By Jack Loder The Giants have been in the national spotlight for much of the last week, just not for the reasons the team and its front office would prefer. You know all the details by now, but regardless of where you stand on the controversy, you probably felt that it would have blown over by now. JT Brubaker certainl...

By Jack Loder The MLB trade deadline is still six weeks away, but the Giants are becoming trendy potential sellers already. A terribly underwhelming first half has pundits publicly showcasing the Giants' trade eligible veterans. Behind the scenes, the reservoir of contending teams, ballooned by Rob Manfred's insistence...

By Jack Loder Hope is a powerful thing. As the Giants jubilantly bounced around home plate on Wednesday afternoon, no one particularly cared that their record had only just ticked up to 28-41. The ~25,000 odd fans who had remained at the ballpark despite a 9-1 eighth inning deficit, for a moment paid no matter to the ...

By Jack Loder It's June 3 and your San Francisco Giants are 15, yes FIFTEEN games under .500. They've played 61 games under rookie manager Tony Vitello, and have won just 23 of them. The Giants, with their healthy pay roll, are in dead last in the National League. It feels like a nightmare, but the standings, and its r...

By Jack Loder Third base coach isn't an easy job. Signs, situations, and most importantly, directing traffic on the bases make up a short list of the duties Hector Borg tends to when the Giants bat. All too often during a torturous two months of Giants baseball, however, Borg has made headlines for run-costing blunders...

By Jack Loder There are countless reasons that the Giants are 10 games under .500 at the ⅓ mark of the season. To name a few, the club has suffered from lackluster starting pitching, a bad bullpen, and an offense that has, aside from a couple of fruitful weeks, vastly underperformed. An underrated culprit has been th...

KNBR Staff For a 20-27 team, the Giants sure have a lot of traffic jams on the roster. They called up Bryce Eldridge, and now somehow can't seem to find him a spot in the starting lineup even half the time. Logan Webb went down with a knee injury, and Trevor McDonald stepped in and has been excellent. This crowded ros...

As this Jock Blog is being scribbled on Wednesday afternoon, May 13, 2026, the Giants are 18-24 and that dog don't hunt, sports fans. However! Intrigue remains supreme around the local nine. Buster Posey's reign as president of baseball operations has fans both dying to see the hometown hero succeed, and dying as his t...

By Jack Loder The first quarter of the 2026 Giants' season flew by. It doesn't seem like all that long ago people were lecturing me about how early it is, and that we shouldn't be troubled by April trends. Now it's mid-May, a quarter of the marathon is in the rearview. And things have not gone particularly well for you...

By Jack Loder It's bad enough to live in the moment with the 2026 San Francisco Giants. The product this team is putting on the field on a daily basis sufficiently triggers your daily allotment of angst and frustration. But when zoomed out, the reality actually becomes even scarier. The very players whom the organizati...
