Monday roundup: a left fielder scorned...
There are three types of baseball fans. Those who completely ignore sabermetrics, those who base their entire set of baseball opinions on sabermetrics, and those who decide who’s good based partly on advanced metrics and partly on what their eyes tell them when watching the games. I count myself...

Predicting Sabean’s inevitable reactionary move
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Bengie Molina, Brian Sabean, Buster Posey, Fred Lewis, Jermaine Dye, John Bowker, Jonathan Sanchez, Mark DeRosa, Matt Cain, Pat Burrell, San Francisco Giants on 05 22nd, 2010 | 4 Comments
Predicting Sabean’s inevitable rea...
There’s no way the Giants’ offensive struggles will keep going on like this, at least not with this group of players. John Bowker may or may not know this (he probably does), but this weekend is a sort of final tryout for him. If he wants to avoid a Fred Lewis-style banishment — and...

Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Brian Sabean, Bruce Bochy, Duane Kuiper, Edgar Renteria, Eugenio Velez, Fred Lewis, Juan Uribe, Pablo Sandoval, Randy Winn, Ryan Garko, San Francisco Giants, Travis Ishikawa on 09 5th, 2009 | No Comments
Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?...
Freddy Sanchez will be back either tomorrow or Monday, and not a moment too soon. The Giants could explode for 10 runs today on national television against Yovani Gallardo, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they’ve scored 5 runs in the first 4 games of their current road trip. The lineup...

Scot McCloughan and Larry Riley, delusional till the end

Scot McCloughan and Larry Riley, delusio...
It’s a world of turmoil around here these days, in the form of missing, mediocre and inevitable transactions. Let’s take a look, shall we? First a warning: these links aren’t for the faint of heart…or are things really not that bad? See for yourself:

Hey Bochy, great win today. Can I have a word?

Enough, Bruce Bochy. E-Freddy-nuff. OK, that’s not fair, since Lewis mercifully didn’t see any part of the starting lineup today. But neither did Nate Schierholtz, and I’m even more pissed than Kellen Winslow two weeks after a Nandrolone cycle. I’d feel like I was just piling...

What the Giants’ lineup should be

What the Giants’ lineup should be...
Ah, baseball. The smell of grass, hot dogs and garlic fries in the air…and the chance to whine about Bruce Bochy’s lineup every day on Extra Baggs and McCovey Chronicles. I’ve never really done it, since I’ve never commented on Baggs’ site and most of my commentary on McCoven...

Giants have some goofy-looking starting pitchers

Ah, daytime baseball on a weekday. A time for a man to examine his surroudings, breathe in the fresh air of his apartment living room, and wonder how on earth the Giants have compiled a group of starters who are the baseball equivalent of the early-2000′s Sacramento Kings. Barry Zito would play...

Lincecum wins, Lincepom gets robbed

Lincecum wins, Lincepom gets robbed...
You got to hand it to the Giants’ marketing team. Not like it’s really hard to sell tickets to a Tim Lincecum game anyway, but you just know it has to warm the cockles of Larry Baer’s heart to know that approximately 650 of the 42,694 tickets sold to tonight’s game were purchased...

What did Brian Sabean expect?

What did Brian Sabean expect?...
This isn’t the first time Brian Sabean has vented publicly about the ineptitude of his players, but it might be one of the last. Yesterday, after the Giants finished off one of their weakest offensive road trips since Candlestick Park had Astroturf, Sabean was downright ageist, courtesy of Andrew...

Giants’ magic number is now 6

Giants’ magic number is now 6...
One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...
