  • Encarnacion recalled to SF in time for San Diego Padres Series

    Encarnacion recalled to SF in time for San Diego Padres Series
    Jun 2 2025

    Jerar Encarnacion makes his long awaited return to the Giants after a two month recovery from a broken hand. The news came with the shock that outfielder Luis Matos was sent to Sacramento, meaning LaMonte Wade Jr. stays with SF, to the chagrin of impatient fans. Also, I offer a scouting report for the series with San Diego, and some old school pitchers weigh in on MLB's misuse of pitchers.

  • Giants Need New Shipment of Bats!

    Giants Need New Shipment of Bats!
    May 29 2025

    Hitting remains impotent for the SF Giants as they get swept by the Detroit Tigers. What's at the heart of their miseries? They don't hit with count leverage. They pass up on "cookies," fastballs down the middle. They've stopped stealing bases. They don't score early or often. So, maybe a shipment of new bats will help.

  • Kotsay Blows Another One

    Kotsay Blows Another One
    May 23 2025

    Mark Kotsay continues to worship at the altar of the 100 pitch count limit, and it cost him again when he lifted Luis Severino after 98 pitches. The A's bullpen proceeded to blow another game en route to their 9th straight loss. Did the press ask Kotsay why he took Severino out, though he'd given up just 2 runs and 0 walks over 6 innings? No. Did they ask Severino if he could have gone another inning? No.
