  • SF Giants Press Clips Monday, May 7, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Monday, May 7, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Giants complete sweep of Atlanta in Andrew Suarez’s first big-league win Henry Schulman ATLANTA — The Giants’ charge over the past five series can be dissected a dozen different ways, from their stable of older hitters starting to progress toward their career numbers, to the excellent pitching, to younger players such as Mac Williamson, Alen Hanson and Andrew Suarez arriving from the minors and infusing life into the team. Or, just let Pablo Sandoval distill it in three words. “We’re having fun,” Sandoval said after the Giants survived a ninth-inning scare and beat Atlanta 4-3 Sunday to complete their first series sweep of 2018 against a team that came into the weekend with the swagger befitting a 19-11 team. The Giants finished their fifth consecutive series win and forged their first four-game win streak of the season. They have won seven of their past eight, and 12 of 16, with their two top starting pitchers, closer and second baseman out of the picture. The Giants outscored the Braves 24-9 as several hitters who began the year slowly, contributing to the team’s 7-11 start, got healthier at run-friendly SunTrust Park. Andrew McCutchen went 5-for-10 with three walks, a hit batsman and a sacrifice fly. Brandon Crawford was 8-for-14 after entering the series 20-for-98 for the season. Hanson was 6-for-14 with three doubles, a homer and two hand-first slides into the plate for runs that put a charge into the dugout.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Monday, August 27, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Monday, August 27, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Bochy: Rookie Aramis Garcia ‘ready to catch here’ Henry Schulman The Giants’ tradition of shifting coaches and executives to new responsibilities rather than firing them does pay dividends. One example is former first-base coach Bill Hayes, whom they retained as a minor-league catching instructor. Hayes worked extensively with Aramis Garcia this season, helping the 25-year-old improve his defense, the weaker part of his game early in his development. That helped Garcia get to the majors for the first time Sunday to take Buster Posey’s roster spot. “I credit a lot of the defense to Bill Hayes,” Garcia said. “Defensively, this is the best I’ve caught in my career, and that gives me a lot of confidence.” Manager Bruce Bochy said Giants evaluators have reported improvement in Garcia’s ball blocking, receiving and throwing. “He’s ready to catch here,” Bochy said. “His hitting is a work in progress.” Garcia, the club’s second-round draft pick in 2014, batted .233 with 11 homers in 80 games for Double-A Richmond, Va., where he spent most of the season. In 10 Triple-A games, he hit .237 with one extra-base hit in 38 at-bats. Do not expect to see much of Garcia on the field in the short term. His matriculation to the majors will involve a lot of discussions with new starter Nick Hundley and lessons on how the catchers, pitchers and coaches go over hitters before a game. Bochy will have Garcia sit alongside bullpen catcher Eli Whiteside during games to analyze what they are seeing.
