Pablo Sandoval Pitched A Perfect Inning, And It Was Just Fucking Perfect
Saturday’s slate of Major League games featured a number of hideous blowouts. The White Sox crushed the Royals by eight runs in Kansas City. The Rays scored 12 runs on 18 hits against the Red Sox.

Giants' Brandon Belt Works Historic 21-Pitch Plate Appearance, To No Avail
Brandon Belt of the Giants worked an insane 13-minute, 21-pitch plate appearance in the top of the first inning today, against Angels starter Jaime Barria. This strikes me as almost a troll move! Barria faced six batters in the inning, gave up three singles, and loaded the bases—he threw 28 pitches ...
Guy Fails To Catch Foul Ball, Neighboring Beer Suffers Consequences

The San Francisco Giants Aren't Fixed, But They're Appealing
The 2018 San Francisco Giants would have been a great team in 2013. But it isn’t 2013, and the Giants, who this offseason have traded for Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, are in odd shape as they try to escape a payroll, personnel, and farm system crisis....

Multiple Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, who seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth since he last pitched in 2016, has reappeared on baseball fans’ radar looking far beefier than he ever did on a pitcher’s mound.

For Now, It Looks Like Giancarlo Stanton Will Either Be A Cardinal Or A Giant
Giancarlo Stanton in St. Louis? Giancarlo Stanton in San Francisco? If you’re dreaming about where the defending National League MVP might end up next season, there’s no sense in dreaming any bigger than that. The Stanton sweepstakes are reportedly down to the Cardinals and the Giants, and Stanton w...
The Giants Are Going For Giancarlo Stanton
Baseball’s hot stove is preheating, but nothing major can really get cooking until the winter’s two big deals get done. The first, Japanese import Shohei Ohtani, appears to have no timeline. But the second, the expected trade of Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, sounds like it’s gathering momentum....
Tim Lincecum has all but disappeared, Mercury News reporter Dan Brown writes. The San Francisco Giants want to honor him at the ballpark, but haven’t been able to get in touch with him. If you know where to find The Freak, email [email protected]....

Pablo Sandoval Is Hitless In 37 At-Bats, And The Giants Have Given Up
The San Francisco Giants currently have the worst record in all of Major League Baseball, and are running Pablo Sandoval, whom they dragged out of the Boston Harbor earlier this year, out to third base every day.
