Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
After Wednesday’s loss to the San Diego Padres, it seemed all but certain that the San Francisco Giants would place right-handed reliever José Buttó on the Injured List at some point today. And indeed, on Thursday afternoon, a few hours before starting a series against the New York Mets, the Giants announced that Buttó was […]
Being a Mets fan must be exhausting. Being of New York is a status symbol, which carries privilege but also responsibility. The Mets are expected to win! And short of that, they’re expected to do everything they can to win. And if they don’t, there’s no choice as a fan but to be miserable. Plenty […]
Great news, prospect fans. Yesterday was the last day (off days notwithstanding) that only one San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliate was in action. Today there will be two affiliates playing baseball, and on Friday we get four. As summer rolls closer, we’ll get seven! For now though, it’s just one team and a […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Every once in a while, a San Francisco Giants player gets to be both the hero San Francisco deserves, and the one they need right now. On Tuesday night, that hero was Willy Adames. Not only did he crush a leadoff home run on the second pitch of Tuesday night’s game, […]
Meltdowns of varying scale and on competing fronts for the San Francisco Giants, led to a rather ugly 7-1 loss to the Padres this afternoon. Hours after the offense blossomed into a 16-hit, 9-run evening, manager Tony Vitello tried to run the good-vibes back, and…the batting order withered in the harsh light of the noon […]
The San Francisco Giants conclude their series against the San Diego Padres this afternoon from Petco Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, making his Giants debut. Houser finished the 2025 season with a 3.31 ERA, 3.81 FIP, with 92 strikeouts to 38 walks in 125 innings pitched between the […]
The San Francisco Giants still have just one Minor League Baseball team in action, but that’s changing oh-so soon. Low-A San Jose begins their season on Thursday, while High-A Eugene and AA Richmond kick off the 2026 campaign on Friday. Until then, it’s just AAA Sacramento, so not a ton to talk about. But let’s […]
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Opening Week was a little bit funny in the NL West. Everyone expects the Los Angeles […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we discussed yesterday, I am living in the past on these so I am going to take a second to give the San Francisco Giants a polite golf clap for getting their first win of the 2026 season on Monday night! But today, I wanted to take a look at […]
If you’re new to these parts — “these parts” being the generic internet space surrounding the San Francisco Giants — then you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the lingo. Namely, one phrase: a “Webbing.” A Webbing is the tragic sequel to a Caining, wherein a star Giants pitcher — first Matt Cain, now Logan Webb […]
The San Francisco Giants continue their series against the San Diego Padres tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who finished the 2025 season with a 3.22 ERA, 2.60 FIP, with 224 strikeouts to 46 walks in 207 innings pitched. His last start was on Opening Day, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today, I wanted to check in to see how everyone is feeling after the first series of the year for the San Francisco Giants, in which they were swept by the New York Yankees. Yes, I know they will have technically started the second series by the time you’re reading this, […]
My dad used to always tell me that you only get one chance to make a good first impression. He’s right, though thankfully in baseball, the playoff teams aren’t chosen based on their first impressions. For their first series of the season — a putrid, feckless, and deeply uncompetitive sweep at the hands of the […]
The bullpen was the lone bright spot for the San Francisco Giants in what was otherwise a miserable opening series sweep against the New York Yankees. But that didn’t keep the team from seeking an upgrade, just a few days into the season. On Monday afternoon, ahead of their second series of the year (against […]
The San Francisco Giants head south to take on their division rival San Diego Padres tonight at Petco Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who completed the 2025 season with a 3.80 ERA, 3.91 FIP with 102 strikeouts to 45 walks in 106.2 innings pitched. He’ll be facing off […]
It sure would be nice for the San Francisco Giants to get a win under their belt this week. Hopefully, that win happens in this series against the San Diego Padres. On the other hand, over the last four seasons, the Giants are just 10-19 at Petco Park. History is probably not a predictor of […]
We did it, folks. We survived the long and cold baseball offseason, and now not only has San Francisco Giants baseball returned, but also San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball. Only one of the organization’s affiliates has started play, but that team — the AAA Sacramento River Cats — played a trio of games over […]
The results are in from the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, which launched on March 25th, the doomed Opening Night. Regardless of that game and the one that followed, San Francisco Giants fans remain bullish about the teams chances going forward. Well, okay, maybe not bullish. Positive. 55% of the vote went away from 86 […]
Good morning, baseball fans! A new week of San Francisco Giants baseball begins today, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for this week. First up, the Giants will travel down to San Diego for a three-game series against their division rivals, the San Diego Padres starting tonight. After that, they will welcome […]
A crucial first step has been made for our 2026 San Francisco Giants. After barely even being able to stand up in the box over the first two games of the season, suddenly the offensive started to find their legs. They looked steady against right-hander Will Warren in the 1st. Back-to-back hits from Luis Arraez […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re getting back into the swing of the regular season, it’s time to find out what everyone’s favorite highlights of the week were! I am, once again, at a distinct disadvantage because as of the time this is being written there has only been one game played this week, […]
The San Francisco Giants are about to close out their series with the New York Yankees, and we’re all hoping the finale goes better than the first two acts. So far, the Yankees have completely shut down the Giants, winning 7-0 on Wednesday and 3-0 on Friday. San Francisco has mustered just four hits all […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re back into the groove of the regular season for the San Francisco Giants, it’s time to start checking in weekly to see who everyone’s Player of the Week is! This week is a bit tough, especially for me because I have to pre-write these. Which means the team […]
18 zeros. 18 goose eggs. 18 uh-ohs. 18 black holes. 18 innings of big ol’ nothin’s from the San Francisco Giants offense. Two days removed from being carved up by New York starter Max Fried (with an off-day in-between to recoup), the Giants hitters got right back in the saddle, and promptly tumbled off […]
The San Francisco Giants will continue their opening series against the New York Yankees this afternoon from Oracle Park. The Yankees have a 1-0 series lead after the Giants’ disastrous Opening Day loss. Taking the mound for the first time this season for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who finished the 2025 season […]
