Giants place Logan Webb on the Injured List, call up Trevor McDonald

The San Francisco Giants Opening Day battery for the last three seasons is as gone as gone can be. Hours after announcing the shocking trade of Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians, the Giants placed the star of their rotation, two-time All-Star Logan Webb, on the 15-Day Injured List. Webb, who has led the National […]

Patrick Bailey traded to Guardians

The San Francisco Giants have decided to part ways with their one-sided catcher Patrick Bailey.  The two-time Gold Glove winning catcher will be shipped to the Guardians for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson (who’s nickname is reportedly “Tugboat”) and the 29th overall pick in the 2026 draft.  If Wilkinson is a tugboat, then Bailey has […]

A win, but does it mean anything?

Going into Friday night, the San Francisco Giants had lost 8 of their last 9 games. They lost 8 of their last 9 games because the San Francisco Giants can’t score runs. The San Francisco Giants can’t hit for power. The San Francisco Giants can only hit singles and ground into double plays. They can’t […]

5/8 Gamethread: Giants vs. Pirates

It’s the start of a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hopefully it goes better than the last few series have gone.

Maybe Logan Webb’s best days are behind him?

Controversial headline? Sure. But maybe it’s time to have the conversation, because as Logan Webb goes, so goes the Giants. And, uh, in case you haven’t been watching closely, the 2026 San Francisco Giants are seemingly going nowhere. By some measures, Logan Webb is having the worst start to a season of his wonderful career. […]

Giants-Pirates Series Preview: How to remake a lineup

Is this a series featuring two teams headed in opposite directions or early season mirages? The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the offseason fresh off a seventh consecutive losing season. Their 434-598 record over that span was the second-worst in MLB behind only the Rockies (402-629). A team ERA of 4.58 (26th). 29th in runs scored! What […]

Padres force rubber match, Sung-Mun Song dazzles in call-up

The San Diego Padres needed a win like this one. Badly. The Friars torched the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, to force the rubber match. After a dismal showing from their offense lately, it was good to watch the Padres hit double-digits against a division rival after only scoring two in the series opener. It was […]

Offense is not offensive, but pitching sadly is

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, […]

Youngsters hit but so do Padres in 10-5 loss

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 […]

Sung-Mun Song delivers in first start, helps Padres top Giants

Sung-Mun Song made his MLB debut in Mexico City against the Arizona Diamondbacks when the San Diego Padres added him to their roster as the 27th man. Song made an appearance as a pinch runner but did not do much more than that. Song changed that in his first MLB start when he hit a […]

Loss to division rivals punctuates tough stretch for San Diego

For so many reasons, the San Diego Padres should have won. The San Francisco Giants were coming off a road trip in which they lost all six games, the Friars had one of their aces on the mound in Randy Vásquez and San Francisco had the rookie Trevor McDonald making his 2026 debut. It all […]
