Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

Today we ask the big question: Can the Giants pull off the unthinkable? San Francisco finally snapped a four-game skid and avoided a sweep in Arizona with a dramatic extra-inning win. The victory not only saved face but also kept their Wild Card hopes alive—just 2 games back with 10 left to play. We’ll break down how the math looks, why every inning matters from here on out, and what the Giants need to do to keep the dream alive.

Next, we dive into Justin Verlander’s future in San Francisco. Verlander has been nothing short of specta...

The San Francisco Giants salvaged a win in the desert before the conclusion of this series, picking up an extra-innings win over the Arizona Diamondbacks despite only recording one hit through the first 11 innings. Jerar Encarnacion broke the 0-0 tie in the top of the 11th with an RBI single, and Christian Koss delivered a big two-RBI double to really break this one open and put the San Francisco Giants up multiple runs. Justin Verlander continued his resurgent second half of the season with a dominant seven scoreless innings, and the bullpen was great overall, despite Ryan Walker making...

That’s all she wrote. For the second time in four games, the Giants jumped out to an early 4–0 lead — only to watch it evaporate before fans could even grab a drink. Tristan Beck got through a clean first inning but gave up three runs in the second, and from there it felt like a script we’ve seen too many times. The game ended on a Casey Schmitt error that led to a Mets walk-off, sealing another gut punch for San Francisco.

Meanwhile, the Mets are finding their stride again while the Giants continue to stumble, still st...

The San Francisco Giants continue to watch their playoff hopes slip away as the Arizona Diamondbacks walked them off today at Chase Field. Defensive blunders plagued the San Francisco Giants in this game, and ultimately, that is what came back to haunt them. Two key defensive plays in the bottom of the ninth inning allowed the winning run to score.

The San Francisco Giants dropped the opener to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 8–1, and their playoff hopes are suddenly hanging by a thread. Allen Stiles breaks down what went wrong in the desert: Teng giving them 4 solid innings, the bullpen collapse with Matt Gage, Joel Peguero, and Joey Lucchesi, and the complete lack of offense at the plate.

The big question: are the Giants simply gassed, or was this inevitable after moving on from key bullpen arms like Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval? We also talk about Bryce Eldridge’s debut, the recent offensive slump, and why timing matters just...

The San Francisco Giants called up top prospect Bryce Eldridge to make his MLB debut, but the move didn't help beat the Arizona Diamondbacks today, falling 8-1. Bryce Eldridge showed off some of his power today, driving a ball 106 mph and 407 feet, but the long fly ball found a glove in the outfield as the rookie finished the day hitless with one strikeout. The rest of the team didn't fare much better, as the San Francisco Giants have lost all of the momentum they had just a few days ago.

The Giants just made a huge move — top prospect Bryce Eldridge is being called up to the big leagues. At just 20 years old, Eldridge has already shown his power across Double-A and Triple-A, with 25 homers and 84 RBIs in just 101 games despite missing nearly two months. Now, he’ll get his shot to help the Giants make one final playoff push. How will he fit into the lineup with Devers at first base, and what role can he realistically play down the stretch?

We also dive into the Dodgers series, which served as a harsh reality check. Friday nigh...

The San Francisco Giants were crushed by the Los Angeles Dodgers today at Oracle Park after Robbie Ray was blasted for five runs in just four innings of work. A four-run fifth inning really broke things open for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who collected 18 total hits. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants only managed five hits in this one and had no response offensively. With the loss, the San Francisco Giants fall to one game back of the New York Mets for the final spot in the NL Wild Card race.

The San Francisco Giants picked up their BIGGEST win of the season to date tonight, taking down the Los Angeles Dodgers with a walk-off grand slam off the bat of Patrick Bailey in the bottom of the 10th inning at Oracle Park. Justin Verlander had his most defining moment on the mound as a San Francisco Giant, and Willy Adames is cementing himself as the leader the team hoped he would be.

The San Francisco Giants are heading into a make-or-break series against the Dodgers — and it could define their playoff chances. With Verlander, Webb, and Ray lined up, this is the matchup we’ve been waiting for. The Mets are collapsing, the Reds are pushing, and the Giants have the chance to make a serious move.

We also dive into a player profile on Reggie Crawford, the Giants’ 2022 first-round pick who has faced setback after setback with injuries. Now, after labrum surgery, the organization is betting on him as a pitcher-only prospect. Can Crawford still live up to the hy...

The San Francisco Giants couldn't complete the sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks today, falling 5-2 at Oracle Park. Carson Seymour got off to a rocky start and never recovered, as he gave up six hits and four runs over 1.1 innings pitched. The offense never got things going either, as the San Francisco Giants didn't put a runner in scoring position until the bottom of the seventh inning and did not score until the bottom of the eighth. Up next, the San Francisco Giants face the Los Angeles Dodgers in one of the most pivotal series of the season.

The San Francisco Giants just keep finding ways to win. Another 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks at Oracle Park showed once again why this team refuses to quit. Willy Adames homered early, Patrick Bailey went deep for the second straight game, and Robbie Ray's steady presence on the mound continues to set the tone. The Mets’ continued struggles only add fuel to the fire, and right now the Giants smell blood in the water.

We also shine the spotlight on Christian Koss. The 27-year-old infielder has a chance to be a real candidate for a bigger role in...

The San Francisco Giants won again today over the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 at Oracle Park, climbing to just two games out of the final playoff spot in the NL. Willy Adames and Patrick Bailey both hit home runs today to continue the massive offensive power surge we have seen most of September. Robbie Ray was solid tonight and picked up the win, and Dominic Smith played an incredible first base today. Joel Peguero impressed tonight, working the San Francisco Giants out of a key jam with two big strikeouts.

The San Francisco Giants opened their latest series with exactly what fans wanted to see—an offensive outburst. Dominic Smith with a huge homer, Jung Hoo Lee showed off both his pop and his bunting game, and Logan Webb notched his 200th and 201st strikeout on the way to his 7K performance. The Giants didn’t just win—they flipped the script, blowing the game wide open with homers all across the lineup.

We also take a look around the Wild Card race. The Mets keep losing, which opens the door just a little wider for San Franci...

The San Francisco Giants erupted for a season-high five home runs in their 11-5 pummeling over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite trailing by three runs early in this game, Logan Webb continued to battle and keep the San Francisco Giants within striking distance and did enough to pick up the win today. Six different San Francisco Giants drove in runs in the big win. With the New York Mets losing today, the San Francisco Giants are just three games back of the final spot in the NL Wild Card race.

Depending on how these next 19 games play out, this past weekend against the Cardinals could go down as the weekend of missed opportunities for the San Francisco Giants. Up two runs in the ninth inning, they gave up a walk-off on a day when the Mets lost—a golden chance wasted. Another strong Justin Verlander start was left on the table, and the Giants dropped their first series in over two weeks.

The truth is, when you’re playing with such a thin margin for error, you have to be nearly perfect. The Giants weren’t. Jung Hoo Le...

The San Francisco Giants continued their incredible offensive output today with another 18 hits in their 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Rafael Devers and Willy Adames got the party started early with back-to-back solo home runs in the first inning, and every single player in a San Francisco Giants uniform who batted today picked up at least one hit before the end of this one. Carson Seymour also delivered his best game of his career with the big-league club as he tossed five innings while only surrendering one run and two hits. With the New...

The San Francisco Giants are staying hot, but this weekend against the Cardinals is no walk in the park. With the Mets and Padres battling for Wild Card spots, every win counts — and Carson Seymour will be tasked with setting the tone in a bullpen-heavy game.

Next up, we spotlight one of the most exciting players in the Giants system: Bo Davidson. After signing for just $50,000 as an undrafted free agent in 2023, Davidson has risen to the #5 prospect in the organization (per MLB Pipeline) and was named the top-performing Giants prospect of 2025 by Baseball America. With a mi...

The San Francisco Giants are playing their best baseball of the season, winning 10 of their last 11 games and hitting home runs in 17 straight contests — the longest streak in the San Francisco era. They’re finally showing some fight, taking care of business against the Rockies and proving they won’t back down when the pressure is on. 

Matt Chapman is stepping up as a true leader, crushing two homers in this series and setting the tone for the lineup. Patrick Bailey is heating up at the plate again with clutch, timely hitting, while Drew Gilbert and Robb...

The San Francisco Giants continued to roll today with another massive offensive output in a 10-8 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Matt Chapman, fresh off yesterday's ejection, launched two homers in the win, and teammate Drew Gilbert smashed another home run as well. The Colorado Rockies got to Robbie Ray tonight, which marks back-to-back subpar starts for the San Francisco Giants' lefty. With the win, the San Francisco Giants are four games back in the NL Wild Card race.

The Giants and Rockies got into it in Denver — and the Giants still came out on top. Chapman and Adames stood up for their guys, Raffy Devers went yard, Casey Schmitt surprised with a homer, and Patrick Bailey delivered a big swing. Logan Webb was his usual dawg self, and the bullpen stayed hot. Plus, what was Kyle Freeland even doing? 

We also dive into Casey Schmitt’s ceiling: is he really the long-term answer at 2nd base, or more of a trade chip? His bat has cooled but his defense still shines — could the Giants keep him in...

Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were both ejected in the first inning today, but that didn't stop the San Francisco Giants from launching four home runs and beating the Colorado Rockies 7-4 at Coors Field. With the four homers today, the San Francisco Giants push their home run streak to 16 games, an astonishing feat for a team that struggled to score runs all year long. Logan Webb was very good at tip-toeing around trouble on the basepaths today, and Casey Schmitt played very well after being forced into the game after the ejections.

The San Francisco Giants are the hottest team in the National League — but is it too late for the Wild Card push? Behind Kai-Wei Teng’s best outing yet, a 4-for-4 night from Drew Gilbert, and big homers from Willy Adames and Rafael Devers, the Giants rolled to an 8–2 win in Colorado. It feels like this hot streak was expected once the pressure of the playoff chase began to fade, but the math still leaves them on the outside looking in. 

We also dive into the right field battle: Gilbert is red-hot, Luis Matos is fighting to prove h...

The San Francisco Giants continued their solid play today at Coors Field as they took down the Colorado Rockies 8-2 in this Labor Day matchup. Kai-Wei Teng set the tone today, limiting the Colorado Rockies to just two runs over 5.1 innings pitched while striking out eight. Rafael Devers gave him some run support with a first-inning home run, stretching the San Francisco Giants' home-run streak to 15 games. Drew Gilbert had yet another big game at the plate as well, as he was 4-4 today with a home run of his own. With the win, the San Francisco Giants are...

The San Francisco Giants are finally showing life — winners of 7 of their last 8 — but they’re still 5 games out of the Wild Card with 25 to play. After taking care of business against the Orioles, the Giants now face a critical stretch against the Rockies in Coors Field. Can this late run actually matter with one of the softest schedules left in MLB? We spotlight Rafael Devers’ consistency and why his production continues to validate Buster Posey’s decision to lock him up long-term. Then, we pivot to our player profile on Jesús Rodríguez, a converted catcher acquired in the Camil...

The San Francisco Giants bludgeoned the Baltimore Orioles today in a 13-2 shellacking at Oracle Park. Justin Verlander rolled back the clock today and looked as dominant as he ever has in a San Francisco Giants uniform, racking up 10 strikeouts and no runs over five innings pitched while only giving up three hits. He got a ton of run support from the San Francisco Giants' offense as they plated 13 runs against a much-maligned Baltimore Orioles defense that made multiple errors today and looked lost throughout much of this one.

The San Francisco Giants showed you who they really are today after an 11-1 beatdown by the Baltimore Orioles ended their six-game winning streak. Willy Adames got things going for the San Francisco Giants with a solo home run to give them an early 1-0 lead, but the Baltimore Orioles posted three separate innings of three or more runs, far more than the lackluster San Francisco Giants offense was able to muster today. Carson Seymour got the start in this one and showed you why he's much better out of the bullpen.

The San Francisco Giants erupted for a season-high 15 runs as they pushed their win streak to six games, taking down the Baltimore Orioles 15-8 tonight at Oracle Park. The offense was humming all game long as the San Francisco Giants scored in all but one inning and tallied 18 total hits. Luis Matos continued his recent tear at the dish as he picked up four hits, including a solo home run, and three RBI. Unfortunately for the San Francisco Giants, some bad news was delivered today, as Randy Rodriguez will likely require Tommy John surgery and will miss extensive time...

The San Francisco Giants just swept the Cubs, handing Chicago its first sweep loss of the season, and they did it in exciting fashion: Jung Hoo Lee’s first walk-off, Willy Adames with two homers, and energy all over the diamond. But the question remains: why now, and what does it mean with the Wild Card slipping away? We break down the “reality check” behind this sweep, including whether the pressure being gone is what’s unlocking this lineup. Then, we shift focus to the future: Buster Posey revealed the plan for top prospect Bryce Eldridge, and it doesn’t include...

The San Francisco Giants finished off the sweep of the Chicago Cubs today in walk-off fashion, taking them down 4-3 at Oracle Park as Jung Hoo Lee swatted a single to score the winning run. Willy Adames was the focal point of the offense today as he launched two home runs and drove in three. Logan Webb battled through seven innings, and again, the bullpen was lights out despite being extremely short-handed. The San Francisco Giants have now won five consecutive games, all against the two best teams in the National League.

Expected. The Giants have finally strung together a dominant win—12–3 over the Cubs—but only now as the Wild Card race tightens. In this episode, we unpack the breakout performances from Rafael Devers, Heliot Ramos, and Matt Chapman. Why does it feel like this woke-up game should’ve come weeks earlier? What shift finally flipped the switch?

We dig into Ramos’ rising impact, the possible changes in hitting approach, and how the schedule and playoff implications look now that the team’s offense is heating up. It’s not too late yet—but the margin is razor thin.

The San Francisco Giants erupted for twelve runs today as they crushed the Chicago Cubs on their way to their second consecutive series win over a playoff team. Rafael Devers launched two home runs and was 4-4 today at the plate while driving in five runs, but he wasn't the only one who contributed today, as six different San Francisco Giants drove in runs today and the team was 4-9 with runners in scoring position. With two consecutive series wins over very good teams, are the San Francisco Giants officially back?

The San Francisco Giants had yet another come-from-ahead loss today as they fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4. Wilson Contreras launched a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth to spoil Willy Adames's homecoming, during which he smacked two homers of his own. Carson Whisenhunt's numbers weren't great today, but he battled on the mound and showed some grit in his four innings. Nevertheless, the San Francisco Giants found a way to lose again despite the great effort from Willy Adames and some excitement in the ninth inning.
