Tyler Chatwood made his first start since Aug. 2 (six relief appearances since then) and pitched three scoreless innings with four hits, three walks and three strikeouts … in four starts against the Giants this season, is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA (24.0 IP, 6 ER) … in 16 career appearances, 15 starts, against the Giants, is 7-3 with a 2.73 ERA (89.0 IP, 27 ER). Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with his 40th double and 112th RBI of the season, tied with Giancarlo Stanton for the most RBI in MLB … becomes the third Rockies player in franchise history to have multiple seasons (also 2015) with at least 40 doubles and 30 home runs (also: Todd Helton, 2000-04 and Matt Holliday, 2006-07). DJ LeMahieu extended his hitting streak to 13 games, tied for the third-longest streak of his career (.370, 20-for-54) … has reached base in a season-high 16 consecutive games and in 37 of his last 40 games since July 19 … is batting .450 (27-for-60) in 15 games vs. the Giants this season, the highest average against a single opponent by any National League player. Trevor Story hit his 19th home run of the season, a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning … the home run snapped his 60 at-bat, 17 game homerless streak, both career long streaks. Giants Notes The San Francisco Giants have lost seven of their last eight and 10 of their last 12 games … have lost 10 games in a row at Coors Field, their longest road losing streak to a single team since losing 11 in a row at Cincinnati Sept. 11, 1984-Sept. 17, 1985. Ty Blach pitched 5.1 innings and allowed five runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts … has lost each of his last five starts, going 0-5 with a 7.90 ERA (27.1 IP, 24 ER), 11 walks, nine strikeouts and seven home runs. Reyes Moronta made his Major League debut in the seventh inning and pitched 0.2 innings, allowing one run on two hits with no walks … struck out Charlie Blackmon for his first Major League strikeout. Roberto Gomez also made his Major League debut in the seventh inning and induced a lineout from Trevor Story. Joe Panik recorded a season-high four hits, his second consecutive game with at least three hits … all of his games with at least three hits have come on the road … it is the third time in his career he has recorded at least three hits in consecutive games (last: June 16-17, 2017) … has eight multi-hit games and four three-plus hit games over his last 14 road games, batting .442 (23-for-52) over that span. Buster Posey went 2-for-5 with two RBI … struck out three times in a game for only the sixth time in his career, the first time since Aug. 20, 2010 at Los Angeles-NL. Pablo Sandoval extended his hitless streak to 10 games, going 0-for-37 over that span … it is the longest active hitless streak in the Major Leagues this season, and the longest hitless streak for a Giants position player since Johnnie LeMaster recorded a 0-for-37 hitless streak in 1984.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, March 7, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, March 7, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Tim Lincecum joins Rangers with new contract, heavy heart John Shea SURPRISE, Ariz. — For the first time in his big-league career, Tim Lincecum will wear a number other than 55. He’ll wear 44. “In honor of my brother,” Lincecum said Tuesday after working out at the Texas Rangers’ training facility. “That was his number. Either 12 or 44. Twelve was taken. So it’s 44.” Sean Lincecum, a major part of Tim Lincecum’s upbringing and an inspiration for Tim’s stellar pitching career with the Giants, died last month at 37. He was four years older than Tim, who threw on a side field Tuesday with a heavy heart, the memory of Sean fresh in his mind as he began the next chapter of his career with his third team. Tim flew to Arizona after attending Sean’s funeral Saturday. “That’s a tough thing to put into words right now,” said Lincecum, who declined to specify his brother’s cause of death. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot with the services happening a couple of days ago. For me, I always looked up to my brother. He was an idol for me. He just had a lot of bad runs with choices he made in life. That’s where we’re at right now.” Lincecum’s close relationship with his father, Chris, is well-chronicled. Chris has been his mentor, coach and friend and taught him nonconforming mechanics that helped him flourish in the big leagues.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, July 14, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, July 14, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Madison Bumgarner’s impact on ‘psyche of club’ John Shea SAN DIEGO — The ace officially is back in business. Manager Bruce Bochy announced his newly aligned rotation, and Madison Bumgarner will pitch Saturday, his first Giants start since April 19. “We missed his voice ... and his BP,” Bochy said as Bumgarner took his hacks in batting practice during Thursday’s workout at Petco Park. Johnny Cueto, who started Sunday in the Giants’ final game before the All-Star break, gets the ball for Friday’s opener against the Padres, followed by Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija. Matt Moore will start Monday’s homestand opener against Cleveland, and Ty Blach will pitch Tuesday. Matt Cain, the odd man out, took the high road with his move to the bullpen. He has 325 career starts and eight relief appearances, including four in September and one Sunday. As a starter this season, he has a 5.58 ERA. 1 “I’m looking forward to it,” Cain said. “I’ve got to go about this like it’s a new challenge. ... There’s no issue with going down there. It’ll be a good thing.” Bumgarner made just three starts before injuring his shoulder and ribs in his April 20 dirt-bike accident in Colorado, and the Giants showed very little in his absence. They’re 34-56 and 27 games behind the first-place Dodgers, five back of the fourth-place Padres. “It’s great to have Bum back,” Cain said. “It was definitely odd not having him in the rotation, so we’re excited having him back and having him around the clubhouse more.” The rotation is set up so that Cueto gets four starts before the trade deadline July 31.

  • Baseball by Dan Sapone “There Are Only Two Seasons - Winter and Baseball.” — Bill Veeck
    Baseball By Dan Sapone “There are only two seasons - Winter and Baseball.” — Bill Veeck. “Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical" — Yogi Berra = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Baseball Here in February, the day Lou Seal shows up at my granddaughter’s school in San Francisco, in full uniform, you KNOW baseball is just around the corner. Why did he appear at Quinn’s school? Was it to introduce young people to the magic of baseball and the optimism that spring training embodies? The timing is clear: Spring Training is about to begin and, once again, it’s magic. All you have to do is say the words “Spring Training” and serious baseball fans can feel the magic. Disclaimer: I was a basketball player. It was the only sport I was any good at, but I grew up loving baseball — I watched it ever since 1961 when my brother-in-law Joe Faletti took me and my nephews to my first Giants’ game at Candlestick Park; I listened to Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons describe it on the radio; I lived and died by the fortunes of My Giants. Baseball mattered to a kid growing up in the 1950s/60s in Antioch, CA. It became personal. [Click here for my personal, brief playground baseball history.] In baseball, the approach of Spring Training is a hopeful time — no scores yet, no losses, no strikeouts or disappointments. Even after My Giants’ dreadful 2017 season (we’re not gonna talk about that) the slate is clean and all things are possible. In 2016, my son Matt and his wife Nou took Gretta and me to our first Spring Training in Arizona.
