Latest news and updates about the Giants
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end today, which would normally mean that it’s time to share our favorite highlights of the week.

Three SF giants pitchers disgraced themselves at the team's Pride Night, weaponizing the Pride rainbow and attacking the LGBTQ community.
In their return to the baseball field after mounting a historic comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday, the San Francisco Giants — you guessed it! — were nearly shut-out by the Chicago Cubs. You know how when you come back from the store and you want to speed-up the cool-down process on some room-temperature beverages […]
We’ve reached the point where these Cubs now feel like someone you dated some time ago. You see a couple of good things, but your brain just keeps reminding you of all of the painful moments from the past. Even against two teams that have already played themselves firmly into wait til next year territory, […]
SAN FRANCISCO — Raise your hand if you knew that by mid-June, Javier Assad and Ben Brown would be the saviors of the Cubs starting rotation. I better not see any hands because you did not know. I did not know. No one knew. Assad had his second straight outstanding outing — both against the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is coming to an end this weekend, so it’s time to make our picks for Player of the Week! I am really enjoying this thing that the Giants are doing lately where it’s actually difficult to make my picks for these because there are […]
It took less than one pitch for the San Francisco Giants to ruin their Friday night game. The stands had yet to fill in. The clock had yet to strike 7:10. The umpire had yet to say “play ball.” And yet the Giants, in a season full of embarrassment, had already delivered their most disgraceful […]
The Giants have named Caleb Kilian their closer, manager Tony Vitello told reporters before tonight’s game against the Cubs (link via Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area). They had used a committee approach but is moving to stricter roles in what has become a problematic bullpen. San Francisco inexplicably made almost no moves of […]
Go get ‘em, Javier.

SAN FRANCISCO — Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Giants lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Landen Roupp, RHP Javier Assad was magnificent against the Giants last Sunday — 6.1 innings of one-hit relief.

That loss to the Giants was absolutely brutal, but the great thing about baseball is that there are 162 of these games. The Nats will get a chance to bounce back as they kick off their home stand with a matchup against the Mariners. This team has been resilient all year, but this is a […]
Despite the bullpen meltdown the other day, the Nationals are not making any changes to the active roster. Mitchell Parker and Paxton Schultz are staying around despite their roles in blowing a 9-1 lead. Teams were 1-3,090 when trailing by 8+ runs after 7 innings, but the Giants got that second win. Honestly the lack […]
SAN FRANCISCO — Last weekend, the Cubs lost two of three to the Giants at Wrigley Field, scoring only seven runs in the three games against a pitching staff that’s in the top third of most runs allowed in MLB this year. Since then, the Cubs also lost two of three to the Rockies, winning […]

In a move that will surely infuriate KNBR callers, the San Francisco Giants are bringing back Ryan Walker. Prior to Friday’s series opener against the Chicago Cubs, the Giants announced that the right-handed reliever has been recalled from AAA Sacramento, while fellow right-handed pitcher Carson Seymour was optioned. By now you’re all familiar with Walker’s […]
I’ve spent a lot of time this season comparing the 2026 Giants’ record to the records of bad teams throughout franchise history, but as it becomes clearer and clearer that this team, though fun, is tacking to the 2017 team’s record or thereabouts, I don’t see the point in continuing to belabor the point. So, […]
The Cubs have lost 2 out of 3 in their last 4 series, including last weekend in Chicago against the San Francisco Giants. By the way, the extra innings game on Sunday Night Baseball wound up being the fourth-largest primetime audience of the MLB season. The Giants didn’t look like one of the worst teams […]
