In two weeks 95.7 The Game will add a deeper, slightly raspier voice to their morning show. Starting Monday, March 31st, two-time World Series Champion and former San Francisco Giant Aubrey Huff joins the morning team of Ric Bucher and Chris Townsend. Huff, who retired from baseball in 2013, previously played for the Tampa Bay Devil […]
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 […]
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 […]
People were just about ready to start believing in Tim Lincecum again, after he stuck out Jose Reyes with a high fastball...
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 […]
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 […]
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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
