May 19, 2013Giants' lose 10-2 to Rockies
San Francisco Chronicle — Giants' lose 10-2 to Rockies When the Giants completed a 7-3 homestand by outscoring the Braves 23-4 over the final three games, folks could daydream about more October baseball. The pitching has been dreadful, with the starters allowing eight, eight, six, nine and six runs in this turn through the rotation, the final six charged to Tim Lincecum in five innings Saturday. Ten of those 37 runs were unearned, thanks to some of the 12 errors this supposed pitching-and-defense team has committed, including three more Saturday after Bochy closed the clubhouse doors and told the team to focus on ...
May 18, 2013Giants lose wild one under Coors big top
San Francisco Chronicle — Giants lose wild one under Coors big top If you said Jordan Pacheco, whose fifth-inning grand slam off Madison Bumgarner broke a 5-5 tie, thanks for playing and better luck next time. Fowler's play stood in complete contrast to the Giants' defense, the real culprit in a loss that ended their 10-game win streak against Colorado - and for that matter, their 1-3 trip. The Bumgarner, Sandoval and Pagan throwing errors helped the Rockies overcome a 4-0 Giants lead and made two of Bumgarner's career-worst nine runs unearned. Errors aside, it was a 5-5 game when Bumgarner walked D.J. LeMaheiu wi...

May 18, 2013POSTGAME NOTES: Giants not panicking after latest rough night
Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — How do you explain this? I’m not even sure the guys in the clubhouse know how to properly do so. Tim Lincecum said he thinks players are trying to do too much, a notion Hunter Pence agreed with, saying each guy has to trust himself at the plate, on the mound and in the field. [...]
May 18, 2013Saturday’s Giants/Rockies lineups
Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — If you missed it earlier, Brett Pill was sent back to Triple-A Fresno and Jean Machi was brought back. Pill certainly did nothing to get sent down, but the Giants need another arm given how the starters have looked this week. Plus, a couple guys in that bullpen look a little gassed. Pagan CF Scutaro [...]
May 18, 2013POSTGAME NOTES: A familiar line for a Giants SP; Nothing brewing between Bumgarner, Tulowitzki
Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — The four errors were an issue, and we’ll get to that in a second. But the more important number tonight is 37.
