It’s another season of change for Major League Baseball. For the first time ever, hitters and catchers will have the chance to overturn called balls and strikes in official games. Are the days of ejections for arguing balls and strikes over? How do Major League Baseball fans feel about the game’s evolution? Bryce Eldridge drew […]
Record 7-8. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-10-1. The streaking Diamondbacks continued – and not in a good way. After winning five spring games in a row, they have now dropped four on the trot. They had the lead here early, courtesy of a first-inning home-run from catcher Gabriel Moreno, and Kohl Drake made […]
Just time for the barest of Gameday Threads this afternoon. Here’s our line-up, which saw a late change with Crisantes coming in to replace Torin. There were also some shuffling of other positions, like Vargas moving over to 3B and Fernandez covering short in place of Torin: A busy day of World Baseball Classic baseball […]
Today the Texas Rangers head over to Scottsdale, AZ for a Cactus League matchup against the San Francisco Giants. Taking the mound for Texas will be LHP Jacob Latz in his latest audition for the fifth spot in the rotation. Opposing him will be LHP Carson Whisenhunt for San Francisco. Today’s Lineups RANGERS GIANTS Sam […]
Happy weekend, baseball fans. How ‘bout them Giants? They’re cruising! Try to forget that the Cactus League is mostly meaningless, and live in a happy world of dominant Giants baseball. Sami usually writes the BPs, but a combination of sickness and birthday celebration has put me on the duty for a few days. But, had […]
Logan Webb took the mound tonight, just not for our humble San Francisco Giants, but for Team USA in their World Baseball Classic opener. His second pitch for the Stars and Stripes got blasted nearly 400 feet. He went on to retire the next dozen batters, discarding half of them by way of the K. […]
The Cincinnati Reds will roll out lefty Andrew Abbott for another tune-up start today when they take on the San Francisco Giants at their stadium over in Scottsdale, Arizona. They’ll also be up against an old friend as righty Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants. The Reds, who still refuse to post anywhere […]
On March 19, less than a week before their Opening Day showdown with the New York Yankees, the San Francisco Giants will play the Cincinnati Reds in this year’s Spring Breakout game. The Spring Breakout, which is in its third year, is an exhibition made up entirely of prospects, and is one of the most […]
Opening Day for the 2026 Major League Baseball season is about three weeks away (beginning officially with a standalone game between the Yankees and Giants on March 25), and while there are several former Tigers already in the Big Leagues, LSU’s pipeline to The Show is alive and well. On Thursday the MLB announced preliminary […]
Spring training doesn’t count, but the Mariners currently sit at 3-8 after losing again to the Giants last night. Spring training doesn’t count and also spring training doesn’t count, but it would sure be nice to bank another win, even if spring training doesn’t count. Lineups: Also slated to pitch for the Mariners: Casey Lawrence, […]
Hello everyone! The Mariners played a late one last night, dropping the contest to the Giants by a 9-4 final. It’s a bit disappointing that unlike many teams, the Mariners don’t get to play an exhibition against a World Baseball Classic squad. It would have been cool to see some of our own stars playing […]
The San Francisco Giants have had a fairly healthy Spring Training but, like all teams, they’re not 100% healthy. There have been a few players notably absent, but on Wednesday, the team released some injury updates for their ailing players. Most notable were updates to a pair of relievers, lefty Reiver Sanmartin and righty Joel […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Over the weekend, I asked the McCovey Chronicles community to weigh in and give some shout outs to their fellow community members. You all absolutely delivered en masse, and I’d like to share some of the responses here. There was no way I could include everything from the thread, as we […]
The San Francisco Giants knew their part on Tuesday and they played it well. Perhaps a little too well, if you ask me. The Giants hosted a star-studded Team USA on Tuesday at Scottsdale Stadium, serving as the tune-up appetizer before the World Baseball Classic starts later this week. And an appetizer they were. A […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today, the San Francisco Giants get the honor of hosting the World Baseball Classic’s Team USA for an exhibition game! So let’s take a look at what we can expect for that. Today’s game will start at 12:05 p.m. PT and it will air nationally on ESPN, with local radio coverage […]
The San Francisco Giants entered the offseason with a lot of young starting pitchers who were equal parts exciting and unproven. Pitchers who could break camp with the team and prove to be a vital asset in the bullpen and critical rotational depth, like Hayden Birdsong was in the first half of last year. But […]
The Arizona sun was blazing, Giants fans were howling (it was so obnoxious on the live stream), and the White Sox? Well, tally up another one-run loss. Despite 101 mph on the gun, a bomb by Luisangel Acuña, and Miguel Vargas flashing leather, none of it mattered. The Sox couldn’t hold on late and dropped […]
The South Side swagger is alive and well, rolling into Camelback Ranch with a vengeance. Yesterday’s 5-1 beatdown of the Cubs was just what Sox fans needed with four bombs, a little catharsis, and a reminder that the Good Guys can still mash when the mood strikes. Now, Chicago gets to take their swings against […]
Good morning, baseball fans! San Francisco Giants Spring Training baseball is in full swing, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck this week. First up, the Giants will hit the road to take on the Chicago White Sox at 12:05 p.m. PST this afternoon. This will be the only road game until the […]
The San Diego Padres had a rough day on the diamond on Sunday. The question when it was all over is who had it worse, the pitchers or the hitters? Padres pitching allowed nine runs in the 9-1 loss but managed just five hits off Giants pitching. Two of the five San Diego hits went […]
The San Diego Padres scored a run in the top of the first inning in their meeting with the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Park in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Sunday, but it all went down hill after the top half of the inning. The Giants responded with three runs in the bottom half of the […]
