2.6K19Casey at the bench: It’s time to move McGehee to the DL
This is a bit overdue, unfortunately. I wanted to post something on what we’re seeing from Casey McGehee last night, but I only had time for this: Casey McGehee has grounded into seven double plays in 13 games. That puts him on pace for 81 GIDP over 150 games. — Bay Area Sports Guy (@BASportsGuy) April […]

3.1K9Maybe we’ll see Bruce Bochy manage more like Ned Yost in 2015
BREAKING: According to sources, the Giants aren’t a powerful team. It’s not like they lost Jose Bautista and Giancarlo Stanton this past offseason, but the 32 home runs provided by Pablo Sandoval and Michael Morse in 2014 sure would come in handy this year — especially with Hunter Pence missing the first couple weeks of the […]

3.0K19Giants’ No. 1 target appears to be Jon Lester, for one obvious reason
Bruce Bochy is in Atlanta to meet with Lester today. #SFGiants — Ahmed Fareed (@AhmedFareedCSN) December 1, 2014 Based on this news, the Giants have gone from kicking the tires on Jon Lester to going full Lionel Messi on his tires. It doesn’t sound all that safe, but leg injuries are far easier to overcome than elbow […]

2.7K10Bochy’s lack of urgency in 6th inning buried Giants in Game 2
Last night’s game was decided in the sixth inning and it is very reasonable to lay a good helping of the blame onto Bruce Bochy. Bochy has rightfully been praised as a great manager, but he had an off night in Game 2. The first questionable decision was leaving Jake Peavy in to face the Royals’ […]

So the Giants and Royals are just lucky? Stop it.
“Interestingly, the Giants and Royals are basically exactly proof of how crazy 5 and 7 games series are (and proof of how wonderful baseball is, assuming you don’t like the best team winning the championship every year like they do in European soccer). You are crazy if you think the Royals or Giants are the […]

3.1K3Bruce Bochy doesn’t seem fully confident in Game 3 and 4 starters
Neither Tim Hudson nor Ryan Vogelsong were at their best in September, but that didn’t seem to matter in the NLDS. They combined to allow just two runs, nine hits and two walks over 13 innings against the Nationals, but it appears that Bruce Bochy isn’t fully sold just yet. 1. Delayed announcement of the […]

Top 10 SF Giants videos to get you fired up for the playoffs
Here we go again, Giants fans. It’s October. It’s an even year. We’re back. Yay. Its been an odd season, to say the least. Odd start. Odd middle. Odd finish. It’s well documented. No need to go into it here. Odd. Tonight’s NL Wild Card game feels odd as well. For one thing, the Giants […]

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 […]

Dodgers beat Giants 17-0, game not as close as score would indicate
Maybe it’s just not meant to be. That’s not a reference to the Giants’ chances of winning the division or advancing in the playoffs — as badly as they were beaten on Saturday night, this will only count as four games in the Pythagorean loss column. No, it’s how we’ve been waiting so many years for […]
