In the ninth inning of the Giant’s 7-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, San Francisco rookie relief pitcher Joseph Martinez was struck in the head by a line drive off of the bat of Milwaukee center fielder Mike Cameron.  Martinez got to his feet before collapsing as Giant trainers and medical personnel came to his aid.  He walked off the field under his own strength and was taken to a hospital for a CT scan.  Test results are pending.   He might have to do some time on the 15 day DL with this one. 

With the recent death of actress Natasha Richardson from head trauma following extended moments of apparent lucidity, the team can’t be too careful with this incident.  Let’s hope they err on the side of caution. 

The San Francisco Giants got hammered by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday afternoon by the score of 8-2.  The Giants pitchers did not have their good stuff today, as every pitcher that pitched gave up atleast one earned run.

Starting pitcher Kevin Correia took the loss after pitching six innings and giving up five hits and five earned runs.  Correia’s record is now 1-2 on the season.  Brad Hennessey pitched two innings in relief of Correia and gave up three hits and two earned runs.  Erick Threets pitched one inning and gave up one earned run.

Aaron Roward and Jose Castillo had one RBI each for the offense.  That was all the offense the Giants could get off the Diamondbacks pitchers.

Giants Blog

There is a new San Francisco Giants Baseball Blog on the Internet! SfGiantsHomePlate.Com has been created to blog about the Giants Baseball team.  From game reviews to tickts, all the way to Giants merchandise we will be blogging about it all!

The Giants have a long road ahead of them coming into the 2008 season.  They will go on without Barry Bonds more then likely.  Management is looking to possibly trade Matt Cain or Tim Linecum for Alex Rios of the Blue Jays.  I don’t see why they would want to do that however.  You have to build your team around those two stud pitchers.

What do you think?  Is trading Cain or Linecum a good idea at this point?  Leave us a comment and let us know!
