Giants go down swinging in 2-1 loss to Reds

The most telling statistic in the San Francisco Giants’ 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds is the two teams’ pitch counts. Four Giants pitchers combined to throw 145 pitches in eight innings. The Reds got through nine innings against the free-swinging Giants in just 111 pitches, an average of 12.3 per inning. The Giants had […]

Along with near-daily injuries suffered by the Orioles comes daily roster moves. The team made another flurry of moves to keep a healthy set of players up on the MLB roster ahead of Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks, with two players landing on the 60-day injured list, one getting selected from Norfolk to MLB, and […]

Royals’ ineptitude costs them again in 2-1 loss in Detroit

The Royals did it again. They lost 2-1. The offense has now scored 2 or fewer runs in 11 of their first 18 games and in 7 of their last 8. The offense was miserable and missed the few opportunities they had to do something, per usual. The pitching was awesome again, unfortunately perfection has […]

Captain Willy Adames

The concept of a team captain isn’t all that important and fans will typically project their favorite player as the face of the franchise, but with Brandon Belt Celebration Day just 12 days out, it got me thinking, “Who is the captain of the Giants?“ Like, if we had to pick and Tony Vitello wasn’t […]

In particular, they are more bullish than most, I think, on Yolfran Castillo, […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 15

Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual and one or more pieces could be delayed. Thanks for your patience. Now that one looked like fun. In my head, come-from-behind victories reach almost mythic proportions. The Sandberg Game is the prototype. To be fair, I had to look […]

Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 2, Norfolk Tides 0 Look, Brandon Young was excellent in a losing effort, posting a quality start with six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and a walk while striking out five on 75 pitches. Unfortunately, Jacksonville’s Braxton Garrett was slightly better: he no-hit the Tides for six innings, needing […]
