“SSS” is for small sample sizes

We’ve played seven games. It’s still very early in the season. Here are some statistics:

Angel Pagan’s wRC+ of two — two! — is pretty impressive. In 29 plate appearances, Pagan has just three hits — two doubles and a single. Both Pablo Sandoval and Melky Cabrera have already accrued 0.5 fWAR. That rate, over . . . → Read More: “SSS” is for small sample sizes

Swept in Arizona, Giants drop series finale

Here’s a new graphic — in its early stages — of something I’m calling Game Flow. The idea is that it’s a simple graph showing the progression of the game from the pitching side of things. I’m still looking for a way to incorporate things like runs, outs, strikeouts, and walks into the graph, . . . → Read More: Swept in Arizona, Giants drop series finale

0-1; Giants on pace to lose 162 games

If you’re a pessimist you’ll probably say …

Tim Lincecum didn’t look at all that great. In Lincecum’s first start of the year he struck out seven batters while walking just one over 5.1 innings. Lincecum, at times, looked a little rusty, as his command wasn’t exceptionally sharp for most of the night. According to . . . → Read More: 0-1; Giants on pace to lose 162 games

Pablo Sandoval agrees to three-year deal

The Giants have made quite a few deals today — Melky Cabrera, Nate Schierholtz, Santiago Casilla have all signed deals — as the team works it’s way through the arbitration process. The most exciting deal today, by far, is the three year deal that Pablo Sandoval has agreed to.

Before we get down to the nitty-gritty of this week’s post, I want to extend my best wishes to Wilson Ramos’ family and the Washington Nationals organization.

Winter Leagues Digest: October 30-November 5

We have almost a full plate of winter league baseball at our disposal. Every league I have committed to covering here has begun, except for the Colombian League.

Winter Leagues Digest 10/20-10/30

I held off on doing an update in the middle of last week because two other leagues were starting up at the end of the week: the Nicaraguan League (NPBL) and the Colombian League. Turns out that nobody from the Giants is playing for either league right now. Oh well.

Plus I waited for the . . . → Read More: Winter Leagues Digest 10/20-10/30

Winter Leagues Digest: October 13-19

I apologize for dropping the ball on last week’s update. I had to study for midterms and polish a series of articles I wrote for my internship here.
