Last year, MLB players like Christian Yelich pointed out that sports betting, a major problem in baseball, is the root cause of the abuse they faced online. A year in, nothing has changed. Former Red Sox player Jeff Frye blames Rob Manfred and MLB management for this. On June 1, he first shared Coach Yac’s […]

The Giants are calling up right-hander Wilkin Ramos, reports Ari Alexander of 7News Boston. San Francisco will need to open space on both the active and 40-man rosters for Ramos, who will be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game. Ramos, 25, was an international signing of the Athletics […]
The San Francisco Giants will be sellers at this year’s trade deadline and while they have some obvious “chips,” “chits,” or “pieces,” I figured it’d be a better conversation starter to rank them, as the perception of a player’s value will surely not be uniform across the fandom or even just those who read this […]
The St. Louis Cardinals should buy low on San Francisco Giants left-handed starting pitcher Robbie Ray. The trade package would likely cost the Cardinals a couple of top-30 prospects.
One of my main memories from the 2010 World Series season was being stuck in Las Vegas while the Giants played a 4-game series in Milwaukee. I’m not a gambler and I’m not a dirtbag and so Sin City doesn’t really do it for me and so all I had to look forward to was […]

Unfortunately you can’t spread runs around. Goal differential or aggregate scoring doesn’t decide a series in baseball. If it did, the Giants 19-6 pile on against the Colorado Rockies would’ve secured them a sweep with some runs to spare. Alas, what’s done is done. This ain’t religion: the sins of Friday and Saturday can’t be […]
After a quick three-game road trip to visit the Houston Astros, the Milwaukee Brewers are back home to host the San Francisco Giants for four games beginning Monday night. The Brewers had a strong month of May, going 19-7 with just one series loss (a 1-2 series against the Dodgers over Memorial Day weekend). At […]

“I had a root canal on Thursday and I’m not sure which was worse,” said Rockies commentator Jeff Huson about today’s baseball game between the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. The Rockies entered today’s game with a series win already wrapped up and a chance to sweep a scuffling division rival. Instead, they lost […]
Friends, you’ve been so engaged that we had to put together another overflow thread! Unfortunately, the Rockies are currently losing to the Giants 12-5 in a game that started over 2.5 hours ago after a ghastly seven-run fifth. In case you forgot, here are the lineups: Keep it civil, friends, and please remember the Purple Row […]
The San Francisco Giants are playing awful baseball, and have lost six straight. Now they’ll try to salvage a win against the Colorado Rockies in their series finale, before mercifully leaving the mountains … and taking on better teams. What could possibly go wrong? Veteran left-hander Robbie Ray takes the mound for the Giants, with […]
The San Francisco Giants took a rare step when they called up 24-year-old outfielder Jonah Cox from Double-A Richmond. Cox skipped Triple-A Sacramento and joined the major league club on May 31.The 24-year-old can play all three outfield positions, but Giants’ manager Tony Vitello “envisions Cox playing center.”Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote […]

Should the San Francisco Giants initiate a formal, but modest rebuild with just a year and a half left on Buster Posey’s deal? On Wednesday, the San Francisco Standard’s Tim Kawakami made the case that they should, based solely on the results of April and May. Around here, I’ve seen people comment about how “this […]
The San Francisco Giants are one game away from getting swept by the Colorado Rockies. They blew a 6-3, ninth-inning lead to suffer a walk-off loss in the series opener. Then, they followed it up with an 8-3 blowout defeat the next day. It marked their fifth consecutive loss after getting swept by the Arizona […]

Tony Vitello is in over his head. Vitello called out San Francisco Giants players to the media over the weekend, which won't help him keep the clubhouse.
The Giants have designated left-hander Ryan Borucki for assignment and selected the contract of outfielder Jonah Cox from Double-A Richmond, according to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser. Outfielder Will Brennan has also been optioned to Triple-A, with righty Tristan Beck recalled in his place. After being cut by the White Sox near the end […]
What’s worse? An 8-6 loss decided in the 9th, or an 8-3 loss pretty much decided in the 1st? Trick question, because they’re all the same to the Giants at this point. Some teams can look at Friday’s walk-off bummer, highlight the solid situational hitting that got them six runs, cull the bullpen performances while […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, which means it’s time for us to pick our favorite highlight of the week! As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to shout out two players this week and I gave yesterday’s honors to Rafael Devers for his grand slam […]
The only way to build a streak is one game at a time. After a five-game losing streak, the Colorado Rockies mounted a ninth-inning comeback win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night to get back in the win column. The Rockies came out swinging on Saturday to make it two. In a refreshing […]
Well, the San Francisco Giants lost in fairly ugly and embarrassing fashion to the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. And now it’s Saturday night, and they’re looking for a little bit of revenge. Let’s see if they can get it. Adrian Houser takes the mound for the second game of the series, as they look […]
Will Brennan’s most recent stint with AAA Sacramento didn’t last long. A day after the San Francisco Giants optioned the veteran outfielder to make space for the returning Jung Hoo Lee, they called him back up to replace Harrison Bader, who returns to the 10-Day Injured List for a second stint this year. The Giants […]
