San Francisco Giants News

Posey is starting at catcher for the National League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game for the fourth time (his fifth appearance in the midsummer classic overall) and currently boasts the fourth highest batting average in the NL, .324, midway through the season.

After a nightmarish start to the 2017 season, the San Francisco Giants will exit the All-Star break with some good news. Madison Bumgarner is coming back.

Christian Arroyo tweeted that he had successful surgery on Monday. The Giants’ third baseman broke his hand after getting hit by a pitch playing down for the Sacramento River Cats

Ex-Giants ace Livan Hernandez has filed for bankruptcy in South Florida federal court, as first reported by the Miami Herald on Monday.

On Saturday afternoon, Giants’ manager Bruce Bochy said he hoped to give outfielder Mac Williamson an extended look in left field during the second half of July. After rookie left fielder Austin Slater tore the adductor muscle in his right hip, it made sense that the Giants would want to give Williamson more at-bats, especially considering San Francisco has struggled to find a consistent left fielder this year.

Murph and Mac are back again to talk Giants baseball and the future of the franchise. With the Giants still sitting last in their division it may be time to start thinking about rebuilding the lineup.

Buster Posey, one of the few Giants pulling his weight this season, was named as the National League’s starting catcher last weekend for the 2017 MLB All-Star Game. On Monday Posey was shown even more respect, with the announcement that manager Joe Maddon will bat him cleanup in the NL’s murderers row of hitters.

Mike Krukow joined Murph and Mac Monday, where he correlated the Giants mentality towards AT&T with the 1986 Giants attitude towards Candlestick.

As the Giants finally take a deep breath and allow themselves to regroup after a devastating first half of the season, nearly every player on the team will use the All-Star break to relax and reflect. That isn’t the case for Madison Bumgarner, though.

In 23 seasons as a Major League manager, Giants’ skipper Bruce Bochy has endured 10 losing seasons. There’s no question that thanks to three World Series titles, Bochy will one day enter baseball’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. But there’s also no question that during his time in the dugout, he’s seen it all.
