The Rockies entered today’s game with a series win already wrapped up and a chance to sweep a scuffling division rival. Instead, they lost […]

5/31 Gamethread: Giants @ Rockies

The San Francisco Giants are playing awful baseball, and have lost six straight.

Rebuild? In our moment of triumph?

Should the San Francisco Giants initiate a formal, but modest rebuild with just a year and a half left on Buster Posey’s deal?

This game doesn’t deserve a recap title

What’s worse? An 8-6 loss decided in the 9th, or an 8-3 loss pretty much decided in the 1st? Trick question, because they’re all the same to the Giants at this point.  Some teams can look at Friday’s walk-off bummer, highlight the solid situational hitting that got them six runs, cull the bullpen performances while […]

Did the Giants give up another walkoff? Coors they did.

A drunken lifeguard. A laptop with no disk space. A millenial regularly buying and consuming avocado toast. The San Francisco Giants bullpen. What do they have in common? They’re not good at saving. That was the case Friday night at Coors Field, where the Colorado Rockies hit two home runs and scored five runs off […]
