Why Reds have Kirk Herbstreit ‘so beyond pissed off’

Despite a grand slam from Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez to give the team a 10-9 comeback win over the San Francisco Giants, having been down six runs at one point in the game, the team’s season overall has been a disappointing one. Even with the Reds putting the heroic Suarez on waivers shortly after, […] The post Why Reds have Kirk Herbstreit ‘so beyond pissed off’ appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The final Giants-Diamondbacks series of the year

Yesterday, like this entire season, was awful and a reminder that there’s nothing good about the Giants — nor will there likely ever be anything good about them again (sorry to the fans of the farm system). So, let’s celebrate the small moments of fun. Because the Giants have to play a makeup game in […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview # 44 : Diamondbacks @ Giants

The Wild Card Race. While the Giants are out of the race, the Diamondbacks are fighting for the third NL Wild Card.  The Diamondbacks need to sweep this series. Although this is a 4-game series, and played in San Francisco, perhaps the Diamondbacks will surprise by sweeping the series.  This series is an opportunity because: […]

How The Giants Built One of Baseball’s Best Farm Systems

For years, the San Francisco Giants have had one of the more depleted farm systems in all of baseball. They repeatedly failed to develop talent and turn top prospects into everyday contributors at the big-league level. However, over the last year and a half, something has changed. The talent at the top of the system […] The post How The Giants Built One of Baseball’s Best Farm Systems appeared first on Just Baseball .

The Opener: Peters, Kim, Suarez

The Giants are the only team in baseball without a sweep this season. They were so close to changing that on Wednesday. San Francisco was three outs away from taking all three games from the Reds, but gave up seven runs in the ninth inning to drop the final game of the series. 1. ‘Bananas […]

Braves News: Roster move, Dodgers drama, more

Didier Fuentes was a main character in Wednesday night’s epic win over the Dodgers for Atlanta. He worked two scoreless innings, escaping two bases-loaded jams (one of his own creation). This highlighted how good he has been this season, producing 1.8 fWAR, the 10th most of any reliever in baseball. His 2.37 FIP and 3.10 […]

Giants fan survey: Fix the rotation or fix the bullpen?

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. The San Francisco Giants pitching has been miserable this year. Buster Posey’s self-proclaimed plan to win with pitching and defense has fallen on its face, from […]

The biggest turd

A Bondsian homer into the cove. Single. Walk. Walk. Grand slam. Bunt single, error. Bunt Single. Stolen base. Sac fly. Single. That, ladies and gentlemen, is one sweet surge of offense and one epic meltdown on defense. Take a guess which side of the ball our Giants were on…  I wrote after Saturday’s walk-off loss […]

Reds roar back for 10-9 win over Giants with 7-run 9th inning

The moribund Cincinnati Reds looked just that for most of their three-game series by the San Francisco Bay. They entered play on Wednesday afternoon having scored just a lone run through the first two games of the series, that coming late on Tuesday in the form of a solo Sal Stewart homer. Not even moving […]

Catching up with some old friends

The San Francisco Giants wisely decided to become extreme sellers at this year’s trade deadline, swapping six major-leaguers in five separate trades. While the players coming back are all in the minor leagues, besides reliever Anthony Molina, the ex-Giants are all over the playoff race. Here’s how these old friends are faring in their new […]

Rafael Devers surpasses Willie Mays in Giants history with massive home run

The San Francisco Giants swung a huge trade last season for slugging infielder Rafael Devers. The veteran slugger had a falling out with the Boston Red Sox. And he was shipped out of Boston as a result. The Giants certainly aren’t complaining as Devers continues to make an impact in their lineup. Devers and the […] The post Rafael Devers surpasses Willie Mays in Giants history with massive home run appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Giants Select Braxton Roxby

The Giants announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Braxton Roxby. He will take the active roster spot of fellow righty Adrian Houser, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt has been transferred to the 60-day IL. Whisenhunt was diagnosed with a sprained […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants – Nick Lodolo vs. Logan Webb

Terry Francona opted to shuffle his lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the San Francisco Giants, and the Cincinnati Reds will have a new leadoff hitter in rookie Hector Rodriguez. Each of Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart have been pushed down the batting order, for whatever reason, because apparently that’s going to jump […]

8/26 Gamethread: Giants vs. Reds

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this series against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 3.75 ERA, 3.33 FIP, with 112 strikeouts to 35 walks in 141.2 innings pitched.

Giants place Adrian Houser on the IL, call up Braxton Roxby

For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants have placed a starting pitched on the Injured List with a potentially devastating injury. On Tuesday, it was lefty Carson Whisenhunt, who left Monday’s start with elbow discomfort and is now headed for Tommy John surgery. And on Wednesday, it was righty Adrian Houser, […]

Tony Vitello once tried calling into Howard Stern to talk to Dolly Parton, dissed Chiefs’ Taylor Swift hoopla

Ever since she was first linked to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has become part of the culture, but San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello prefers another icon in the country music genre, Dolly Parton, who died on Aug. 25, 2026. Per the San Francisco Chronicle, Vitello tried to call into the […] The post Tony Vitello once tried calling into Howard Stern to talk to Dolly Parton, dissed Chiefs’ Taylor Swift hoopla appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Giants’ Carson Whisenhunt To Undergo UCL Surgery

Giants lefty Carson Whisenhunt will undergo surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. He’s getting one more opinion before having the procedure, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle adds, but it seems that’ll likely be to give a better idea as […]

Willy Adames Diagnosed With UCL Sprain; Adrian Houser Headed For MRI

Giants shortstop Willy Adames has been diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Since it’s in his non-throwing arm, the team has not yet made a determination about surgery. The injury to Adames apparently occurred Sunday on a fairly innocuous slide into home […]

Every baseball fan remembers the year their favorite team put it all together and brought home a World Series championship. Equally as memorable, but much more painful, are the memories of their team collapsing down the stretch and losing a playoff berth. This is the homestretch of the MLB season, and several teams are jockeying […] The post 10 MLB Teams With the Worst Collapses in History appeared first on Just Baseball .
