Even those who waited to see it to believe it can sit back and soak it all in now. Rafael Devers is a San Francisco Giant. The Giants made the deal formally official on Tuesday afternoon at Oracle Park, introducing Devers at a very well attended press conference in a cushy club level setup before […]

It’s been over 24 hours since the Giants made an enormous splash by trading for Red Sox star infielder Rafael Devers. In doing so they transformed their underachieving lineup to complement what has been one of the league’s most elite pitching staffs.  Subsequently, it was a very busy Monday on The Sports Leader covering the […]

If you thought Buster Posey was sitting back and having a relaxing Father’s Day ahead of the Giants Sunday Night showdown with the Dodgers, you’d be sorely mistaken. Like, incredibly mistaken. Posey and the Giants sent shockwaves through the MLB world on Sunday, acquiring superstar Red Sox infielder Rafael Devers in a blockbuster trade that […]

We’re on to Cincinnati.  Or, Dodger Stadium. You know what I mean. I’m not going to bludgeon the Giants for blowing a 7-2 lead Thursday afternoon and losing, in embarrassing fashion, to the lowly Rockies. (Fun fact: 15.3% of Colorado’s win total this year is against Buster Posey’s Giants. I digress.) The Gigantes are coming […]

Dominic Smith doesn’t yet know what it’s like to lose a game in orange and black. The newest Giant, along with speedy outfielder Daniel Johnson, is a perfect 6-0 in his first week with the team.

I was reading this great dude who I like to read, and he was writing last week about the Giants and getting swept in Detroit and how cold the bats were and this guy wrote the following on May 29: “But the question remains: how will Posey react to the first losing stretch of his […]

It’s amazing what a little roster shake up and about 30 hours can do for a team. The Giants limped into Wednesday night’s third game of a four game set with the Padres licking their wounds. Especially up and down the lineup. But Tuesday turned to Wednesday, and with it came reprieve. San Francisco stacked […]

Where were you the last time the San Francisco Giants scored more than four runs in a single game? If you don’t remember, that’s understandable. It’s been a while. 17 days to be exact. The last time the Giants broke through for five or more runs was the Friday night series opener against the A’s, […]

These are the times that try Buster Posey’s soul. Well, maybe that’s a tad dramatic for late May baseball. But you gotta grab a reader in the Jock Blog, lest he or she doom scroll somewhere else. Today’s focus is the task facing the new Giants president of baseball operations. He rode a wave of […]
