Pablo Sandoval

For his career, Sandoval’s OPS from the left side (.831) is over 150 points higher than when he hits right handed (.674). At this point, according to Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow, Sandoval should no longer be a switch-hitter.

If someone told Giants’ manager Bruce Bochy on Sunday morning that his two starting pitchers, Chris Stratton and Matt Moore, would combine to throw 13.2 innings and allow two earned runs against the Washington Nationals that day, San Francisco’s skipper probably wouldn’t have believed it.

In the top half of the seventh inning on Sunday night, Pablo Sandoval unleashed a memorable swing against Scherzer, and it silenced fans at Nationals Park.

Three hours ahead of the Giants’ Saturday evening matchup with the Diamondbacks, relief pitcher Albert Suarez, outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and outfielder Jarrett Parker were sitting around their lockers, busting up in laughter and bouncing stories off the centerpiece of the conversation. That centerpiece, of course, was Pablo Sandoval.

There were days when a Madison Bumgarner start at AT&T Park against the defending World Series champions had serious implications. And perhaps, in a micro sense, Wednesday was one of those days.

The Giants brought Pablo Sandoval back to the club hoping that his energetic presence will liven up the team’s clubhouse and that his power bat will find its groove back in a familiar setting.

Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper told Murph & Mac on Tuesday morning that Sandoval’s willingness to help a young player, especially one that plays the same position, shows that he is a different person than he was during his first stint in San Francisco.

On August 7, 2007, Ryder Jones was an eighth grader in Oklahoma when Barry Bonds hit his 756th career home run to pass Henry Aaron and become Major League Baseball’s home run king.
