3.1K8SF Giants NLCS Roster, and 5 questions about this Giants-Cardinals rematch of sorts
The only change in the San Francisco Giants 25-man roster from the NLDS to the NLCS version is the addition of Michael Morse and no more Gary Brown. So team speed takes a bit of a hit, except the only decent hitter on the team who the Giants really would’ve considered replacing with a pinch runner […]

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 […]

A Giants win unlike any other: patience, defense and run support for Cain
Those win-probability charts are all the rage these days. They’re generally based off far too many numbers, statistics and trends for one human mind to assimilate without the aid of a computer.

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 […]
