Latest news and updates about the Giants
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks to Oracle Park this afternoon to begin a three-game series. Just like we did last week, only this time at home! As of the time this is being pre-written (due to the holiday), neither team has announced pitchers for this game. So make sure you head down […]
MLB vs FIFA. To write a preview when you have not even one day between the previous series and the upcoming one, on a weekday, definitely adds to the time pressure. Luckily for me, the opponent for the next series is the San Francisco Giants. We saw them just a couple of days ago. That, […]
It’s series finale time! Hopefully this game between the San Francisco Giants and Chicago White Sox goes well, and hopefully the series has been going well. I’m on PTO and writing this article while the Giants are playing the Dodgers, so I know nothing. Hello, future Giants fans. I hope it’s nice over there. Game […]
Good morning, and Happy Memorial Day baseball fans! We’re going to be doing a combined BP for today and tomorrow, due to the holiday. And it is a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, which means that it’s time to take a look at the week ahead and see what’s on deck. This week […]
Wait, didn’t I just do one of these? No, seriously. Literally a week ago I was in this space talking about how the Giants were going to see how they measured up against a non-Dodger, non-Padre NL West opponent and a team that had all the scrappiness they’ve craved. So… has anything changed since then? […]
For the second time in their home series against the Chicago White Sox, a four-run four-bagger secured a win for the San Francisco Giants. Yesterday, Harrison Bader clapped one over the centerfield wall, and today, Rafael Devers supplied the echo, back-spinning to left to put the Giants ahead for good in a 8-5 victory. The […]
The mighty Casey may be fated to strike out sooner or later. Still, today was not that day, as Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt and first baseman Rafael Devers ran wild on Sox pitching this afternoon, driving in all eight San Francisco runs in the White Sox 8-5 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. […]
A bullpen implosion for the South Siders Saturday led to the Giants tying the series at one, so the Good Guys will aim to bounce back today with a win to head home with a .500 record for their trip to the west coast (3-3). Lefthander Noah Schultz will be making his eighth start of […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end today, so it’s time to share our favorite highlights of the week! This week, I’ve got to give it to Rafael Devers and Willy Adames hitting back-to-back home runs on back-to-back pitches to lead off the second inning of Tuesday’s […]
Apparently, if the sun is out, all you have to do to beat the White Sox is hit pop-ups. Or hope they bring in Jordan Leasure. The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the fourth thanks to Jarred Kelenic misplaying a Luis Arraez fly ball into a triple, which a sac fly and four singles […]
It’s time for the second game between the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago White Sox. I’m writing this way in advance, as I am on PTO, so I have no idea if the Giants won the first game of the series, or who will be pitching for either team, or if the Giants even […]
It’s a trifle unlikely that a strategy of nine-up-nine-down-nine-run-inning-five-more-innings-without-a-hit will work two games in a row, so the White Sox may want to try a different form of attack today. That approach will start against Adrian Houser, who was Chicago’s best pitcher last year — 6-2, 2.10 ERA — before being traded to the Tampa […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is drawing to a close this weekend, which means it’s time to make our picks for Player of the Week! This week, I’m going with Casey Schmitt! The man is on a streak that we love to see. As of the time this is […]
San Francisco’s Trevor McDonald was perfect through the first three innings against the White Sox tonight. Trying to get through the lineup a second time proved to be impossible for the righty, as Chicago hung nine runs on the Giants and cruised to a 9-4 win. It started with back-to-back hit batsmen to put Sam […]
After back-to-back to back road trips to the West Coast, this series represents, in late May, the White Sox final games in the Pacific Time Zone. Tony Vitello and the San Francisco Giants look to give the South Siders their first series loss since April 26, while Munetaka Murakami and friends will look to not […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Chicago White Sox to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.37 ERA, 3.47 FIP, with 17 strikeouts to three walks in 19 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
The annual draft is the easiest way for a baseball team to add talent cheaply. To keep things cheap, Major League Baseball has limited the amount of money teams can spend on signing bonuses, with penalties in place for anyone who goes over their limits. The San Francisco Giants are in a unique position this […]
The White Sox spent a little bit in the offseason and acquired a fun player from Japan who has slugged the franchise back into relevance. As fun as it has been to see that the literal Pope of the Roman Catholic church is a White Sox fan, Munetaka Murakami’s fast rise in 2026 has dragged […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants return to the bay this weekend for a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. So let’s take a look at what Oracle Park has on deck for fans who might be thinking about attending. Friday night will be a Special Event for Japanese Heritage Night! Fans […]
Podrían ser el equipo mejor posicionado en una década para lograrlo. The post Los Gigantes deberían dinamitar el draft 2026 appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
The first headline I saw when I searched up our recently cast-off backstop was for an AP article published by the Watertown Daily News: “Baily, Cantillo lead Guardians to four-game series sweep…” While I harbor no real ill-will towards Patrick Bailey, I admit I wasn’t pleased about the news. Petty tribalism inherent in fandom runs […]
Hello, Mr. Future Hall of Famer, sir, Mr. Buster Posey Man. I am but a lowly sports blogger doing that thing that bad baseball columnists do and writing you an open letter. Here’s why. It’s unfathomable that there’s just 17 months or so remaining on your deal to be the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations. […]
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s an off day for the San Francisco Giants today, so I wanted to touch on a topic that I’ve been thinking about for a while. At this point, I can only assume that most people familiar with baseball are also at least somewhat familiar with the Savannah Bananas, and the […]
