The score reflects some real issues. Winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Compounding things, down 9 in run differential this week. That's significant.

Giants News

The San Francisco Giants' recent struggles continued as they faced another humbling defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing 10-4 and sealing their fate for a third consecutive series loss. In a season marked by frustration, the emergence of 23-year-old lefty Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson was a rare bright spot, he dazzled with five scoreless innings and a career-high six strikeouts, showcasing what could be a glimmer of hope for a team mired in mediocrity. Meanwhile, the emotional weight of the season deepened as beloved broadcaster Duane Kuiper revealed his throat cancer diagnosis, which adds a poignant backdrop to Mike Krukow's impending retirement. As the Giants sit at a dismal 64-91, the focus shifts not just to a lost season but to the future, with Jackson Flora projected to start 2027 in Double-A, a reminder that rebuilding takes time.

Believe it or not, the Giants led for the majority of Sunday’s finale against the Dodgers. In this feebled state, dragging our way to the finish line, that feels like a kind-a, sort-a win. Granted, it was 1-0 lead, which is not a lead that typically soothes or ensures. In LA, against that Dodger line-up, […]
