Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, April 22: Walker Martin shows off
The excitement for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday came from the Major League team, which shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling 3-0 affair. But there was excitement on the farm as well, with all four of their Minor League Baseball A-ball affiliates in action. So let’s dive into it. Link to […]
Thursday BP: Back at you, dude
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are in the midst of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this week, with the final game being played later today. These posts are pre-written, so I don’t get to be as timely as I might like. But I wanted to touch on a moment […]
Giants introduce Shohei Ohtani to Cainings
On Tuesday, we talked about Cainings. The San Francisco Giants introduced Los Angeles Dodgers ace and international superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the concept, with the most common type of Caining in existence. Call it the Standard Caining. In the Standard Caining, a pitcher has a very good game, but their offense doesn’t do enough. Because […]
4/22 Gamethread: Giants vs. Dodgers
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters tonight’s game with a 7.23 ERA, 7.00 FIP, with 21 strikeouts to 12 walks in 18.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, April 21: Keyner Martinez shows off
Just three games for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates on Tuesday, as AAA Sacramento once again saw their game postponed due to poor weather. It’s already the fifth time this year that the River Cats have lost a game due to rain, and they’ll try to get it back on Saturday with […]
Wednesday BP: What are your favorite things to see and do at Oracle Park?
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are back in action at Oracle Park this week. I’m actually going to be attending a game this weekend, too. And I will be taking one of my best friends to her very first game at Oracle Park. So that got me thinking about what the most […]
Giants introduce Yoshinobu Yamamoto to Cainings
The San Francisco Giants have not developed a reputation for intelligence early this season, but on Tuesday they did something very, very smart. They jumped on Yoshinobu Yamamoto early. You’re familiar with Yamamoto. You hoped he was as good as everyone said he was when the Giants appeared determined to not be outbid for his […]
4/21 Gamethread: Giants vs. Dodgers
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.38 ERA, 2.20 FIP, with 24 strikeouts to seven walks in 22.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
Giants place Daniel Susac on IL, call up Eric Haase
The San Francisco Giants made a roster move on Tuesday afternoon, a few hours before starting a series against their rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers. And unfortunately, it’s a move that sees one of the best stories of the young season come to a halt … for a while, at least. San Francisco announced that […]
Giants-Dodgers Series Preview: Battle for California?
There was a time when BEAT LA! was the rising tide that lifted a bad season or served as a line of demarcation for the team’s competitiveness that year. Then it sort of morphed into a bellwether for the state of the franchise relative to its peers — especially when it comes to the industry’s […]
Tuesday BP: BEAT L.A.!
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants return to Oracle Park today to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time this season. I can’t lie, I’m kind of dreading this series. The wins over the weekend were great, and exactly what the team needed to build some momentum. Unfortunately, I’m concerned […]
Giants weekend Minor League Baseball roundup, April 17-19: Cam Maldonado can’t miss!
It’s time again for the mega Monday San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball roundup. The Giants have an off day today, so why not spend it reading about what happened to their A-ball affiliates on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? Let’s dive in! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions […]
Monday BP: What’s on deck this week?
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for the week. The Giants are off today, but they’re heading back home to Oracle Park for both series this week. First up, the Los Angeles Dodgers are coming to town tomorrow for […]
Offense observes day of rest in 3-0 loss
It had been a laborious weekend for the Giants bats. After two — count ‘em two — high intensity games in which they scored 17 total runs on 31 hits over 21 innings, the offense looked relatively exhausted in Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Washington. Spring’s bipolar nature abruptly swapped the tank-top heat of summer for […]
4/19 Gamethread: Giants @ Nationals
It’s series finale time! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up a nine-game road trip today, and attempting to end it on a high note. Left-hander Robbie Ray will try to lead them to a happy cross-country flight. Ray makes his fifth start of the season, and is 2-2 with a 2.42 ERA, a 4.69 […]
Sunday BP: Highlights of the Week
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! I have to be honest, as of the time this is being written, they have lost every game this week. And my week includes last weekend because […]
4/18 Gamethread: Giants @ Nationals
After a nice win in the opener on Friday, the San Francisco Giants will try to win their series against the Washington Nationals today, and set themselves up for a sweep tomorrow. A series win sure would be nice. Haven’t had one of those in a while. Taking the mound for the Giants is right-hander […]
The other times the Giants have started 8-12
In case you missed it, the San Francisco Giants won their 8th baseball game of the 2026 season last night and scored 10 runs in the process just to make us all feel even better about it. It was their 20th game of the season, though, so there’s the whole matter of their 8-12 record. […]
Ramos rallies offense in 10-5 win
Heliot Ramos had something to prove in his return to the starting line-up in D.C.. Pretty early on in this young season, imposter syndrome appeared to have set in. The first left fielder to start in back-to-back Opening Days for the Giants in nearly 20 years had been playing as if he was just another […]
Saturday BP: Player of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball is drawing to a close, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! They say there’s a song for any and every occasion, and I guess the one for today is “Slim Pickins” by Sabrina Carpenter. Because there was not a […]
4/17 Gamethread: Giants @ Nationals
The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game road series against the Washington Nationals this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 5.25 ERA, 3.20 FIP, with 21 strikeouts to nine walks in 24 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 6-2 loss […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, April 16: Big, big, big home runs
Thursday was a good day for the San Francisco Giants, as they finally won a game. It wasn’t as good of a day for their Minor League Baseball affiliates, though, who we have grown accustomed to winning, winning, and winning some more this year. They did a little bit of that on Thursday, but there […]
Giants-Nationals Series Preview: Is either team good?
The Washington Nationals are a collection of one of the cuter memes in recent memory. Daylen Lile. Jorbit Vivas. Keibert Ruiz. None of these words are in the Bible? Oh… what’s that? These are the names of some of the players? Hmm, that makes a lot more sense. Well, look, getting to know the Nationals […]
Friday BP: Friday Temp Check
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the road again this weekend, so we’re going to do another temp check. Which is maybe not ideal timing after the week that was, but I feel like they could maybe benefit from the feedback of the fanbase at this point. This team is not […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, April 15: The homers just keep coming
On Wednesday, for the first time since Friday, all four of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates were in action. And, not for the first (or second) time this year, they all won! Fun times on the farm. Let’s jump into it. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All […]
