Thursday BP: Will the Giants be in last place after this weekend?
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants welcome the Colorado Rockies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a four-game series. Because that’s what everyone wanted after a weekend series at Coors Field last week. Four more games! I am, of course, kidding. Literally no one wants this, probably not even the players on either […]
Dylan Cease takes no-hit bid into 9th as Blue Jays crush Giants
Baseball has a funny way of sticking with you. Some plays, some moments, some games, some players, just latch onto certain segments of your brain and I’m not fit to diagnose why. I’ve consumed thousands and thousands of San Francisco Giants games in my life. Some through paper box scores, and others through digital ones; […]

Giants place Jonah Cox on the 10-Day IL, call up Jesús Rodríguez
The San Francisco Giants made a roster move on Wednesday, ahead of their series finale matinee against the Toronto Blue Jays.

His last start was in the […]
Wednesday BP: Who should the Giants not consider trading?
Good morning, baseball fans! The baseball world seems to believe that the San Francisco Giants will be sellers at the trade deadline, with everyone on the team receiving speculation in some form or another. Personally, I don’t know if I think that they will actually do that, even if they probably should. This organization rarely […]
7/7 Gamethread: Giants vs. Blue Jays
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.42 ERA, 3.74 FIP, with 50 strikeouts to 19 walks in 57 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
7 Giants land on ESPN’s top 100 trade value list
Around next Wednesday, after this weekend’s MLB Draft and next week’s All-Star Game, we’ll firmly be in trade rumors season with just 27 days left until the deadline. As one of the worst teams in professional sports this year, the Giants will be sellers this year, and while the team is so bad it’s reasonable […]
Tuesday BP: Injury updates
On Monday, ahead of their entertaining blowout victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Francisco Giants released a bunch of medical updates for their injured players. Perhaps most important is that third baseman Matt Chapman, who is dealing with an abdominal strain, was set to re-join the team on Monday, and will be re-evaluated. […]
Heliot Ramos, Landen Roupp lead Giants to rout over Blue Jays
May and June served as months to forget for Landen Roupp and Heliot Ramos. Roupp, following a brilliant March and April that generated All-Star buzz, struggled disastrously. After ending April with a 5-1 record and a 2.55 ERA, Roupp labored through 11 May and June starts, sporting a 5.87 ERA and walking 26 batters in […]

All Our Yesterdays: Giants-Blue Jays Series Preview
I just can’t wait until the end of the season to do the final analysis of the San Francisco Giants/Farhan Zaidi opting not to sign Kevin Gausman to an extension after the 2021 season. With the trade deadline less than a month away now and Robbie Ray almost certainly on the move, it’s begging to […]

Good morning, baseball fans! A new week of San Francisco Giants baseball is upon us, so it’s time to see what’s on deck.

Sunday BP: Highlight of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, so it’s time to take a look back at the week that was and pick our favorite highlights of the week. I think it should come as no surprise to anyone that my favorite highlight of the week was […]
Giants Luis Arráez, Logan Webb named to National League All-Star team
The San Francisco Giants have been arguably the worst team in the National League this year, but that doesn’t mean they’re stuck with a token All-Star. Instead, the team received a pair of selections on Saturday when the 2026 MLB All-Star rosters were revealed. One of those players was an obvious selection: second baseman Luis […]

It’s time for some holiday baseball, with the San Francisco Giants playing another game in Home Run Derby Park, as they visit the Colorado Rockies for Game 2 of their three-game series.

Saturday BP: Player of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close this weekend, so it’s time to make our picks for Player of the Week! I’m picking Rafael Devers this week, specifically for his performance in last Saturday’s 5-0 win over the Atlanta Braves, in which he hit TWO home runs, […]
7/3 Gamethread: Giants @ Rockies
The San Francisco Giants head to Coors Field tonight to begin a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. As of the time this is being written, the Giants have not yet announced a starting pitcher. But check out the comments below for more up-to-date information. Whoever it ends up being will be facing off against […]
Giants-Rockies Series Preview: KABOOM?
The Rockies rolled into May with a surprising record of 14-18, but since then they’ve gone a much more familiar 21-35 to really dig into last place of the NL West. Of course, all season long, the Giants have been burrowing at the edges trying to breach their trench. The teams are separated by 2 […]
Logan Webb wins his first Pitcher of the Month Award
What a great turn of events. Logan Webb’s season looked like it was heading into a ditch at full speed after pitching to a 5.06 ERA (3.57 FIP) and an IL stint. One silly writer even speculated that he might be cooked. Instead, he’s been named the National League Pitcher of the Month for June […]
Would Robbie Ray really bring back more in trade than Luis Arraez?
In yesterday’s SB Nation Reacts survey, Brady posed the question, “Who will return more when they’re invariably traded? Robbie Ray or Luis Arraez?” I have to say that after going through the comments section I was a surprised by the fan responses even before knowing the poll results. Most seem to think that Robbie Ray […]
Friday BP: Fourth of July
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are heading to Coors Field today to take on the Colorado Rockies for this Fourth of July weekend. So today I wanted to see what everyone’s favorite Giants (or general baseball) related Fourth of July memories are. This is normally the part where I would weigh in […]
