3.5K4Buster Posey hits walk-off HR to cap milestone night for Tim Hudson and Bruce Bochy
It’s not quite accurate to say Buster Posey is carrying the Giants, even over the last two games. Madison Bumgarner, Tim Hudson and a host of other contributors have helped the Giants keep this series from turning into flaming wreckage. But the Giants wouldn’t have scored without Posey’s two home runs last night, and tonight […]

3.8K13Bumgarner (one-hitter) and Posey (two homers) come through when Giants needed them most
Jinxes don’t exist, but I feel kind of guilty after how tonight went. Generally it’s standard practice to keep conversations on Twitter’s direct message feature private, but I’m guessing @LOLKNBR won’t mind in this case. Madison Bumgarner has just retired the side in order, giving him six perfect innings. The nervous energy I get when I know […]

2.6K3Giants blow another lead, get swept by Rockies
We don’t have Sergio Romo and Angel Pagan to kick around this time. Instead the Rockies torched Juan Gutierrez mostly, then got the dagger hit against Javier Lopez. Throw in some shaky defense from the middle infielders, and the Giants found themselves on the losing end once again. This wasn’t just a sweep against the […]

2.6K4Romo blows second save in less than 24 hours as Pagan’s misplay leads to inside-the-park HR
After Sunday’s Tim Hudson-led win over the Mets, Bruce Bochy was honest: “No, there’s nothing I can complain about.” This game has a painful way of evening things out. “It’s baseball,” Bruce Bochy said. “So many good things have happened to us, we’ve made some good comebacks. We’ve hit a bump in the road, so it’s going […]

3.5K2Giants/Rockies game suspended, Pence’s unorthodox HR swing, Posey being cranky, Morse vs. “Morris”
This game started off in ridiculously boring fashion, but that wasn’t all. There was also an hour-plus rain delay, and before that delay it appeared as if the umpires had spent the time between Tuesday night’s game and Wednesday’s first pitch huffing computer duster. Then there was another delay, and then the game was suspended. So […]

3.1K4Giants in tough spot after two injuries to pitchers (including one that was completely avoidable)
A day earlier, Colorado enjoyed a walk-off win in a game that left Giants fans and announcers upset with the Rockies’ MVP, mascot and official scorer. After a 5-1 win on Tuesday, the Giants are upset at themselves. Three impressive home runs, just one run allowed to the home team at Coors, and arguably the best double play […]

3.2K4Giants lose at Coors Field in “this is not good, folks” fashion
If the Giants had to do it all over again, they might have voted against National League expansion in 1993. Or, since they’ve changed ownership groups since all that was decided, they’d love to send someone back in time to convince Bob Lurie and Co. to really dig their heels in. Just tell them the truth: the Florida franchise won’t […]

Giants hit 6 HRs, Sanchez grand slam wins it in 11th
There was no way the Giants were leaving Denver without Coors Field raising a concrete and steel covered hand and asking, “Forget about me?” The Giants played poorly enough to lose anywhere on Monday, and yesterday’s game went pretty normally … other than it being a 2-1 game with three homers. The Giants won 12-10 today in […]

Giants squander solid Bumgarner start, are officially in a teamwide mega-slump
This game represented my day pretty darned well. Over the last few days I stayed at my wife’s aunt’s house while covering the Warriors in Los Angeles. She’s in France, so I was there alone with her dog. Taking care of the dog wasn’t that hard, except she clearly preferred to do her business inside […]

2014 MLB Predictions
I hadn’t planned on doing this, but after Marty Lurie asked me for some baseball predictions on Saturday — you can listen to my segment here — I figured it’d make sense to go through with this incredibly unique and revolutionary sports journalism process. Sometimes you’ve got to think outside the box, go out on […]

ZiPS Projections: the NL West hitters
Now that the start of the season is within view (some teams pitchers and catchers have already reported!!!) I thought it would be nice to take a little bit of time and take a look at how the teams in the NL West compare to each other. The ZiPS projections for the Giants came out […]
