7/08/23	Elephant Rumblings: Luis Medina shows potential despite opener slip-up. The Oakland Athletics began utilizing an opener at the end of May in hopes that it would help some of the team's young starters. The strategy isn't always popular especially among traditional baseball fans, but can be effective when managed correctly. Friday's game should be used as an example of how not to use an opener. Sam Long started and worked around a single in a scoreless first. He returned to start the second and gave up back-to-back singles. The first hit probably should have been a red flag. I can't fault Mark Kotsay for trying to bleed another inning from Long with two left-handed hitters among the first three. Still, he might have wanted to get another reliever up and ready at the Source: https://www.athleticsnation.com/2023/7/8/23787962/...

A's Acquire Left-Hander From SF Giants Sam Long is a lefty with big-league experience and a decent walk rate Author: Jason Burke Publish date: Apr 23, 2023 11:40 PM EDT Sam Long is a lefty with big-league experience and a decent walk rate The Oakland A's announced on Sunday night that they had acquired left-handed pitcher Sam Long from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations. Long had been DFA'd by the Giants after they traded for Cal Stevenson , sending the A's cash considerations. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

7/23/22	Dodgers: Cody Bellinger Hits LA's First Grand Slam of the 2022 Season. However, lefty reliever Sam Long loaded the bases for the Dodgers in the bottom of the 8th inning, which brought up Cody Bellinger. Bellinger has struggled yet again this season to find his footing at the plate, especially against left-handed pitchers. With that being said, it didn't stop Cody from being Friday night's hero as he sent a hanging breaking ball into right field to give the Dodgers their first grand slam on the season and a 5-1 lead over their rivals.

7/07/22	SF Giants: Could Sam Long's save signal shift in bullpen strategy?. It’s not a perfect situation for anybody on any roster to come into a bases-loaded situation with the game on the line and have to record that one out. It’s very, very tough. Sam felt like a good strike-thrower right now, as good an option as we had, and we trusted him. Source: https://www.montereyherald.com/2022/07/07/did-sf-g...
6/14/22	By picking up his pace, Sam Long positions himself to pick up more innings for SF Giants. It’s one of those adjustments where it’s not going to feel great at first,” Long said. It was a little uncomfortable. The idea of going away from what’s worked for the most part in the past to hopefully improve it, it’s a bit of a leap of faith.

5/05/22	Is there cause for concern with SF Giants' bullpen?. If the lead gets extended, even dating back to last year and 2020, you’ll see us give the ball to guys that we still trust and think highly of – and Llovera’s been really good for us, Sam Long has had a nice year – these are not guys that we’re just throwing to the wolves. These are guys that we think can keep the score exactly where it is and we trust them to do so, and they’ve done that so far this season. Source: https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/05/is-there-ca...

4/23/22	Analysis: How SF Giants plan to use the 2 new players on their roster. When Jakob Junis relieved Sam Long in the third inning Friday night, he became the 999th player to appear in a game for the Giants since the club moved to San Francisco. A few innings later, Luis Gonzalez became No. Both players figure to serve important roles for the Giants, especially in the short term, as the club navigates two injuries within its starting rotation and another to its primary center fielder against right-handers.

4/20/22	Analysis: Who will replace Alex Cobb in SF Giants' rotation?. Sam Long, LHP: The Giants opted to carry Long as a guy who can eat innings and make the occasional spot start, so he would seem to be the most likely candidate to step in to Cobb’s rotation spot. He appeared in a similar role last season, appearing in 12 games, including five starts, with a 5.53 ERA. He had made only one appearance this year prior to Tuesday night and hadn’t pitched in more than a week. Source: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/04/20/analysis-w...
3/20/22	SF Giants' Sam Long ditches pitch from his arsenal — and part of his first name. It’s the best my changeup has felt going into a year,” Long said. I can just trust the three pitches and focus on executing those three. I know those three pitches are good enough to get guys out. Source: https://www.montereyherald.com/2022/03/20/sf-giant...
