Pablo Sandoval

Johnny Cueto wanted to enjoy the moment. For a 10th year veteran who recently spent six weeks on the disabled list amidst the toughest season of his professional career, who could blame him?

On Sunday afternoon at AT&T Park, the San Francisco Giants committed to honoring their past. Apparently, Pablo Sandoval took that to heart.

In a battle of two teams still within striking distance of earning the No. 1 pick in the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft, a series of wild and wacky events helped San Francisco pull out a win against the American League’s worst team.

Three-run home runs have been hard to come by for the San Francisco Giants this season. Base hits have been hard to come by for Pablo Sandoval. Like, really hard.

On August 5, the Giants promoted Sandoval from AAA Sacramento to the Major League level to begin a controversial redemption tour, and one month later, Sandoval’s hitting has managed to neutralize any fans who were on the fence about his return.

Exactly ten years ago, Giants’ slugger Barry Bonds hit home run No. 762 at Coors Field, the final blast of his record-setting career. Was the 2007 season the last time the Giants had a power presence in their lineup? Well…

After San Francisco traded starting third baseman Eduardo Nunez to the Boston Red Sox, the Giants had a glaring hole at the hot corner.

Giants’ skipper Bruce Bochy faces the same restrictions every other manager baseball faces on a daily basis. Though he could probably use a team with more depth, Bochy is limited to the 25 players he has in his clubhouse for every game.

Mike Krukow joined Murph and Mac on KNBR Wednesday where he discussed the Giants’ possible options for third base in the future.

The entire piece, entitled “Back Where I Belong,” is worth reading, as Sandoval apologizes for the way he left the organization, expresses the regret he felt while in Boston and how he did ‘everything in his power’ to get back to San Francisco after he was released by the Red Sox in July.
