Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. I think you can all guess what’s coming […]
Just three games for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates on Wednesday, as High-A Eugene and the Arizona Complex League Giants both had the day off. Let’s get into the action that did occur, though, as it was pretty nice! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions […]

Wednesday was Career Day at Oracle Park, a day where students could “learn about careers in sports and media with an exclusive Q&A with San Francisco Giants Front Office executives.” They got to see the Giants lose their second straight to the San Diego Padres, 5-1, a game where the team and the organization were […]
Apologies to anyone who was looking for a mega roundup on Monday recapping the weekend’s games. I sadly was unable to get to it this time around, but you can expect it next weekend! Now let’s dive into Tuesday’s action on the farm, which featured 4 games … the Arizona Complex League is in action, […]
The San Francisco Giants conclude their three-game series against the San Diego Padres this afternoon, and they’re hoping for a much-needed series win. We’re also hoping for that. Taking the mound for the Giants is righty Adrian Houser, who is still trying to find his groove this season. Houser has made six starts this year, […]

The San Francisco Giants’ offense came to life on Tuesday, and it is critical that you understand that “come to life” is a relative term. Life, in living and breathing human being terms, may be binary, but in baseball parlance it is not. For the Giants, coming to life means they scored exactly five runs, […]
Near the end of Tuesday’s telecast of the San Diego Padres’ 10-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants, broadcaster Duane Kuiper tried to look on the bright side of Matt Chapman’s 0-for-4 night. “If it’s any consolation,” Kuiper said, “Chapman’s had the longest out in this game.” That’s how hard it was to find a […]
The San Francisco Giants play game two of this three-game home series against the San Diego Padres tonight from Oracle Park, and they’re looking to take the series win after a 3-2 victory on Monday. Taking the mound for the Giants is their ace, righty Logan Webb, who is making his eighth start of the […]
The San Francisco Giants are swapping right-handed pitchers ahead of Tuesday’s home game against the San Diego Padres. A few hours before the game, the team announced that right-handed starter Trevor McDonald had been optioned to AAA Sacramento, while right-handed reliever Joel Peguero had been activated off the 15-Day Injured List. It might seem like […]

The San Francisco Giants, feckless and fully on life support after one of the worst road trips in franchise history, were in desperation mode after Sunday’s defeat. As we’ve been told since birth, desperate times call for desperate measures, and in baseball parlance, desperate measures means desperate transactions. And so it wasn’t surprising that the […]
The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game home series against the San Diego Padres tonight from Oracle Park. Game #35 Who: San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres Where: Oracle Park, San Francisco, California When: 6:45 p.m. PT Regional broadcast: NBC Sports Bay Area National broadcast: n/a Radio: KNBR 680 AM/104.5 FM, KSFN 1510 AM
It’s the unofficial Star Wars celebration day out there and while I don’t condone it, I recognize that I’m in the minority. For one thing, I’m a Star Trek guy. And the other thing is I think it’s incredibly dumb to use a speech impairment as the basis for celebration. Also, what are we celebrating? […]
The San Francisco Giants were still licking their wounds after the pasting the New York Yankees gave them opening week and it seemed as though their division rival the San Diego Padres would extend the misery. Instead, the Giants took 2 out of 3 and left San Diego with the same 2-4 record as the […]
Baseball history isn’t predictive so much as it’s instructive. Even if batters aren’t hitting at the same rate as decades before, we can still know that hitters who live in the .190-.220 range are probably not very good at that skill. Pitchers with a 5.00 ERA are not good pitchers. And the same can be […]
On the Mount Rushmore of problems for the 2026 San Francisco Giants, Rafael Devers and Willy Adames are George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. There’s T.J. peeking over George’s shoulder as they both look towards different points in the distance. Abraham Lincoln, engraved on the far right, is perhaps the back-end of the rotation, Tyler Mahle […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the fourth day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
Well, it’s finally happened. The San Francisco Giants have backed into the perfect opportunity to recall their top hitting prospect, left-handed hitting DH/1B Bryce Eldridge, along with one of their more intriguing ones, right-handed hitting C/3B/1B/DH Jesús Rodríguez. It’s desperation season already for the Giants and we’re all about to find out if these youngsters […]
A miserable road trip is about to come to an end. The San Francisco Giants are in Florida taking on the Tampa Bay Rays for some breakfast baseball (for us watching from the west coast, that is … it’s the less appealing and less alliterative lunch baseball where the game is), and they’re hoping to […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for the next week or so, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the third day of […]
Soon after the 27th out was recorded in the 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, Giants players filed out of the dugout into the clubhouse as somber as one leaves a church pew at a funeral. Heads were mostly bowed. Hats pulled low. Eyes kept down. The coaches busied themselves with their game-prep clipboards […]
The San Francisco Giants are set to face the Tampa Bay Rays this afternoon, and the hope is that they can start to turn around a miserable road trip, though they’re fast running out of time. San Francisco has lost the first four games of the six-game swing, and that underscores how bad it’s been: […]
