San Francisco Giants News

Clayton Kershaw, Chris Sale and Max Scherzer are incredible pitchers, and with each passing season, those three players continue to build Hall of Fame resumes. But if it’s Game 7 of the World Series and you have your choice of a horse to ride, San Francisco fans are taking the pitcher who looks like he grew up raising actual horses.

In the first half of the season, the San Francisco Giants were down and out. When they started the second half on Friday night in San Diego, they went down and starter Johnny Cueto came out.

Friday night’s outing in San Diego was supposed to offer San Francisco Giants’ right-hander Johnny Cueto a fresh start.

After posting a 34-56 record through their first 90 games, the San Francisco Giants aren’t going to define success in the second half of the season in wins and losses. Except when it comes to how they stack up against the San Diego Padres.

After sending outfielder Mac Williamson back to AAA Sacramento earlier this week, the Giants filled their open roster spot by activating third baseman Eduardo Nunez ahead of the team’s three-game series in San Diego.

Johnny Cueto’s first half didn’t go as expected. For the Giants sake, his second half needs to be far better.

For a roster loaded with players who have contributed to the Giants’ championship culture, the second half of the year will feature what could ultimately feel like an interminable stretch of meaningless baseball.

The Red Sox cut Pablo Sandoval on Friday after their $95 million deal failed to pan out.

After the most underwhelming first half of the season in franchise history, San Francisco Giants’ general manager Bobby Evans could have used the All-Star break to celebrate the Giants’ shining star. Catcher Buster Posey was named to his fifth All-Star game this season, and the face of the Giants’ hit cleanup for the National League in Tuesday evening’s contest in Miami. While Posey brought his family along with him, Evans didn’t follow his catcher to Miami, and instead stayed in San Francisco to focus on preparing for Major League Baseball’s trade deadline.

Fan discussions about the Giants are tough ones currently. Sometimes the reality can be a little tougher to take.
