Posted on 31 Mar 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Welcome to your 2012 NL West Round Table Preview with Rockies beat writer Steven Folsom and Diamondbacks writer Matthew Hesse. 2011 brought many surprises in baseball and one of those was the NL West. The Giants didn’t repeat and the Diamondbacks stormed back from a last place finish in 2010 to winning the division in 2011. What will 2012 bring? Well, let's get started. Biggest offsea...

Only One
Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
The Giants just need to be up by one run and instantly they win. No its not that simple but it seems to be that simple. The Giants have won one run games quite unusual in most cases but today's case may just be the one that takes the cake. Tony Sipp, the Indians reliever balked in the winning run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of today's heated struggle with the Cleveland Ind...

All-Star in Lincecum?
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Alright, the first game of the series was just flat out horrible for Madison Bumgarner who did give up 9 hits before two outs which was a modern Major League Baseball record. However, the Giants, like only the Giants can do, get back up, dust off their shoulders, and just play ball. Last night, Eli Whiteside had one of his better games with a two-run triple and an RBI single for the Giant...

How Sweep It Is
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Well, the Giants faced an excellent pitching staff in the Athletics and it clearly showed the weaknesses in the Giants lineup. Here's the stat of the weekend, I was listening to KNBR and a listener mentioned the Giants took only 119 pitches in the game in which Lincecum pitched, and the A's made him throw 113 pitches in six innings. The Giants at the start of today's game had an OBP of only...

Still Torture
Posted on 16 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Although the Giants did win by three runs yesterday, which for the Giants constitutes a blowout, it wasn't torture after they scored two runs in the 9th inning. However, the game before where Wilson put two on after two outs and throwing a wild pitch to put both in scoring position, then striking out the last batter looking is torture. Duane Kuiper coined the phrase, “Giants baseball,...

Turn Off the Lights Nate
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Nate Schierholtz tied the game in the ninth inning with two outs and hits the go-ahead single in the top of the 11th with two outs. Although Lincecum did have a poor outing, the Giants were actually able to score runs against the Cardinals. One of the things the Giants gained with this victory was Bruce Bochy's confidence in Nate Schierholtz, “His playing time has increased and it wil...

Proposing a Posey Rule
Posted on 31 May 2011 by Danny Lust.
Most are aware by now, last week San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey was on the wrong end of a crushing full speed collision. Giants' fans collectively held their breath as he laid on the ground writhing in pain. The worst case scenario became a reality as a fractured fibula and severely strained ankle ligaments have effectively ended Buster's 2011 season, clouding what looked like a very...

Orange and Black? Unbearable At-Bats
Posted on 30 May 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Watching the Giants hit can be as interesting as watching paint dry because they both leave the mind to unbearable boredom. Did Cain pitch well yesterday? No, but he wasn't terrible as most of the hits were singles and bleeders into the outfield. He as a Giant has always had a reputation of getting absolutely no run support, but with Posey gone for the year it could be all over. Wait, t...

Broken Buster
Posted on 26 May 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
In what looked like to be a loss for the Giants on Wednesday proved to be more than what they had even expected. The Giants actually came back from a 4-run deficit in the bottom of the 9th to send the game into extra frames. With all of the issues the Giants have had scoring runs it was a shock that they could score four runs in a game, nonetheless in one inning. But that's not the story th...

Not Kershaw
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
The Giants against Kershaw this year are 0-2. Kershaw has thrown 13 2/3 shutout innings versus the Giants this season while striking out 16 in two starts this year. Going back to last year he has tossed 22 2/3 scoreless innings vs the Giants. He is 3-1 against the Giants posting a 1.09 ERA in seven career starts vs the Dodgers. Cain has done well in Los Angeles since 2008 with a 1.67 ER...

Life Without Bonds
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Danny Lust.
Look who's back on top. For the first time in the young 2011 baseball season, the rest of the NL West is looking up at the Giants. And all is well and dandy in sunny San Francisco. This was a home stand to remember. The Giants' season took a complete 180. If you blinked you might have missed it. Hard to believe that just a week ago, the Giants were four games behind the Colorado Rockies. Not on...

Let’s Make it 5
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
The Giants have returned home and it has been “torture” again but at this point it does not matter. The Giants are on a role with their starting pitching and they just will stop pitching. Well tonight Jonathon Sanchez goes and he has to have a better showing than his last couple of starts. With the Diamondbacks, he should be able to get at least 10 strikeouts tonight, but he h...
