3.2K10Sanchez’s uncertain future could delay Posey position change
It started with a tweet from Henry Schulman during Sunday’s loss in Kansas City: Posey to 3B, Susac catching in ’15? No argument here, but Posey has to be sold. #sfgiants. — Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) August 10, 2014 It continued on the Giants’ off day with an interesting column by Tim Kawakami dealing with the possibility of Buster […]

I’m told that Susac is on way to the ball park as call up…great young man..northern Cal..OSU..go to my page @KNBR for his recent interview — marty lurie (@baseballmarty) July 26, 2014 Sanchez suffered […]

3.1K1Bumgarner comes through, Pence hits 3-run double in 9th and makes Papelbon look even angrier than usual
This game was the story of two starting pitchers facing drastically different challenges, and a right fielder bludgeoning his former team with a blooper. It ended with a brash closer looking especially sour as the Giants won their third straight game in Philadelphia, a 3-1 triumph where all four runs were scored in the ninth inning. Madison […]

3.2K4Giants lose 3-2, concussion sends Belt to DL, just say NO TO PIERZYNSKI
In April and May, when the Giants season seemed like one long montage set to “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang, you couldn’t go more than a couple days without hearing how the lineup was so deep. So much longer than before. Hey buddy, don’t sleep on those guys at the bottom of the lineup. […]

2.9K1“Location Day”: a by-the-numbers look at Tim Lincecum’s second no-hitter
“I didn’t feel like my stuff was great. I think more it was down. I was getting the ground balls that I needed and the weak pop flies, kind of living off that. I didn’t feel like it was a stuff day. I just felt like it was a location day.” — Tim Lincecum after […]

2.8K5Tim Lincecum is “gonna party” after no-hitting the Padres for the second time in less than a year
After last night’s loss, Bruce Bochy called out the collective performance of the starting rotation as the “biggest issue right now through this tough stretch.” That wasn’t the case on Wednesday afternoon, as Tim Lincecum tossed his second no-hitter in less than a calendar year against the Padres. Lincecum threw 148 pitches in last year’s no-hitter […]

Giants notes: Cain’s bullpen cut short, ironman Morse could get a break soon, Lopez’s “cranky” arm
The San Francisco Giants are riding high right now, so there aren’t a lot of questions or complaints about the on-field product. But they entered the season with depth concerns, so Bruce Bochy’s pregame media sessions often focus on health questions. That will probably continue all season long. Managing 25 personalities isn’t easy, and keeping 25 guys […]

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 […]

4.5K1Hector Sanchez’s walk-off hit beats Dodgers in 12th
We didn’t get to see Santiago Casilla hit. The Giants left the bases loaded three times. A whole lot of people are going to be either late for work on Wednesday morning or next to useless on the job due to this game. But the Giants beat the Dodgers in 12 innings by a score […]

3.8KGiants Bullpen hijinks: Romo’s secret handshake, protein shake basketball and the rock/paper/scissors champion
One year ago I was posting photos of Jeremy Affeldt throwing sunflower seeds at Billy Hayes in the visitors’ bullpen at Dodger Stadium. Affeldt is making rehab appearances for the Fresno Grizzlies these days, but his absence only meant more camera time for Santiago Casilla. Casilla is known as the eighth inning guy, and that’s mostly it. […]

2.9K310 takeaways from Giants Spring Training
I’m back in San Francisco after watching a ridiculous number of baseball games that don’t count, including one that REALLY didn’t count, the Giants vs. the “futures” team. Of the Cactus League games I saw that didn’t count in a traditional sense, the Giants finished 7-6-1. But Spring Training isn’t about records, it’s about staying […]
