Giants Give Away Good Player

By Chris Quick on April 16, 2010

It’s hard to write anything else about Fred Lewis. It’s not because he wouldn’t have helped the Giants, either. If you browsed this website by posts tagged ‘Fred Lewis’ you’ll see the numerous different posts, discussions, and topics on Lewis. He was a weirdly divisive player among Giants fans. You’ll notice I said was. Past [...]

Hank Gets It Wrong

Hank Gets It Wrong

By Chris Quick on April 1, 2010

I rarely respond, via the blog, to articles posted online. But I couldn’t let this one slide. Henry Schulman, Giants beat-writer and seemingly all around nice guy, let’s all of us SABR nerds have it in his latest post on the topic of Fred Lewis and sabermetrics. Hank sets up his post with the following [...]

Giants Shopping Fred Lewis (and Frandsen)

By Chris Quick on March 24, 2010

Welcome to the inevitable. Baggs drops some information on us: Frandsen has another minor league option. Lewis does not. So at least the Giants have some flexibility with Frandsen. But if they’ve determined, for instance, that they’d prefer to start Matt Downs and Ryan Rohlinger in the middle infield at Fresno (and ultimately, when he’s [...]

Friday Quick Links

By Chris Quick on March 19, 2010

Honest question, does anyone really care about baseball right now? I love that Spring Training marks the return of baseball, but I’ve got NCAA basketball fever. If I’m not obsessively checking my bracket every 5 minutes, I’m having heart palpitations over my picks. Hey, Villanova, stop scaring me like that. So, at the moment: NCAA [...]

Cross Him Off The List

By Chris Quick on December 18, 2009

Nick Johnson, a favorite FA target, has reportedly inked a deal with the Yankees for 1-year, $5.5M. The Yankees were on the verge of bringing Nick Johnson back to the Bronx Thursday night on a one-year contract worth about $5.5 million, a move that could mean the end of Johnny Damon’s time in pinstripes This [...]

Sunday Labwork: Plate Approach With PFX

Sunday Labwork: Plate Approach With PFX

By Chris Quick on September 27, 2009

Anyone who’s watched a Pablo Sandoval at-bat should be able to realize within a few pitches that Sandoval likes to swing the stick. According to Fangraph’s O-Swing% statistic (the number of pitches outside of the strike zone that a batter swings at) Sandoval has swung at 41.8% of the pitches he’s seen this year outside [...]

Three Things The Giants Should Do

Three Things The Giants Should Do

By Chris Quick on September 1, 2009

It’s September 1st and the Giants are tied for the Wild Card lead in the NL. Commence freakout. Before you preorder your World Series tickets, realize that there’s a lot of baseball left to play. BP’s postseason odds projection has us pegged at a 22.4% chance of winning the Wild Card. The Rockies’ odds are [...]

Tim Lincecum is Good; Running the Bases; Thinking About Fred Lewis’ Expectations

By Chris Quick on June 24, 2009

Tim Lincecum is good. It’s almost like he should get some sort of award. Something like: “Award for Guy Who Throws Good” or something. Nah, it’ll never happen. Watching Lincecum throw another CG against the A’s last night was just what the doctor ordered after watching Sanchez struggle against a largely punchless hitting A’s team. [...]

The Offense: Do We Have A Problem?

The Offense: Do We Have A Problem?

By Chris Quick on May 5, 2009

Prepare for a bold statement: The Giants’ offense isn’t very good. I hope you were sitting down but it’s true, the Giants offense has done more sputtering this season than anything else. A graph and then a bunch of words. This basic graph shows how many runs the Giants have scored thus far in their [...]

Bad Ideas File #2851

By Chris Quick on March 9, 2009

You down with OBP? Yeah, I didn’t think so. “The biggest thing I talk to Freddie about is having a certain attitude,” Lansford said. “When you’re the No. 3 hitter, you’re our best hitter. I don’t care who’s on the mound. There’s a way you walk into the box and [maintain a] thought process, the [...]
