Latest news and updates about the Giants
The annual draft is the easiest way for a baseball team to add talent cheaply. To keep things cheap, Major League Baseball has limited the amount of money teams can spend on signing bonuses, with penalties in place for anyone who goes over their limits. The San Francisco Giants are in a unique position this […]
The White Sox spent a little bit in the offseason and acquired a fun player from Japan who has slugged the franchise back into relevance. As fun as it has been to see that the literal Pope of the Roman Catholic church is a White Sox fan, Munetaka Murakami’s fast rise in 2026 has dragged […]

The first headline I saw when I searched up our recently cast-off backstop was for an AP article published by the Watertown Daily News: “Baily, Cantillo lead Guardians to four-game series sweep…” While I harbor no real ill-will towards Patrick Bailey, I admit I wasn’t pleased about the news. Petty tribalism inherent in fandom runs […]
Hello, Mr. Future Hall of Famer, sir, Mr. Buster Posey Man. I am but a lowly sports blogger doing that thing that bad baseball columnists do and writing you an open letter. Here’s why. It’s unfathomable that there’s just 17 months or so remaining on your deal to be the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations. […]
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s an off day for the San Francisco Giants today, so I wanted to touch on a topic that I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Every time the D-Backs have a dramatic finish to a game like Ketel Marte’s electric walk-off homer last night, I always half expect the team to show some lethargy the next day. That certainly hasn’t been the case this year to this point and that’s a real credit to the coaching staff and the veteran […]
It wasn’t enough that Ketel Marte broke the hearts of the San Francisco Giants with a walkoff three-run homer Tuesday night. He just had to go 3-for-3 with a walk and cross home plate as many times as the Giants’ entire team did in a 6-3 Arizona Diamondbacks win. Tyler Mahle fell to 1-6 after […]

Diamondbacks News Ketel Marte Hits Career-First Walk-off HomerKetel Marte played the role of dramatic hero, slugging his first-ever walk-off home run, this one being his first homer of the season from the right side.

Good morning, baseball fans! As someone who has been collecting music electronically for their entire adult life, I have amassed quite a vast collection of random songs over the years. Occasionally, I’ll just put my entire collection on shuffle for a few weeks to see what comes up and last night, I shuffled upon some […]
There’s an old sketch from The State called “The Barry Lutz Show” where a doctor played by Thomas Lennon explains his research in the field of “monkey torture,” accompanied by an adorable simian. He eventually takes a phone call that purportedly tells him he has to stop torturing monkeys forever and let them all go, […]

Game Recaps Diamondbacks get production from entire lineup in win over Giants by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] Not to be lost on Monday was a solid performance from D-backs starter Zac Gallen, who delivered his first quality start (six-plus innings, three earned runs or fewer) since April 1. That was the game when he blanked […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants continue their local road trip later today when they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the meantime, I thought we’d take a moment to watch a video that the team’s social media crew put out last week on their YouTube channel. In the video, Giants players answer […]

Record: 23-23. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: -1. I’ve learned not to tempt the baseball gods by starting on the recap too early. The only time I did so far this season, was the game against the Orioles, where the D-backs led 7-2 in the middle of the sixth inning. It… did not end well. […]
