Latest news and updates about the Giants
Walker Buehler is one of a handful of pitchers competing for a spot at the back of the San Diego Padres rotation. He made a strong case for himself with a dominant start against the San Francisco Giants. Buehler threw five scoreless innings and recorded seven strikeouts while allowing three hits and two walks. The […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Also, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The San Francisco Giants do not play today, so instead I thought we’d take another look at Sunday’s game. Spring Training games aren’t usually ones that stand out in the memory hole, but Sunday’s game is definitely going to be an outlier. Not only did the […]

A day after flirting with perfection, the Giants were perfectly inept at capitalizing on scoring opportunities. In their 3-1 loss against the San Diego Padres, San Francisco bats went hitless in a baker’s dozen worth of at-bats, including three duds in the 9th inning after Osleivis Basabe’s lead-off triple. Tyler Fitzgerald’s sacrifice fly in the […]

Is this an omen? Like Benny the Jet knocking the cover off a ball in “The Sandlot” — is Gregory Santos botching a perfect game with two outs in the 9th a sign of terrible things to come? Is this 2026 bullpen going to be the death of the San Francisco Giants? Did not the […]

Box Score As the headline suggests, there weren’t many positives in today’s game. The Brewers were just one out away from falling victim to a combined perfect game, ultimately losing 7–1 to the San Francisco Giants. Giants starter Robbie Ray went five innings, racking up eight Ks in the process. Relievers Carson Seymour, Tristan Beck, […]

Hayden Birdsong’s tough spring just took a turn for the worse. The San Francisco Giants’ 24-year old right-hander entered camp hoping to earn a bullpen role as well as the job of next-man-up in the rotation, but his first two outings of the spring were a disaster, and far too reminiscent of his collapse during […]

Milwaukee snapped a four-game losing streak yesterday in an 8-4 win over the Colorado Rockies. Today’s game pits the Brewers against another NL West opponent, the San Francisco Giants. Shane Drohan will get the start in what will be his fourth appearance of the spring. The 6’3” lefty has racked up 10 strikeouts over 8 […]

With the best record and run differential in the Cactus League for the second Spring Training in a row, it makes a lot of sense that the San Francisco Giants fans are feeling pretty good about the team heading into the regular season. For the moment, let’s ignore what actually happened after last Spring Training’s […]

Record: 10-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning Record: 5-15-2. The Diamondbacks came back from five runs down, powered largely by Jacob Amaya’s grand-slam (below). An eighth inning home-run by Angel Ortiz then gave Arizona the lead, as they won consecutive games for the first time since March 4. It wasn’t a great day for the […]

Another double-dip day, and in the World Baseball Classic, Italy and Puerto Rico is already under way. Remarkably, the Italians put up a four-spot in the bottom of the first, so their Cinderella story continues. I’m trying to think of an equivalent team reaching the World Cup semi-final. Morocco were unexpected semi-finalists last time. Maybe […]

A few days ago, I took a microscope and a fine comb to some Cactus League stats for the San Francisco Giants hitters. Today it’s time to do the same thing, except for the pitchers. The goal is simple: take data that’s already too small to be meaningful, and split it into even smaller, less […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Per reporting from John Shea of The San Francisco Standard, the San Francisco Giants will get the honor of hosting Netflix’s first baseball broadcast this season on Opening Day. Now, I’m not the best person to write on this. I have been crusading against the streaming wars taking over baseball one […]

The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game: The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went […]

Last season, the San Francisco Giants defied conventional bullpen wisdom by deciding that left-handed relievers weren’t important. They went most of the season with just one lefty specialist in the bullpen, first Erik Miller and then Joey Lucchesi. Lucchesi finished 13th on the team with 38.1 innings and Miller was 15th with 30 innings in […]

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants will be playing the Kansas City Royals on the road today at 1:05 p.m. PDT. Unfortunately it will not be televised, but you can listen in on the MLB At Bat app (and probably KNBR, but it doesn’t specify.) While we wait, their social media team recently […]

The San Francisco Giants made the controversial decision this offseason to only mildly shore up their starting pitching. They entered the winter with two holes in their starting five, and they did address those holes with two additions, in the form of Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle. That was a very modest shoring up. Those […]
