RE: Trivia: SF Giants - cardcrimson - 01-14-2021
Jon Miller count?
RE: Trivia: SF Giants - Phogge - 01-14-2021
If Miller counts so do Lon Simmons, Russ Hodges and Bobby Stevens and Nick Peters.

Hints. Looks like a duck but not
RE: Trivia: SF Giants - Phogge - 01-14-2021
Michaels was with the Reds and worked a couple of seasons with the Giants before going to NBC. Later he worked for ABC and then returned to NBC for Sunday Night Football. I think one of his partners in San Francisco was Art Eckman.

LeMaster!
RE: Trivia: SF Giants - Phogge - 01-14-2021
Crimson, I mentioned Stevens and Peters above, both of whom won the writers' equivalent to the Frick. Nick for East Bay papers and Stevens for the Chronicle. He cut his teeth covering the Seals.
I forgot the great and wonderful Leonard Koppett who spent much of his retirement in press boxes at Candlestick and Pac Bell.
Bobbbbbb's last guy completely escaped me and caused me to slap my head when I found out who.

Got it. Should have searched the names, as I didn't know them. Don't remember many sportswriters, perhaps Glenn Dickey, read the Sporting Green every day growing up, but never paid attention to the bylines.

Goose Gossage?
RE: Trivia: SF Giants - BobK - 01-14-2021
Yes the Goose is it
RE: Trivia: SF Giants - Papa John - 01-14-2021
I either forgot or never knew Gossage was a Giant.

Just 30 games
OT. Giants sign Alex Wood - lex24 - 01-14-2021
1 year 3 Million. With up to 3 Million on incentives based on getting 10 outs..... That’s a sorry commentary on today’s starting pitchers....
Typical Farhan move. Low risk decent potential upside. Never been a fan. But he’s had some good years. And some bad and injured ones. At least they now have a lefty in the rotation.
Giants - Mick - 01-14-2021
Who holds the all-time Giants franchise record for fewest hits allowed per nine innings pitched over the course of a single season, minimum 50 innings pitched over the course of a season?
Not you, Christy Mathewson.
Not you, Carl Hubbell.
Not you, Madison Bumgarner.
Not you, Gaylord Perry.
Not you Tim Lincecum, Johnny Antonelli, Ruben Gomez, Matt Cain, Bill Swift, Amos Rusie, Rich Gossage, Rick Reuschel, Mike Krukow, Ron Bryant, Bobby Bolin, Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton, Orel Hershiser, Ray Sadecki, Joe McGinnity, Jim O'Rourke, Burleigh Grimes, Tim Keefe, Waite Hoyt, Greg Minton, John Montefusco, Jim Barr, Gary Lavelle, Javy Lopez, Sergio Romo, Brian Wilson or Jeremy Affeldt.
Who was it?
RE: OT. Giants sign Alex Wood - Phogge - 01-15-2021
You left out Marichal and Ed Halicki.
It’s not Ron Herbal, Frank Reberger or Don Liddle.
How about Hoyt Wilhelm?

The “10 out” provision protects Wood from being the second guy in after an opener. The old notion of incentives based on starts can now be found in the dumpster.
I had a feeling they would sign Wood. He is has some history with Farhan. I like the move - lots of upside; very little downside. As you noted - a typical Farhan move....
