Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
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 […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants continue their opening series this weekend against the New York Yankees. So it’s time to see what promotions and events Oracle Park has on deck for fans this weekend! The schedule continues to be a little bit odd this weekend, as the team will have a really […]
Much has been made this preseason about Daniel Susac winning the backup catcher role for the San Francisco Giants. Susac, a northern California native whose older brother, Andrew, won a World Series as Buster Posey’s backup, entered camp as the presumptive favorite due to his Rule 5 status. As a Rule 5 selection, Susac needs […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants played their first game of the 2026 season last night against the New York Yankees. Which means it’s time for first impressions on the 2026 team! That’s right, consider this your blank check for hot takes and small sample size analysis, baby! Let the unhinged diatribes or […]
At long, long, long last, baseball returned on Wednesday. The San Francisco Giants took the field, the fans poured through the gates, and the kayaks flooded the cove. For the first time in 178 days, Giants baseball was back. But seriously, you couldn’t have waited 179 days? We had to do this today? Apparently. And […]
The San Francisco Giants play the very first game of the 2026 MLB season tonight against the New York Yankees at Oracle Park. As a reminder, this game will only be broadcast on Netflix. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-handed ace Logan Webb, who concluded the 2025 season with a 3.22 ERA, […]
We’re a few hours away from a brand new season of San Francisco Giants baseball. Over the last four years, the Giants have gone 321-327. The hope, then, is that starting tonight — when the Giants host the New York Yankees at 5:05 p.m. PT on Netflix — the Giants can put together a campaign […]
And now we find respite from our troubles. It’s a new season of Major League Baseball, one of the best pain relievers known to humankind. Unless your team is on the receiving end of some bad baseball luck. But we won’t talk of such things, not in this opening paragraph. Let us embrace the joy […]
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. It’s here, friends! The start of another glorious season of San Francisco Giants baseball. After four […]
Congratulations, everyone: you did it. You made it through the long, cold, winter months, and emerged onto the glorious other side, where baseball awaits you. The offseason is over. The preseason is over. San Francisco Giants baseball is here, in all her glory and looming disappointment. After Tuesday’s camp cuts, the Giants Opening Day roster […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today is Opening Day for the San Francisco Giants! And that is the best sentence I’ve both written and read in a long time. Every year, it feels like the season takes longer and longer to get here. But today, the long winter is over and baseball returns to Oracle Park. […]
To start, and going against all the advice I give my students about constructing effective persuasive arguments, feel free to disregard this idea from the jump. Tony Vitello already has. I can hear his disembodied voice, sounding suddenly a lot like Graham Chapman, tutting in my ear as I write this: Stop that, it’s too […]
Opening Day is tomorrow, and the San Francisco Giants still have a handful of players they need to trim from the roster before announcing the 26-player roster. But on Tuesday, a few hours before their final exhibition game of the preseason, the Giants took a step closer to finalizing things, by optioning a quartet of […]
As we prepare to watch the San Francisco Giants embark on its 144th season in franchise history, it’s important to keep in mind one very important fact: the team has never had five consecutive losing seasons. That makes a lot of sense for a franchise that has won more games than any other team in […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants kick off their 2026 season tomorrow, with Opening Day against the New York Yankees. So this feels like the best time to get our last minute predictions in for how we think this season is going to go. I’ll let you determine what you would like to […]
The San Francisco Giants played their penultimate game of the spring on Monday night, hosting Sultanes de Monterrey at Oracle Park, less than 48 hours before the start of the 2026 MLB season. You can’t draw many conclusions from such a contest, but the Giants did a lot of the things they hoped to do […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball season begins in about 48 hours and, for reasons still unbeknownst to me, the San Francisco Giants have drawn the opening assignment. A brand new season, full of brand new baseball, kicks off on Wednesday at Oracle Park, with the Giants hosting the New York Yankees, while the rest of […]
In the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, we learn that San Francisco Giants fans have a pretty sober view of the roster: This question was asked before the Giants optioned Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento; and, as you can see here, the majority saw which way the wind was blowing, given the performance of the […]
Are Giants fans okay? I’m compelled to ask because of the last line in Susan Slusser’s report from Thursday about San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds joining the Netflix stream for Opening Night this coming Wednesday (which Steven discusses in more detail here). It goes, “Tickets remain available at the Oracle Park box office and […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Welcome to the first week of the regular season! It’s time to take a look at what’s on deck for the San Francisco Giants this week. Monday The Giants welcome the Sultanes de Monterrey to Oracle Park for an exhibition game tonight at 6:45 p.m. PT. The game will have television […]
It’s been an offseason of unexpected moves for the San Francisco Giants. No one expected them to pursue Luis Arráez as the answer to their second base conundrum, and adding a catcher (Daniel Susac) in the Rule 5 Draft wasn’t an obvious move. They addressed their rotation, as was necessary, but not the way that […]
Victor Bericoto got good and bad news from the San Francisco Giants Friday. He learned he’d been reassigned to the team’s Minor League camp. But he left as the 2026 winner of the Barney Nugent Award. The annual Barney Nugent Award goes to the Giants player making his spring training debut“whose performance and dedication in […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have officially reached the last weekend before baseball gets back! Opening Day for the San Francisco Giants is right around the corner. So this weekend, I wanted to get one last temperature check before the season starts. Personally, I’m just excited for baseball to be back. I have a tiny, […]
Opening Day is just five days away for the San Francisco Giants, and the camp cuts are coming as fast and furious as my favorite modern movie franchise. The big news came on Thursday, when the Giants optioned top prospect Bryce Eldridge to AAA Sacramento, along with Grant McCray and Tyler Fitzgerald. That ended the […]
After a sojourn as not-quite world conquerors, Logan Webb re-donned the orange-and-black on Thursday, taking the mound in what should be his last Cactus League start before 2026’s Opening Day. It wasn’t the glorious, dominant return he may have envisioned for himself. Webb stifled international talent across two starts (allowing 1 ER over 8 2/3 […]
