by Aaron SchuldinerIn light of the rough finishes to the last two seasons in Flushing, it has become easy, if not fashionable, for Met fans to push the panic button after every loss. But when you’ve won eleven of your last thirteen games, you’re entitled to an off night against...

A little bit ago I unfortunately came across this mess of a blog post from some blog I’ve never visited before. The guy is basically trying to figure out what Jim Hendry is doing despite it being abundantly clear what he is doing. I think it’s best just to FJM this...
Fantasy Preview: San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants have a putrid offense, and an emerging pitching staff with depth. But as with all bad teams, there are some nuggets of gold to find by the bay. This mix of young sleepers and undervalued veterans might actually produce more late-round draft value than any other...

This is why I?m not a teacher; I?m sort of a pass or fail guy. So since the Giants seem destined to have Bengie Molina bat cleanup for the second year in a row, I suppose they have failed (or at least come close) in their off season mission to improve...

The Giants are in a 4-4 tie with the Dodgers right now in the top of the 11th inning. This would be a huge victory for the Giants if they can pull this one out. They have a better chance now with Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton out of the game. The problem is that their offense is...

Fate of The Franchise: Looking Ahead to The 2010 San Francisco Giants Bullpen
August 06, 2009 by
Bleacher Report
| Comments
As the San Francisco Giants found out last year, the bullpen can be just as important as the starting rotation. While the starters compile most of the pretty stats, like wins, innings, strikeouts, and so forth, relievers handle much higher pressure situations, as well as the nitty...
Ten Reasons The Giants Will Be Better This Season

In no particular order 1. No Tyler Walker to blow late inning leads. Walker was one of the worst setup men in baseball last season. He never was a good pitcher to begin with and he was seriously fat and out of shape last season, but Bruce Bochy kept on sending him out in the 8th inning...
Los Angeles-San Francisco: Kuroda Wins Biggest Game of the Year So Far

Hiroki Kuroda gave up two runs on just three hits in eight strong innings, and the Dodgers touched Merkin Valdez and Bob Howry in a five-run seventh inning in a 10-3 Dodger rout to open a three-game series at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Casey Blake hit his fifth homer in 16...
Keeping the Faith: SF's Booming Bullpen Is a Silent Success

The Jiffy-Lube Change of the Game flashes and you immediately start to worry.
It’s only natural. The Giants bullpen has been bad for so long it is easy to unknowingly jerk into this reaction when Bochy heads to the mound.
But despite their dreadful recent history...

Giants Do Not Offer Arb To Any Free Agents

MLB Trade Rumors

The Giants did not offer arbitration to any of their free agents - Type A catcher Bengie Molina and Type Bs Bob Howry, Randy Johnson, and Randy Winn. It's a mixed result for Molina - he's more attractive to other teams (the Mets, for example) now that he will not cost a...
