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…

Giants Bulletin: Pitching keeping SF afloat as seriously concerning slumps at the plate trudge on
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…

Your 2025 San Francisco Giants simply hate losing series. That’s a quality you want your favorite baseball team to have. The Giants have played 12 series so far in six weeks of play, they’ve only dropped three. Two sweeps, five series wins, one split four game set, and three losses. For the first time since…

When Willy Adames dug into the box in the bottom of the first on Sunday afternoon, he still hadn’t hit a home run in front of 40,000+ adoring Giants fans. His lack of power has been a talking point through his first month in orange and black, but Sunday’s performance will put that on the…

Jock Blog: How much concern caused by first real bummer of Posey era?
Let’s hope this Jock Blog is more of a “Blip on the Radar” Blog, one that ages poorly, , like most of my takes, and we can call delete from our phones in short order. OK, here goes: this three-game Giants losing skid has my brow furrowed. Is this little 72-hour bummer — swept in…

If there’s a day game being played at Oracle Park this year, it looks like there’s a pretty good chance the Giants are going to walk it off. San Francisco is a perfect 6-0 in the afternoon at 3rd & King. Five of those six wins came in walk-off fashion, with a pair of bottom…
