The last Giants-Dodgers Series Preview ever?
Technically, the Giants could still win the season series with a sweep in Oracle Park this weekend — hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. No, seriously. It’s Wille Mac Award weekend. Saying goodbye to Mike Krukow weekend. Fan Appreciation weekend. There’s a spirit that could push these 12th stringers to take down hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. No. The Dodgers will at least win […]
Friday BP: Oracle Park promotions this weekend
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants begin their final series of the year tonight. Which means it’s time to take a look at what Oracle Park has on deck for fans planning to attend a game. Throughout the weekend, there will be various giveaways and discounts given out to fans in lucky sections. […]
Jonah Cox: 🤩or 😬?
I have a terrible track record when it comes to singling out players. Recently, I’ve glorified Tyler Fitzgerald, Logan Webb, and Willy Adames, and turned into pumpkins soon after my exaltations. Alternatively, my naysaying spotlight pointed at Rafael Devers received a double middle finger from him by his explosive season with the bat. So, I […]
Giants claim Camilo Doval LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
The San Francisco Giants won their trade with the New York Yankees from last year’s deadline when they sent Camilo Doval to the Bronx in exchange for Jesus Rodriguez, Parks Harber, Trystan Vrieling, and Carlos De La Rosa. Well done, Agent Doval. And welcome home. The Giants have used 70 players this season. The current […]
Would a healthy Giants lineup fair well in the postseason?
The San Francisco Giants’ wRC+, if you take out March/April, the first 14 days of May, and all of August, was #2 in baseball (112) behind only the Washington Nationals and tied with the Dodgers, Brewers, and Cubs. Sure, they were just 10th in runs, but when the weighted stats are on your side, you’ve […]
Thursday BP: Good job, Firebells!
Good morning, baseball fans! It is with a heavy heart that I have to share that the menaces of Los Angeles baseball are at it again. Despite the San Francisco Firebells running the league for the inaugural season of the Women’s Professional Baseball League and entering the playoffs in first place, they fell just short […]
A game that came and went
Baseball, on a Wednesday afternoon, played between two teams no one cares about anymore. Some young players were out there with something to prove, most were going through the motions. The fans stood up and sat down. The seagulls pulled apart nachos. First pitch was thrown. The final out recorded. A game came and went, […]
9/23 Gamethread: Giants vs. Twins
The San Francisco Giants wrap up their penultimate series of the year against the Minnesota Twins this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander César Perdomo, who enters today’s game with a 3.72 ERA, 4.96 FIP, with 12 strikeouts to seven walks in 19.1 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
Wednesday BP: So, your team is cursed…
Good morning, baseball fans! There are any number of reasons why the San Francisco Giants have had a really terrible, awful, no-good, cruddy 2026 season. And sure, we could go through the likely reasons for that. But that kind of feels like an off-season thing. And we still have a handful of games to endure. […]
Giants run their way into a 3-2 loss
Victor Bericoto was awaiting a 3-2 pitch with two runners on in the 9th inning, down by a run, when a man seated behind the plate with a physique reminiscent of Rod “Shooter” Beck decided that this was the time to go “Tarps Off.” As viewers at home flinched at the sudden flash of unexpected […]
9/22 Gamethread: Giants vs. Twins
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Anthony Molina, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.91 ERA, 2.88 FIP, with 23 strikeouts to five walks in 23 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 6-5 win over […]
Giants place Blade Tidwell on the IL with a UCL sprain, call up Braxton Roxby
The San Francisco Giants run of brutal pitcher injuries has, unfortunately, continued. During Monday’s win over the Minnesota Twins, starter Blade Tidwell left the game with elbow soreness. That usually means one very bad thing and, unfortunately, Tuesday’s news does nothing to dispute that. Prior to the second game of the series, the Giants placed […]
Tuesday BP: LET’S GO FIREBELLS!
Good morning, baseball fans! The Women’s Professional Baseball League Championship series has been one for the ages, as the league-leading San Francisco Firebells went down to a 2-0 deficit against the Los Angeles Queens to start the series before coming back and forcing a deciding Game 5! That game takes place this afternoon at 4:00 […]
Drew Gilbert’s big night lifts Giants to 5-2 win
In a thoroughly depressing 2026 season for the San Francisco Giants, there was some hope about the future of the outfield Monday night. Drew Gilbert went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs. Bo Davidson got a hit and stole a base in his big-league debut. And Jonah Cox continues to show he’s a plus defender at both […]
9/21 Gamethread: Giants vs. Twins
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Minnesota Twins to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Blade Tidwell, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.56 ERA, 4.75 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 21 walks in 53.1 innings pitched. His last start was in Tuesday’s 10-3 […]
Giants call up Bo Davidson, activate Marcelo Mayer
There are only six games left in a truly miserable San Francisco Giants season, but there’s finally some good news: those six games just got a lot more interesting. On Monday afternoon, before kicking off their penultimate series of the season, the Giants announced that two thrilling youngsters are headed to the team: infielder Marcelo […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, September 18-20: Goodbye, Minors
Well friends, there it is. The San Francisco Giants entered the weekend with just one of their seven Minor League Baseball affiliates in action. And now that number is zero. And so begins the final Minor League roundup of the season, as there are no more games until the sun disappears and returns again … […]
Giants-Twins Series Preview: The final week (thank goodness)
The Twins’ owner called season ticketholders in the offseason basically begging for them to stick around. Their fans had become so disillusioned with their team losing that the negativity had started to get to Tom Pohlad. And early in the season, he had a public incident with a fan wearing a SELL THE TEAM hat. […]
Monday BP: What’s on deck this week?
Good morning, baseball fans! We have reached the final week of San Francisco Giants baseball for the year. So let’s take a last look at what’s on deck for this week. First up, the Giants welcome the Minnesota Twins to Oracle Park tonight for a three-game series. After that, they’ll have Thursday off and then […]
Tugboat shines — just not the brightest
Believe it or not, the Giants led for the majority of Sunday’s finale against the Dodgers. In this feebled state, dragging our way to the finish line, that feels like a kind-a, sort-a win. Granted, it was 1-0 lead, which is not a lead that typically soothes or ensures. In LA, against that Dodger line-up, […]
9/20 Gamethread: Giants @ Dodgers
Today, the San Francisco Giants will attempt to not get swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers. In all likelihood, I’ll be able to say that exact same sentence this time next week, too. Taking the mound for the Giants is lefty Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson, the burly 23-year old southpaw the Giants got in the Patrick […]
Left in the dust
It’s official. In the historic rivalry between the Giants and the Dodgers (or Bridegrooms, or Superbas, or Dodgers, or Robins, or back to the Dodgers again), spanning a continent, two cities, nearly 140 years, the Dodgers are back ahead: 1,293 wins to the Giants’ 1,292. After building a sizable lead during the New York era, […]
Sunday BP: Highlight of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, so it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week! Mine happened to take place a little over a week ago, but since I pre-write these I made the executive decision that my week includes the previous Friday. […]
9/19 Gamethread: Giants @ Dodgers
After failing on Friday, the San Francisco Giants will try once again to Beat LA, as they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for the sandwich filling of a three-game series. Rookie Yunior Marté takes the mound for the Giants, as the 23-year old right-hander makes the fourth appearance and second start of his debut MLB […]
A ballgame, then a blow-out
It’s that time of year when the air cools, the light sharpens, and Max Muncy’s goggled goblin face starts to flood our feeds and stretch across our screens. The birds turn south in September, and Tyler Glasnow pitches his 60th inning of the year, feeling out his release point, just in time for the postseason. […]
