Giants turn to Jordan Hicks in rematch vs. Rockies

The San Francisco Giants were scuffling coming into Colorado, but they hope they are starting to turn things around, beginning with a 5-0 win over the Rockies in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday night.

Notes From San Francisco Giants Clubhouse After Kyle Harrison’s Gem

DENVER, Colo. – The San Francisco Giants had a lot of good news coming out of their clubhouse on Tuesday. First, the day began when their team bus did not drop them off at Citizens Bank Park again.

Wednesday BP: Watch Matt Chapman and Matt Williams discuss the hot corner

The pair have worked together in two organizations, and have a great rapport.

Good morning, baseball fans!

Before we watch the San Francisco Giants embark upon another spooky adventure at the haunted house that is Coors Field, I thought we could take a look at a cool video the Giants put out over on YouTube.

In it, Matt Chapman chats with Matt Williams discuss playing the hot corner, and their time working together both with the Giants and across...

Kyle Harrison cares not for your altitude

Or your attitude, probably.

The San Francisco Giants have been at an impasse of sorts. An impasse that made a date with the eight-win Colorado Rockies somehow feel more like a haunted house than an opportunity. Their formula, while not necessarily intentional, has been clear: pitch and defend so damn well that the tiny shred of offense the hitters can provide is enough to win.

That’s how they’ve won their games — almost all their games....

Kyle Harrison vs. Dakota Hudson

The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies tonight at Coors Field.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Kyle Harrison, who enters today’s game with a 3.79 ERA, 3.88 FIP, with 38 strikeouts to 10 walks in 38 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, in which he allowed one run on three hits with seven...

Jung Hoo Lee gets to hit at Coors Field for three games

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

This should be fun. Let’s hope this will be fun. It will be fun... right?

Admittedly, it’s the Peter Lambert matchup that most has me excited to watch Jung Hoo Lee play in Coors Field for the first time in his major league career. That’s the state of the San Francisco Giants: I’m anticipating 9 to 12 plate appearances over the next three days more than anything else.

Sure, the Giants have a very good shot at taking the series, even sweeping the...

Tuesday BP: Injury updates

The latest on Tom Murphy, Patrick Bailey, and Blake Snell.

I come bearing good news, San Francisco Giants fans. No, it’s not about the headline. There isn’t a lot of good injury news, per se. It’s about the fact that the four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies is officially in the rearview mirror. All four games have successfully been lost, and the Giants can hopefully go win some games now.

With that said,...

Rockies seek glimmer of hope in series opener vs. Giants

The Colorado Rockies expected to have growing pains as they rebuild with younger players, but the lessons have been hard. Colorado has just eight victories, has yet to win consecutive games this season and has trailed in all but one of its 34 games.

Mason Black debuts and Giants lose in front of half of northeastern Pennsylvania

A feel-good debut surrounded by on-field nonsense

In his Major League Debut, right-hander Mason Black took the mound at the park he grew up visiting as a kid, facing the team he grew up rooting for, toeing the same rubber as his hero Roy Halladay.

He couldn’t suppress a smirk after throwing his first pitch, recording his first putout on an easy grounder off the bat of Kyle Schwarber as the legion of Black family and friends going beserk in the stands. Against...

Mason Black vs. Zack Wheeler.

After three losses that were three varying levels of disappointing, the San Francisco Giants will look to salvage a win as they finish off their four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Personally, I hope they succeed.

First, some injury news: catcher Tom Murphy will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, Bob Melvin announced. And Blake Snell will throw a bullpen session tomorrow.

It’s an...

Giants off to their worst start since Farhan Zaidi’s first year

Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images

We’ve come a long way, right?

This post was originally titled, “The Giants’ 15-20 start is really funny,” but I’m not above a grabbier headline and, well, it’s factually correct that the San Francisco Giants haven’t started a season 15-20 since 2019, Farhan Zaidi’s first year as President of Baseball Operations. But it’s still funny that the Giants have started this season 15-20.

These are the five worst starts to a season in the...

Monday BP: Mason Black to make MLB debut today

He’s here and he’s perfect.

The San Francisco Giants ran smack dab into the middle of one of the hottest teams in baseball, and so far it’s been a disaster. Not only has it been a disaster, but it’s been fairly boring. But that’s about to change. The boring part, at least. I make no guarantees about the disaster.

Ahead of Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Giants made a series of moves. Right-handed pitcher...

The Giants appear incapable of stealing the show

It became clear during Sunday night’s game that the San Francisco Giants were the Philadelphia Phillies’ foil.

As the flat, sidekick-y minor character used to highlight the dynamic qualities of the other, Logan Webb and the lineup played their part perfectly.

The Phillies stole the show early, so much so ESPN’s national broadcast came off as local television: a Philly love fest, diving into the...

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this road series against the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon with their second national broadcast of the series.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 2.98 ERA, 2.81 FIP, with 30 strikeouts to 10 walks in 42.1 innings pitched. His last start was in Giants’ 4-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, in which he allowed...
