Latest news and updates about the Giants
Paul DePodesta made a name as one of Billy Beane’s acolytes during the Moneyball era and in 2004, at the age of 31 became the Dodgers’ GM. He was hounded by the musty old LA Times sportwriters (who called him “Google Boy) and local LA media for the two seasons he lasted in the job […]
Difference-making run in the 3-2 decision came on ninth-inning homer.
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are back on the road this weekend, so it’s time to do our semi-regular temp check to see how everyone is feeling about how the season is going at the moment. Personally, getting swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks two weeks in a row doesn’t really inspire confidence. […]
The San Francisco Giants have the second-worst record and the second-worst run differential in the National League. The only thing saving them from total and utter basement-dwelling is the Colorado Rockies. Recently, insider Bob Nightengale reported that the Giants, whom he calls, "the Worst Team Money Can Buy", are trying to unload some of their biggest contracts. That would include the $225M remaining for Rafael Devers, the $161M remaining on Willy Adames's deal, and the $125M left for...
The San Francisco Giants are dead. Long live the San Francisco Giants. They were killed by one of the funniest cases of oversteering in the history of professional sports when a former jock bound for the Hall of Fame roundhouse kicked an overhyped nerd into baseball oblivion to make sure the team stopped letting computers […]

When you think about New York athletes, you think of greatness on the world's biggest stages.
Good morning, baseball fans! Every week, I ask everyone to pick their San Francisco Giants Player of the Week. Last weekend, I picked Casey Schmitt, because he’d been on a bit of a tear. That published on Saturday, and you can imagine my delight in seeing that Schmitt hit yet another home run in that […]
We’re not good at this stuff. The post Giants America appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
No matter how you split it, it’s been a pretty fun couple of weeks to be a Diamondbacks’ fan. Since May 9th, the day after the D-Backs lost an extra-inning affair to the Mets, they’ve gone a major league best 14-4 including today’s win. They’ve pitched to a 2.69 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP between […]

Maybe Indiana Jones was right about snakes. The Arizona Diamondbacks have won nine of their last 10 games and climbed into the second wild-card spot in the National League. Their secret?

Good morning, baseball fans! Before Friday’s San Francisco Giants game, I had not heard a single thing about the “Tarps Off” trend that is sweeping the nation’s sporting events. So I was quite confused when I saw hundreds of fans at the game taking their shirts off and waving them around, to the delight and […]
The Dbacks were able to get their 9th win in the past 10 games Tuesday evening in San Francisco as they were able to beat the Giants 7-5. An all around win for a surging Dbacks team as they were able to get pitching as well as timely offense as this team just keeps rolling. […]

Turns out slam-fest over the weekend against the Chicago White Sox means very little to Merrill Kelly, Ketel Marte, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The five days that elapsed between the Giants last meeting with starter Kelly wasn’t enough to cleanse the palate. The 2026 Giants can’t figure him out, nor could they over the past […]
