San Francisco Giants

The Giants have been without Madison Bumgarner all season, after the ace broke the pinkie on his throwing hand during his final tune-up start in spring training. The good news is that Bumgarner is now expected to begin throwing off a mound next week, putting most estimations for his return around early June.

I know, I know. My public stance is ‘Be At .500 on Flag Day’, and I’m sticking to it. The Giants are 19-19 heading to Pittsburgh, and that leaves the Flag Day goal (June 14, for all you who have overlooked the long-forgotten Flag Day on your calendar) intact.

At this point, the Giants are probably just glad the series is over.

The Giants lost their third straight, and it got ugly late.

The San Francisco Giants have a top two pick in the MLB Draft for the first time since 1985. Executive editor of Baseball America JJ Cooper joined the latest episode of The Krueg Show Podcast with Larry Krueger, and broke down the Giants options with the No. 2 overall pick.

On Tuesday, Gary Radnich asked Giants general manager Bobby Evans about Posey’s decline in power over the years. Evans presented two possible theories.

The guy pictured above was pretty good.

In 2015, Matt Harvey was considered one of the best pitchers in the major leagues. Three years later, and Harvey is now reportedly on the trading block after his refusal to be designated for assignment by the New York Mets.

Finally, some good news for the Giants on the injury front.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was put on the 10-day disabled list with left biceps tendinitis.
