SF Giants lineup: Posey sits against red-hot Padres
Buster Posey gets a full day of rest Monday after playing in all nine games of the Giants’ recent road trip. The reigning MVP caught eight of those games, spending Saturday’s game at first base. Posey collected 15 hits on the trip, raising his 2013 batting line to .316/.390/.515. His .905 OPS is tops among MLB catchers and seventh among all position players in the National League...
Bumgarner is brilliant, Buster bashes the Braves in game 1
Madison Bumgarner was near-perfect, and Buster Posey showed why he’s the reigning MVP, as the Giants blanked the Atlanta Braves 6-0 to take game one of the series. This marks the first time on this road trip that San Francisco has won the first game of a series.
Bumgarner was brilliant in his seven innings of worked. He threw 108 pitches, 69 of them for strikes. He allowed no runs...
SF aces causing Giant concern
The San Francisco Giants have such great starting pitching.
It has become one of the reflexive sports sayings of our time, alongside laudatory axioms about the San Antonio Spurs' cohesion, the Boston Bruins' toughness, or the New England Patriots' consistency. The Giants relied on their rotation to win the 2010 and 2012 World Series. If Buster Posey hadn't been...
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.
San Francisco jumped out to a much-needed early lead. Gregor Blanco led off the game with a walk, the next batter, Brandon Crawford, was hit by a pitch, and Buster Posey singled home Blanco to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. But Pirates...
Game 64: Pirates 8 Giants 2
Let's start with the warm-and-fuzzies: Gerrit Cole took the mound in his Major League debut tonight. The first three pitches hew threw went 96 mph, 96 mph, and 98 mph. They were a called strike and two swinging strikes. There were 30,000+ at PNC Park tonight, and they exploded with every pitch. Cole hit some rough spots early on and didn't strike a ton of hitters out, but...
Giants 10, Diamondbacks 5
Buster Posey capped a six-run fourth inning with a homer and had three RBIs, Madison Bumgarner pitched five effective innings and the San Francisco Giants pounded the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-5 Saturday night.
Bumgarner (5-4) was sharp early to end a four-game losing streak and added an RBI with a sacrifice bunt in San Francisco's big inning.

Hot or Not: Cespedes, Posey carry offense
by Nathan Mendelowitz
Buster Posey – Hot
It’s been a rough two weeks for the Giants lately, but thankfully one hitter has been able to shake off the losing ways and be productive. Buster Posey had a good stretch in St. Louis getting five hits in two games, with four hits coming in one game. The last two series’ Posey is hitting .400 while slugging .600 with three doubles...

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.
Little...
SF Giants Rumors: Melky’s Back, Giants All Star Voting, Team Leaders And Standings
It’s been a struggle for the San Francisco Giants lately, but with all the struggles, they’re still only two games back of the D-Backs in the NL West. Tonight Melky Cabrera and the Blue Jays come to town for a two-game set, and I’m guessing Melky isn’t going to get many cheers.
John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle shares with us (via Twitter) the NL All Star voting...
2013 Blind Resume: Catchers
It seems like it has gone by so fast, but we are already a third of the way through the season and player stats are starting to have more meaning now that the sample sizes are getting bigger. Over the next ten weekdays I will be covering a blind resume at every position, looking at two players that have had very comparable seasons over the first two months. See if you can guess the...
MLB Network's Jeff Allison feature is powerful, must-watch TV
During Sunday's 5 PM edition of MLB Tonight, MLB Network will be airing a feature on Jeff Allison, the 16th overall pick in the 2003 MLB Draft by the (then) Florida Marlins. Going into the 2004 season, he was the third best prospect in Florida's organization, and the 44th best prospect in all of baseball. But he didn't pitch at all in 2004 and was placed on the restricted...
SF Giants Rumors: Mike Kickham To Make His Major League Debut Tonight
The bats were quiet yesterday as the San Francisco Giants fell to the Athletics across the bay in Oakland. The Giants are looking for a split in the two game series. They’re sending Mike Kickham to the mound tonight as Ryan Vogelsong‘s replacement. Kickham will also be making his Major League Debut tonight. The lineups haven’t been announced as of yet, but Buster Posey is expected...
SF Giants lineup: Pagan out again, Posey at DH
After the most incredible play in recent memory, Angel Pagan will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury. The center fielder was shaken up after hitting a walk-off two-run inside-the-park home run in Saturday’s game against Colorado. I don’t think the “-” button on my laptop will ever be the same.
Pagan is having a solid season, starting 45 of the Giants 50...
Giants 7, Rockies 3
Brandon Belt hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the fifth inning to back a shaky outing by Matt Cain, and the San Francisco Giants rallied past the Colorado Rockies 7-3 Sunday.
Buster Posey homered and Andres Torres added two hits and an RBI to help the Giants close a six-game homestand with consecutive wins. The defending World Series champions play 14 of their next 18 games...

Down on the Farm: Joe Panik
“A lot of us in the organization said he reminded us of Buster Posey,” said Richmond Flying Squirrels hitting coach, Ken Joyce. “In the sense that he has that same demeanor. He has that attitude in the way he goes about his business. He’s professional, came from a decent family, and a good school at St. John’s.”
That kind of summation of a player sounds like something...
Rookie Watch: Miller solidifies status with one-hitter
What do Ryan Braun and Buster Posey have in common? Among other things, they both won Rookie of the Year awards after spending a good chunk of the season in the minors. Braun was called up on May 25, 2007 and hit .324 with 34 homers and 97 RBI. Posey arrived on May 29, 2010 and hit .305 with 18 homers and 67 RBI. The point is this: there's still time for big-time prospects like...
Giants pick up another walkoff win
Buster Posey and Andres Torres waited three hours before making their contributions to yet another walkoff win for the San Francisco Giants.
Make it five such victories for the reigning World Series champions by early May.
Torres lined a game-ending single to right field with two outs in the 10th inning to score Posey for the winning run, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 4...

Video: Buster Posey delivers walk-off HR to defeat Dodgers
The San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers sometimes don’t get nearly enough publicity as they should for being such a fierce rivalry. Heck, they followed one another from NYC to California to keep things going. They renew their rivalry this weekend, and Buster Posey delivered the first big knockout punch of the year between the two with the game tied at 2, nobody on...
