The world of expected statistics, some call them nonsense, I call them a goldmine. Roughly 10% into the year and most statistics are regressing to the mean, league averages sit where we’d expect with. Team’s are beginning to give us a sight on how good they actually are, beyond their records of course. Some players […] Read

The Giants in the second half of last year were nothing short of horrendous. It felt like they were swinging snooker cues at times out there, and certainly not potting any colours. Additions were made this offseason to turn this around, a lot of money committed as well. So, why are Giants fans (including myself) […] Read

Welcome to the first watch along style report, I thought I’d try something new considering I watch all these games alone, why not share my reactions and thoughts with you as soon as the game finishes? Pregame – I feel nervous about this game, it feels like an important game to win. Feels like we […] Read

The Giants are 3-6, an underwhelming start to many fans and particularly disappointing when you consider the last 6 games since I last wrote resulted in a 1-5 record.

As I awoke this morning from my two month long nap (also known as a broken laptop), I saw the news that I’d been expecting, excited for but dreading. Blake Snell is a Giant, the reigning Cy Young winner is on my team! The guy I wrote my second ever piece on why we shouldn’t […] Read

I know, I know, don’t sign the reigning Cy Young winner when there’s an apparent glaring need for a front of the rotation starter, but just hear me out. Snell posted a 2.25 ERA, with a 31.5 K% and .266 WOBA which are just the highlights of a crazy stat line posted by the 31 […] Read

The Giants have further addressed their starting pitching needs with, an injury prone reliever? Obviously, there’s more to it than that, this is however, a big risk taken by a front office under pressure from both fans and 3 out of 4 (sorry Rockies) other teams in their division. So let’s break down what this […] Read
