2.7KGiants somehow didn’t lose their seventh in a row
This was either a pivotal moment or the first lucky outing for Sergio Romo in quite a while. With runners on second and third, the Giants held a 6-4 lead with two outs in the ninth. Romo was on the mound, and Bruce Bochy came out to have a conversation. It wasn’t difficult to determine […]

Giants lose again, prove Krukow’s theory of ownage
The Giants dropped their sixth straight Friday night, losing 4-1 to the Diamondbacks. Tim Lincecum had an uncharacteristically solid first three innings, but ended up surrendering four runs before departing after the sixth inning. Giants hitters worked counts and put runners on base early, pushing Arizona starter Josh Collmenter’s pitch count to 109 in just five innings […]

3.3K5Giants come back again, win opening series in AZ
After Tim Lincecum’s otherwise fine 2014 debut was tarnished by a pair of two-run home runs over six innings, the Giants came back to win 8-5, thanks to a dinger-laden late-game rally. The Giants got a solo homer in the seventh from pinch-hitter Brandon Hicks, and Angel Pagan capped a five-run eighth with a home […]

Barry Zito, Gregor Blanco help Giants pick up where they left off in Miami
The San Francisco Giants didn’t play the exact same game on Memorial Day that they did on Sunday, but from a distance it looked that way. Solid performances by the starting pitchers, an offensive spark caused predominantly from the outfielders, and a low-scoring game resulting in a win. Dig a little deeper and surprising things […]

So far, it’s been the Year of Cain
All spring, it was about Matt Cain. Sure, we were monitoring the progress of injured Giants like Buster Posey, Brian Wilson and Freddy Sanchez, and there was the issue of figuring out the roster, but Cain’s contract discussions were of greatest concern throughout March. In Cain’s first start of the season, six days after signing […]

Giants make statement in AZ: “We’re still trying to figure out this ‘baseball’ thing.”
Bruce Bochy was MAD today. You think you were upset, complaining on Twitter about Brandon Crawford’s defense or Jeremy Affeldt’s contract. Bochy...
