Minor Moves; Giants Can’t Score; Romo Pitches

By Chris Quick on May 7, 2009

We’ve barely entered the month of May for Giants baseball and I’m finding that more and more my gaze is turning towards minor league boxscores. I’m still enjoying the MLB team with Pablo Sandoval, Tim Lincecum, (good) Randy Johnson, and some others but with the Dodgers hot start and the Giants offense still looking like [...]

The Future

By Chris Quick on April 2, 2009

3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 SO, 0 HR “He’s nasty,” Ramirez said. Told that Bumgarner’s only 19, Ramirez replied, “Unbelievable. He has a fastball and a curveball. He’s sneaky. He throws hard.” San Jose is going to be a really fun team to watch this year.

Thursday Link Grab Bag

By Chris Quick on January 29, 2009

Mid-to-late January is probably the worst time of the year for baseball, the offseason is still trudging along, but you can almost see baseball in the distance. Just a few more weeks and [...]

Confessions of a Sidearm Lover

Confessions of a Sidearm Lover

By Chris Quick on January 17, 2008

I’ve got a confession to make. I love pitchers with funky motions. Mostly side-armers, though, I also love the old-time throwing styles of pitchers from the 60′s, like Koufax, Gibson, and of course this wouldn’t be a Giants blog without the mention of Marichal’s rock-back-and-huge-leg-kick pitching motion.
