Baseball is a funny game. The amount of variations, outcomes, and sheer randomness make almost no two games alike. Enter last night’s game. Roy Halladay’s career doesn’t need much explaining. He’s been a terrific pitcher in the AL for years and he’s off to a white-hot start in the NL. His WAR totals since 2006 [...]

Question: Are the Giants the only team in baseball that can lose a game in which their starter goes 7 innings, strikes out 10 batters, and only allows 1 hit — a non-HR hit, too. I guess it’s supposed to be a rhetorical question. One I would rather not spend any more time thinking about. [...]

There’s been a lot written about Jonathan Sanchez and what he’ll have to do this year for the Giants to have a shot in the NL West. In yesterday’s start against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Sanchez gave us another glimpse of what he’s capable of when he’s pitching well. Sanchez’s final line on the day was: [...]

It’s time for my annual Giants WAR projection post. You can find the link to the 2009 projection, here. It explains a few things in general and it’s not a bad place to start if you’ve never seen a WAR projection. But, the basics are that: a team totally devised of ‘replacement level talent’ — [...]

I can sorta-kinda-maybe deal with losing 2 of 3 games to the Reds. But, losing to the Dodgers just stinks. Once again, the Giants offense looked pretty flat. Freddy Sanchez went 0-4 and had a couple of at-bats that looked like he was swinging with his eyes closed. The Giants did score their two runs [...]

Wow, what a great game to come back to the blog with. If you didn’t know, last night Jonathan Sanchez pitched the first no-hitter of 2009 and the first Giants no-hitter since John Montefusco did it to the Braves in 1976. You’ll often hear sports fans and announcers say: ‘This game had it all’ but [...]

This is the post you’ve all been waiting for. Please, hold your excitement because I’m about to use PFX to look at Ryan Sadowski’s first major league start. Madison Bumgarner and Tim Alderson he’s not, but let’s check out what the 26-year-old was throwing in his first major league win. The Stuff Pitch # mph [...]

From Chris Haft’s MLBlog: The move cements Jonathan Sanchez’s demotion to the bullpen. Sanchez, 2-8 with a 5.54 ERA, has lost four consecutive games and, in the minds of Giants officials, simply wasn’t demonstrating much improvement. I would be surprised if Sadowski makes more than 1-2 starts with the Giants. The 26-year-old right-hander has had [...]

The Giants were unable to break out their orange and black colored brooms and sweep the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks in yesterday’s 2-1 loss. Sanchez made one of his “longer” starts of the year by going 5.2 innings against Arizona. But, Sanchez’s #1 problem in ’09 came back to bite him — that problem being control [...]

There’s been a good bit of talk regarding Jonathan Sanchez floating around lately on the Internet and other various Giants fansites. The common thread seems to be split into two parts. First, is it time that the Giants gave up on Jonathan Sanchez as a starting pitcher. Second, why not move him back into the [...]
