Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. Yesterday, we re-visited Game 5 of the 2010 World Series, and we did the same for Game […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants announced that they had signed RHP Adrian Houser to a two-year, $22 million deal. Bryan covered it more in-depth yesterday, which you can check out here. But I wanted to check in and see what the community thinks about this signing. Personally, I didn’t […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote about how the San Francisco Giants’ new manager Tony Vitello is preparing for his new role. Vitello, as we know, has no MLB experience as either a player or a coach (though he has coached several MLB players). So he […]

The San Francisco Giants didn’t wait for us to catch our breaths from the signing of quasi-closer Jason Foley as just moments ago Jeff Passan broke that they’ve also signed starting pitcher Adrian Houser to a 2-year, $22 million deal with an option for a third year. Does this move effectively end the team’s exploration […]

The San Francisco Giants have announced the signing of RHP Jason Foley to a 1-year major league deal. He missed all of 2025 recovering from right shoulder capsule surgery and will miss probably half of the 2026 season, too. Previously, the four-year veteran was the Detroit Tigers’ closer, registering 28 saves in 2024. He’s thrown […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, it was announced that ESPN’s Joe Buck had received the Hall of Fame’s Ford C. Frick Award, to the consternation of San Francisco Giants fans for multiple reasons. The most unreasonable being that some Giants fans just kind of hate Joe Buck. A lot of it seems to […]

This evening, Katie Woo of The Athletic published an article with the headline “Mariners, Giants emerge as front-runners for Brendan Donovan trade: Sources.” Woo was the site’s Cardinals beat writer until this offseason, when she left that beat to cover the Dodgers, but she obviously still has her sources in St. Louis. That could mean […]

To understand the intensity of the Brett Pill Wars, you had to have been online during 2011 through 2013. Giants fans separated into Pro-Pill and Pro-Belt factions, which was ironic because the true enemy was Aubrey Huff. Brandon Belt was a young hotshot left-handed prospect with a great on-base percentage and huge potential who often […]

Today, we’re going to keep that fun going with a video from the Giants’ social media team with every cooler shower celebration. Because half of the fun of a walk-off win is watching the hero/culprit get […]

The San Francisco Giants have had a frugal offseason to this point, with plenty of reports and rumors that frugality will be a central theme over the next few days, weeks, and months. And now we have perhaps the most painful example of it yet, as the team did not sign the one player that […]

I did this exercise last offseason and wound up being off the mark but in the general vicinity. The specifics are where I really stumbled, but the Giants did wind up doing (broadly) what I’d hoped they’d do. My plan: Their actions: I wanted the team to show that they were serious about playing at […]
