San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants are your 2025 Cactus League champions. I’ll pause while you hug a loved one, pop champagne, and make plans to populate Market Street for a parade in a few days. Sarcasm aside, the title means next to nothing. Individual performances should be evaluated much more closely than those of teams during […]

Eight days, Giants fans. Eight days are all that stand between you and watching your beloved ball club play real, meaningful baseball games again. On Thursday March 27, the Giants open the 2025 campaign and the Buster Posey era in Cincinnati against the Reds. As the Cactus League, and the Giants at least eyebrow-raising dominance […]

Just like that, the Giants season opener in Cincinnati is just two weeks away. The Giants are about 70% of the way through their Cactus League slate, and if the win loss record is indicative of anything that will happen this season (it’s not) then Giants fans should be pretty excited. The G-men sit atop […]

For those of us counting down to Opening Day by marking our calendars with a big red X each morning, Thursday will mark three weeks until the Giants season opener in Cincinnati on March 27. Slowly but surely, the orange and black are getting their feet wet in the cactus league spring sun. SF has […]

As the calendar turns to March, the Scottsdale Giants are well into their Cactus League slate. Position battles, auditions of young layers, and last gasps at big league residency for proven minor leaguers are well underway.  One of the premiere headlines of the Spring has been the return of Jung Hoo Lee, who missed the […]

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Say hello to a Jock Blog being scribbled in the Scottsdale Stadium press box, endless blue sky in front of me, thrill of the grass underfoot. How can you not be romantic about The Giants Way, after all? That’s today’s topic, ball fans: Just what IS The Giants Way? All right, all […]

Spring Training officially started just about a week ago when pitchers and catchers reported to Scottsdale Stadium. But the unofficial starting gun went off on Thursday when Murph and Markus descended upon Old Town for their annual February pilgrimage to Giants camp.  The Giants don’t have any opponents other than themselves yet. But the excitement […]

If you’re a sucker for romantic baseball content, late February is probably high on your list of best times of the year. It’s not the Fourth of July, or the depths of October, of course. But something about those first few days of spring training is nostalgic. Even for fan bases with little to no […]

Last off-season, a handful of big name free agents remained unsigned well into February and even into the first few days of March. Even as teams competed in Spring Training games, some of the game’s hottest winter prizes were homeless. One of which was Blake Snell, who infamously missed all of spring training and subsequently […]
