Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
Eric Haase is no kid, but he can definitely play. In his sixth game with the San Francisco Giants, the veteran catcher hit two home runs off Yoshinobu Yamamato (3-3), the second happening one pitch after Harrison Bader took Yamamoto deep in the 5th inning. That put the Giants up 3-2 and they went on […]
After a delightful win in the series opener, the San Francisco Giants are back at the ballpark to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight, in the second game of a four-game series. We wish them the best in this journey. It’s right-hander Adrian Houser on the mound for San Francisco, as the 10-year veteran […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today, we are in wrapping up a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I have been away, and I wanted to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. It’s only fitting that for the twelfth day of Mays-mas, we […]
People come to Los Angeles with big dreams. Some want to make it as Hollywood actors. Others dream of a record deal and music fame. And there’s those who aspire to drink green juice while wearing oversized sunglasses and attend the third-through-seventh inning of a Dodger game at Chavez Ravine while pitching a reality show. […]
The San Francisco Giants head south today to begin a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who will be making his second start for the Giants this season. His first start was in the team’s 3-2 win over the San Diego […]
If Ryan Borucki strikes out Shohei Ohtani at any point in this upcoming Giants-Dodgers series, I’ll email “Ryan Borucki is as cold as the Bo-Rockies” with zero explanation to the department head at the middle school I work at. If Ryan Borucki strikes out Shohei Ohtani at any point in this upcoming Giants-Dodgers series to […]
It’s time for another massive roundup covering the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates and all their weekend games, starting on Friday. That’s a whole lot of baseball to get to, so let’s get to it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the […]
The San Francisco Giants are kicking off a road trip tonight when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers. And, as expected, there are some reinforcements meeting them in Southern California. On Monday afternoon, a few hours before the start of their four-game set with their hated rivals, the Giants announced that center fielder Harrison Bader […]
The San Francisco Giants took two out of three from their longtime rivals just about three weeks ago and it was one of those things where the team, having embarrassed itself across multiple games and a couple weeks, walked away from the wins as a sign that they’d turned a corner. We’ve all been so […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the eleventh day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
Jesus Rodriguez had a chance to end Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh in the 10th inning. The bases were loaded, Willy Adames had just come through with a 2-out, 2-RBI single to knot the Giants back up with the Pirates at six. All the Bay Area mothers, crowned under their inside-out rally caps and feted with […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you. Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the […]
For a while, the bullpen was, shockingly, the only part of the San Francisco Giants that was competent. But lately that hasn’t been the case. San Francisco’s bullpen has fallen apart recently: since the start of the month, Giants relievers are 24th in ERA (6.33), 26th in FIP (4.98), 28th in fWAR (-0.4), 28th in […]
The boos started to boil over from the stands in the 6th inning. A walk, a wild pitch, and two consecutive RBI singles allowed by Ryan Walker set off audible mutterings of a mutiny. The fan uprising grew louder after Heliot Ramos couldn’t pick a line drive out of the lights, turning what should’ve been […]
Good morning, baseball fans! And Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Giants moms out there! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to […]
Today is a weird day. The San Francisco Giants traded their two-time Gold Glove catcher and then, a few hours later, placed their two-time All-Star starting pitcher on the 15-Day Injured List. And yet, through it all, the games must go on, and the Giants still have a date with the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight. Landen […]
The San Francisco Giants Opening Day battery for the last three seasons is as gone as gone can be. Hours after announcing the shocking trade of Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians, the Giants placed the star of their rotation, two-time All-Star Logan Webb, on the 15-Day Injured List. Webb, who has led the National […]
The San Francisco Giants have decided to part ways with their one-sided catcher Patrick Bailey. The two-time Gold Glove winning catcher will be shipped to the Guardians for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson (who’s nickname is reportedly “Tugboat”) and the 29th overall pick in the 2026 draft. If Wilkinson is a tugboat, then Bailey has […]
Going into Friday night, the San Francisco Giants had lost 8 of their last 9 games. They lost 8 of their last 9 games because the San Francisco Giants can’t score runs. The San Francisco Giants can’t hit for power. The San Francisco Giants can only hit singles and ground into double plays. They can’t […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the ninth day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
It’s the start of a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hopefully it goes better than the last few series have gone. For the Giants, lefty Robbie Ray will make his eighth start of the year. The two-time All-Star is 2-4 on the season, with a 2.95 ERA, a 4.47 […]
Controversial headline? Sure. But maybe it’s time to have the conversation, because as Logan Webb goes, so goes the Giants. And, uh, in case you haven’t been watching closely, the 2026 San Francisco Giants are seemingly going nowhere. By some measures, Logan Webb is having the worst start to a season of his wonderful career. […]
There are five San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball teams in-season right now — the Dominican Summer League season doesn’t start for a few more weeks — and all five were in action on Thursday. It was a fun, fun day, so let’s jump straight into it. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect […]
Is this a series featuring two teams headed in opposite directions or early season mirages? The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the offseason fresh off a seventh consecutive losing season. Their 434-598 record over that span was the second-worst in MLB behind only the Rockies (402-629). A team ERA of 4.58 (26th). 29th in runs scored! What […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. I think you can all guess what’s coming […]
