Grant here. I was lounging in the Cohn Zohn this morning – talking on the Cohn Phohn, reclining on the Cohn Throhn – and a comment-starter popped in my head. The Giants have a real problem against left-handed pitchers. Last night after the game my dad posted his impressions of [...]
My son Grant wrote a piece for ComcastSportsNet BayArea listing five must-watch players on the A's and Giants. These are not the usual guys. I mean we know the usual guys like Tim Lincecum and Trevor Cahill. Those guys are obvious gimmes. The ones he's writing about are the not [...]
Miguel Tejada may not be adequate at shortstop. That bad throw to second was the turning point of the game. He needs to show he can play and that includes hitting. Pablo Sandoval still swings at anything and he still does not hit righty. You give up on Pat Burrell [...]
As part of my writing duties I came up with a preview of the Giants' season as my Thursday column. It was a pleasure to write as I believe the Giants are loaded and possibly are even better than last season. If Brandon Belt is Buster Posey II they almost [...]
ComcastSportsNet BayArea just posted a multi-media piece on Bruce Bochy by Grant. When we were down in Arizona Grant interviewed Bochy one one one about his passion for wine -- California and French. Bochy told Grant how he got into wine drinking, where he tastes, what wine he likes and [...]
I'm posting my Wednesday column based on an interview I did a few days ago in Arizona with Giants general manager Brian Sabean, the architect of the World Series win in 2010. It was probably the mood I caught Sabean in, but as long as I've known him I've never [...]
For my Tuesday column I wrote about Pablo Sandoval, the Panda. He was a disappointment last season and he suffered for it, lost his starting job. Part of the reason for his down season was his weight, as in he was bloated, as in he ate everything in sight. It's [...]
Here is the Giants batting order today vs. the Brewers: Torres F. Sanchez Huff Posey Tejada Burrell Ross Sandoval Rowand Here's my theory on Giants batting order: The first four guys are the first four guys, period. They're set. But 5 through 8 (in this case 9) can shift all [...]
The San Francisco Giants are known as a team that can pitch -- they've earned that reputation. There's something new. Maybe you haven't noticed but the Giants, as currently constructed, also can hit, can hit like crazy. This is a better team than the World Series champion Giants because it [...]
Jeff Fletcher, baseball writer extradinaire and my great friend, just sent me this piece he wrote on his blog Bay Bridge Baseball. It is about Brandon Belt and the Brandon Belt phenomenon and what the Giants should do or should not do with their high-profile rookie. Fletch sent it to [...]
