Friday BP: Giants claim Brett Harris off of waivers
The San Francisco Giants spent much of the year acting as though the waiver wire did not exist. But they’re now ending the season by trying to make up for lost time. On Thursday, the team announced that it had claimed infielder Brett Harris off of waivers. Harris had been designated for assignment by the […]
Blade not sharp enough as Giants lose series
28 years ago, American fell in love with a half-human, half-vampire leather-clad vigilante pledged to fight the undead. And Janzen Tidwell’s fell in love with the middle name “Blade.” Wesley Snipes’ character is a Daywalker, meaning that unlike the vampires he hunts, Blade doesn’t suffer the debilitating effects of sunlight that vampires face. It gives […]

Giants play solid and sound baseball, beat Pirates
Let’s play a game of Mad Libs. Here, you give me an adjective. Any adjective. Got one? Okay, great. Here was the sentence we can plug it into: The San Francisco Giants have been [adjective] this season. If you said “bad,” or “pathetic,” or “dysfunctional,” or “worms for brains-esque,” then I regret to inform you […]

Giants fan surveys: Will Barry Bonds ever make the Hall of Fame?
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: What do you think the Giants’ 2027 slogan should be?
Good morning, baseball fans! Last week, our fearless leader Brady and I had an entertaining conversation that stemmed from the San Francisco Giants partnering with Kalshi. I thought I’d share a bit of that because it leads into our prompt for today. It started with Brady ironically using the Giants’ slogan: “It doesn’t get more […]
Aces are wild in 13-12 Giants loss
One thing about aces is that while they’re usually the best card, in some rare games, they’re the lowest. That’s what happened Tuesday in Pittsburgh, when reigning Cy Young winner Paul Skenes faced off against three-time All-Star and one-time pitching WAR second-place finisher Logan Webb. By the bottom of the third inning, Skenes had given […]

Giant-Pirates Preview: Hey, Logan Webb vs. Paul Skenes. That’s cool, right?
Paul Skenes was in the running for best pitcher on the planet after his 1.97 ERA in 187.2 IP last season which netted him the NL Cy Young Award. But here in his age-24 season, his 3.79 ERA on the season has raised questions about just how great he is and will continue to be. […]

Giants rain on Braves’ parade in makeup game
On paper, it looked like a big advantage that the Atlanta Braves got to play the makeup game for a June 18 rainout at the end of August. The San Francisco Giants would have to wait 10 weeks, fly across the country ahead of a six-game road trip, and trade away six veterans in the […]

Giants Sunday mailbag
A few weeks ago, I put out a call for San Francisco Giants mailbag questions. Then both life and the Giants got hectic and, well … it’s been a few weeks, hasn’t it? But the Giants have the ultra-rare Sunday off-day today, offering us one of the scariest things in all of sports: a Sunday […]
How might a lockout hurt the 2027 Giants?
The latest SB Nation Reacts polling had to do with a broader thought with meaningful implications for the San Francisco Giants. Earlier in the week, Major League Baseball put out a new set of proposals (free to read) that were mainly designed with a salary cap in mind. Michael Baumann went over the pros and […]
Yunior Marte smiles in 7-2 win
The San Francisco Giants provided the bread in their final series sandwich against the Diamondbacks. Their win on Thursday and their 7-2 win in game 2 Saturday night were somewhat rare well-rounded performances that got the whole team involved. Whole team, whole wheat, with some dubious mystery meat encased in the middle. …Or possibly Italian? […]
