One Giant Leap for San Fran-kind
Posted on 29 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
California and baseball, they were made for each other. They go together like hot dogs & mustard, guacamole & chips, politics & debate. Kismet. Long before Walter O’Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) moved their New York business interests cross-country to the Golden State (‘58), the game of baseball was already well-situated on the Pacific Coast, producing such gems ...

Sell, Sell, Sell! – Rockies Suddenly Sellers at Trade Deadline
Posted on 27 Jul 2011 by Steve Folsom.
As of July 27th, the Rockies are 1-5 on their current 9-game roadtrip. I felt before they left that they needed to go at least 7-2 to get back into contention. A 7-2 roadtrip would have brought them back to .500. Obviously this is not the case and they are now positioned as sellers at the July 31st trade deadline. Below is a list of the possible trade pieces (and in Ubaldo Jimenez’s cas...

Time for Carlos Gonzalez to Hit Third Again?
Posted on 21 Jun 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy had a slumping #3 hitter in Carlos Gonzalez at the beginning of June. The Rockies were playing below expectations and Gonzalez was not hitting like he was in 2010. In order to try and wake up Gonzalez’s bat, Tracy played around with his lineup. The major move he made was putting Gonzalez in the leadoff spot. On June 6th of this season, Gonzalez made hi...

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...
