MATT CAIN RUMORS & GOSSIP

San Francisco Giants must take advantage of remaining June schedule

If there’s one word that can be used to describe the San Francisco Giants season thus far, it’s frustration. The club has struggled to establish consistency, lacking any sort of championship identity. The once vaunted pitching rotation is average at best, limping by from start to start. Matt Cain has been maddeningly unpredictable, seemingly incapable of stringing together back...

Matt Cain finally pitches like Matt Cain

Matt Cain might just be getting back on track Matt Cain has had a rough season so far.  Before today he was sporting a 5.09 ERA and was only 4-3.  It seemed like Matt Cain was underrated for a while and he just went out and worked innings for the Giants.  One year ago he threw a perfect game against the Houston Astros.  Today he may have righted his season by throwing another...

Cain loves pitching on June 13, Giants avoid sweep with rout of Pirates

Matt Cain went 6 2/3 strong innings, and the Giants offense exploded for 17 hits as they routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-0 and avoided being swept.

Giants 10, Pirates 0

SF Giants Rumors: Rock Bottom, Perfect Cain, Roster Moves, Ice Cream Anyone?

The San Francisco Giants are hopefully at rock bottom. If this is their lowest point of the season, I will take it! They’re still only three games back in the NL West, and haven’t come close to running on all cylinders. Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (via Twitter) says the Giants have lost three games this year when they scored at least 8 runs. They lost four such...

Postgame Wrap: Matt Cain Gets Timmy’d

Matt Cain is broken. Matt Cain is not broken. Matt Cain is broken from the stretch. Matt Cain can’t pitch with runners on base. Matt Cain would like you to listen very carefully right now. There is nothing wrong with him. I know this season has been hard to watch, and I understand if it’s hard to hold out optimism after we saw our Timmy hopes dashed against the rocks. But Cain...

Why Is Matt Cain Struggling

Walk around AT&T Park and ask people inside and outside of the organization what’s wrong with Matt Cain and you’ll get a different answer every time: “He’s tipping his pitches from the stretch.” “It’s just the Cardinals, that’s all.” “The Cardinals got our signs from Bengie Molina.” “It’s his command.” It’s worth trying each pair of pants on, but...

Cardinals' offense makes most of final outs

ST. LOUIS -- It looked like Matt Cain might escape. After the Cardinals scored twice on the Giants ace in the bottom of the third inning, he stepped from the mound to chat with a coach, regained his composure, then went after Matt Holliday. When the three-time All-Star threw a four-seam fastball that struck Holliday out looking, it appeared Cain had poured cold water on the Cardinals...
