Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
The concept of a team captain isn’t all that important and fans will typically project their favorite player as the face of the franchise, but with Brandon Belt Celebration Day just 12 days out, it got me thinking, “Who is the captain of the Giants?“ Like, if we had to pick and Tony Vitello wasn’t […]
On Thursday, Brady asked you which part of the roster was most responsible for the Giants’ not-so-good start to the season and here is the latest SB Nation Reacts survey response! Respondents have it exactly right, which is always great to see. Whatever one’s feelings about the lineup might be — and, to be sure, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so it’s time to take a look ahead at what’s on deck for this week. First up, the Giants have an off-day today before heading to Cincinnati to begin a three-game series against the Reds. After that, they head to the nation’s […]
Sunday afternoon in Baltimore. A pleasant breeze swirled around the baked brick of Camden Yards, carrying the warm tang of Old Bay seasoning. One would be forgiven if the pleasant atmosphere suggested a sedate affair, a leisurely stroll of a game. The Giants had gone down in order at the top of the inning against […]
It’s series finale time! The San Francisco Giants are facing the Baltimore Orioles one more time, and then they’re off to Cincinnati, albeit with a well-deserved day off first. For the Giants, it will be righty Adrian Houser on the mound, as he makes his third start of the year for the team. The 33-year […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of baseball today, which means it’s time to discuss our favorite highlights of the week! This week, I’m giving the honors to Rafael Devers’ three-run home run in Wednesday’s 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Philies! Devers faced off against Phillies starter Aaron […]
After a spirited victory in the series opener, the San Francisco Giants will look to win their series against the Baltimore Orioles today, in the second game of their nine-game road trip. The Giants are sending their ace to the mound, as right-hander Logan Webb will make his fourth start of the year. On the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s another weekend of San Francisco Giants baseball, which means it’s time to figure out who was this week’s Player of the Week! Personally, I’ve got to give this week’s honors to Daniel Susac! Not only did Susac have a three-hit game in last Thursday’s 7-2 win over the New York […]
At some point this year, there was a brief moment — a very brief moment, but a moment nonetheless — where you wondered if the San Francisco Giants would win three games this season. And now they’ve won three straight. Things can change quickly, it turns out. The Giants beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on […]
The San Francisco Giants begin this three-game road series against the Baltimore Orioles this afternoon. Tonight’s game will only be broadcast on Apple TV, so just a heads up if you don’t have that you’ll have to tune in on the radio. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters […]
After two straight perfect days, the San Francisco Giants finally saw one of their Minor League Baseball affiliates lose on Thursday….and then another one, too. But it was still a very nice day on the farm. So let’s talk about it. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in […]
The Baltimore Orioles have been run by one of the Moneyball 2.0 acolytes since the Giants hired Farhan Zaidi in November 2018. Mike Elias was part of the Astros’ front office, and their innovation on the Billy Beane way of running a baseball team* was not only to cheat, but to infuse data and “inefficiencies” […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are officially two weeks into the San Francisco Giants season, so I thought now would be a good time to check in and see how folks are feeling so far. We already have a standing feature for Friday BPs when the team is at home, so I’m thinking we can […]
It’s still early enough that looking at numbers probably falls outside the zone of fan interest. Even that pesky win-loss record isn’t supposed to matter as we wade into the season’s waters. But there are some areas of performance that are still worth keeping an eye on, if only to assuage or confirm our fears. […]
Wednesday was a good day. For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants and their four Minor League Baseball A-ball affiliates all won their games. That’s a whole lot of winning, so let’s talk about it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Giants fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It hasn’t been the start to the season that the San Francisco Giants wanted. And unfortunately, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are off today, before heading to the East Coast to take on the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow. I wanted to try something new this season. I thought we could do something fun for off-days and watch some vintage Giants games of seasons past. I will try to take […]
Things were very different in 2013. Barry Zito was completing a wildly successful eight-year contract with the San Francisco Giants. America was falling in love with a prehistoric family called The Croods and an up-and-coming rapper from the Pacific Northwest named Macklemore. Anthony Weiner was running for mayor and Toronto mayor Rob Ford (R.I.P.) was […]
I don’t know about you, but I sure am happy that Minor League Baseball is back. It’s probably easier to be excited about the Minors since the San Francisco Giants aren’t worth being excited about, but it’s also just great having so much baseball around, and optimism in the air. All four of the Giants […]
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this series against the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 7.00 ERA, 5.04 FIP, with nine strikeouts to three walks in nine innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants announced that they would be working with ElevenLabs, an AI research and product company, in an upcoming multi-year partnership at Oracle Park. ElevenLabs will become the presenting sponsor of Oracle Park’s Championship Suite. They will also “deploy AI voice and audio technology throughout the […]
On Monday, the San Francisco Giants lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4, and I crafted an entire maybe-I’m-thinking-about-this-too-much narrative to go with it. In my recap, I mentioned the sloppiness and (in)attention to detail that has plagued the Giants through this cold, hard, long two-week season, and how they appeared to rid themselves of it […]
The San Francisco Giants continue their series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.38 ERA, 4.39 FIP with 11 strikeouts to three walks in 10.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-2 win […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Last week, the San Francisco Giants social media team shared a YouTube video about the Giants Mini Golf Classic, featuring Bryce Eldridge, Drew Gilbert, Christian Koss, Grant McCray and Blade Tidwell! I thought we could take a look at that while we wait for tonight’s game. So settle in, get your […]
If you’re wondering why the San Francisco Giants have won just three of their first eight games, well, the answer is very simple: they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball. If you’re wondering why they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball, well … that answer is not so simple. The search for that answer keeps […]
