Giants do be winning
Giants home run tracker: Patrick Bailey (3) 🫡 2-run 💣 off Jaden Hill Giants lead 7-4 in the 8th 🥰
PATRICK BAILEY DINGER SZN!!!!
Per Statcast, Casey Schmitt would have a 3-homer day in 14 different parks today
Logan Webb K counter: 7
Logan Webb K counter: 6
Logan Webb K counter: 5
Logan Webb K counter: 3
Dave Flemming has, justifiably, had it with these umps
Ezequiel Tovar breaks up Logan Webb's perfect game with a 1-out single in the 2nd inning
there's nothing mocking about enjoying a home run, unless you're fragile enough to be offended by fun.
Logan Webb K counter: 2
lmao okay fun police, don't you have some kids to yell at for enjoying their lives
insanely drunk baseball game
😭
Rafael Devers passed his first test at third base
Logan Webb K counter: 1
I hope they run it backwards!
yeah, I forgot about the whole giving up the DH thing, my bad!
RAFAEL DEVERS IS PLAYING THIRD BASE FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 😭😭😭
So all you have to do is get mad at an opposing team's hitters and then they'll have to leave the game??
So presumably Koss will move from 2B to short, Flores will move from DH to 3B, and injured Casey Schmitt will enter the game at 2B
How the Giants get more players ejected than the Rockies for that is completely beyond me. What the actual hell is that
Willy Adames and Matt Chapman both got ejected and the only backup infielder the Giants have is an injured Casey Schmitt. Uhhhhh
What a wild start to the ballgame
strong agree
ANYWAY.... Giants home run tracker: Rafael Devers (30) 🫡 2-run 💣 off Kyle Freeland Giants lead 2-0 just 2 hitters into the game
I have zero respect for a pitcher when they allow a home run and then get mad at the hitter for it
If you're mad at people for hitting home runs off of you I don't think that yelling at them is exactly going to solve it
Well, I don't think this counts, but Rafael Devers has hit 30 home runs and also there's a giant it in the middle of the field with punches being thrown what the hell just happened
RAFAEL DEVERS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heliot Ramos breaks up Kyle Freeland's perfect game with a leadoff single in the 1st inning
oh hey cool baseball
Some pre-game reading: a very fun holiday weekend on the farm www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
hell yeah www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
Thank You For Saving My Life I'm Literally Just edition:
I’m sorry, Marco Luciano hit a WHAT??!!!? A 508-foot home run…????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAA Sacramento had 31 baserunners and 21 runs yesterday, and also Bryce Eldridge hit a baseball 470 feet www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
Logan Webb finished August with 32 strikeouts and 3 walks
Jung Hoo Lee is on the verge of history, per @bryanmurphy.bsky.social www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
The Giants are cooking, and now they welcome the Orioles into town. Here's the preview, courtesy of @bryanmurphy.bsky.social www.mccoveychronicles.com/series-previ...
Giants organizational home run tracker, August 28: San Francisco: Willy Adames x2 (24) AAA Sacramento: Bryce Eldridge (23) Grant McCray (15) Thomas Gavello x2 (13) Brett Wisely (8) Tyler Fitzgerald (7) AA Richmond: Sabin Ceballos (6) High-A Eugene: Charlie Szykowny (20) Low-A San Jose None
Not sure if this counts, but Chapman and Wade both homered twice in the same game in late September of last year. Thairo and Joc did the same in June 2023. Back-to-back days appears to be Longo and Joc in May 2022.
oh that's a great question let me see if I can figure it out
WALK-OFF!! VICTORY!!! SWEEP!!!!
Walk-off time
Giants home run tracker: Willy Adames (24) 🫡 Solo 💣 off Shōta Imanaga 3-3 tie in the 6th inning! 😛
Willy Adames has done it again!! His second home run ties the game!
A lot of credit to Buster Posey and the front office. They were confident that Willy Adames' defensive struggles last year weren't here to stay, and my goodness they were right
Strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play with an absolutely sensational tag by Willy Adames
Giants home run tracker: Willy Adames (23) 🫡 2-run 💣 off Shōta Imanaga Giants lead 2-1 in the 1st 🤠
Rafael Devers breaks up Shōta Imanaga's perfect game with a 1-out walk in the 1st inning, and Willy Adames breaks up Shōta Imanaga's no-hitter with a 1-out home run in the 1st inning
Cubs strike first with a ground ball double and a seeing-eye single. 1-0 Chicago in the 1st.
Kyle Tucker breaks up Logan Webb's perfect game with a 1-out double in the 1st inning
A little pre-game reading for you www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
Personally, I'm having fun www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...
3-4 with a homer, a double, and a walk!
Giants organizational home run tracker, August 27: San Francisco: Rafael Devers x2 (27) Matt Chapman (18) Heliot Ramos (16) AAA Sacramento: Marco Luciano (22) Jesus Rodriguez (6) Sam Huff (4) AA Richmond: None High-A Eugene: Nate Furman (4) Low-A San Jose: None
This is art #SFGiants
those people are stupid and should be shamed!!!
I'm exceedingly ready to be hurt again
I’m fully aware that the Giants are more capable than any team of making this next statement look stupid, but: next season is going to be so good, I just know it
fair point!
In his 134th game of the season, Rafael Devers raised his batting average by 6 points, his on-base percentage by 5 points, his slugging percentage by 19 points, and his wRC+ by 6 points.
I am not against position players pitching, but I do think that when it happens, you should not go easy on them. Make them earn their outs. The Giants hitters understood that, though unfortunately the ump did not.
Giants win 12-3. It may be too little far too late, but they are COOKING
Giants home run tracker: Heliot Ramos (16) 🫡 Solo 💣 off the Cubs' backup catcher Giants lead 12-3 in the 8th 😂
Heliot Ramos just homered on a 38-mph pitch. I love baseball.
The San Francisco Giants are the best team in baseball over the last five days
Giants home run tracker: Matt Chapman (18) 🫡 Solo 💣 off Jordan Wicks Giants lead 11-3 in the 7th 😍 this is fun!
Giants home run tracker: Rafael Devers (27) 🫡 3-run oppo-🌮 off Taylor Rogers Giants lead 10-3 in the 6th 🙂
RAFY DEVERS DOUBLE DINGER DAY!
Too much talk about Heliot Ramos fixing his defense next year, not enough talk about Heliot Ramos taking the "Hit Me!" post-it sticker off his jersey next season.
I don't think the playoffs are the main goal anymore. Being good in 2026 is the main goal and if they make a run along the way, then that's awesome
Wow it feels nice to be on the good end of some nonsense for a change. Giants lead 6-3 on a 2-out bloop and the relay ricocheting off of Matt Chapman's head
You see plays like the one Willy Adames just made and you realize why some pitchers perform better in the Majors than in the Minors lol
Camera crew working overtime to keep Whisenhunt's chew from making a public appearance
Willy Adames has so much defensive creativity
Ramos' future is in LF, so he needs reps to try and iron out the wrinkles. No need to prioritize reps for people who won't be on the team next year. Also, save for 1 inning this year, Smith hasn't played the outfield since 2021.
Absolutely outrageous double play turned by Willy Adames to bail Whisenhunt out of another bases loaded jam. Holy crap.
Willi Castro doing a mighty fine Heliot Ramos impression out there in left field
Really nice bounce back from Carson Whisenhunt after those tough first two innings. Sets the side down in order in the third and fourth.
lmao, that was good
Giants take the lead on back-to-back sac flies! Meanwhile, Marco Luciano just annihilated another baseball in Reno.
Tied game!
Good news: Rafael Devers hit a double to triple's alley with two runners on Bad news: Ground rule double, so only one run scored Still, Giants have runners at 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs
Carson Whisenhunt K counter: 3
Through 20.1 innings, Carson Whisenhunt has walked 10 batters and allowed 6 home runs. Tremendous talent, but two sizable holes in his game presently.
Nico Hoerner just obliterated a Carson Whisenhunt sinker. Cubs take a 3-1 lead.
Rafael Devers ties Joey Bart, Melky Cabrera, Rob Deer, Al Gallagher, Ron Hunt, A.J. Pierzynski, Freddy Sanchez, and Omar Vizquel for 163rd most home runs in San Francisco Giants history (11 HR) #SFGiants
Whoo buddy, Kruk has had it with Ramos' defense
Giants home run tracker: Rafael Devers (26) 🫡 Solo 💣 off Colin Rea Giants lead 1-0 in the 1st 🤩
Rafael Devers breaks up Colin Rea's perfect game with a 1-out home run in the 1st inning
RAFAEL DEVERS THAT BASEBALL HAD A FAMILY DUDE
Interesting. I feel like many other switch-hitters have kind of said the opposite.
A little Houdini magic for Whisenhunt to get out of the first inning. Dude has poise.
Carson Whisenhunt K counter: 1
Nico Hoerner breaks up Carson Whisenhunt's perfect game with a leadoff single in the 1st inning
