GIANTS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Marco Scutaro Facing Disabled List: How Will it Impact the Giants?
Baseball is full of hard decisions, like whether or not to
send the runner or when to pull a struggling starting pitcher from the game. While
these decisions may affect the rest of the game, Marco Scutaro is facing a difficult decision that may affect the rest of his life. After taking
a pitch to his pinky during the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night,
Scutaro...
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...

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...
SF Giants roster moves: Pill, Ramirez sent down; Dunning, Sanchez called up
The San Francisco Giants have designated first baseman Brett Pill and relief pitcher Ramon Ramirez for assignment, according to Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News. They were sent down to make room for relief pitcher Jake Dunning and returning catcher Hector Sanchez. Neither player is expected to arrive by game time Thursday, as they are scheduled to land just 3o minutes before...

Fan gets second chance to snag foul ball
Life is full of second chances.Just ask this Giants fan featured in the video clip above. He had two chances at securing a foul ball Wednesday night at PNC Park and he converted on the second try.However, the first chance didn't go so well. It came in the third inning when a ball ricocheted off the glove of a ball girl and then nailed the gentleman in both the arm and face before...
Giants' Marco Scutaro has "mallet finger," could miss 6-8 weeks
When Marco Scutaro and his teammates described the way his fractured finger looked, they all said it looked like a snake. That's never a good sign. The severity of the injury was revealed yesterday when the San Francisco Giants confirmed Scutaro has tendon damage. He's been diagnosed with mallet finger. Recovery from such an injury could take 6-8 weeks, but the Giants...

Giants P gets bad news on birthday
Giants relief pitcher George Kontos got a double dose of bad news on Wednesday, which also happened to be his birthday.
SF Giants Rumors: Shaky Lincecum, Scutaro Injury, Injuries In Fresno
I’m not sure where to even start… Let’s start with the San Francisco Giants falling to the Pirates to open the series. Tim Lincecum put up another shaky outing, and the Giants went on to lose 8-2.
Lincecum only lasted 4.2 innings and allowed 7 hits, 2 ER and 2 walks. He continues to struggle to put up consecutive consistent outings. I really believe opposing teams no longer...
Giants' Marco Scutaro hit by pitch, suffers fractured pinky
It didn't look good. When the pitch from Tony Watson came up and in on Marco Scutaro in the seventh inning of last night's game, Scutaro was struck in the hand. The pinky to be exact. Scutaro was in obvious pain and was removed from the game. Now the San Francisco Giants await news on how long Scutaro will be out. One thing is certain, though; Scutaro's finger...
Giants Pitcher's Kid Has Awesome Name
San Francisco Giants pitcher Chad Gaudin did late Monday night what a lot of players do while bored on Twitter...he asked his followers to throw some questions his way.
Naturally, there were the standard "what stadium is your favorite" or "what player, alive of dead, would you like to face"...but then there was this.
An innocent question given the...
Does “The Beard” Belong Back in San Francisco?
Hey, Giants fans. What do you think of the idea of Brian Wilson returning to the Giants bullpen? The idea was trotted out recently after an offhand comment made by Mike Krukow during the telecast of Friday night’s game. Krukow mentioned something about Wilson’s rehab “progressing nicely”, and that, of course, fueled some fan speculation about The Beard returning to the San...
Breaking Down The SF Giants 2013 Draft
The MLB Draft always results in people getting their eyes glazed over at all the picks. At least now it’s only 40, and not 50 like when I covered the draft. But the truth is, no one is guaranteed to ever make the majors (even the first round guys), and chances are that at least (AT LEAST!) 35 of those 40 players never taste the bigs. And even then, who knows when that fourth...

Gal snags ball after guy misses chance at it
Your browser does not support iframes.Teamwork was definitely involved to snag this foul ball during Wednesday's game between the Giants and Blue Jays at AT&T Park.Watch as a foul ball is hit straight back behind home plate and up into the middle section of the stands. It is there where a young man attempts to snag the baseball with his bare hands.However, the ball goes straight...
SF Giants Rumors: Throwback Lincecum, Torres Gets Big, Romo Save, MVPosey, Etc.
If you missed last night’s San Francisco Giants game, it felt like a throwback Tim Lincecum night. Lincecum was on his A-game. He allowed a bomb early on in the game, and that was pretty much it. He went 7 innings, allowing 1 run, 3 hits and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts! Let’s hope he can continue to build off of this start, and put together some quality starts going forward.
