Photo by Loren Elliott/MLB Photos via Getty Images We’re a month into the season, how are you feeling, Giants fans? Good morning, baseball fans! We are officially one month into the San Francisco Giants season, and with today being a rare homestead off day, I thought it would be a good time for us to do a temp check into how everyone is feeling about the 2024 season so far. For me, it’s still early enough in the season that I’m not going to freak out over anything. But with a month of games under their belt, the team is sitting two games under .500 and in fourth place in the National League We ..read more

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images The Giants failed to set the tone early in the series finale against Sean Manaea and the Mets After taking the first two games of the series against the Mets, the San Francisco Giants had the opportunity to claim not only their first series sweep, but their first 3-game winning streak of the 2024 season. The good times appeared primed to roll with a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 2nd against a clean-shaven and shorn Sean Manaea. Back in his old stomping grounds, the southpaw seemed eager to treat the club to a late-lunch, setting the table for them with t ..read more

All four of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates were in action on Tuesday, with a whole bunch of notable performances to track. Here’s the action down on the farm. Link to the 2024 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions are the positions played in that game. News This was where I was supposed to write that RHP Landen Roupp (No. 18 CPL) had been optioned to make room for RHP Mitch White. But before I finished writing this article, Roupp had been recalled to replac ..read more

Photo by Andy Kuno/San Francisco Giants/Getty Images It’s... not what you want. Well, this is... suboptimal. Alex Pavlovic reports that the San Francisco Giants have placed Blake Snell on the IL (retroactive to yesterday) with a “left adductor strain.” The team has invested a lot of money for a big performance in a short period of time from the reigning NL Cy Young, and so far, it hasn’t worked out. And yet, it’s going about as well as could be expected. This is the exact same injury that landed Snell on the IL in April 2022 and was a follow-up to the exact same injury that sent him to the IL ..read more

The San Francisco Giants have had many beloved former players that have gone from on the field to behind the cameras, and last night their ranks grew yet again. Former reliever and class clown, Sergio Romo, joined NBC Sports Bay Area as an analyst for their pre and post game shows. Romo was with the team for nine seasons, and will perhaps be most fondly remembered for being on the mound for the final out of the 2012 World Seri ..read more

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Webb is good, and so is scoring. Whoever first decided that baseball games, known for their slowly-unfolding narratives and leisurely turns, should instead operate quickly, would have been been beside themselves watching the start of Tuesday night’s MLB game between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. If you’re one of those sweet folks who realizes at 6:46 p.m. that the game started at 6:45, and then grabs a beer before turning on the TV, you likely missed the top half of the first inning, when Logan Webb set down the side on just eight pitches. You migh ..read more

Photo by Andy Kuno/San Francisco Giants/Getty Images The front office is sticking with experience in the early going. The San Francisco Giants need a long man who can go long now and so it seemed like that put Landen Roupp or Sean Hjelle on the shuttle back to Triple-A Sacramento today ahead of the team making room for the recently acquired Mitch White. Maria Guardado reports on Twitter that it’s Roupp getting the call: The Giants activated Mitch White and optioned Landen Roupp to Triple-A Sacramento. — Maria I. Guardado (@mi_guardado) April 23, 2024 Roupp’s last appearances was in the blow ..read more

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Churn season. We knew the San Francisco Giants would make a move today, and now we know the full details. A few hours before their second game of a three-game home series against the New York Mets, the Giants activated right-handed pitcher Mitch White, and optioned fellow right-handed pitcher Landen Roupp to AAA Sacramento. The Giants added White over the weekend, trading cash to the Toronto Blue Jays for the recently-designated for assignment reliever. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Giants moved right-handed pitcher Alex Cobb to the 60-Day Injure ..read more

Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images Which means someone is leaving. A few days ago, with news that Alex Cobb would be moved to the 60-Day Injured List while he works his way through a few rehab setbacks, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants traded some sweet cash money to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitcher Mitch White, who had been designated for assignment. I recommend reading Bryan’s analysis on White, but the TL;DR is this: White was once a top prospect with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who drafted him when Farhan Zaidi was working for them. White struggled quite a bit wit ..read more

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images *Offer not valid in the 9th inning. Monday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets started out in ... well ... fashion. Let’s call it fashion. That’s what I wrote in my notes: just “fashion.” Had the Giants lost, it would have been “ominous fashion.” Had the Giants won — a silly thing to pose as a hypothetical, seeing as how they did, in fact, win — it seemed likely to be “encouraging fashion.” Now that we know that the Giants emerged victorious, by a score of 5-2, we can slap the “encouraging” label on there, right in front of the ..read more
