2.6K15Washington Times columnist refers to Michael Morse as “dumb,” gets Morse’s stats completely wrong
I don’t make a habit of reading the Washington Times, and I’m generally distrustful of anyone who goes by “Thom.” But neither of those things stopped me from clicking on one of the worst columns I’ve ever read. Thom Loverro, a writer whose story titled “Nats much better off with Michael Morse gone” starts with “ANALYSIS/OPINION,” seems to have […]

1.7KGiants stay hot, come back from 3-run deficit to beat Marlins
Just like Wednesday afternoon, the Giants fell behind early. Just like Wednesday afternoon, they slugged their way out of trouble. Thursday’s night’s result was a 6-4 win for the Giants, who currently hold the best record in the National League. Even with San Francisco playing so well lately, early on this game looked like it would end up like so […]

2.0K3Morse and Pagan both go yard, Giants win 2-1 in Atlanta
The following sentence could sound pretty funny in September, but at this point the risk is unavoidable and worthwhile. The Giants’ best offensive players are Angel Pagan and Michael Morse. They were the two best hitters before they left for Atlanta, and both came through with home runs in a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. […]

2.6K5Michael Morse and E-40 get photobombed, and it’s awesome
Either the Giants got out of Denver really quickly, Michael Morse flew home immediately after he was lifted from today’s game, or this photo with Vallejo legend E-40 was taken a few days ago (or some other time). Bay Area Unite @E40 pic.twitter.com/jg3uZQwWnl — Double M’s (@Mcode38) April 24, 2014 There’s a nickname for Sergio […]

2.6K3Play Ball Lunch turns into Roast of Jeremy Affeldt
The people from the Giants Community Fund and Junior Giants were nice enough to invite me to today’s Play Ball Lunch at the Hilton near Union Square. Even though we donated money to Junior Giants last year from our “Marty Lurie Bingo” game at the Public House, and even with all the radio ads where […]

Vogelsong scraps new mechanics and reaps benefits, Susac shines in tie with Rangers
For Ryan Vogelsong, this was more like it. He struggled mightily in his last outing, an 18-3 bludgeoning at the hands of the Seattle Mariners. In Thursday night’s 4-4 tie with the Texas Rangers, Vogelsong showed all the qualities the Giants have come to prize over the last few years. He battled, which should sound […]

2.8K1Talkin’ photos with Buster Posey
Right before the Giants left the clubhouse (half the team went to Surprise to play the Rangers, the other half stayed in Scottsdale to practice), I walked over to Buster Posey’s locker and mentioned the subject of my post from a couple days ago. I was surprised Posey responded as enthusiastically as he did (he […]

2.7K2Tim Lincecum just looks different somehow
A year ago, everything about Tim Lincecum seemed almost manic in Scottsdale. Maybe that’s too harsh. A better word might be “anxious” or “antsy.” On the field, everyone was obsessing over his radar gun numbers, which fluctuated throughout the Spring from “better than expected” to “are the baseballs a few ounces heavier tonight?” In the […]

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 […]
