  • SF Giants Press Clips Tuesday, August 7, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Tuesday, August 7, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Giants blow 9th-inning lead, fall 3-1 to Astros John Shea The world champs came to town, though they weren’t quite as recognizable as they were in October because of injuries to several front-line players. In the end, it didn’t matter. The Astros were still the Astros. The Giants were one out from beating shorthanded Houston 1-0 in Monday night’s opener of a quick two-game series, but closer Will Smith yielded a three-run homer to Marwin Gonzalez, permitting the Astros to celebrate a 3-1 victory. For much of the evening, the story line for the Giants was Brandon Crawford’s sixth-inning home run and seven spectacular innings by Rookie of the Year candidate Dereck Rodriguez, who has been a savior in a year the rotation has been undermined by injuries. Smith walked Alex Bregman with one out and Yuli Gurriel with two away. Gonzalez crushed a 1- 0, down-the-middle fastball, and the Giants were denied their sixth win in eight games. “That’s baseball,” Rodriguez said. “Sometimes you’re dominant, and sometimes it’s just one bad pitch. Everybody’s trying. The great thing about this sport is, tomorrow (Smith) is going to get the ball again when we have the lead in the ninth inning. That’s part of the game, and that’s why we play.” Afterward, in the quiet of the clubhouse, Smith and Rodriguez crossed paths. Smith told the rookie he pitched beautifully, and the rookie wanted it known he had Smith’s back.

Instead, the A’s signaled clear­ ly Tuesday that “piggyback­ ing” is the new opener. The previous Wednesday, Anderson went five innings before Jesús Luzardomade his big­league debut and An­ derson joked he was just Lu­ zardo’s “caddie.” In the A’s 2­1 victory Tues­ day, Anderson caddied for Oakland’s other top pitching prospect, A.J. Puk, who got the win thanks to a mammoth game­tying blast by Matt Ol­ son and a go­ahead double by Seth Brown in the seventh. With the win, the A’s re­ duced their magic number for a playoff spot to nine; they held a 1½ game lead temporar­ ily over Tampa Bay, which was still playing Tuesday night, and 2½ games over Cleveland.

  • 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.
