The San Francisco Giants are playing awful baseball, and have lost six straight. Now they’ll try to salvage a win against the Colorado Rockies in their series finale, before mercifully leaving the mountains … and taking on better teams. What could possibly go wrong? Veteran left-hander Robbie Ray takes the mound for the Giants, with […]
Should the San Francisco Giants initiate a formal, but modest rebuild with just a year and a half left on Buster Posey’s deal? On Wednesday, the San Francisco Standard’s Tim Kawakami made the case that they should, based solely on the results of April and May. Around here, I’ve seen people comment about how “this […]
The New York Yankees caught a lucky break from the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system on Saturday night, but it was all for naught as the Athletics prevailed 6-4 and ended their four-game losing streak.

San Jose Sharks superstar Macklin Celebrini is already one of the more impressive players in the NHL. But here is how his skating sets him apart from the great players, to the echelon of phenomenal players.
Tony Vitello is in over his head. Vitello called out San Francisco Giants players to the media over the weekend, which won't help him keep the clubhouse.
The Giants have designated left-hander Ryan Borucki for assignment and selected the contract of outfielder Jonah Cox from Double-A Richmond, according to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser. Outfielder Will Brennan has also been optioned to Triple-A, with righty Tristan Beck recalled in his place. After being cut by the White Sox near the end […]
The San Francisco 49ers are currently gearing up for the 2026 NFL season, which is slated to get underway in September. Many expect that the 49ers will trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk this offseason, after he missed the entire 2025 campaign as he was recovering from a severe knee injury the previous year.

The market for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk might be nonexistent right now as teams around the NFL wait out the clock.
What’s worse? An 8-6 loss decided in the 9th, or an 8-3 loss pretty much decided in the 1st? Trick question, because they’re all the same to the Giants at this point. Some teams can look at Friday’s walk-off bummer, highlight the solid situational hitting that got them six runs, cull the bullpen performances while […]
It’s that time of year again, when we look at what 49ers players might not be getting the full credit they are due. Now there are always the most underrated players and then the most underappreciated players—and there’s a difference.

A month ago at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees won the first game of their three-game set against the A’s before dropping the next two in a row for a disappointing series loss.

After injury, free-agent exit, Dre Greenlaw has healthy appreciation for 49ers in return (paywall) “Greenlaw said it wasn’t until midway through the 2025 season that he “adjusted to the normal” post-Achilles surgery: “I kind of felt like I could go and practice and I could warm up and I could do everything, and I ain’t got […]
The only way to build a streak is one game at a time. After a five-game losing streak, the Colorado Rockies mounted a ninth-inning comeback win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night to get back in the win column. The Rockies came out swinging on Saturday to make it two. In a refreshing […]
Winners of five straight, the New York Yankees sit one game behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL East lead. A sixth straight win would, at least for the moment, put them in first place.
