And that was once again the case on Friday, as the team’s squared off for the first of two Cactus League showdowns. In a happy change of pace, however, the talent […]
The San Francisco Giants have had an offseason full of puzzling decisions, but none so baffling as this one: Glen Kuiper is returning to the booth to do radio broadcasts. The lesser of the three broadcasting Kuiper brothers (13 years younger than Duane, five years younger than producer Jeff), Glen Kuiper was the primary play-by-play […]
All good things must eventually end, and that includes the Dodgers winning streak to open the spring as the San Francisco Giants took Friday’s contest 12-4.

The Colorado Rockies’ offense continues to sizzle as they defeated the San Francisco Giants yesterday 11-3. The team is staying aggressive at the plate and on the bases, and pitching from the regulars hasn’t been too shabby either. Having defeated one National League West opponent, the boys in purple turn their sights on another as […]

Good morning baseball fans! As we approach the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general! I had to take a couple of days off because Plague-ageddon 2026 finally got me this week. But going back to the […]
For the second straight day, the San Francisco Giants engaged in a Cactus League slugfest. And for the second straight day, the power they provided was surpassed by the power they allowed. This time, it wasn’t quite as close as on Wednesday, as the Giants fell to the Colorado Rockies 11-3. The good was extremely […]

It is far, far, far too early to make any proclamations about the San Francisco Giants, positive or negative. It’s far, far, far too early to make any proclamations about any of their players, save for things like “Logan Webb is awesome,” and “Jung Hoo Lee is cool” and “Does Christian Koss have a book […]
The San Francisco Giants opened up the 2026 Cactus League with four straight victories, and they did it the old fashioned way: with pitching, defense, and small ball.

Yesterday, the Brewers finally picked up their first Cactus League win behind Tyler Black’s six (!!) RBIs. They’ll be looking to make it two straight in today’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants, who haven’t lost a game yet this spring. Carlos Rodriguez, who appeared in four games last year, will be on the mound […]
When the San Francisco Giants somewhat surprisingly signed second baseman Luis Arráez, I wrote a newser about it. It got nearly 900 comments. The next day, I asked the community how they felt about the signing. It got over 1,100 comments. My takeaway is that Giants fans love to talk about Luis Arráez. So let’s […]
The San Francisco Giants didn’t bring a lot of regulars to Tempe on Tuesday. Their entire star-studded infield was given a day to explore Scottsdale’s thriving restaurant scene, and perhaps try to relive the magic of the Waste Management Open at one of the city’s many notable golf courses. The crew that made the six-mile […]

The Athletics continued their rough start to spring training, losing 6-2 to the San Francisco Giants. The A’s stopped scoring after the first inning, while the Giants scored six unanswered runs.

The penultimate name on our list is someone […]
In the wake of two lackluster performances to open their spring training schedule, the Athletics have another chance today to nab their first preseason win as they travel to Scottsdale to take on the San Francisco Giants.

I didn’t go to this game but I kind of wish I had just because of all the weird things that happened in the Cubs’ 4-2 loss to the Giants Sunday afternoon in Scottsdale. First, as the Cubs were batting in the top of the first inning, a loud beeping sound (like a truck backing […]
