I kept feeling it in my gut since Wednesday morning: Rockets in seven. I couldn’t shake the memory of April 6 at Chase Center, when everything seemed to change. The Rockets were no longer the Warriors’ personal toy. Amen Thompson and a pack of hungry wolves harassed the incomparable Steph Curry and held him to […]

When the Giants left San Francisco last week with a 9-3 record, most fans probably would have signed up for a .500 road trip with visits to the Yankees, Phillies and Angels. Through five games, the Giants are 3-2, and despite a loss on Tuesday, they’re playing some of their best ball of the season.  […]

The sun didn’t shine once all weekend long in the Bronx, New York. Three straight days of gloomy, wet, grey spring days greeted the Giants at Yankee Stadium. But the 11-5 ballclub didn’t let the weather bring them down as they wrestled two of three from the defending American League champions, claiming their fourth of […]

Giants fans didn’t boo the team as it trudged off the field after a miserable top of the third inning that saw the Reds plate four runs to extend their lead to 5-0. But they probably could have. At that moment, the Giants hadn’t scored a run in 20 innings, and were staring down the […]

When Willy Adames was introduced at Oracle Park in December after signing the biggest free agent deal in the history of the Giants franchise, he couldn’t contain his excitement to play at this yard in front of these fans.

It wasn’t dominant, it wasn’t always pretty, but the Giants did just that in Cincinnati to begin a highly anticipated 2025 campaign, taking two of three from the Reds to begin the season 2-1.  Here […]

Two years ago, the Jock Blog penned an Opening Day missive and we led with this line: “Call it the Matt Beaty Moment.” Two years later, the Jock Blog pens an Opening Day missive and we will lead with this line: “Call it the Buster Posey Era opening moment.” A 2025 Giants roster with no […]

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 […]

And now, a word about the forgotten Golden State Warrior. Hello again, Draymond Green. In the past six weeks, the Jock Blog has penned two odes to Steph Curry and two more to Jimmy Butler.  In the spirit of today’s “2000s Friday” on the morning show . . . did I forget about Dray? I […]
