3.0K2Giants roster decisions: Three are (or were) fairly easy, one is very difficult
1. Backup Catcher (easier decision than we thought) Hector Sanchez vs. Andrew Susac probably wasn’t as difficult a decision as most would think. Susac has the opportunity to be one of the top 15 catchers in Major League Baseball, but he wasn’t going to improve all that much as the guy who caught once or twice each […]

3.7K2From vets to rookies, Giants feel confident heading into familiar territory: an elimination game
“We don’t need no easy (expletive) road. We get to play an extra (expletive) game. It doesn’t matter how you get from A to B, our goal at the beginning of this (expletive) season is to win a (expletive) World Series. And guess what, boys! We’re going to the (expletive) dance!” — Hunter Pence You […]

Projecting the Giants postseason roster
Assuming the Giants make the postseason, here’s my roster projection. They’ll probably need to win a Wild Card “play-in” game against the Pirates just to make it to the NLDS, unless they somehow overtake the Dodgers. The Cubs aren’t helping the Giants in their series against the Dodgers so far, and the Giants can’t sleep […]

2.6K2Giants come back from 6-0 deficit, rout listless Rockies 12-7
All at once, the Rockies showed the Giants the downtrodden team the rest of the National League has enjoyed facing throughout the season. Even though the Giants took three straight against Colorado last week, the Giants only scored 13 runs in that four-game series. Colorado fought hard over yesterday’s 12 innings, and took a 6-0 lead tonight. With […]

4.1KPeavy and Ishikawa lead Giants to victory, just like Sabean and Bochy planned it all along
The Giants needed a game like this. After the debacle that was last night, when a 15-minute cloudburst turned into a four-hour rain delay and a loss, and a protest (more on that later), everyone associated with the Giants needed a game like this — the players, the coaches, the broadcasters, the fans, and especially […]

3.1K10Sanchez’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 […]

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 […]
