2.9KGiants come back to beat Rockies, lose Lincecum, gain new starting catcher
The Giants fell behind 3-0 early. After San Francisco tied the game with a three-run rally in the third inning, the Rockies took a 5-3 lead the very next inning. With the way Colorado has spanked the Giants so far this season, it looked like another Giants losing streak was on its way. Instead, the […]

2.5K1Giants starters answered some rotation questions this week
Just for fun, I’m going to write something that’ll piss off the Small Sample Size Police Dept. Because if you can’t piss off the uber-correctors, the people who get joy from being better at staring at numbers than everyone else and letting the world know, then what is the point in maintaining a regional sports […]

3.9K22Giants draft next Tim Lincecum in first round (maybe … in a sense)
The San Francisco Giants selected Phil Bickford with the 18th overall pick in the first year player draft. Bickford was drafted 10th overall in 2013 by the Blue Jays, and after not signing with Toronto he went to NCAA baseball powerhouse Cal State Fullerton. After wrecking shop in the Cape Cod League to the point where he decided […]

3.3K4Giants on a roll, put Dodgers to sleep
Tim Lincecum passed Carl Hubbell to move into fourth on the All-Time Giants strikeout list. With seven shutout innings in a 4-0 win over the Dodgers, he ran his scoreless innings streak at home to 22 innings. Ho-hum. I’ve mentioned this already this season, but one of the best parts about Lincecum being good again (his […]

3.0K6Giants are in surprisingly good shape, considering
The good news just keeps on coming for the San Francisco Giants. What’s good today? Casey McGehee is out of this morning’s lineup after grounding into his 12th double play last night in the Giants’ 11-2 throttling of the Reds. Sorry, I kid poor Casey, who I think will come out of this awful stretch […]

2.7K9Hey, Tim Lincecum is interesting again
Who knows what it means from a guy who looked like the best pitcher in baseball for a month-long stretch a little less than a year ago, but when Tim Lincecum pitches well, you watch. Period. Lincecum has a scoreless streak that reached 15 innings with six shutout frames during the Giants’ 6-0 win over the […]

2.6K9Giants’ weaknesses on full display in loss to L.A.
It’s way too early to look at the Giants’ record (8-12 after Monday night’s 8-3 loss to the Dodgers) and project a .400 winning percentage throughout the entire season. Buster Posey’s slugging percentage won’t be under .350 all year, either. A 20-game sample isn’t all that telling in baseball, unless it’s the postseason. Yet if the […]

2.7K21Thanks to Maxwell heroics and Lincecum double plays, Giants rout Dodgers 6-2
There is no such thing as a “must win” game in April, but losing Tuesday night’s game would’ve been rough. And it wasn’t the standings as much as the idea that they would’ve lost 10 of their last 11, including seven of their first eight home games, with Clayton Kershaw taking the mound the next night. […]

3.0K11Giants’ rotation is what we thought it was (except not really at all)
The Giants owe a debt of gratitude to Clayton Kershaw, both for keeping their business model (“We’re the opposite of the A’s, because our shit works in the playoffs”) looking golden and calming everyone down about Madison Bumgarner. I’ll admit it: Bumgarner’s shortest outing in years against the Padres would’ve looked a lot worse (to […]

3.7K9San Francisco Giants Spring Training Portrait Day
Do you remember school portrait day? Mom yelling at you to comb your hair and tuck in your shirt. Maybe she even laid out a hideous new outfit for you to wear. For boys, it was something with a collar. Striped or plaid with a top button designed to cut off your windpipe. Corduroy pants. Maybe even […]
