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...

Giants defeated by rain, Phillies; lose 14-3

Everything that could go wrong in today’s game did, and did so early.

The San Francisco Giants got thumped by the Philadelphia Phillies today, losing 14-3.

It was Murphy’s Law in action during today’s game, in that anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and early.

It started with a rain delay, but even after that, the conditions weren’t good for either team, with it raining to the point of fans questioning if it was in anyone’s best interest...

The defense appeared to lose sight of the ball in this one

For all of the San Francisco Giants’ early season woes, the defense has never been anything to gripe about.

Nick Ahmed’s plummeting hitting line has been cushioned by him scampering around the left side of the infield as one of the best shortstops in the game. Jung Hoo Lee’s frustration with his bat pulling home runs juuuusssst foul, or with his liners’ inability to find grass in the gaps...

Weekend BP: Patrick Bailey injury update

Bailey exited Friday’s game after taking a hard-hit foul ball to the face.

Good morning, baseball fans!

Unfortunately it’s not great news this morning. During yesterday’s San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies game, catcher Patrick Bailey got roughed up behind the plate, taking multiple foul ball hits. Most alarmingly was this one, off the bat of hard-hitting Phillies third-baseman Alec Bohm.

Bailey was later removed from the game...

Watch: Jung Hoo Lee’s incredible catch left Giants pitcher in disbelief

San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee impressed everyone Friday with an incredible chase-down catch. His biggest fan was inarguably Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks.

The Miller’s Tale

Photo by Jaiden Tripi/Getty Images

Bullpen arms are volatile. It might not make sense to grab hold of one when it flashes some dazzle. Then again, why not?

Erik Miller has thrown just 264 pitches in his major league career but that’s enough of a sample to pass the eye test. The San Francisco Giants might have a dude. A 6-5 lefty with only 159.1 professional innings coming into his age-26 season averaging 96 mph with a four-seamer and an eye-popping 2,694 rpm slider? That’s value....

Giants-Phillies Series Preview

The pressure is all on Philadelphia, the sport’s best pitching staff. The Giants can be loose and carefree.

You know how I wrote most of these series previews. I come in here with a vague idea, dump a bunch of stats on you, and then end with a poll. I’m not going to do all that this time. I have a very clear idea for this San Francisco Giants-Philadelphia Phillies Series Preview.

Last year’s playoff run got Phillies fans excited not only because...

Friday BP: Mike Yastrzemski appreciation post

Yaz had a day on Thursday on and off the field.

Good morning, baseball fans!

The San Francisco Giants avoided the sweep yesterday against the Boston Red Sox. Naturally, eyes were on Mike Yastrzemski for this series, considering his family ties.

He got things rolling in yesterday’s game with a solo home run that got the Giants on the board in the third inning. But what he did off the field is what one young Giants fan in attendance will remember for...

Swepterrrrrummmmohhhhhtheywon!

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports

It wasn’t convincing, but they found a way.

Avoiding the sweep felt impossible after two cold Spring nights in which the San Francisco Giants’ bats were reduced to sawdust by Boston’s weirdly dominant, nothin’ straight pitching staff led by former coach Andrew Bailey (an “iPad guy” as my buddy Stu in Auburn would say).

Two runs, nine hits with only eight at-bats with runners in scoring position while striking out 18 times—inspiring stuff, and I...
