Latest news and updates about the Giants
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants will be playing the Kansas City Royals on the road today at 1:05 p.m. PDT. Unfortunately it will not be televised, but you can listen in on the MLB At Bat app (and probably KNBR, but it doesn’t specify.) While we wait, their social media team recently […]
The San Francisco Giants made the controversial decision this offseason to only mildly shore up their starting pitching. They entered the winter with two holes in their starting five, and they did address those holes with two additions, in the form of Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle. That was a very modest shoring up. Those […]

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: To no one’s surprise, Max Fried will be taking the baton first for the Yankee rotation in 2026. The team officially announced that Fried will be the Opening Day starter on March 25th against the Giants, setting up their ace from the 2025 season to start things off. Fried didn’t get […]
New San Francisco Giants second baseman has read your (our) criticism of his lack of power and he decided to take it out on the beleaguered pitchers of Team Israel. Luis Arraez went 4-for-5 with four runs, five RBIs, two doubles and two big home runs as Venezuela defeated Israel Saturday night, 11-3. at loanDepot […]
The eternal struggle for fans, writers, analysts, and even coaches and front office folks this time of year, is figuring out what we can actually learn. When a team excels or face plants in Spring Training play, it’s hard to know what you’ve learned from that; don’t forget that the San Francisco Giants had the […]
On Monday, just two-and-a-half weeks before Opening Day, the San Francisco Giants shored up their left-handed depth with a move many expected months ago: Joey Lucchesi. Lucchesi was somewhat surprisingly non-tendered at the start of the offseason, after a fairly strong 2025 with the Giants (MLB Trade Rumors projected him for $2 million in arbitration). […]
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Matt Buschmann, like many coaches, is new to the Colorado Rockies in 2026. He came to the Rockies after working for both the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants, and has been making his mark on the team right out of the gate. “I learned a ton [in my previous positions],” […]
It’s hard to believe it, but the San Francisco Giants are already more than halfway through their Cactus League schedule. They’ve played 15 games, with 14 remaining. They’ve also played an exhibition against Team USA, while the future has four more exhibitions: a Spring Breakout prospect game with the Cincinnati Reds, one game against their […]
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs who played in this game who will actually be on the Opening Day roster did very well. They got five runs out of (most) of the starting lineup and three relievers who will be in the Opening Day bullpen threw scoreless innings (and so did Luke Little, which is a […]

Go get ‘em, Hunter.

It’s another season of change for Major League Baseball. For the first time ever, hitters and catchers will have the chance to overturn called balls and strikes in official games. Are the days of ejections for arguing balls and strikes over? How do Major League Baseball fans feel about the game’s evolution? Bryce Eldridge drew […]
Record 7-8. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-10-1. The streaking Diamondbacks continued – and not in a good way. After winning five spring games in a row, they have now dropped four on the trot. They had the lead here early, courtesy of a first-inning home-run from catcher Gabriel Moreno, and Kohl Drake made […]
Just time for the barest of Gameday Threads this afternoon. Here’s our line-up, which saw a late change with Crisantes coming in to replace Torin.

Happy weekend, baseball fans. How ‘bout them Giants? They’re cruising! Try to forget that the Cactus League is mostly meaningless, and live in a happy world of dominant Giants baseball. Sami usually writes the BPs, but a combination of sickness and birthday celebration has put me on the duty for a few days. But, had […]
Logan Webb took the mound tonight, just not for our humble San Francisco Giants, but for Team USA in their World Baseball Classic opener. His second pitch for the Stars and Stripes got blasted nearly 400 feet. He went on to retire the next dozen batters, discarding half of them by way of the K. […]
The Cincinnati Reds will roll out lefty Andrew Abbott for another tune-up start today when they take on the San Francisco Giants at their stadium over in Scottsdale, Arizona. They’ll also be up against an old friend as righty Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants. The Reds, who still refuse to post anywhere […]
On March 19, less than a week before their Opening Day showdown with the New York Yankees, the San Francisco Giants will play the Cincinnati Reds in this year’s Spring Breakout game.

Opening Day for the 2026 Major League Baseball season is about three weeks away (beginning officially with a standalone game between the Yankees and Giants on March 25), and while there are several former Tigers already in the Big Leagues, LSU’s pipeline to The Show is alive and well. On Thursday the MLB announced preliminary […]
Spring training doesn’t count, but the Mariners currently sit at 3-8 after losing again to the Giants last night. Spring training doesn’t count and also spring training doesn’t count, but it would sure be nice to bank another win, even if spring training doesn’t count. Lineups: Also slated to pitch for the Mariners: Casey Lawrence, […]
Hello everyone! The Mariners played a late one last night, dropping the contest to the Giants by a 9-4 final. It’s a bit disappointing that unlike many teams, the Mariners don’t get to play an exhibition against a World Baseball Classic squad. It would have been cool to see some of our own stars playing […]
