Latest news and updates about the Giants
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 […]
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo isn't having any trouble jumping around on his surgically repaired ankle.
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week and month of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s take a look ahead at what’s on deck. The Giants continue their road trip, this time headed to the Midwest. First up will be a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, followed by a three-game series against the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s been a bleak stretch of baseball at 20th and Blake, but they could stop the bleeding tonight at Coors Field. The post Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants: Game preview, picks and props for Saturday appeared first on Mile High Sports .
The San Francisco Giants are in town this weekend, and that means Luis Arráez is, too. Arráez was one of the more divisive names connected to the Colorado Rockies this winter. Plenty of fans wanted him. Plenty of others argued against it. He did not bring much power, the defensive fit was questionable, and the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is drawing to a close, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! Sometimes you have to make decisions in life that aren’t necessarily easy. This week, I wanted to feature two players who had huge moments for the Giants this […]
A drunken lifeguard. A laptop with no disk space. A millenial regularly buying and consuming avocado toast. The San Francisco Giants bullpen. What do they have in common? They’re not good at saving. That was the case Friday night at Coors Field, where the Colorado Rockies hit two home runs and scored five runs off […]
The Rockies came home trying to end a losing streak against a reeling division opponent. They did it by turning a frustrating offensive night into their first walk-off win of the season. Colorado beat San Francisco 8-6 on Friday at Coors Field, improving to 21-37 while dropping the Giants to 22-35. The Rockies trailed 4-1 […]
The San Francisco Giants head to Coors Field tonight to begin a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.06 ERA, 3.52 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 15 walks in 48 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
As expected, the San Francisco Giants made a handful of moves on Friday, as they return from the off day to kick off a 10-game road strip, which starts a stretch of 13 games in as many days. We’d known for a few days that All-Star pitcher Logan Webb would be returning on Friday as […]
