Time to clean house

I have been struggling to articulate my feelings about what took place at the San Francisco Giants’ Pride Night all week. There’s a lot to say, and a lot of things have already been said. But every time I’ve tried to sit down to write this post, the words have stubbornly refused to come until […]

Giants vs. Braves postponed, rescheduled for August

As many anticipated, Thursday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves has been postponed. A storm has been tearing through the southeast, and it put all three games of the series in jeopardy: Tuesday’s game began during rainstorms, and was postponed in the second inning, though it was finished on Wednesday as part […]

Giants at Braves series finale postponed due to weather

Not even half an hour after our (doubt-laden) preview went up, the Braves have announced that tonight’s game against the San Francisco Giants has been postponed due to inclement weather. August is the month for series-salvaging makeups, as this Giants game will now be played on August 31, and the White Sox finale is set […]

Cloudy with a chance of baseball: Martín Pérez set to start Giants series finale

When it rains, it pours. Applicable to the meteorologic phenomenon plaguing Cobb County, this also goes for Cobb County’s Braves, who had two series losses going into the second week of June. They’ve now lost three straight series with last week’s a ghastly road trip and yesterday’s double-header sweep by the San Francisco Giants yesterday. […]

Giants Outright Will Brennan

The Giants announced that outfielder Will Brennan went unclaimed on waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Sacramento. He was designated for assignment a week ago. The 28-year-old Brennan reached three years of big league service with the Giants this season, which technically gives him the right to reject his assignment in favor of […]

Thursday BP: Get Arraez to the All Star Game!

Good morning, baseball fans! As annoyed as I might be with the San Francisco Giants at the moment, I’m not going to let that stop us from pursuing our All Star voting goals. The first updates on voting for this year’s game have come out and the Giants only have one player who is even […]

The Giants’ More Appealing Expensive Trade Candidate

Above only the Rockies in the National League, the Giants are seemingly beginning preparation to sell at the deadline. The early focus has been on impending free agents Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray — as well as the team’s openness to shedding the Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman contracts. Those are all self-explanatory. Arraez is an […]

Giants preview the second half, win

For a while now, Carson Whisenhunt has been targeted as a key part of San Francisco’s second-half rotation. It’s been quite a long time since anyone who isn’t employed by the Giants thought the team could make a competitive run this year, and as the season becomes more and more fleshed out — and the […]

Comeback bid comes up short as Braves lose twice to Giants on Wednesday

The Braves’ offense waited a little too long to wake up on Wednesday. After they managed just two runs in the first 16 innings against a San Francisco Giants pitching staff which entered the day 22nd in ERA (4.52), they found themselves in a 7-2 hole entering the ninth inning staring down another series loss. […]

Game 2 Gamethread: Giants @ Braves

The San Francisco Giants have another doubleheader today, after their eventual 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves was paused in the second inning on Tuesday, and finished earlier today. Because of the doubleheader, the teams are given a 27th player for the second game, and that’s exciting for the Giants, because it means the season […]

Braves vs. Giants June 17 Game 2: Chat and Discussion

The Braves turn to JR Ritchie on the mound as they look to earn a split from a virtual doubleheader on Wednesday night after 7.5 innings of Tuesday’s game played were played Wednesday afternoon. The vibes are as bad as they’ve been all season for the team, and the lineup for Game 2, which is […]

Mike Krukow on Giants players protesting Pride Night: ‘What makes San Francisco so great is the acceptance of others’

During the Giants’ annual Pride Night celebration, which honors San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community, four San Francisco players protested the team’s hats, which featured a rainbow version of the team’s logo. Three pitchers, Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker, wrote a Bible verse on their Pride Night hats. The verses all referenced similar passages in…
