Kyle Harrison vs. Kyle Freeman

The San Francisco Giants begin a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies tonight at Oracle Park.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Kyle Harrison, who enters today’s game with a 3.86 ERA, 4.09 FIP, with 79 strikeouts to 31 walks in 91 innings pitched.

But a notable name is missing.

The San Francisco Giants made yet another roster move on Friday, before starting their four-game series against the Colorado Rockies — a critical series that will take them to the MLB Trade Deadline.

San Francisco placed struggling second baseman Thairo Estrada on the 10-Day Injured List with a sprained left wrist. Estrada has been banged up quite a bit this year — this is his second IL...

Series Preview: The Giants and Rockies have identical records over their last 30 games

Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images

Which team has given up the most?

Over their last 30 games, both the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies have won 13 and lost 17. The only real difference is that the Rockies won 10 of those at home while the Giants won 8 at home. Well, okay, the other big difference is that the Rockies pitching has been much worse (5.27 ERA vs. 4.45) because Colorado’s pitching is always bad. Does that give the Giants the advantage in this 4-game series?...

Friday BP: Buy or sell?

The oft-asked question.

Yes, we’re once again asking the question. Yes, there’s once again no clear answer. Should the San Francisco Giants be buyers or sellers at the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline?

Here are a few reasons why they should be sellers:

They’re currently 5.5 games out of a postseason spot, with many teams between them and said spot. They’re playing remarkably uninspired and flat-out bad baseball and it’s getting...

The Giants being sellers would turn out okay

It’s not the way most of us wanted the season to turn out, but it would help the team in the future, obviously.

With rumors flying that the San Francisco Giants have made some players available in trade, it’s probably a signal that the team doesn’t have the same rose colored view of the overwhelming odds against them as a lot of their most ardent fans. That’s okay. The Giants selling at this year’s trade deadline would...

SF Giants Ace Recent Surge Ignites Trade Buzz

Finally healthy and returning to his Cy Young-winning form, San Francisco Giants ace Blake Snell might be pitching his way into a midseason trade. When the Giants signed Blake Snell to a two-year, $62 million contract days before Opening Day, the left-hander was expected to become an ace for the rotation.

Giants receiving trade interest in two-time Cy Young winner

The San Francisco Giants made a late free-agent splash in signing Blake Snell. Could they jettison him at the trade deadline?

Report: Giants open to trading former Cy Young winner

His season has been beset by injuries, and it has not been a perfect marriage so far. He has looked much more like himself since returning from his most recent injury, however, and has allowed just two runs and six hits in his last 18 innings of work.

Ahmed gets the last laugh

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

The Giants were beat by the guys you kinda expect to be beat by because of how unexpected being beat by them would be.

It was gonna be one or the other: Austin Barnes or Nick Ahmed. The number 8 hitter or the number 9. The back-up catcher or the back-up shortstop recently plucked from the scrap heap.

It’s never the ones you expect to do the damage against Tyler Rogers. You got to be a pesky hitter, you got to choke up, throw the barrel out and lunge. Both...

Logan Webb vs. Clayton Kershaw

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this afternoon from Dodger Stadium.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 3.59 ERA, 2.92 FIP, with 111 strikeouts to 32 walks in a league-leading 130.1 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, in which he allowed...

The most valuable position player (right now)

It’s time to talk about the most 2024 player they have on the roster right now.

What’s not to like about Tyler Fitzgerald? His combination of power and speed is basically unique within the organization. If the San Francisco Giants are going to make a push to reach El Dorado the 3rd Wild Card, he’s going to need to play virtually everyday.

I had planned to write about him before the team’s last winning hiccup (when they won home series...

Thursday BP: Well, at least now we see the blueprint

We can see the vision.

The San Francisco Giants aren’t anywhere near where they want to be, and one fun victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers (BEAT LA!) doesn’t change that. They’re still five games below .500. They’re still behind quite a few teams in the postseason race. They’re still in need of a win today just to salvage a 3-4 road trip.

But you can see the vision. Robbie Ray made his return to the mound on Wednesday and...
