Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants may have just played their game of the year. Down eight runs and staring at another crushing loss, the Giants stormed all the way back for an unforgettable comeback victory. It was the type of win that forces everyone to ask the same question: is this the moment that changes a season?

We break down the comeback, Matt Chapman's recent surge at the plate, and why the timing of the upcoming day off may actually be frustrating after the club finally built some momentum. The Giants have spent months searching for something positive...

Bryce Eldridge has officially arrived for the San Francisco Giants after he became the youngest player in MLB history to launch a walk-off grand slam today, leading the San Francisco Giants to an 11-10 win over the Washington Nationals. The comeback win for the San Francisco Giants was their first of the season when trailing after the sixth inning, which made the big moment even more memorable. Matt Chapman's resurgence continued today as well, as he hit two homers of his own, and Rafael Devers hit one as well. Even the San Francisco Giants' horrendous bullpen couldn't ruin the...

The San Francisco Giants lost again, but for once the most interesting story wasn't the final score. Bryce Eldridge continues to look like a player opposing teams already respect, consistently being pitched to like a middle-of-the-order threat despite having only recently arrived in the big leagues. Meanwhile, Jung Hoo Lee is putting together one of the best stretches of his career, extending his hitting streak to 17 games while climbing near the top of the National League batting race.

We break down Lee's historic run, why he looks increasingly likely to earn an All-Star selection, and what his...

The San Francisco Giants continue to flat-out stink as they couldn't find the big hit on offense yet again in a 6-3 loss to the Washington Nationals. They were able to load the bases in three separate innings, but only scored in one of the opportunities. Collectively, the San Francisco Giants were 3-12 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base. The pitching was not much better, as Adrian Houser gave up three runs in just 4.1 innings, and the bullpen gave up three more in their collective 4.2 innings of work. Special guest Dieter Kurtenbach joins the show.<...

The San Francisco Giants did it again. Another blown game, another wasted opportunity, and this time it came after a vintage performance from Logan Webb. The Giants' ace delivered exactly what his team needed, but the offense and bullpen couldn't finish the job, raising even more questions about a club that continues to lose close games.

We break down Webb's dominant outing, the moments that changed the game, and why the Giants' margin for error feels almost nonexistent right now. When your best pitcher takes the mound, those are games you simply have to win.

...

The San Francisco Giants continue to find new ways to lose as they fell tonight to the Washington Nationals after Keaton Winn gave up a two-run lead in the ninth inning. The loss carries extra sting after Logan Webb tossed eight innings of one-run ball and struck out seven batters. While the team had a solid 13 hits tonight, they were lackluster in clutch moments, collectively going just 2-12 in at-bats with runners in scoring position. On the bright side, Jung Hoo Lee extended his MLB-leading 16-game hit streak with another multi-hit performance tonight.

The San Francisco Giants just took a series from the Chicago Cubs, and for the first time in a while, they looked like the better team throughout all three games. After weeks of searching for answers, are the Giants finally starting to find something, or is this simply a brief bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season?

We break down what looked different against the Cubs, why the offense showed signs of life, and whether this stretch can actually carry over into the weeks ahead. There are still concerns, particularly in the bullpen, but the Giants finally...

What is the future of Logan Webb with the San Francisco Giants? As the trade deadline approaches and the Giants continue searching for answers, one uncomfortable question is beginning to surface more often: what does the next competitive Giants team actually look like, and where does Webb fit into that timeline?

We break down the latest reporting surrounding Webb's future, why rival executives continue to monitor the Giants' situation closely, and what Jeff Passan had to say about San Francisco's position as the trade deadline slowly approaches. The Giants aren't at a decision point yet, but the...

The San Francisco Giants escaped American Family Field with a series split after a 20-hit explosion powered them over the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-9. The runs came in bunches today, as the San Francisco Giants did all of their damage across just three innings. Former Milwaukee Brewer Eric Haase played a key role in the win over his former team today, as he smashed a grand slam in the 7th inning. Jung Hoo Lee and Bryce Eldridge continued their recent success as the two combined for seven hits, a walk, five runs, and two RBI in 10 plate appearances today. Despite...

Vintage Logan Webb showed up when the Giants desperately needed him. After a brutal stretch that saw the club lose seven of eight, Webb stopped the bleeding and helped the Giants secure a much-needed win. It doesn't erase the bigger problems, but it does provide a reminder of what this team looks like when its ace is at his best.

We also discuss whether there might be something worth watching with Victor Bericoto, who continues to get opportunities as the Giants search for any kind of spark. But despite the win, the reality remains sobering: the Giants...

The San Francisco Giants finally produced a night worth cheering for as Logan Webb looked like his old self, spinning seven shutout innings and only giving up one hit in a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The lone run in the game came via Victor Bericoto's first career major league home run. Keaton Winn got the San Francisco Giants out of two tight jams, one in the eighth inning and another in the ninth, to record his first career five-out save. The biggest takeaway from tonight is that Logan Webb is regaining his form, and the San Francisco...

The San Francisco Giants face one of the most fascinating storylines of the season as Kyle Harrison takes the mound against his former organization. After years of questions about velocity, health, and development in San Francisco, Harrison admitted he's finally feeling healthy and believes he could have reached this level with the Giants. Was moving on from Harrison a necessary gamble, or is this becoming a painful "what if" for the organization?

We also dive into the growing Bryce Eldridge debate. Giants legend Mike Krukow didn't hold back when discussing Eldridge's limited playing time, saying he doesn't...

The San Francisco Giants continue to reach new lows seemingly every single time they step on the diamond this season, and tonight was no different, as old friend Kyle Harrison tied his career high in strikeouts against his former team and led the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-3 win. Walks were a huge issue for the San Francisco Giants tonight as they surrendered seven free baserunners, with four of them eventually coming around to score for the Milwaukee Brewers. With a front row seat tonight to Kyle Harrison's breakout season, it is fair to question if the San Francisco...

The San Francisco Giants continue their free fall into the darkest depths of baseball hell as they were absolutely embarrassed by the Milwaukee Brewers in a 16-2 loss tonight. Landen Roupp was shelled for eight runs in just four innings of work, and the bullpen was not much better as they surrendered eight runs of their own. This iteration of the San Francisco Giants is currently on pace to lose 99 games, one shy of the 1985 record-worst 100-loss season. The question is worth asking at this point: Is this the worst team in San Francisco Giants' history?

The San Francisco Giants just wrapped up one of the strangest weekends of the season. A heartbreaking walk-off loss on Friday, a beatdown on Saturday, and then a wild comeback victory on Sunday left Giants fans with plenty to unpack. We break down everything that happened, what it means moving forward, and whether the team may finally be building some momentum after weeks of frustration.

We also discuss the organization's decision to demote coach Hector Borg, the first significant staff change since manager Tony Vitello took over. Is this simply a roster move, or the beginning of...

The San Francisco Giants continue searching for answers, and now even manager Tony Vitello is hinting that tougher conversations may be necessary. During a candid appearance on KNBR, Vitello suggested that a little conflict might not be the worst thing for a struggling team, acknowledging that there are moments when difficult truths need to be said. As the losses pile up, the question becomes: what moves are actually left for the Giants to make?

We break down Vitello's comments, the possibility of coaching changes, and whether the organization has reached the point where more aggressive decisions need...

The San Francisco Giants hit a new low, getting embarrassed yet again by the Arizona Diamondbacks. In just 10 days, the Giants faced Arizona six times and lost all six games, getting outscored 39-17 in the process. The latest loss featured more of the same: sloppy defense, bad baserunning, and missed opportunities. The Giants are now 0-29 when trailing after six innings and have fallen 12 games under .500 for the first time since 2019.

The frustrating part? Trevor McDonald deserved better. Once again, he gave the Giants a chance to win, strengthening the argument that he needs to remain in...

The San Francisco Giants were just a few outs from avoiding being swept for the second time in the last three series, but baserunning blunders and a costly error harpooned their would-be win, ultimately falling 3-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Third base coach Hector Borg is now a household name for San Francisco Giants fans, and not for good reason. He has now cost the team multiple wins this season with terrible sends in key moments, and Borg's decision to send Willy Adames home in the bottom of the 8th inning was just the latest in a long line...

The San Francisco Giants lose another frustrating game to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the season is starting to feel like it’s drifting toward a critical point. Tyler Mahle battled once again, but the reality may simply be that this is who he is at this stage — competitive at times, but not consistently dominant enough to stop the bleeding when the Giants desperately need momentum.

We also dive into one of the biggest long-term debates surrounding this organization: should the Giants finally move in the right-center field fence at Oracle Park? With offense continuing to disappear for long...

The San Francisco Giants have played five games against the Arizona Diamondbacks this season and have lost every single one, falling again tonight, 7-5 at Oracle Park. The clutch hit evaded the San Francisco Giants yet again today as the squad went 1-9 with runners in scoring position. Tyler Mahle pitched well enough to keep things close, but the bullpen imploded and gave up four runs over the final four frames. With frustrations mounting around the San Francisco Giants, how soon before Buster Posey is on the hot seat?

The San Francisco Giants drop another frustrating game to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and once again the offense froze at the worst possible time. But the biggest storyline may be the growing concerns around Willy Adames. Another costly defensive mistake shifted the game, and the numbers paint an ugly picture: Adames now leads MLB in errors and has graded out as one of the league’s worst defenders statistically this season.

We dive into the reporting from Justice delos Santos and discuss whether this is becoming more than just a slump. Between the on-field struggles, defensive issues, and qu...

The San Francisco Giants are still searching for their first win in 2026 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as they fell again to the snakes today, 6-2 at Oracle Park. An error by Willy Adames and a bad play by Casey Schmitt in left field during the fifth inning led to three runs scoring for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and with the San Francisco Giants' offense producing another low-wattage outing, that was more than enough runs to generate a win for the visitors. This is the 10th time this season the San Francisco Giants have lost a series opener in 2026.

The San Francisco Giants bounced back in a big way, recovering after Friday’s ugly loss to take the series against the Chicago White Sox. It wasn’t perfect, but at this point the Giants simply needed to stack wins somewhere, and taking a series after the recent stretch matters. We break down what looked better, why this team still feels inconsistent despite the positive result, and whether this series can actually build momentum moving forward.

Plus, another matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks is already here, giving the Giants a quick chance at redemption after getting smacked arou...

Is the San Francisco Giants season already over? That’s the conversation after a brutal new article from Tom Verducci laid out six reasons why the Giants may already be cooked — from historically bad offensive numbers to lack of power, patience, speed, lineup flexibility, and major concerns surrounding key contracts. We break down Verducci’s argument, what feels fair, what might be premature, and whether this organization is actually closer to a retool than anyone wants to admit.

We also discuss the reported call-up of Victor Bericoto after MiLB Central reported the move before the usual Giants inside...

Buster Posey finally addressed a lot of the questions surrounding the San Francisco Giants, and his comments touched on everything from the bullpen to Bryce Eldridge to whether this organization is quietly heading toward a rebuild. Posey defended manager Tony Vitello, backed the Giants’ bullpen construction despite criticism, and pushed back hard on the idea that the front office punted on improving the roster.

He also addressed the viral moment involving Willy Adames joking around during games while the team struggles, making it clear that everything gets amplified when a team is losing. But the most interesting pa...

The San Francisco Giants were swept for the fourth time this season as they fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3 at Chase Field. Tyler Mahle fell apart as he gave up six earned runs in just five innings. Casey Schmitt launched his 9th home run of the season, and Bryce Eldridge recorded the hardest hit ball of the 2026 season for the San Francisco Giants. With the loss, the team finishes the road trip at 10 games under .500.

Another brutal loss for the San Francisco Giants, this time in heartbreaking fashion against the Arizona Diamondbacks. We break down the key moments from the game, including the puzzling decision to pitch to Ketel Marte right-handed despite years of dominance against left-handed pitching. As Ben Kaspick pointed out, Marte has been one of baseball’s most dangerous hitters against lefties for years, making the matchup choice even more frustrating in hindsight.

But the bigger conversation right now revolves around Bryce Eldridge. What started as excitement around the organization’s top prospect has quickly shifted into confusion, debate, and...

The San Francisco Giants can't catch a break this season, and tonight was no different as Ketel Marte blasted his first home run as a right-handed batter this season for an Arizona Diamondbacks walk-off win at Chase Field. After overcoming multiple sticky situations with runners on base, the bullpen finally cracked in the ninth. The San Francisco Giants' lack of a true closer was on display tonight in a game the team led for nearly the entire evening. Rafael Devers and Willy Adames blasted back-to-back home runs and both players seem to be starting to turn things around.

The San Francisco Giants got absolutely smacked by the Arizona Diamondbacks, and somehow the concerns just keep piling up. Robbie Ray admitted postgame it felt like Arizona hitters were “on everything,” even though he believed his stuff and mechanics were actually in a good place. That naturally raises bigger questions about adjustments, pitch tipping, and whether the coaching staff — including pitching coach Justin Meccage — needs to find answers faster.

Then came more injury scares. Jung Hoo Lee exited with back spasms, while Willy Adames injured his thumb on a hard-hit ground ball. Even if both avoid serious time, it...

The San Francisco Giants were annihilated by the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight as they fell 12-2 at Chase Field. Robbie Ray turned in his worst start ever in a San Francisco Giants uniform as he gave up 10 runs in less than five innings. He did not get much help from his offense, which only generated two runs, nor from his defense, which tallied three errors. Flush this one and move on to tomorrow.

The San Francisco Giants just wrapped up another solid series, beating the Oakland Athletics after taking a series from the San Diego Padres and splitting with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The problem? Even with better baseball lately, they still haven’t gained much ground — a reminder of just how deep the early-season hole was and how hot they’ll have to get moving forward.

The bigger conversation now might be the pitching staff. With Logan Webb nearing a return, should the Giants seriously consider a six-man rotation? Trevor McDonald has simply been too good to ignore, and both A...

The San Francisco Giants took the proverbial belt to the Athletics today in a 10-1 rout in Sacramento. An eight-run eighth inning created a Grand Canyon-sized gap between the two teams in what was previously a one-run game. Harrison Bader delivered the back-breaking grand slam to cement the San Francisco Giants' win, and Adrian Houser continued his recent trend of success on the mound in his second win of the season.

The San Francisco Giants took down the Athletics 6-4 tonight as Trevor McDonald tossed 6.2 solid innings and Casey Schmitt crushed two home runs into the Sacramento night. The bullpen bent, but didn't break for the San Francisco Giants as a late surge by the Athletics brought them within striking distance, but ultimately fell short. The San Francisco Giants have won all three of Trevor McDonald's starts so far this season, and the rookie has shown that he can provide more value than just a spot starter for this team.

The San Francisco Giants couldn't find the big hit tonight as they went 0-7 with runners in scoring position in their 5-2 loss to the Athletics. Tyler Mahle was relatively solid through the first four innings, but ran into a turbulent fifth inning where he surrendered four runs. Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers both failed to deliver in multiple big opportunities in the loss. Heliot Ramos exited this game with right quad tightness, and San Francisco Giants' fans saw Casey Schmitt get some action in left field as a result.

After winning the first two games, rhe San Francisco Giants split the series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it came in a game where the Dodgers didn’t even need Shohei Ohtani or Mookie Betts to get it done. Emmet Sheehan continues to give the Giants trouble in a way no one else has, raising real questions about this matchup moving forward.

Still, there was a historic moment as Jung Hoo Lee delivered an inside-the-park home run — the first by a Giant at Dodger Stadium since it opened in 1962. But beyond that highlight, the bigger story is s...

The San Francisco Giants fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers today, 5-2, resulting in a 2-2 series split in the four-game set down at Chavez Ravine. While the San Francisco Giants did get an electric inside-the-park home run from Jung Hoo Lee, it was one of only two hits the team picked up the entire night. Los Angeles Dodgers' starter Emmet Sheehan was dominant tonight, and so was their bullpen. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants' bullpen seems to be regressing after their excellent month of April.

The San Francisco Giants finally drop one to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it came down to a familiar formula: dominant pitching on the other side and a costly mistake at the wrong time. Shohei Ohtani shoved, while a brutal baserunning error from Willy Adames shifted momentum — even as he dismissed the moment postgame.

We break down what went wrong, why this loss stands out despite the recent run, and what it says about the Giants’ margin for error. Plus, new reporting from Robert Murray adds an important layer to the bigger picture: while trade talk is swir...

The San Francisco Giants' recent thrusting momentum was stalled today as they were shutout by Shohei Ohtani in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Robbie Ray surrendered back-to-back home runs to Santiago Espinal and Mookie Betts in the third inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers never looked back. The two runs, plus the two that were tacked on later, were more than enough for Shohei Ohtani, who was masterful on the mound tonight. Tonight is one of those nights where all you can do is tip your cap to the opposing pitcher and move on to tomorrow...

The San Francisco Giants are starting to roll, winning 4 of their last 5 and showing signs that things might finally be coming together. We break down another strong performance, including a wild night from Eric Haase, who nearly left the yard three times and continues to fuel a surprising trend behind the plate. The numbers are hard to ignore — the Giants’ offensive production at catcher has been drastically different depending on who’s in the lineup.

We also dive into what’s becoming a fascinating matchup dynamic with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who continues to struggle against the Giants, and a Los An...

The San Francisco Giants blasted three home runs tonight as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers for the fourth time in five games this season. Eric Haase blasted two home runs, and Harrison Bader also pitched in a homer of his own. Tony Vitello's bullpen management was excellent tonight, and starting pitcher Adrian Houser rose to the occasion and picked up the first win of his career against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite the San Francisco Giants' struggles this season, they seem to have no problem beating the Los Angeles Dodgers.
