We’ve got 7 games right out of the blocks that should quell the swell of enthusiasm for the Giants big move on the last wild card spot. Milwaukee AND Colorado. This should actually be very interesting. The Giants have played better on the road this year than at home. But The Brewers are better than we are and Sherpa Town always sucks for us. Regardless, there can be no more long losing streaks this season. It starts right now and continues on through September. Play .700 ball.

Let’s see if they can do that.

I’d be happy with .500. Recent streak of 15 wins out of last 25 is one thing; extending good baseball over another couple months before call ups would be different. The NL features quite a number of .500 teams including Cards we just beat. If Giants can elevate themselves from “last guaranteed” into that group it would be an accomplishment.

Bergman took a bad-hop rocket off his chin yesterday. Juiced balls are tough for infielders playing defense.

Speaking of freak accidents:
“BOURNEMOUTH, England – A retired jockey died when she fell onto an eco-friendly metal drinking straw which impaled her eye, an inquest heard.”
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 7:53 am
  
  “Elena Struthers-Gardner, 60, who was known as “Lena,” suffered brain injuries in the accident at her home in Broadstone, England.
  She was carrying a mason-jar style drinking glass with a screw-top lid in her kitchen when she collapsed. The 10-inch stainless steel straw entered her left eye socket and pierced her brain.
  Her death has led to a coroner warning that metal drinking straws should never be used with a lid that fixes them in place, and “great care should be taken” while using them.”

Facebook is blowing up with the enthusiasm of Giants fans regarding being “only” 5.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. They’re not realizing how difficult it will be to pass 8 teams. It’s not impossible, just very difficult.

  Good…that owner is susceptible to public influence!!!
willedav said, on July 12, 2019 at 8:26 am

the initial signings by Z were quite bad. Supposedly he was surprised by how bad lot of Giants looked in ST and got caught trying to fix things at last minute for opening day. But Solarte Parra Kratz (Kratz!) and other crummy Cs he signed plus the 2 kid rejects from other teams, everyone looked awful. This definitely did contribute to poor Giants start and their overall record, along with pitching.
Current group has turned things around and is quite more interesting, pitching included.
- alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 8:42 am
  
  Agree Willied,Zman tinkered enough that he found enough decent combinations both facing left handed pitching and right handed, and the bench is one of the best overall in baseball, and when’s the last time they could say that?

Yeah, that’s classic TF. 🙂
zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 9:30 am

Not to beat a dead horse, but it would be interesting to interview all the nerds who calculate WAR, and ask about certain players’ scores. The people at Baseball-Reference, FanGraphs, and Baseball Prospectus take their WAR calculations very seriously. They know GMs, and Hall of Fame voters, consider WAR as a factor.
unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 9:34 am

Well, Joe = Jones. Nothing wrong there.
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 10:21 am
  
  You don’t understand my point, so I’ll give up trying on that.
unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 9:36 am

If the replacement is Joe/Parra/Mac the Oaf/Reed/Althrrrrr, then Jones WAR here should be 5.0.
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 10:22 am
  
  You seem to not understand WAR at all, so no point in discussing it with you.
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 10:30 am
    
    This does amuse me:
    2019 WAR so far:
    Jones 0.1
    Parra 0.6
  - Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 10:35 am
    
    and do you see how stupid that is?
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 10:48 am
    
    I don’t see it that way. It makes me curious why they rate them that way. I might ultimately eventually have disagreement with them on some ratings, but I do know they take their ratings deathly seriously. I know they factor in defense in a way that you’re very skeptical of. Fair point.
    But if it’s all just stupid, why does the industry as a whole still value that metric? Wouldn’t it have been laughed out of town by now?
  - Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 11:08 am
    
    i’m not saying WAR isn’t useful. It is. But like all metrics, especially newer ones, there are flaws in them. When you see Parra more highly rated than Jones that’s an example of that. Same as when you see Longo, who was playing like absolutely shit when I noted he had the highest WAR on the team. He playing better now but that isn’t what is WAR was reflecting. It was reflecting his value up to that point in the seaon
  - unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 11:35 am
    
    If you can’t explain how Parra rates higher than Jones, then you don’t understand it either.
  - unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 11:39 am
    
    Wins and losses used to be the be-all-end-all stat for pitchers. That went out of favor and ERA was considered more and more.Now WHIP is highly touted. The point being, stats come and go in and out of favor.
    
    GWRBI used to be a thing. WAR may go the way of the dodo.
  - xoot said, on July 12, 2019 at 5:00 pm
    
    WHIP is probably the best stat of all because it’s so simple and useful. No contortion whatsoever. WAR couldn’t be more complicated. Seems useful as a quick-look summary for what happened over 1/2 a season, a full season, several seasons, etc. There’s a wikipedia page devoted to explaining WAR (including the differences between BRef’s WAR and Fangraphs WAR). Not all that interesting, really.

I just learned first hand that social media can sometimes be a wonderful thing. After dealing with numerous Southwest customer service reps, who no fault to them, were powerless in trying to help me out, I decided to take to Twitter. To my amazement, a Southwest social media person immediately reached out to me. Long story short, they made a change to my reservation that was impossibille to get done via conventional methods and ultimately saved me nearly $2000. They listened to reason and did the right thing, which today is pretty damn rare.

unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 11:44 am

Wow. I’m a little shocked to realize I’m older than Doc Gooden.

And a little more shocked to hear Doc is still doing bumps. At 54? Snort ’em if you got ’em, eh?
unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 11:51 am

Zumie, my contention with WAR is they aren’t basing it on OUR replacement players.

They base it on some abstract ‘common replacement player’ metric. Ours were uncommonly bad.

Because you are saying that, based on WAR, Jones would not provide any help to a team that got nothing out of LF for the first month of the season.

OK, let’s put it this way. If Kokomo had put up Jones’ hitting numbers through the first month of the season, do you think the Giants would have more wins?
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:37 pm
  
  I need to clarify- I fully agree the Giants outfield was lousy the vast majority of the first half of the season.
  All I’m saying is that WAR is suggesting you’re over-rating the difference Jones would have made up to now, had he been a starter the whole first half. Sure, he was pretty hot the first couple of months of the season and would have contributed to wins, but he cooled off after that and would have contributed to losses, had his SF production matched his D-Back production, which it likely wouldn’t have, given the ballpark difference.
  You said not signing Adams “pisses you off.” I just don’t have near that kind of emotion about it. I had really low expectations for this season and am fully onboard with a tear-down rebuild.
  It just seems to me really early to be pissed off at Zaidi. Just my opinion. Hey, that’s what baseball blogs are for. 🙂
Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:25 pm

The bottom line: nobody here understands or can explain how War is calculated. That alone disqualifies all of us from using to support a point. My experience with people who get jazzed up about WAR is that it makes them feel more academic than other baseball fans (I’m not accusing zumiee of that he seems to like totally about it to get a reaction, nothing wrong with that)
Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:26 pm

Using it not totally about, sorry on my pH
zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:47 pm

Well, I’m assuming OPS+ is a big factor in WAR. OPS+ tries to adjust for the player’s home ballpark. 100 is considered average. Jones is at 92.

I use WAR to try to show where Zaidi is coming from. He and the other 29 GMs use metrics like WAR and OPS+.
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:50 pm
  
  I doubt Sabean and Evans used a lot of the new metrics. Their approach worked great until it didn’t anymore. They were now getting out-played by the new GMs.
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:58 pm
    
    From Wikipedia:
    
    Baseball Reference uses six components to calculate WAR for position players:
    The components are batting runs, baserunning runs, runs added or lost due to grounding into double plays in double play situations, fielding runs, positional adjustment runs, and replacement level runs (based on playing time). The first five factors are compared to league average, so a value of 0 represents an average player.
    
    Batting runs depends on weighted Runs Above Average (wRAA), weighted to the offense of the league, and is calculated from wOBA.
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:07 pm
    
    Also weighted for home ballpark.
    It’s amazing that Giants hitters’ WAR would be even lower if their WAR wasn’t bumped up a bit for playing in their home ballpark.
alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:53 pm

Trade proposal,
Cardinals prospect Dylan Carlson,Switch hitting outfielder who can play all 3 spots for Will Smith? Other pieces maybe needed, but this kid’s a player in Zman’s think tank..
djloo27 said, on July 12, 2019 at 12:59 pm

There was a guy on the Splash (possibly Ed Goodson in Exile?) that was obsessed with a stat called “Bases Occupied”. It’s available on BR but I never hear anyone use it.
I also have no idea WTF it is…
- alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:11 pm
  
  I know what toliet occupied means..
  - djloo27 said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:18 pm
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:12 pm
  
  For pitching or hitting, I wonder.
  For hitting it could possibly refer to RBI chances. TF was one of the first I heard downplaying RBIs as a stat. Said it greatly depended on other guys getting on base. It drives older fans nuts to see RBIs lose status as a stat.
zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:16 pm

I remember at one point somebody on the Flap (maybe me) bemoaning all the new stats and metrics, and TF said: “It’s only going to keep growing.” He was absolutely right.
- Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:37 pm
  
  I mean, that wasn’t exactly a longshot call.
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:45 pm
    
    True, but it still boggles my mind sometimes the way it keeps growing.
  - zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:48 pm
    
    And in basketball, too. It’s really changed the game. It drove me nuts this season seeing some guys on 3-on-2 fastbreaks fanning out to the 3 point line. I will never ever accept that.
  - alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:57 pm
    
    Maybe, But when it comes out of the “All and Powerful Twin’s mouth”all of us desciples of his could only bow in his almighty presence as mere “Dickwads”from his constant wrath of never being wrong…
unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 1:48 pm

Right. And this was before launch angles and batted ball MPH and the like. My reasoning for being pissed about not making the move for Jones is pretty obvious. Moreso in hindsight. It would have been a simple cheap move that would have paid off. Our OF has been awful these past couple seasons and starting out with 2 completely overmatched guys wasn’t very smart and it led to the revolving clubhouse door that the players have bitched about all year.

Would Jones blocking Yaz really matter? No. Yaz is 29. Slater? Not really. He’s 26. It’s not like George Foster is waiting in the wings.

SHAKE YOUR MEMORY MAKER VOLUME 2
7/11/19
Morning walk with Buster down to Pt. Fermin Lighthouse City Park.
Beautiful spot jutting out on a cliff, maybe 150 feet above the ocean.
Some of you might recall the story of USC kicker Mario Danelo mysteriously falling to his death in this area after a long night of drinking…..just days after winning the National Championship. 10 years ago or so. Not difficult to picture that happening. In some points, if you step over the railing you are in immediate danger of taking a fatal fall.
I have finally accepted that more golf probably ain’t in the cards for me on this trip. Riding a bike feels ok though, so I have been utilizing the bike rental station in the area and that has been fun. They even have some bikes that give you an electric boost as you pedal. I rode down to the San Pedro Fish Market, which is pretty touristy, but does have a nice view of the harbor and you can buy a piece of fish at the market and then take it over to have it seasoned as you like and grilled right before your eyes. I picked out a nice piece of halibut and it was pretty damn good with grilled bell peppers, onions, and potatoes.
Trev pulled up just as I got back and I showed him the local sights. We then drove to The Underground, a bar in Hermosa Beach that was once owned by soccer stud George Best and is now owned by a college friend of mine. Had a pint and played shuffleboard. T had an outstanding Club Sando.
Then up to Playa Del Rey where Matt left us a key to his place. I gave myself a summer buzz haircut using Matt’s kit and we shot the breeze with Matt and his roommates as they came home. I took the boys out for an all inclusive meal at an Italian place. Lots of food and drink and laughter. Ran up a pretty good tab, but it was worth it.
We spent the night at Matt’s place.

“starting out with 2 completely overmatched guys”

He took a chance that they wouldn’t be overmatched. I’m OK with that. Clearly you aren’t.
I hope he continues to take bold chances. He did eventually put together a decent outfield and bench. Maybe too late for this season. We’ll see.
As for the players bitching, they all sucked other than Smith, so I don’t know that they had the right to be bitching.
alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 2:11 pm

I have a hunch Panik’s getting dealt.
He’s a real disappointment to me.
I thought he had 18/75/.290 potential.
Some here thought he had a batting crown in him.
Maybe he still does – in another town…
- alleykat69 said, on July 12, 2019 at 3:24 pm
  
  I sadly admit it.Panik usually puts the bat on the ball like a Wade Boggs swing, unfortunately he didn’t turn out to be Boggs, who like Tony Gwynn was a magician with a bat in their hands..
- Flavor said, on July 12, 2019 at 4:25 pm
  
  I never thought he’d win a batting crown. Too slow and really he doesn’t do anything exceptional with the bat.

zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 3:45 pm

At some point in the next year or so, the Giants will have to get serious about Joey Bart coming to the big club. Belt seems the likeliest to go. It opens up first base for Posey.
- zumiee said, on July 12, 2019 at 3:47 pm
  
  Because Posey is pretty untradeable. Posey may need a platoon partner at first base. Maybe Sandoval.
- unca_chuck said, on July 12, 2019 at 4:03 pm
  
  Odds are it’s Bart that goes to 1st. I see he hasn’t played there though. Posey has a death grip on the catcher position.
  
  Shout out to Jack O’Boy (in the middle), my niece’s son. He’s playing summer ball for the Alaska Glacier Pilots in the Alaska Summer Baseball League. Sophomore catcher who plays college ball for UC Davis. You can obviously see he gets his good looks from his mom’s uncle. . .

Way to fuck things up Moronta,from a Anderson possible win to now your own possible loss.,

how the hell do you gain that much weight in five days (and lose your balance and timing, too)? Zaidi’s gonna have a hard time trading him now. 😉

Aurilla and Santiago could be 2????

  Those are 2…will take a super duper Giant fan to get this next one. Hint…he threw me a ball coming off the field at a Giants-Nats game at RFK while sticking my Giants hat on my 5 year old and holding him up. He throws it right at me and I muff the one handed catch, rolls down the aisle and this woman picks it up and starts celebrating…motherfucker!!! Obvious it was for my kid…

Dead Red Heater as Crawdddy Bombs it out!!!
2 bombs of Hader, unheard of, and now he just threw 25 pitches, and probably out tomorrow a win win!! Brewers pretty stupid to use him for 6 out saves imo..

The Brew Crew may be looking for a closer.
