees took a 7-0 lead. That results in the B-team any day of the week, let alone two days before the playoffs start.

it’s Yom Kippur- you’re atoning for it then so it all equals out. And if not, there’s always next year.

Yes, I dabble in sarcasm.
