Frisco Fastball:
Final Score:
Giants – 6
Rockies – 3
I’m not sure what was more entertaining. The fact that the Giants proved me totally wrong by not only winning a huge game on the road, but, the fact they scored 6 runs or Duane Kuiper’s hilarious botched homerun call. Aaron Rowand is still waiting for his apology. I’ve never [...]

When you take a road trip to Cincinati, it is what it is: you never really know what is going to happen, even when the Reds are scuffling, like they are this season. Oddly enough, in a park known for being a hitter's park, we got to see two great pitching duels after a blow-out type of game in the first game of the series. We were lucky to get out with a series win, and yet we...

Andrew Baggerly of the San Jose Mercury News reports that Bengie Molina wants the Giants to offer him a two0year contract for 2010 and 2011. He’s enjoyed his time in San Francisco and wants to return.
Clearly, the Giants are unlikely to offer Molina a two-year contract given that they see Buster Posey as their catcher of the future, and Posey is hitting .319 with a .946...

MASN’s Rob Dibble wrote how he wants teams to focus more on mechanics instead of innings and age with young pitchers. He cites Tim Lincecum, someone that I brought up on the site, as one example of a young pitcher being thrown into the fire. Of course, Lincecum is called “the freak” and I am [...]
