3.2K4Giants score 10 unanswered runs to win Game 4, World Series now knotted at two games apiece
Long seasons, short memories. Giants fans should know as well as anybody that deficits — whether in games or series — can be overcome during the postseason. Yet lessons are easily forgotten when the team isn’t hitting and the Royals are scoring runs using what are supposed to be the Giants’ preferred methods. But there’s a […]

3.0K11Giants come back from three runs down to take 3-1 NLCS lead over Cardinals
It’s humbling for just about everyone but the Giants themselves, as predicting what’ll happen in this series is impossible. The Cardinals certainly figured they would’ve picked up a game at AT&T by now. Juan Perez is drawing walks in playoff games, and Giants fans are on the edge of their seats in hopes of seeing […]

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 […]

12.8K25Pence’s “(expletive) champion blood” speech gets Giants ready for postseason (video)
The Giants had plenty of reasons to celebrate. The day began with a Brewers loss, which allowed the Giants to back into the Wild Card play-in game. So a celebration was planned for after Thursday night’s game against the Padres, win or lose. Despite giving up a 6-0 lead when the Padres struck for three […]

3.7K4Petit tosses complete game, Panik goes 5-for-5, Giants gain game on Dodgers
You don’t have to feel good for Yusmeiro Petit. You might be a fan of another team. Like the D-Backs, the team Petit pitched for from 2007-09 that came *this* close to getting perfecto’d by Petit a year ago. But if you’re an unbiased observer, or someone who leans toward the Giants’ side of the […]

2.6K2Giants come back from 6-0 deficit, rout listless Rockies 12-7
All at once, the Rockies showed the Giants the downtrodden team the rest of the National League has enjoyed facing throughout the season. Even though the Giants took three straight against Colorado last week, the Giants only scored 13 runs in that four-game series. Colorado fought hard over yesterday’s 12 innings, and took a 6-0 lead tonight. With […]

2.6KGiants outscore Cubs 1-0, lose
Despite the best efforts of the bullpen and Joe Panik, the Giants fell short in the final four innings of their rain-shortened protested and suspended game. Panik drove in Adam Duvall with a solid two-out hit in the sixth inning (as seen in the “photo” above) to pull the Giants to within one, but the scoring […]

3.5K9Report: Giants interested in trading for Bartolo Colon
Update: According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, maybe we should pump the brakes on this whole Colon-to-the-Giants thing. I guess this isn’t THAT surprising, since Brian Sabean has said that they don’t want to add much (if any) guaranteed money to their already-bloated 2015 payroll. Been told #Sfgiants haven’t engaged #Mets on […]

2.8K2Samardzija gets a beer shower, Schierholtz gets a little revenge (yeah, the Giants got beat)
Even though Jeff Samardzija came in with no wins and the Cubs were 1-9 in his starts, this wasn’t a game that stacked up well for the Giants. Yusmeiro Petit was starting in place of Matt Cain, and Samardzija owns the record for the lowest ERA through 10 starts with no victories. Now he has […]

2.8K8Jean Machi goes HAM as Giants beat Pirates in 13-inning weirdathon
I’m going to go ahead and assume that really happened, because my dreams never last that long. The San Francisco Giants, who fell behind 8-2 at what we thought was the midway point of this game, tied the game at 9-9, fell behind 10-9, and eventually won 11-10 in the 13th inning. The comebacks were probably the […]

Giants pitchers combine for two-hitter to defeat Athletics
Maybe the Giants’ pitchers all rubbed Madison Bumgarner’s shaggy brown-and-blond beard for luck, because they mirrored his dominant ways on Friday night in a 3-0 win over the A’s. It was a game that finished so quickly, the fans in Scottsdale had plenty of time to hit one of the town’s several restaurants and watering […]
