Mid-season Progress Report: Can the Giants repeat their first half success?
It is the traditional midpoint (even if it isn’t the mathematical midpoint) of the season, which means there is no better time to give both Bay Area teams progress reports. Earlier today, I looked at the A’s, and now it is time to take a look at what the Giants have done. Offense: The Giants offense hasn’t […]

And the winners of two pairs of Giants tickets are…
There was a game last night, and from all accounts a pretty good one. I didn’t see it because I’m in San Diego, where I parked my car at Qualcomm Stadium at 6 am this morning to try to find my wife so I could cheer her on while she ran a half-marathon. After getting […]

Tim Lincecum: still not a quality starter in 2012
People were just about ready to start believing in Tim Lincecum again, after he stuck out Jose Reyes with a high fastball...

Buster Posey gets distance-robbed, Melky Cabrera may be too good for the Giants to sign
438 feet. At least 30 feet above the 400-ft sign in centerfield, Buster Posey’s home run clanged off the scoreboard. Even though the ball wasn’t high high enough to scrape the roof, meaning its trajectory wasn’t vertical, Posey’s homer would’ve only traveled 38 feet past that dark blue wall. 38 feet. Less than the distance […]

What’s wrong with Tim Lincecum?
Tim Lincecum struck out the side in the first inning with a walk mixed in. In the second inning, after Daric Barton ran the count to 3-1, Lincecum struck him out on an 84 mph changeup that brought to mind the 2010 postseason. Lincecum looked as good as he has all year until Jemile Weeks […]

Coming soon: Aubrey Huff, starting first baseman
The first question of this morning’s edition of “Disabled List Chat, with Bruch Bochy” was about how nice it must be to face a string of right-handed starting pitchers so Brandon Belt could get some regular playing time. While the San Francisco Giants manager didn’t exactly disagree, his comments made it sound like the “#FreeBelt” […]

Giants suffer their ‘worst night’ with RISP, according to Bochy
This was the kind of San Francisco Giants loss we’re all used to. Madison Bumgarner pitched pretty well but got nothing in the way of support or luck; Buster Posey had 3 hits; the team walked zero times instead of 10. Those 10 walks last night led to a game that took 213 minutes to […]

Walks on walks on walks … and a loss for the Giants
The San Francisco Giants made 3 errors in the same game for the seventh time this season. That didn’t help. The Giants walked 10 times, which I’m pretty sure is the amount of walks they accumulated in their previous 35 games combined. I’m not sure about that, though. Better check with @SFG_Stats. None of the […]

The San Francisco Giants and their supposed leadership void
With the San Francisco Giants unable to break free from their .500 prison, people are looking for answers. The manager creates each lineup by playing “Bochy Boggle,” where he shakes the names around a plastic container in hopes of more points runs. The defense? Dreadful. The players? Fragile. There have been some rousing moments and excellent […]

Giants give Clayton Kershaw the 2-1 treatment
Last season, the score “2-1” became symbolic of all the San Francisco Giants’ problems. About 98% of that (completely accurate) perception of the team came from three of Clayton Kershaw’s five victories over the Giants coming in games that ended with that exact score. In September Kershaw led the Dodgers to 2-1 victories over the […]
