According to Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle, the Phillies had a scout present for Monday night’s Kansas City […]
It’s been somewhat less than a great season for the San Francisco Giants, who seem determined to alienate their supporters of all stripes. The players created a Pride Night controversy and pissed off local fans. Prospect watchers don’t love how the team has actively blocked some of the best young hitters. Old-school traditionalists hate how […]
Monday evening, Royals fans rose to their feet in anticipation of Alex Lange recording the final out to seal a win over the Giants. Instead, Wily Adames deposited a sinker over the right field fence for a two-run home run to tie the game. The Royals rallied to win in the bottom of the inning, […]

This 79-year-old SF Giants fan named her dog 'McCovey' and dedicates a wall in her house to the team. She's now 'ashamed' of them.
Good morning, baseball fans! As last week ended, I didn’t have many fond thoughts to share about the San Francisco Giants. Mostly because they hadn’t played any games last week. And also morale is just kind of low at the moment overall. But Willie Adames gave Giants fans a reason to cheer in Friday night’s […]
Down to their last out, the San Francisco Giants rallied to tie the game on a two-run, 380-foot home run from Willy Adames. Then the Kansas City Royals walked them off with two bunts that traveled about 38 feet each. The Royals sent the Giants to their third straight loss after Nick Loftin bunted home […]
On the 57th anniversary of the moon landing, the Royals and Giants celebrated by playing a baseball game on the surface of the sun that the Royals won 4-3 on a walkoff squeeze bunt. It was 97 F at first pitch. Thankfully, the Royals gracefully managed to avoid all the extra innings while burning on […]
Just like in the Majors, Minor League Baseball had the All-Star break last week. But they got back in action on Friday and my word is there a lot to talk about. So let’s talk about it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the […]

The Royals have a slightly better group […]
Infielder Luis Arraez is a logical trade candidate but recently expressed an openness to staying in San Francisco with an extension instead. There hasn’t been any indication the Giants are looking to extend Arraez and Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News reports that there have been no formal extension talks between Arraez and the […]
The Giants have a payroll of nearly $200 million, yet all it has gotten them is the fifth-worst record in baseball. They will look to move some of their bigger contracts at the trade deadline if they can find any takers. They had a terrible May, dropping 18 of 28, but have played near .500 […]
We’ve talked about the San Francisco Giants being one of the worst teams in baseball all year. However, we haven’t fully broken down what has led to that outcome. In the early goings, a lot of blame fell on the offense. A handful of the biggest names on the roster got off to extremely slow […] The post The Giants Are Wasting a Good Offense appeared first on Just Baseball .
It wasn’t supposed to be like this for either of these teams. Two years ago, the Royals stormed out of the cave of irrelevance and into the Wild Card, winning that first series before losing to the Yankees in the division series. They followed that up with an 82-80 season of no playoffs and this […]

Once players are drafted, they […]

The Mariners have played 100 games. 50 of those games have been wins. 50 of those games have been losses. Eight of the wins came in a heady run in late May to early June that made it feel like the team had turned a corner and was poised to claim a commanding lead in […]
