Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants collected a rare comeback win today as they beat the Colorado Rockies 4-2 after falling behind early on. Tony Vitello was ejected in the third inning after a balk call against Tyler Mahle, and the team seemed to play with a greater sense of urgency afterward. Speaking of Tyler Mahle, he was excellent today as he spun seven innings and only gave up one run. This team is in desperate need of a leader in the clubhouse, and this is a perfect time for Tony Vitello to step up.

The San Francisco Giants entered the 9th inning with a one-run lead but lost 4-3 after Caleb Kilian failed to record a single out in his third blown save of the season. Bryce Eldridge came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded and a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th, but grounded out on the first pitch of the at-bat. With two more games before the All-Star break, the San Francisco Giants sit 16 games below .500.

The San Francisco Giants have a decision to make with Casey Schmitt. He has done enough this season to force his way into the conversation, but now comes the bigger question: should the Giants prioritize finding him an everyday position, or does his versatility make him more valuable moving around the diamond? We break down what Schmitt has shown, how the roster could create a permanent opportunity, and why his future role matters as the Giants begin figuring out which players belong in their next core.

The San Francisco Giants bounced back from their shutout loss yesterday as they swatted 13 hits on their way to an 8-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Casey Schmitt, Bryce Eldridge, and Willy Adames all clubbed homers in the win, and Carson Whisenhunt tossed six solid innings and worked his way out of a few different jams. Despite leaving 11 runners on base, the San Francisco Giants went 4-10 with runners in scoring position, which was enough to get the win today.

The San Francisco Giants may have reached a breaking point. After nearly being no-hit in a 10-0 loss, the frustration surrounding this team is becoming impossible to ignore. Heliot Ramos bat-flipped after breaking up the no-hit bid while down 10 runs, Tony Vitello looked defeated, and the entire night felt like a snapshot of a season that continues to spiral.

Then Logan Webb took his frustration to social media. The Giants ace responded to a reporter, engaged with and blocked fans, and eventually deactivated his account. We break down what happened, what may have pushed Webb to this...

The San Francisco Giants were battered by the Toronto Blue Jays today as they fell 10-0, narrowly avoiding being no-hit by Dylan Cease. Five runs in the first inning set the tone for the Toronto Blue Jays while instantly putting the San Francisco Giants in an insurmountable hole, which really isn't all that tough to do this season, considering the team is 1-40 when trailing after the 6th inning in 2026. Ultimately, the San Francisco Giants move to a season-worst 16 games under .500 with the loss, and this feels like the lowest point so far. One thing to keep in mind...

The San Francisco Giants have a pitching problem, and Trevor McDonald’s latest start made it impossible to ignore. McDonald allowed 11 hits in just 2 1/3 innings, becoming only the third Giants pitcher ever to surrender that many hits in such a short outing. We break down what went wrong, whether Adrian Houser could return to the rotation, and why San Francisco needs to make adding young pitching one of its biggest priorities moving forward.

The Giants have spent plenty of time trying to build around position players, but where is the next wave of starting pitching coming from? Wi...

After a big win last night in the first game of the series, the San Francisco Giants fell right back down to earth today against the Toronto Blue Jays, falling 9-3. Trevor McDonald was McTerrible on the mound tonight, as he lasted just 2.1 innings and allowed 8 runs on 11 hits. This is now the third time in his last five starts that he has failed to complete at least four innings before getting the hook. Meanwhile, the offense was back to their usual shenanigans, as the team produced 9 hits, yet only scored 3 runs while leaving 5 on base. Only two hits...

Heliot Ramos absolutely exploded against the Toronto Blue Jays, launching two home runs and adding a triple in one of the biggest individual performances of the Giants’ season. Ramos has been on a tear since returning, and at this point the conversation is becoming bigger than just a hot streak. We break down what’s changed, what this version of Ramos could mean for the Giants moving forward, and why he continues to look like one of the organization’s most important players.

Plus, Jeff Passan released his top 100 trade candidates, and the Giants have seven players on the...

The San Francisco Giants crushed the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 thanks to a MONSTER performance at the plate from Heliot Ramos and a career-high eight innings of work from Landen Roupp. Heliot Ramos provided five RBI on two home runs and a triple out of the leadoff spot, and Landen Roupp struck out five and allowed only three hits in his career-best start. The San Francisco Giants as a team capitalized on the many mistakes the Toronto Blue Jays made, which is something we have rarely seen from this team in 2026.

The San Francisco Giants just lost a series to the Colorado Rockies, another brutal result for a team running out of reasons to believe a turnaround is coming. We break down what went wrong, why losing this series feels bigger than just another bad weekend, and where the Giants go from here.

The trade conversation is also getting louder. Jim Bowden weighed in on which teams should sell, and the Giants’ place in that discussion is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. With Zack Minasian already saying the front office is willing to have conversations, we examine whether th...

The San Francisco Giants have been remarkably consistent at providing heartbreaking letdowns, usually courtesy of the bullpen. Today was no different as they fell 7-6 to the Colorado Rockies in a game the San Francisco Giants absolutely should have won. Despite another heartburn-inducing start from Tyler Mahle, the offense powered the team to a two-run lead, thanks to two home runs from Rafael Devers and one apiece from Casey Schmitt and Drew Gilbert. Then Dylan Smith entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, surrendered a double, plunked a guy to put the game-tying run on base...

The San Francisco Giants are officially entering trade season, and General Manager Zack Minasian made it clear the front office is prepared for every possibility.

Minasian said the Giants will approach the deadline with an open mind and are willing to have difficult conversations about the roster. While moving some of the team's larger contracts may prove difficult, expiring deals could still make San Francisco an active player as July approaches.

We break down what Minasian's comments reveal about the Giants' trade strategy, which players appear most likely to be moved, and why the organization...

The San Francisco Giants finally got the monkey off their back against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the biggest takeaway may be the continued emergence of Victor Bericoto.

Bericoto homered again, Heliot Ramos stayed red hot, Trevor McDonald delivered one of his best starts of the season, and Drew Cavanaugh chipped in with another RBI as the Giants' younger core continued to make an impact. Is Bericoto becoming more than just a nice story? We break down what separates his start from other young Giants who flashed briefly before fading and why there's reason for genuine optimism.

Start planning a parade down Market Street, the San Francisco Giants FINALLY beat the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first time this season, 6-4, tonight at Chase Field. Heliot Ramos clubbed a home run and a triple (which also nearly went over the fence), continuing his hot streak since returning from the IL. Victor Bericoto also crushed another home run tonight as well, and Trevor McDonald tossed six stellar innings. The bullpen did its best to try to ruin the win, but even a horrific eighth inning from Ryan Walker couldn't spoil this one.

The San Francisco Giants struggles against the Arizona Diamondbacks are reaching historic marks, and the bigger picture is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. At 35-50, the Giants are now on pace for a 67-95 season, raising legitimate questions about where this organization is headed over the second half.

We compare the Giants' trajectory to recent teams that made managerial changes and discuss whether Tony Vitello, Buster Posey, or the front office could eventually face increased scrutiny if things don't improve.

The San Francisco Giants lost their eighth consecutive game to the Arizona Diamondbacks this season and are still winless against the NL West foe, falling today 8-2. Again, early run production from the Arizona Diamondbacks put the San Francisco Giants in an insurmountable hole. Landen Roupp struggled to find the strikezone today, walking six runners in just 2.2 innings of work. To make matters worse, Matt Chapman, who leads the team in WAR, exited the game with a lower-body injury. The San Francisco Giants are now 15 games under .500.

The San Francisco Giants dropped another game to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the same issues continue to surface. Costly baserunning mistakes, communication breakdowns, and missed opportunities once again overshadowed any positives as Arizona continued to have the Giants' number.

We break down Victor Bericoto's costly baserunning blunder, Tyler Mahle's surprising comments about not knowing he was on a pitch count, and what those moments say about the Giants' overall execution. Are these isolated mistakes, or signs of larger leadership and communication issues?

The San Francisco Giants are still searching for their first win against the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2026 as they fell 5-4 today at Chase Field. Known Giants killers Ketel Marte and Nolan Arenado both clubbed home runs, and Geraldo Perdomo delivered a key three-RBI double to bury the San Francisco Giants. Even in the loss, the young and developing players on this roster showed some great signs of improvement. If only this pitching staff could get their you-know-what together.

The San Francisco Giants have quietly won two straight series, so we ask the question can the keep it rolling or will they continue the cycle of struggling after a good week.

Logan Webb once again reminded everyone why he's one of baseball's most dependable aces, dominating despite pitching while under the weather. Any concerns surrounding Webb have completely disappeared, and he's once again giving the Giants a chance to win every time he takes the mound.

Meanwhile, Rafael Devers appears to be finding his rhythm after launching two home runs over the weekend, while...

The San Francisco Giants needed a heroic effort from Robbie Ray to do it, but they got the win in the rubber match today at Oracle Park against the Atlanta Braves. Ray dazzled over eight innings as he only surrendered one run on four hits and one walk. While the strikeout stuff was not on display, he was able to generate a ton of weak contact and keep his pitch count down. The offense struggled with runners in scoring position again, but key defensive mistakes from the Atlanta Braves allowed the San Francisco Giants to scratch across just enough...

The San Francisco Giants were powered to victory over the Atlanta Braves thanks to two home runs from Rafael Devers and another dominant start from ace Logan Webb. This was the 22nd time in Rafael Devers' career that he produced a multi-homer game, giving him three home runs total on the homestand. Logan Webb continued his otherworldly dominance that we have seen since his return from the IL. With another seven innings of shutout ball today, Webb finishes the month of June with an ERA below one.

The San Francisco Giants continue to play the most uninspiring brand of baseball imaginable as they fell yet again to the Atlanta Braves in a 3-1 loss at Oracle Park tonight. While the team had plenty of scoring chances, the San Francisco Giants went 0-8 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine baserunners. Matt Chapman's trade value is evaporating at a record pace, and this team has virtually no direction. The rudderless franchise falls to 33-48 with the loss tonight.

The San Francisco Giants were one out away from recording their first sweep of the season, but, in a surprise to absolutely nobody, the bullpen gave up seven runs in the final three innings and blew any chance the team had to win today. The biggest failure today was Caleb Killian, who gave up four runs in the ninth inning. The disastrous ending spoiled a solid start from Landen Roupp, who tossed six innings while only giving up two runs. Victor Bericoto hit a 445-foot blast and recorded another outfield assist to provide a bright spot for the San...

San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer joined KNBR and addressed many of the biggest questions surrounding the organization, offering insight into the club's direction as the trade market begins to heat up.

Baer reiterated the Giants' confidence in Buster Posey, saying he has full trust in Posey to turn things around and revealing there were no financial restrictions on adding bullpen help during the offseason. He also discussed the Rafael Devers situation, the organization's handling of Pride Night, and echoed the front office's stance on potential trades.

The San Francisco Giants delivered an unlikely come-from-behind, walk-off win over the Athletics tonight at Oracle Park. Victor Bericoto was the hero for the San Francisco Giants as he blasted a 445-foot solo home run for the win, but Rafael Devers set it up by smashing his own solo home run earlier in the ninth inning to tie things up. Jung Hoo Lee played some phenomenal defense in right field tonight, and Bericoto saved a run earlier in the game with some heads-up backup defense as well. Tyler Mahle looked decent in his return from the IL. With controversy...

The San Francisco Giants finally got back in the win column, but the bigger story may be what happened before the game.

Buster Posey met with the media and addressed several of the organization's biggest topics, although he made it clear he would not take questions on the Pride Night controversy, he did discuss Logan Webb's future, the possibility of moving players with no-trade clauses, Rafael Devers remaining in the lineup, and the reality of a difficult season. While Posey didn't reveal much new information, his comments offered another glimpse into how the Giants are approaching an...

The San Francisco Giants continue to search for answers, and one of the most fascinating developments may be happening behind the scenes. According to a recent report, Giants pitchers have been given increased freedom to call their own games, creating a unique dynamic between the mound and the catcher as the organization looks for ways to improve its pitching staff.

What does that actually mean? How common is it around Major League Baseball? And could it help explain some of the recent decisions we've seen from the Giants' pitchers?

The San Francisco Giants were swept by the Miami Marlins, but the biggest story coming out of the series may have nothing to do with the final score.

Rafael Devers has become the center of attention after reports surfaced that he refused to leave a game, creating another layer of controversy during an already frustrating season. We break down what happened, what it means for the Giants moving forward, and whether this is simply a one-time incident or a sign of larger issues within the organization.

The San Francisco Giants continue to embarrass themselves on the field as they were swept by the Miami Marlins despite another eight-inning start from Logan Webb. Rafael Devers gave the San Francisco Giants the perfect ending to their nauseating series as he tried to wave off Jonah Cox after Tony Vitello subbed the outfielder in to pinch run for Devers in the top of the ninth inning, completely showing up his rookie manager and teammate. Not only did the San Francisco Giants lose this game in frustrating fashion, but their supposed "star" player looks like a clubhouse cancer. With...

What happens if the San Francisco Giants miss the playoffs?

It's a question we hoped would be unthinkable not long ago, but as the season enters a critical stretch, it's fair to ask what would actually be on the line. Would Tony Vitello face pressure in his first season? Would Zack Minasian's roster construction come under greater scrutiny? Could Buster Posey face his toughest decisions yet as the organization's leader?

In today's episode, we take a closer look at the stakes facing the Giants and why the consequences of missing October baseball could extend well...

The San Francisco Giants just took down one of the best teams in baseball, rolling the Atlanta Braves in back-to-back games. While the wins were impressive, the biggest story may be what we're learning about Bryce Eldridge.

The rookie continues to look more comfortable at the major league level and is beginning to force his way into bigger conversations. Is a National League Rookie of the Year run actually on the table? We break down Eldridge's recent performance, his growing role within the organization, and why the Giants may have found a foundational piece for years to...

The San Francisco Giants took down the Atlanta Braves in the second game of their doubleheader today, launching three home runs in Carson Whisenhunt's first MLB start of the 2026 season, final score 7-5 from Truist Park. The second game of this doubleheader was eerily similar to the first game, as both featured back-to-back blasts from the San Francisco Giants. Luis Arraez gave the San Francisco Giants a ton of run production today, driving in four of the team's seven runs. Carson Whisenhunt was pretty solid in his first start with the big-league club this season, as he tossed five...

The San Francisco Giants got a stellar bounce-back effort from Robbie Ray today as they picked up a 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves in a game that spanned two days after yesterday's game was postponed before the bottom of the second inning yesterday. Jung Hoo Lee and Rafael Devers hit back-to-back home runs in the 5th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a comfortable three-run lead, and Willy Adames added a solo shot of his own later in the 8th inning. The win comes on a special day for Locked On Sports, as the company is celebrating...

The San Francisco Giants are approaching a critical trade deadline, but the latest reporting suggests their biggest problem may be easier to identify than solve. According to Robert Murray, expensive and underperforming veterans like Rafael Devers and Willy Adames could be extremely difficult to move, leaving the Giants with limited flexibility if they decide to reshape the roster.

Meanwhile, one name continues to dominate trade discussions around the league: Logan Webb. Rival teams would love to acquire the Giants' ace, but multiple reports indicate San Francisco has no plans to move him. That creates a fascinating dilemma...

The San Francisco Giants are entering a fascinating stretch of the season, after players were issued a warning for the events that happened on Pride Night, was Tony Vitello aware? The latest reporting suggests the front office is willing to listen on some of its biggest contracts. According to Buster Olney, the Giants are open to offers for Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, and other notable trade candidates, while Ken Rosenthal reports there are no plans to move ace Logan Webb.

What does that tell us about the Giants' direction? We break down the latest trade...

The San Francisco Giants lost the series to the Chicago Cubs, but the bigger question is what we actually learned about this team. Are Landen Roupp and Trevor McDonald beginning to come back down to earth after impressive starts, or is this simply part of the normal adjustment process for young pitchers?

We also discuss why Bryce Eldridge's timeline may have officially changed. The young slugger continues to look more comfortable at the major league...

The San Francisco Giants avoided being swept by the Chicago Cubs as Logan Webb dominated over eight innings of work, and Matt Chapman launched his sixth home run in his last 13 games in a 5-1 win on Hello Kitty Day at Oracle Park. This is the first time in Logan Webb's career that he's produced back-to-back 8+ inning starts, and with the trade deadline fast approaching, many fans are wondering how many more Logan Webb wins will come with him wearing a San Francisco Giants uniform.

The San Francisco Giants couldn't get the bats going tonight against the Chicago Cubs, ultimately falling 5-1 at Oracle Park. Only two total San Francisco Giants players were able to record hits against the Chicago Cubs staff tonight, and the team only generated three at-bats with runners in scoring position. The pitching was also not very good as Landen Roupp couldn't make it out of the fifth inning, and Erik Miller gave up a three-run bomb to the first batter he faced in relief. The only bright spot from tonight was Bryce Eldridge, who keeps ripping the cover off...

The San Francisco Giants may have won a series, but the biggest questions surrounding the organization haven't gone away. As trade rumors continue to swirl, MLB Network's Jon Morosi recently discussed a scenario where teams that miss out on top pitching targets could pivot toward Logan Webb. The interesting part? The Giants and Tigers are separated by just one win, raising even more questions about how teams across baseball view San Francisco's direction.
