Latest news and updates about the Giants
The Athletics and Giants battled in the rubber-game of their three-game set on a windy Sunday afternoon in Sacramento. While the wind helped both teams score runs, the weather did not play that much of a factor in this game’s result. Rather it was the A’s bullpen and defensive collapse in the eighth inning, when […]
It’s series finale time, as the San Francisco Giants take on the Oakland/Sacramento/Vegas Athletics for the third game of the series. I’m writing this before the first game, so here’s hoping that the Giants are going for a sweep, or at least a series win today. But who knows! You, probably. If the scheduled starters […]
After splitting the first two games of the series, the Athletics and San Francisco Giants will square off this afternoon in the rubber game of this rivalry weekend showdown. Athletics’ starting pitcher Luis Severino struggled yesterday. The Giants jumped out to a 5-0 lead before holding off the A’s late comeback attempt. As a result, […]
The San Francisco Giants had gone three games without a hit with a runner in scoring position. The offense just couldn’t string together anything of substance. They had become reliant on an inside-the-park-homer or solo shot from Luis Arraez, which is like relying on lightning strikes to be your home’s main provider of electricity. Unsurprisingly, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, which means it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week! For once, I can say we were blessed with an abundance of options this week. But after Thursday night’s game, really, was there any option other than […]
The A’s couldn’t make it two in a row over their former Bay Area rivals. The Green & Gold dropped the middle game of their weekend series against San Francisco Giants on Saturday evening in Sacramento, with their comeback attempt coming up short in a 6-4 loss that drops their record to 23-22. Can still […]
It’s time for game two of the series between the San Francisco Giants and their former neighbors, the one-named Athletics. At the time of me writing this, a few days in advance, the scheduled matchup is right-handers Trevor McDonald and Luis Severino. McDonald has made two starts on the season, and is 1-0 with a […]
Our series with the Giants continues this evening with the A’s coming off a series-opening win last night. Can they make it two in a row against their former Bay Area rivals and continue padding their AL West lead? Before we get to the game we had a small transaction this morning. The club has […]
Long gone are the resilience of the Giants extra innings win against Pittsburgh, the heights of Borucki, the hip-thrusting pleasures of LA. Oh, how a three-game winning streak makes fools of us all, and how a three-game losing streak lays bare. A three-game losing streak…or a three-run homer. It was the cantankerous and eyebrow-y manager […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close this weekend, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! Or, I guess in this week’s case, our Players of the Week. Because I’m giving the honors to two people this week, with a caveat that I […]
The San Francisco Giants head to Sacramento tonight to begin a three-game series against the Athletics. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.18 ERA, 5.03 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 20 walks in 41.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-6 […]
Tonight, the Athletics look to get back to winning ways as they kick-off a three-game series against their regional rival, the San Francisco Giants, in West Sacramento. While this rivalry matchup does not feel the same in the wake of the A’s departing Oakland to eventually relocate to Las Vegas, Sutter Health Park should be […]
It was only last August when I assured everyone that the Giants would finish ahead of the Athletics, but it would probably be close. That didn’t wind up being the case, as the Giants got to 81 wins compared to teh A’s 76, but there’s something interesting about going back and reading through some of […]
The Arizona Cardinals knew that, despite being one of the fourth-place finishers in last year’s regular season, their schedule this year wasn’t going to be an easy one. In fact, it is the third most difficult based on the 2025 win-loss records of their upcoming opponents. Part of the issue is the fact that three […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the “road” this weekend (I use that word very loosely, because they will be in Sacramento) so I think it’s time for another temp-check to see how we’re feeling about the team right now. Every time I have to take time off during the season, […]
Sometimes a split is healthy. Bad relationships, a thriving stock purchase, ordering a banana-based dessert at an ice cream parlor, your sides at a comedy club. Some splits are bad: Bowling, personalities, the ends of hair, infinitives. The San Francisco Giants going 2-2 on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers falls right in the […]
The Dodgers scored three runs in the sixth inning to back a strong start by Emmet Sheehan to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium and salvage a series split after dropping the first two games. Teoscar Hernández figured prominently on both sides of the ball in and around left […]
One more game to finish off the homestand. Thursday game info
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.09 ERA, 2.51 FIP, with 51 strikeouts to 19 walks in 43.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 13-3 […]
It’s old news by now, but it’s worth remembering some of these smaller stories in what figures to be a long season of losing. The other night, the Giants outfielders performed a final out act?… dance?… behavior?… performance? that received a strong response from those empowered to deliver and enforce a “Knock it off.” If […]
For the first time of 2026, the Dodgers on Thursday won’t have Shohei Ohtani starting for them in any capacity, a planned rest day during the final game against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium. The decision to have Ohtani not hit on either Wednesday or Thursday came before Tuesday’s game, when Ohtani hit […]
While Shohei Ohtani has been struggling at the plate recently, he’s made opposing hitters look even worse. Wednesday night was arguably his best pitching start of the season with seven scoreless innings and eight strikeouts against the San Francisco Giants. Perspective is important with Ohtani, who has legitimately had a rough go of it while […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be honored tonight at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero San Francisco. The San Francisco Giants have a very special Forever Giant on this year’s list of inductees, and that would be former shortstop and local legend Brandon Crawford! Crawford joins fellow […]
The Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2 on Wednesday, with their two best players combining to hit 8-8 with a home run, four doubles, four walks, and a stolen base. Unfortunately, that was in the Arizona Complex League. In the slightly more competitive, and slightly more meaningful Major League Baseball game, the Giants lost to the […]
LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 2026, Shohei Ohtani will not start at either designated hitter or pitcher for the Dodgers in their series finale against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani has slumped for several weeks, which coupled with the need to manage his two-way workload as […]
