San Francisco Giants

Ty Blach’s dominant performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday justified Bruce Bochy’s decision to name him the Opening Day starter and keep his pitching schedule on track.

Joe Panik’s solo home run was enough offense for the Giants to best the Dodgers in their Opening Day matchup Thursday afternoon.

Before their Opening-Day matchup with the Dodgers, Bruce Bochy announced on Thursday that Hunter Strickland will be the team’s closer until Mark Melancon returns from the disabled list.

Former Giants pitcher Shawn Estes and former A’s pitcher Mark Mulder joined the latest episode of The Krueg Show Podcast on Thursday, to chat with hosts Larry Krueger and Cody Pasby about the respective outlooks of their former clubs heading into the 2018 season.

Last offseason, the Giants spent $62 million to make Mark Melancon their closer of the future. Unfortunately, his first year in San Francisco could’ve hardly gone worse. Melancon blew five of his 16 save opportunities while dealing with forearm issues, which eventually led to season ending surgery.

The San Francisco Giants officially announced their Opening Day roster on Thursday, ahead of their 2018 opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Probably like most of you, I felt a whole lot different about the 2018 Giants one week ago than I do today.

After the loss of Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale gave Tolbert & Lund his best case scenario for the Giants to remain in contention while their starting pitchers are on the disabled list.

Former Giants third base coach Tim Flannery joined Tolbert & Lund on Wednesday and clarified the decision, which he was consulted on, saying that it has nothing to do with Duggar’s ability, but rather the amount of left handed pitching San Francisco is facing in early season series’ with the Dodgers and Diamondbacks.

Once spring training came to an end, the San Francisco Giants wasted little time revealing their Opening Day roster.
