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. It’s not binary cause and effect of course. Smith hasn’t been superhuman, but he’s provided stability at first base […]

When Buster Posey said “it’s time to go,” the Giants listened. It feels like longer than five days ago that the Giants’ legend and current President of Baseball Operations uttered the casual call to action. Since then, his team is undefeated, ripping off five straight wins to put a bow on a nice homestand that […]

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 […]

If you asked Giants fans back in Spring Training if they would have taken a 31-23 record through the first ⅓ of the season, most would have gladly taken that. So why, as the G-men hit that exact mark at 54 games in, do many carry a less than enthused outlook regarding the ceiling of […]

I’m a Brock Purdy fan. His story is undeniable, from 262 to leading the Super Bowl in overtime. He’s polite, professional, gritty. His biggest material want in this crass market economy is a bass fishing boat. His new contract is that most elusive of things in today’s hot take world: reasonable. So how is a […]
