Yorvit Torrealba didn't get much of a one-out, bases-loaded offering from Giants reliever Jack Taschner, but the pinch- hitter's shallow sacrifice fly to left field scored the game's only run in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving Colorado a rare 1-0 victory over San Francisco at Coors Field

The Giants are only five games out of first! Some suggested moves to ponder: Fred Lewis, Nate Schierholtz, and Brian Wilson for Todd Jones and Carlos Guillen. Angel Villalona for Adrian Beltre Pat Misch and Jack Taschner for… Alright, so no one is advocating drastic moves like that…yet. If the Giants roll into the trading deadline only five games back, though, terror will rule the land. The team is...

In the calm of the Giants' pregame clubhouse Thursday, Jack Taschner recalled a time when he wore his baseball cap just like Alex Hinshaw: flat-billed, pulled down low, tilted off to one side. "I think I was 10 years old," he said. "Some guy comes up to me...

No television. I can't watch television today, and it still bugs me that the game isn't televised. We all understand the concept of sample size. There's a reason why we aren't all giddy about Brian Bocock's .359 OBP or thinking about Jack Taschner, All-Star Reliever. With just a handful of at-bats or innings pitched in the 2008 season, it's hard to make a definitive judgment about anything. I still...

Trips to Wisconsin always are fun for reliever Jack Taschner, who grew up here. This year, he has extra reason to smile. After a solid spring training, Taschner opened the season in Los Angeles on Tuesday night by relieving Matt Cain with the bases loaded and...

But lose. These, I'm afraid, are our San Francisco Giants. 10 singles. 2 runs. Matt Cain was a stud, going 5 2/3, allowing 3 hits and 0 runs. Jack Taschner looked like a good reason to let Steve Kline slip away, bailing Cain out in the sixth with a strikeout. But Brad Hennessey and Keiichi Yabu contributed to yielding three runs in three innings. Guh. The bullpen letdown can't be the norm

With the 25 man roster officially set, the Giants are officially ready to go for Opening Day, whatever that may entail. Steve Kline is out, while Merkin Valdez, Erick Threets, and Special Agent Jack Taschner all make the roster, rounding out a pretty solid group of bullpen arms. Getting the Opening Day nod at third [...]

It's taken six months, but I finally figured out what's bugging me about the 2007 Giants: Guys who have struggled, but whom I still like: Rich Aurilia Dave Roberts Omar Vizquel Ray Durham Jack Taschner Barry Zito Russ Ortiz Pedro Feliz Guys who struggled, and who kind of bug me Armando Benitez (excised) Matt Morris (excised) The Giants needed to pick Shea Hillenbrand off waivers just for the villain...
