Giants lose game, series in the sun
Ah, the sun! Giver of life, provider of solar energy, burner of skin, mascot of Arizona professional basketball, source of both photosynthesis and melanomas. The sun giveth, and Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco, the sun tooketh away a victory for the home team. Victor Bericoto delivered the San Francisco Giants’ first run with an RBI […]
Giants fan survey: Who plays second next year?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Giants fans and fans across the country.

Wednesday BP: Reminisce with the Wall of Fame inductees
Good morning, baseball fans! Over the weekend, the San Francisco Giants celebrated five influential players from their 2010s World Series Championship runs with a Wall of Fame Ceremony. The team has not yet released the full video of the event, but our friends over at NBC Sports Bay Area interviewed the inductees: Brandon Belt, Brandon […]
Carsons dominate late-night Giants win
The answer is: Power hitting, sloppy opposing defense, and iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms. The questions is, what are three things likely to produce runs Tuesday night? The San Francisco Giants got four runs Tuesday night, which was enough to defeat the Houston Astros, 4-1, after 7 2/3 innings from a pair of magnificent Carsons. […]

Giants sign Andrew Knizner, activate Victor Bericoto
The San Francisco Giants made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday, ahead of their evening home game against the Houston Astros. As expected, the team found a veteran catcher to back up Drew Cavanaugh, and it’s a familiar face: Andrew Knizner. Knizner had been playing for the Boston Red Sox AAA affiliate until last […]
Tuesday BP: Watch a Puerto Rican team dinner with the Giants
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants’ social media team released a video little while back that I didn’t get a chance to share until now. I would like to extend my apologies in advance to Brady and every other Heliot Ramos fan in the audience. I’m not trying to poke at those wounds, […]

Pitching duel won by Webb, game lost by offense
For the third consecutive series, the Giants have won the opener and lost the last two. While quality pitching, along with some shoddy defense, couldn’t sustain itself over the entire game on Saturday, blame for Sunday’s extra inning 3-1 loss rests solely on the shoulders of San Francisco’s hitters. After Willy Adames’s 5th inning solo […]

Pitching duel devolves into a blowout
The infield of the 2014 World Series Champions haven’t thrown the ball around the horn in years, but the shadow they cast is a long one. Pablo spread-eagled in foul territory after squeezing Game 7’s final out. Posey wrapping Bumgarner up in his arms. The 4-6-3 double play, the Panik dive and glove flip, the […]

Perfect in their imperfections
The Detroit Tigers outhit the Giants 11 to 5 on Friday night. They outwalked them too, 4 to 3, and earned 12 at-bats with a runner in scoring position while San Francisco had just 4. The visitors had hot bats in Kevin McGonigle, who reached base four times, and Spencer Torkelson, who reached thrice; and […]
Saturday BP: Player of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end this weekend, so it’s time to decide who we think was the Player of the Week! And listen, I know that I’m biased here. I’ve said as much in the past. I don’t intentionally choose Jung Hoo Lee just because […]
8/7 Gamethread: Giants vs. Tigers
The San Francisco Giants head back home to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers.

Anyway, you can head down […]
Giants call up Trent Harris for MLB debut
It’s the time in the season where bad teams, such as the San Francisco Giants, shift their focus from winning games to trying out new talents, and seeing who can stick. We’ve already seen a pair of MLB debuts in the last week, and now we’re getting a third. On Friday, ahead of their series […]

Buster Posey’s deadline moves play into Tony Vitello’s strengths
Nationally, during this disaster of a season, there has been some speculation that the San Francisco Giants could pull the plug on their unique gamble of hiring the green Tony Vitello as their manager after just one season. In total, that mindset seemed shortsighted and a knee-jerk reaction. Yet, after this week’ massive roster overhaul […]
