It's time for the series finale between the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins, with the winner of the game also winning the series.Personally, I vote for the Giants to win.I think that would be more fun!The Giants are giving the ball to left-handed pitcher Alex Wood, who makes just his sixth appearance and fifth start, due to injuries.

It's time for Game 2 between the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies.After a delightful 6-3 win on Monday, the Giants have an opportunity to begin a winning streak once more, and also secure a series victory.Those things would be nice!We're in for a treat, as this is a fantastic pitching matchup.

Well, for better or worse, the San Francisco Giants are playing today.And after two very disappointing series conclusions (which came after two very exciting series wins), the Giants will try again, this time at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, a talented team that, like the Giants, has had a disappointing season.

The St. Louis Cardinals usually have had just one losing season in the 21st century (2007), and in that season, their record through 66 games (30-36) was still better than their 2023 record through 66 games (27-39).This is their worst record at this point of the season since 1995, when the team finished 62-81 in a strike-shortened year.

After sweeping the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, the San Francisco Giants are in danger of losing a home series against the Chicago Cubs.They lost Friday's series opener 3-2, so they'll have to sweep the weekend games to win the series.That, it goes without saying, starts with this game.Quick roster note: the Giants reinstated and optioned Joey Bart before the game.

The San Francisco Giants' descent from rocky mountain high Coors Field to sea-level was grounded abruptly by Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs in a 3-2 loss on Friday.The rally we all had grown accustomed to didn't quite materialize, petering out after Joc Pederson's 2-out infield dribbler somehow resulted in an RBI single that put San Francisco within 1-run in the 7th.

It's time for a new series, and the San Francisco Giants are back at home to try and build on their momentum after sweeping the Colorado Rockies.They've got a good opponent to help them in that quest, as they're facing a Chicago Cubs team that has lost four straight games.Roster note: the Giants initially had J.D. Davis playing third base and hitting fifth, but he was a late scratch due to hip tightness.

Through two games at Coors Field, the the San Francisco Giants had beaten the Colorado Rockies in two very different ways.And neither way felt like a fitting tribute to the Banquet Beer's park.During Tuesday's 10-4 win, the Giants tied a SF-era franchise record with eight doubles, and threw a triple in there for good measure.

I tried very hard to figure out the one or two things you could point to that explains why the Colorado Rockies are so bad, but my finger(s) kept drifting towards the front office.By total fWAR, they're 25th in pitching (3.3) and last in Major League Baseball in hitting (0.7).How does that happen beyond personnel choices directed by the personnel choosers?

Guess what?The Arizona Complex League and Dominican Summer League begin their seasons today!No off days in the Minors now!But we'll have to wait until tomorrow to cover those young teams ... for now we have the four San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball A-ball teams to get to.Let's dive into the action.

When they dropped two out of three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates during the week, the San Francisco Giants broke a streak of four consecutive series victories.Now they have a chance to get right back to it.After a 4-0 win on Saturday, the Giants find themselves in a series tie with one of the best teams in baseball, the Baltimore Orioles.

It's time for the second game of the series between the San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles.And it's also time for something that's very rare: late night baseball on the weekend!Yep, the Giants are playing a home game on a Saturday night at 7:05 p.m., something they won't do again this year (though they do have a handful of 6:05 p.m.ers).

It's time for the series finale between the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates.After dropping Tuesday's contest, the Giants need a win to secure the series.With a win, the Giants would take their fifth straight series.With a loss, they would move back to .500, and drop their first series since losing three of four against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 11-14.

It's once again time for a new series, and the San Francisco Giants will look to win their fifth consecutive series.But before they can win a series they'll have to win a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and get back in the win column, after a 7-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday snapped a three-game winning streak.

It's time for the start of a new series.The San Francisco Giants, who have won three straight series against three good teams, are visiting the Milwaukee Brewers to kick off a four-game series.The Giants won two out of three games when the Brewers visited Oracle Park, but now the series is in Milwaukee.

After beating the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 4-1 on Saturday night, the San Francisco Giants have won four straight games, and have taken their last two series, against two very good teams.And now they'll go for something that they've yet to achieve all season: a sweep.A win gives them a sweep, and a whole bunch of momentum going into a three-game home series against a not very good Washington Nationals team.

Dodger Stadium is set to host BLACKPINK as part of their Born Pink North American Tour, along with the Jonas Brothers stopping in Los Angeles as part of their 35-date tour in September, and recently added to the Dodger Stadium concert schedule is Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival returning.

The San Francisco Giants are now 13-7 in the Casey Schmitt Era or 8-3 in the Patrick Bailey Era, depending on how you want to see this new and exciting team that's come of age here in May.The Giants trounced, bounced, blew out and/or scuttled the Pirates, 14-4 today thanks in part to this burgeoning young core.

Baseball fans know the name of Bernie Williams, a multiple All-Star selection and World Series champ.Using his celebrity status as both a baseball player and musician, Williams is on a new mission: Raising awareness for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) through music and fundraisers.Before Bernie started on this humanitarian mission off the field, he played in more than 2,000 games for the New York Yankees over 16-years.

The Nationals have had an interesting season to this point.They're not good, but they've managed an 8-8 road record against the Rockies (2-2), Angels (1-2), Twins (2-1), Mets (2-1), and Diamondbacks (1-2*).They're supposed to be in a rebuild - and they are - but half a season out from trading away Juan Soto and one might expect them to be a little bit worse than 14-20.

After a 14-4 shellacking on Monday afternoon, the San Francisco Giants will face the Pittsburgh Pirates with a chance to win their fifth consecutive series.And if they lose - which I hope they don't!- they'll get another chance on Wednesday.I'd prefer if that game were for a sweep!The Giants are turning to right-handed pitcher John Brebbia to serve as the opener.

The Milwaukee Brewers remain the best defensive team in baseball, but when that was the case earlier this month, it didn't stop the San Francisco Giants from taking two out of three in Oracle Park.After taking two out of three in Minnesota, can they carry over some of that winning here?It's going to be tough.

Santa Clara is going to host another Super Bowl.And this time, it should host the whole week's worth of festivities.On Monday, NFL owners awarded Levi's Stadium Super Bowl 60, to be played in February 2026.It's a bit of a surprise that it's returning to the bay, as Super Bowl 50, held in 2016, left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

If the Miami Marlins were to win their first series in San Francisco since 2017, they'd need big days from Jorge Soler and Jesús Luzardo.Unfortunately, the former's first 4-hit day since 2019 wasn't enough to help Miami overcome the Giants' offense in a 7-5 finale loss.Soler wasted no time in getting Miami off to a quick start, torching an Alex Wood slider for a solo home run (12) in the top of the 1st.

LHP Braxton Garrett (81 ERA+ this season)
Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Berti, Edwards and Fortes in, Peyton Burdick, Jean Segura and Jacob Stallings out; Hampson switches from CF to RF
Additional Marlins Notes: The Marlins offense has quietly been decent lately, scoring at least three runs in each of their last nine games (.764 OPS over that span)...Wendle is slumping this season and it's more than just bad luck-his weighted on-base average (.190 wOBA) and expected weight on-base average (.189 xwOBA) are virtually identical.

It's time for the second game in the series between the San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins and, after winning on Friday night to extend their winning streak to four games, the Giants are looking to secure their second consecutive series win.There's some excitement, as catcher Patrick Bailey - called up on Friday after just 28 games above High-A - will be making his first career start.

I've been trying to wrap my head around the Marlins' 23-21 record all morning because I feel very strongly that the San Francisco Giants should at least win this series.The Marlins do not score a lot (155 runs scored - 28th in MLB).They do not prevent runs (207 runs allowed - 18th in MLB).They do not field very well.

Brandon Crawford got Splash Hit #99 in the final week of April, and afterwards, it prompted Angelina Martin of NBC Sports Bay Area to wonder which of the San Francisco Giants would hit #100.Mike Yastrzemski, Thairo Estrada, Michael Conforto, and Joc Pederson were all asked, and you can click the link to see their answers.

It's 2023 MLB Opening Day and stadiums around the country are serving way more than just strikeouts and home runs.Whether it be a massive, we mean absolutely gigantic sub at LoanDepot Park or a refreshing yet iconic slushie at RingCentral Coliseum, the league and its stadiums are satisfying fans' tastebuds all season long.

Friends, Romans, Giants fans ... lend me your eyes.Because it's time to watch San Francisco Giants baseball.For the first time in 133 days, the Giants are playing a baseball game today.Sure, it's only Spring Training and it means nothing.And yeah, a lot of the players in the game won't be on the Opening Day roster, or perhaps even in the Majors this year, or perhaps even ever.

I've had an article idea that I've put on the back burner for the last few years.With every passing week and month that I don't write the article, it gets harder to write.Which means there's a good chance I'll just be lame and never do it.Here's the idea: ranking every single trade that the San Francisco Giants have made since Farhan Zaidi took over as President of Baseball Operations more than four years ago.

If the Washington Nationals win today, it will feel like a "Sweet 16" as the Nats would complete a tough stretch of 16-games in 16-days with a winning record (9-7), and hop on a very "happy flight" back to Washington, D.C.If only they had Brian Dozier singing Calma on the plane ride, but maybe Victor Robles can do his rendition of the song.

Shortstop CJ Abrams, pictured Monday night, struggled defensively in the Nationals' 4-1 loss to the Giants on Tuesday.(Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images)SAN FRANCISCO - To open Tuesday's game against Washington Nationals' left-hander Patrick Corbin, Austin Slater hit a routine groundball to CJ Abrams.

Jake Irvin lasted into the seventh inning Monday night in San Francisco.(Godofredo A. Vásquez/AP) Comment Gift Article SAN FRANCISCO - With the final out of the fifth inning recorded, Washington Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin smiled after Luis García hauled in a popup and seemed to share a joke with the home plate umpire as he walked back to the dugout.

The San Francisco Giants have won their last two series, both against very good teams.But after a feckless loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday night, the Giants are in danger of dropping a series to a not very good team.But help is on the way.Prior to the game, the Giants made a flurry of moves.

It's time for a new series, and the Washington Nationals are in town to visit the San Francisco Giants.The good news is that the Nationals should be very, very bad.The bad news is that they've been a remarkably pesky team so far this year.Getting the first crack at them is right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani, who has been sensational a year after missing most of the season with an injury.

Time for Game 2 of the home series between the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers.After winning Game 1 by a score of 6-4, the Giants are in position to win their second straight series if they can take this game ... and their second straight series against two very good teams, I might add.A win tonight would also give the Giants a four-game winning streak.

It took me a little bit of study to understand why the Brewers are 18-13 and how that seemingly good and obviously better-than record could be a big problem for the 13-17 San Francisco Giants this weekend.I've settled on this: they are good, but probably not the feeling that accompanies "five games better" than the Giants.

The San Francisco Giants wrap up a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon at Oracle Park.Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today's game with a 4.40 ERA, 4.01 FIP, with four walks to 36 strikeouts in 30.2 innings pitched.His last start was his strongest of the season, in the Giants' 7-4 win over the New York Mets on Saturday.

Happy Tuesday, San Francisco Giants fans.The start of the 2023 MLB season is still two days away, but baseball has already gotten underway doing what it does best: making us feel things.The Giants have 162 games (and hopefully a bit more!) to play this year, but we've already witnessed one of the best moments of the season: Sergio Romo.

In just about 72 hours, the San Francisco Giants will kick off the 2023 season against the New York Yankees.This is the best time of year to be a baseball fan* because everything is perfect, shiny, and new.There are so many possibilities - nothing's set in stone*, and the team can wind up being whichever version you've predicted them to be.

SAN FRANCISCO As a bomb cyclone swept through the Bay Area on Tuesday, an industrial barge broke loose and smashed into the 3rd Street Bridge in San Francisco, authorities said.The collision, which was reported around 4:50 p.m., splintered wooden planks on the span, according to a video and photos shared by the San Francisco Fire Department.

In her State of the City address Thursday, SF Mayor London Breed announced a multipart plan aimed at revitalizing the city's beleaguered, seemingly half-empty downtown, and it involves some Twitter tax-break-style tax breaks."San Francisco downtown as we know it is not coming back, Breed said in her speech, striking a less cheerleader-y note than in the past.

Only one member of the San Francisco Giants mini dynasty remains on the team.With Brandon Belt in Canada and Buster Posey in retirement khakis, Brandon Crawford is the only name you'll see that can be cross-referenced between the Opening Day roster and one of the Baseball-Reference pages for the 2010, 2012, or 2014 Giants.

Good morning, baseball fans!Spring training games began this weekend, and boy has it been nice to sit back and listen San Francisco Giants baseball on the radio once again.And there were definitely some memorable moments: the dingers, the new rules, that amazing play by Casey Schmitt at third base on Saturday.
