It’s been awhile since Mike Yastrzemski has got to do the double finger-gun shake celebration thing...

Way back when in early May, Mike Yastrzemski’s batting average sat at .284, his OPS as high as .878, after a 2-hit, 2 RBI game against Colorado.

Yaz’s solid month at the plate was one of the reasons for the San Francisco Giants hot start. His performance forced Bob Melvin’s hand in terms of roster decisions, inserting himself at the top of the...

Players rarely get to end their careers on a high note.

Alex Pavlovic posted to social media that the San Francisco Giants has traded 1B/DH/OF LaMonte Wade Jr. to the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later or cash considerations. While LWJ’s time with the Giants had logically run its course, this is still a tough place to land after being designated for assignment four days ago as the Angels are, rather famously, not...

Chapman looked for the curveball, got the curveball, and launched the curveball into the seats for another walk-off win

There’s a point when a curveball isn’t a curveball anymore.

Braves reliever Pierce Johnson found that point in a 1-1 count to Matt Chapman with 2-outs and a runner on in the bottom of the 9th. Johnson threw 15 pitches today and 12 of them were curveballs. Last night, he threw 15 pitches and 14 of them were Charlies. The shortest distance...

Effectively wild

Robert Edwards-Imagn Images

In a game of competing mistakes, the Giants lost...which means they won...

In Friday’s opener between the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants, there was an air of wildness emanating from the mound. Baseballs were skidding across opposite batter’s boxes, digging craters in front of home plate, skipping past catchers to the back stop.

Some of this is by design of course. With count leverage, he doesn’t need to be refined. This game is about hitting a rock...
