Colorado Series Becomes First Pivotal Moment in 2013
Every MLB team seems to have two or three regular season series that end up defining their season. Those games can happen early in a season or during the final week, and they can be played against really good teams or teams going nowhere.
In reality, these season-defining match-ups are almost always clearly identified only after the season ends. Of course that doesn't stop...
Down on the Farm: Michael Kickham
“You always set high goals. That’s one thing I certainly do. I’m not getting ahead of myself by any means, but sure, it is something that you think about and dream about.”

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
No Clear Replacement For Vogelsong
I’m beginning to think that this just isn’t Ryan Vogelsong’s year. Even when he pitches well, it’s a letdown. On Monday night, Vogelsong pitched what was easily his best game of the season, tossing five shutout innings against the powerful Washington Nationals. As he was cruising right along, though, tragedy struck. While swinging at a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning...
Giants old strategy isn't working but they're still winning
Something weird is happening in San Francisco. The formula that has won two of the last three World Series -- pitching, defense, and timely hitting -- seems like a distant memory. The Giants just returned home from a brutal road trip but are still five games over .500 despite playing bad defense and giving up big innings right and left.
The pitching staff, the Giants calling...
Giants put two pitchers on the DL

Boom, broken hand. He will miss the next six weeks.
Obviously it’s a big blow to Vogelsong...

Who Is Going To Replace Vogelsong?
Well, that wasn’t nice to watch.
I’ve been rough on Ryan Vogelsong this season because, well, his pitching had been pretty rough. I thought he’d be the first one to miss a start, but not like this. Seeing him get hit on the hand pretty much ruined a big win that the Giants (and their fans) needed.
Vogelsong’s comeback story will always be one of my favorite stories of...

POSTGAME RECAP: Vogelsong breaks hand amid best outing; offense comes alive
GiantsPod breaks Giants pitchers with bad ERAs. When Danny and I went to Fresno for a little Central Valley action in 2011, we saw Barry Zito take a bad spill off the mound and injure his foot. Now Ryan Vogelsong is broken. Worst of all, Vogey was having by far his best game of the season. One more inning of decent work would have given the right-hander just his second quality start...
