Not long into his first spring training as the Giants' new manager, Bob Melvin was mad. “No one's going to remember it, but we remember it right now, and every game you suit up for, you go out there to win,” Melvin fumed to reporters last February. There was no such issue this spring, which the Giants finished off under the Tuesday afternoon sun in the same fashion as most of their previous 30 exhibitions. Jordan Hicks pitched an efficient five-plus innings, Tyler Fitzgerald smacked a two-run homer and scored a run, and the Giants beat the Tigers, 4-3.

The memories probably will come flooding back when Buster Posey steps foot in Great American Ball Park on Thursday. It was home to one of the great comebacks in postseason history, sparked by Hunter Pence's rousing speech in the visiting clubhouse. Posey's grand slam in Game 5 of the National League Division Series in 2012 capped the comeback, which led to a second title in three years. The problem this season for the Giants, now run by Posey, won't be imagining what they can do in a short series.

By any objective measure, Logan Webb had a great year. Webb wasn't dissatisfied, by no means. Webb has never been above experimenting, and leading up to his seventh season there wasn't a single element of his game that was off limits in the pursuit of excellence.

Bold decisions to change Major League Baseball's longstanding rules quickened the pace of games and revived the popularity of stealing bases over the last few years. Last year, only four teams had their starters pitch at least 900 innings, led by Seattle with 942 2/3.
