7/18 Gamethread: Giants @ Mariners
Time for more baseball! The San Francisco Giants play their second game out of the All-Star break, as it’s the middle contest of a three-game set against the Seattle Mariners. It’s the ace Logan Webb on the mound for the Giants, as he makes his 17th start. Webb, who made the All-Star team for the […]
Rested and relaxed
Bucking the trend established in March, these 2026 Goofs started the second, and smaller, half of the season on the right foot with a 7-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. A quality start and seven scoreless tossed by Landen Roupp, a grand-slam slammed by Willy Adames — is this the first step in the Giants’ […]
Weekend BP: Temp Check
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s another weekend of San Francisco Giants baseball. Normally on the weekends I like to pick the player of the week and the highlight of the week. However, most of the Giants have not played any baseball games this week due to the All-Star Game. So it’s kind of hard to […]
7/17 Gamethread: Giants @ Mariners
The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game road series against the Seattle Mariners tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.27 ERA, 3.28 FIP, with 104 strikeouts to 42 walks in 97 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 10-1 win over […]
Giants activate Daniel Susac, designate Eric Haase for assignment
The San Francisco Giants are kicking off the second “half” of the season tonight, and they’re doing so with a slightly altered roster. Just as they did when they entered the All-Star break, the Giants are returning from it with three catchers … just not the same three. A few hours before Friday night’s game […]
Series Preview: Maybe the Giants should trade for Luis Castillo?
The second part of this terrible season kicks off against a Mariners team that’s straining to match their success from a year ago. Those 2025 Mariners? AL West champs. Cal Raleigh hit 60 dingers and they were 4th in the AL in runs scored to boost a decent pitching staff. These 2026 Mariners? 1.5 games […]
Logan Webb doesn’t know who Paul McCartney is
In a video produced by Jomboy Media, our very own All Star Logan Webb, among a variety of other players, were challenged to identify celebrities by their image. Webb nailed the first three easily. Shown a photo of Jennifer Aniston, Webb smiled knowingly, professing that “Friends” was his favorite show. Faced with recent Spiderman star, […]
Friday BP: Heliot Ramos spills the beans
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are back from their All-Star break tonight, as they head north for some interleague play against the Seattle Mariners. In the meantime, let’s take a look at a video that the team’s social media team shared recently featuring outfielder Heliot Ramos. While it is essentially an ad […]
The 2027 season is a Rockies sandwich
The two teams locked in a battle for fourth place in the National League West will renew their rivalry early and late next season. That battle might come down to the bitter end as the San Francisco Giants close the 2027 season with a three-game series at Coors Field. The season will kick off early, […]
Giants at the trade deadline: 3 players I’d like to see them keep
The MLB draft and All-Star festivities are over and we San Francisco Giants fans don’t have much to look forward to other than the looming trade deadline. Of course, the Giants should be one of the busiest teams during the next couple of weeks as they sell away the bitter memories of lost season. Depending […]
Three SF Giants lead ESPN insider’s list of best trade candidates
Maybe the San Francisco Giants aren’t contenders this season, but according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, a few members of this year’s roster could end up on playoff teams after the trade deadline. Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, and Jung Hoo Lee were all listed as the “Best Match” for various MLB contenders and aspiring contenders, though […]
Fun (?) stats from the first part of the season
Remember May 1st? I don’t. But on that date, I wrote this about March & April: The Giants were not a good baseball team, which doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be a bad baseball team going forward. Nobody wants to root for a bad team anyway. That was the start of a post that […]
Thursday BP: Giants outright Eric Cerantola
The San Francisco Giants made a mild-mannered move over the All-Star break, quietly waiving right-handed reliever Eric Cerantola and outrighting him to AAA Sacramento. Cerantola, a fifth-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2021 who made his MLB debut earlier this year, had been claimed off of waivers earlier this month when Kansas City […]
How many games do the Giants need to win in the second half to have a respectable season?
It has been a rough season for the San Francisco Giants. In spite of the positives, the negatives have been so severe as to potentially cause some long-term damage on the field. Personally, I don’t think it’s possible for the Giants to have a “respectable” season no matter what they do, and that includes going […]
Could any Giant factor into the awards races?
No, of course not. Stupid of me to ask, really. I’m sorry. I’m trying to delete it. Oh no, wait. This post is an assessment of the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, so buckle in, voters, you’re about to see some results. With no Giants-specific poll this week, respondents were asked about four different awards […]
Wednesday BP: All-Star Memories
Good morning, baseball fans! We are officially in the dead zone of the All-Star break, so I thought today we could discuss some of our favorite All-Star Game related memories. They don’t have to be specific to the San Francisco Giants, goodness knows the pickings have been slim on that front for a while. But […]
The five worst moments from the Giants’ first “half”
Yesterday, I cobbled together five of what a San Francisco Giants fan might consider to be some of the team’s best moments from the first part of their 2026 season, so let’s look at five of the worst moments. 5. Swept by the Yankees (March 25th-28th) It’s less the sweep and more the way that […]
Tuesday BP: All-Star Game!
Good morning, baseball fans! Tonight is the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, being held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game will be broadcast nationally on Fox. Getting the start for the National League will be the Philadelphia Phillies’ own left-hander Cristopher Sánchez, who ended the first half of the season with a 2.62 […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, July 10-12: The stars are on the move!
It’s the All-Star break for Minor League Baseball too, but not before a hectic and happening weekend for the San Francisco Giants affiliates. Here’s everything you need to know about the action on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the […]
The five best moments from the Giants’ first “half”
I don’t know what to call this segment of the schedule prior to the All-Star game/break because it sure as heck isn’t half a season. The 2026 San Francisco Giants played their 81st game 17 days ago (it was a loss, of course) and will have 66 games remaining when they resume play on Friday […]
Monday BP: What’s on deck this week?
Good morning, baseball fans! We have officially reached the All Star Break. Thank goodness. This San Francisco Giants season is just over halfway over and it already feels like it has been years since it started. The team will, of course, be off Monday through Thursday this week for the festivities. Tonight is the Home […]
2026 MLB Draft: Recapping the Giants round 11-20 picks
After two days, 20 rounds, and more than 600 names announced (some even with correct pronunciations!), the 2026 MLB Draft has come to a close. It was a very fun one for the Giants … after a few years of losing picks due to the Qualifying Offer, the Giants had their full slate this time […]
7/12 Gamethread: Giants vs. Rockies
The San Francisco Giants conclude this four-game series against the Colorado Rockies this afternoon from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who enters today’s game with a 5.46 ERA, 3.99 FIP, with 50 strikeouts to 20 walks in 59.1 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
2026 MLB Draft: Recapping the Giants picks in rounds 5-10
The San Francisco Giants kicked off the two-day 2026 MLB draft with an exciting Saturday, picking up five names who could be key players for years to come. They used their highest pick since 2018 on Santa Barbara pitcher Jackson Flora, before adding a pair of prep pitchers — Carson Bolemon and Kaden Waechter — […]
Sunday BP: How to watch Day 2 of the 2026 MLB Draft
The MLB Draft is now a mega event, so welcome to Day 2! On Saturday, the Giants made their first five selections, taking UC Santa Barbara pitcher Jackson Flora with their first-round pick, prep pitcher Carson Bolemon with the compensation round pick they grabbed in the Patrick Bailey trade, prep pitcher Kade Waechter with their […]
