Latest news and updates about the Giants
Yesterday’s loss was a real bummer, but the boys have to go again and try to salvage the series this afternoon. The combination of poor pitching, mental mistakes and a lack of situational hitting cost them. Hopefully the boys can be more buttoned up after meeting with Blake Butera about their mistakes. One player who […]
It’s series finale time! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up a nine-game road trip today, and attempting to end it on a high note. Left-hander Robbie Ray will try to lead them to a happy cross-country flight. Ray makes his fifth start of the season, and is 2-2 with a 2.42 ERA, a 4.69 […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today. Which means it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week! I have to be honest, as of the time this is being written, they have lost every game this week. And my week includes last weekend because […]
After a disappointing loss last night, the Nats are now 1-6 at home. They need to improve that mark and will have a chance to do that this afternoon. Cade Cavalli also has a chance to bounce back after one of the worst starts of his career last time out. The biggest news of this […]
After a nice win in the opener on Friday, the San Francisco Giants will try to win their series against the Washington Nationals today, and set themselves up for a sweep tomorrow. A series win sure would be nice. Haven’t had one of those in a while. Taking the mound for the Giants is right-hander […]
In case you missed it, the San Francisco Giants won their 8th baseball game of the 2026 season last night and scored 10 runs in the process just to make us all feel even better about it. It was their 20th game of the season, though, so there’s the whole matter of their 8-12 record. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is drawing to a close, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! They say there’s a song for any and every occasion, and I guess the one for today is “Slim Pickins” by Sabrina Carpenter. Because there was not a […]
The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game road series against the Washington Nationals this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 5.25 ERA, 3.20 FIP, with 21 strikeouts to nine walks in 24 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 6-2 loss […]
After a great 5-2 road trip, the Washington Nationals come back home looking to keep the good times rolling. It has been a small sample, but this team has been much better on the road so far. At home, they are just 1-5. The Nats will look to add a second home win tonight. Blake […]
Thursday was a good day for the San Francisco Giants, as they finally won a game. It wasn’t as good of a day for their Minor League Baseball affiliates, though, who we have grown accustomed to winning, winning, and winning some more this year. They did a little bit of that on Thursday, but there […]
The Nationals pulled away with one of their wildest wins in years yesterday afternoon in Pittsburgh, beating the Pirates 8-7 in 10 innings. This game had it all, from a bases-clearing ground ball to short, a hit by pitch and wild pitch giving the Nats the lead in the late innings, and a single in […]
The San Diego Padres erased the memories of the season-opening homestand where they got off to a 2-4 start against the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants with a perfect second homestand that saw them get back-to-back sweeps of the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners. The Padres have won games throughout the season […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the road again this weekend, so we’re going to do another temp check. Which is maybe not ideal timing after the week that was, but I feel like they could maybe benefit from the feedback of the fanbase at this point. This team is not […]
On Wednesday, for the first time since Friday, all four of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates were in action. And, not for the first (or second) time this year, they all won! Fun times on the farm. Let’s jump into it. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All […]

Something was just the slightest bit off with Cincinnati Reds righty Chase Burns during his most recent start. It was a warm night in Great American Ball Park against a moderately imposing Los Angeles Angels lineup back on April 10th, with nothing too out of the ordinary about the conditions. Still, the fireballin’ righty had […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Since the San Francisco Giants play ridiculously early today (by west coast standards), we’re going to go ahead and roll the Gamethread in with the BP today. The Giants wrap up their three-game road series against the Cincinnati Reds in just a couple of hours. Taking the mound for the Giants […]
The slumping San Francisco Giants retooled their outfield before Wednesday’s game, sending Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva to the injured list and recalling Drew Gilbert and Will Brennan from Sacramento. Unfortunately, they didn’t retool the way they pitch to Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart. Stewart gave the Reds a 3-0 lead with a three-run home […]
The most telling statistic in the San Francisco Giants’ 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds is the two teams’ pitch counts. Four Giants pitchers combined to throw 145 pitches in eight innings. The Reds got through nine innings against the free-swinging Giants in just 111 pitches, an average of 12.3 per inning. The Giants had […]
Today is the 79th anniversary of the day Jack Robinson made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers and broke MLB’s longstanding color barrier. To honor that feat and his legacy, all MLB players will don jerseys with #42 on them today. In Cincinnati, the Reds will play host to the San Francisco Giants. Rhett Lowder […]

Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 4.30 ERA, 4.32 FIP, with 15 strikeouts to seven walks in 14.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 5-0 win […]
The Cincinnati Reds will be trying to win the series against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night in Great American Ball Park after last night’s thrilling 2-1 win in the opener. Homers from Spencer Steer and budding superstar Sal Stewart were all the Reds needed, as Brady Singer turned in his finest performance of […]
Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagán picked up his 5th save of the 2026 season on Tuesday night, coaxing a deep fly-out off the bat of San Francisco Giants pinch hitter Daniel Susac to help wrap up a closely fought 2-1 victory. That was obviously the good news. The bad news – or potentially bad news, […]
The San Francisco Giants have had the worst outfield in the Major Leagues this year, and now it’s getting a shakeup. However, it’s not the performance that is causing that shakeup, but rather injuries. On Wednesday, ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Giants announced that starting center fielder Harrison Bader and fourth […]
Only three of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates were in action on Tuesday, as poor AAA Sacramento just can’t get in a game. The River Cats had both of their weekend games cancelled due to rain, which followed them as they traveled north from Sacramento to Tacoma, postponing their game on Tuesday. […]
