Latest news and updates about the Giants
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 […]

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 […]

Every time the D-Backs have a dramatic finish to a game like Ketel Marte’s electric walk-off homer last night, I always half expect the team to show some lethargy the next day. That certainly hasn’t been the case this year to this point and that’s a real credit to the coaching staff and the veteran […]
It wasn’t enough that Ketel Marte broke the hearts of the San Francisco Giants with a walkoff three-run homer Tuesday night. He just had to go 3-for-3 with a walk and cross home plate as many times as the Giants’ entire team did in a 6-3 Arizona Diamondbacks win. Tyler Mahle fell to 1-6 after […]
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this three-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon.

His last start was in the Giants’ 5-2 […]

Diamondbacks News Ketel Marte Hits Career-First Walk-off HomerKetel Marte played the role of dramatic hero, slugging his first-ever walk-off home run, this one being his first homer of the season from the right side. That lifted the Diamondbacks over the Giants for the second night in a row. What to Make of Nelson’s Uneven StartRyne […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As someone who has been collecting music electronically for their entire adult life, I have amassed quite a vast collection of random songs over the years. Occasionally, I’ll just put my entire collection on shuffle for a few weeks to see what comes up and last night, I shuffled upon some […]
There’s an old sketch from The State called “The Barry Lutz Show” where a doctor played by Thomas Lennon explains his research in the field of “monkey torture,” accompanied by an adorable simian. He eventually takes a phone call that purportedly tells him he has to stop torturing monkeys forever and let them all go, […]
Tonight almost fell into the bucket of the very frustrating games that this team definitely should have won category. Their starting pitcher went 7 strong innings while their offense continued to squander opportunity after opportunity late into the game. However with 2 outs in the 9th, the biggest star on the team Ketel Marte finally […]
