Latest news and updates about the Giants
It wasn’t Andrew Painter’s best start. It just wasn’t. In the four-inning, 90-pitch outing for the rookie right-hander, there was bad command, which led to hitters’ counts and good swings from the Giants offense. That San Francisco offense might not have capitalized in the first. After back-to-back singles from Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman, he […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants is righty Adrian Houser, who makes his second start with the organization. His first start was solid, as he gave up three runs to the San Diego Padres in 5.1 innings, but […]
The Phils open up a three-game series in San Francisco with Andrew Painter on the mound for his second career start. Here are the lineups, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Giants:
Fair warning: this is going to be a very long roundup. It was the first weekend of Minor League Baseball, and for the first time in many, many months, the San Francisco Giants had four affiliates in action. There’s a lot to get to. So let’s get to it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles […]
It seems like it’s been three consecutive years now where the Phillies’ season has ended in disappointment and the prevailing feeling in the moment is that the team needs to shake up some of its roster to be successful going forward. The team has sort of stubbornly refused to do that year in and year […]
The Phillies’ western swing started out well with the team scoring seven runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Rockies. Unfortunately, the offense largely dried up throughout the remainder of the series The Phillies will try to get their bats going again when they travel to San Francisco for a three-game series […]
It’s only 10 games, people! That’s just 6.2% of the season! The San Francisco Giants’ 3-7 start, then, shouldn’t be cause for a complete fandom meltdown. Seriously! Okay… honestly. Okay… maybe. Look, it’s not great. It’s reflective of all the downside risks that were apparent when the team was cobbled together in the offseason. But […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for this week! First up, the Giants welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to town for a three-game series starting tonight. After that, they will head east to start a road trip with a three-game […]
The Yankees are off to a sterling 7-1 start to the 2026 season and have already guaranteed themselves a third consecutive series victory. After sweeping the Giants and taking two out of three from the Mariners in Seattle, they’ve won the first two games of their first homestand of the campaign, beating the Marlins on […]
The San Francisco Giants started their four-game series against the New York Mets in exciting fashion. Then it turned downhill very, very quickly, with two ugly losses. Now, on Easter Sunday, the Giants will look to get back in the win column, and earn a series split. Taking the mound for San Francisco is their […]

This past Wednesday, Brady posted the latest SB Nation Reacts poll question of which of their non-Dodgers NL West Division rivals are the bigger threat this season, and now we have that result. What are the motivations for this poll response? It’s an important question. Do they see the Diamondbacks as a likely second place […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s another Sunday of San Francisco Giants baseball, which means it’s time to hear your favorite highlights of the week! I’ve given Willy Adames a ton of love this week, so I think I’m going to go with Jung Hoo Lee’s 2-RBI double from Tuesday’s 9-3 win over the San Diego […]
The Mets have been a little uneven to start the 2026 campaign, putting it on Paul Skenes on Opening Day but struggling to hit in the subsequent games; before last night’s ten-run breakout that is. The Mets kept the momentum going tonight, winning 9-0 over the Giants, with a funky lineup that lacked Juan Soto, […]
Did you think Friday was tough? Well, let me introduce you to Saturday — it was so much worse! Bad defense, no offense, frustrated pitching. Sound familiar? Believe it or not, there was a point at the beginning of the Giants’ 9-0 loss to the Mets when things were actually going pretty swell. Landen Roupp […]
After a very good series opener on Thursday, and a very bad follow-up on Friday, the San Francisco Giants will look to take the lead in their four-game set with the New York Mets this evening. Taking the mound for the Giants is right-hander Landen Roupp, who will look to reprise his phenomenal season debut […]

Translation: Very bad, Trevor Mahle. Not good. Real dice-y right from the jump. First inning — uh oh. Mahle has two cards tucked up his sleeve — a split-finger and four-seam fastball — and in his second start as a Giant, he couldn’t figure out a way to effectively sneak them out of his hand. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We’ve officially had our first full week of San Francisco Giants baseball this season, so it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! I think it will come as no surprise that my pick for this week is none other than Willy Adames! Sure, the majority of his numbers for […]
Meet the Mets After losing three straight games due to some fairly inept offensive performances, the Mets finally broke through with ten runs against the Giants last night, with Marcus Semien hitting his first homer for his new team and Francisco Alvarez adding a pair of his own. Nolan McLean, meanwhile, did not allow a […]
There was a lot to like about tonight’s relatively smooth and easy 10-3 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The Mets’ offense, which had been floundering, finally had a big day. Marcus Semien hit his first home run as a Met and Francisco Alvarez went deep twice. Semien and Bo Bichette […]
After hitting a single in the top of the first inning and then running from first to third, Juan Soto was removed from the Mets’ game in San Francisco before the team took the field in the bottom of the inning. SNY showed the replay of Soto running the bases, and the 27-year-old outfielder grimaced […]
The San Francisco Giants continue their four-game series against the New York Mets tonight at Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who finished the 2025 season with a 2.18 ERA, 3.37 FIP, with 66 strikeouts to 29 walks in 86.2 innings pitched. His first start this season was […]

Well, I lied to you. I hope you’ll forgive me. In yesterday’s roundup, I said that Thursday would finally bring the return of multiple-game days days for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates. Turns out I was wrong, as AAA Sacramento had their game rained out and postponed. Actually, it apparently stopped raining, […]
