It’s a miracle what a 3-run home run can do. It feels like a lot of teams have been able to get these frequently over the years and I hope a youth movement on the San Francisco Giants...

Fans needed some good news on Friday night, and Luis Matos obliged

Believe or not: the Colorado Rockies steamrolled into Oracle Park on Friday as one of the hottest clubs in baseball.

Possibly an exaggeration, but they had won seven-in-a-row, sweeping the Rangers at home and the Padres in San Diego. Their hot streak sparked by a 9-1 walloping against the Giants last Thursday.

Meanwhile San Francisco had gone 3-3. Their ability to keep their head...

Mason Black vs. Ryan Feltner.

After their first off day in nearly two-and-a-half weeks, the San Francisco Giants are back in action tonight. And they’re facing a Colorado Rockies team that is shockingly the hottest team in baseball, having not lost since the Giants beat them eight games ago.

The last time I wrote about the San Francisco Giants facing a team that had been on a long losing streak (the Reds), I thought what most of you thought: the Giants are gonna lose because that’s a long streak that’s due to end. Well, with the Colorado Rockies visiting this weekend and on a 7-game winning streak, rest assured I feel the Giants are due to win.
