A couple of random thoughts before the Giants kick off their series with Arizona tonight. For those keeping track at home, the Giants are currently winless (0-6) on the road this year. With Tim Lincecum moving up for the start tonight, maybe the Giants can bring home the first road W this season. My first [...]

A quick post today on Wins Above Replacement and our starting rotation. Tango has a nice post on how to calculate it and some other concepts associated with WAR. WAR is wins above replacement. Replacement is defined very specifically for my purposes: it’s the talent level for which you would pay the minimum salary on [...]

Is Jonathan Sanchez gassed? July has been an ill month for not only Sanchez, but the Giants as a team. Sanchez is currently sitting at 123 innings pitched at the major league level for 2008. In 2007, he amassed 52 innings at the major league level with an additional 23.2 innings at Fresno AAA. That [...]

After my post on WPA Plots — which you can find here — I had some interest in plotting Game Scores. Because I love visual aids, I decided to plot them for the Giants’ starters of Barry Zito, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, and Jonathan Sanchez. I didn’t include Correia or Pat Misch because they’ve both [...]

We’ve officially played a month of baseball and the Giants have done surprisingly well. Their current record of 13-16 puts them at 3rd place in the National League West. A traditionally strong NL West has looked slightly weaker this year than previous years. The Rockies and Padres have both gotten off to slow starts and [...]

This game was the blueprint for winning Giants baseball in 2008 — something that we probably won’t experience much of. With the anemic offense, the team has to pitch well and play defense. This is exactly what happened in last night’s 1-0 win over the San Diego Padres. Let’s check out the “Blueprint” and see [...]
