Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

Sweeping a team isn't easy, especially on the road and in Denver, but it would've gone a long way for the San Francisco Giants, who entered their series against the Rockies in the midst of a 1-6 road trip. The Giants leave Colorado having won two out of three, but they missed a chance to sweep in the finale. Instead of a 4-6 trip, the SF Giants come home having gone 3-7. Nevertheless, it was important to win the series and the SF Giants got that done. They have to start playing better baseball overall, and that was on display in the first two games against the Rockies. Kyle Harrison was brilliant in the first game, and Jordan Hicks and the Giants' offense got things done in Game 2. Keaton Winn continued his recent stretch of struggles in Thursday's loss, putting further pressure on Blake Snell to return. Per Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle, Snell will throw a bullpen session Thursday and begin a rehab assignment at Single-A San Jose on Sunday. Despite Snell's early-season struggles, his return to the Giants' rotation will be key if the Giants want to start stringing together more wins and vault themselves back into contention.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants have done the unthinkable and won back to back games on this grueling road trip after defeating the Colorado Rockies 8-6 today at Coors Field. Jordan Hicks had another quality outing as the San Francisco Giants starter, and the offense showed up for a second consecutive day. With the win, the San Francisco Giants remain the only team undefeated in the MLB when they score five or more runs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/MLB and get $20 off your first fix LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

The San Francisco Giants needed a spark badly, and they got it from 22-year-old rookie Kyle Harrison. Harrison dominated the Rockies over seven shutout innings in Denver, becoming one of only a handful of SF Giants pitchers to have such a good outing at Coors Field. Harrison's early-season performance has been one of the best stories of the year so far for the Giants. His ERA now sits in the low 3.00s. LaMonte Wade Jr. has been another great story, as he had a huge night in the 5-0 win, upping his walk rate and on-base percentage to the best in MLB (min. 100 plate appearances). Elsewhere, Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi spoke on the team's very disappointing early-season struggles. Zaidi's comments, given to the San Francisco Chronicle, are discussed and analyzed.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants finally got another road win after picking up a 5-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Kyle Harrison pitched a gem in this one as he posted seven innings of shutout ball in his first time at Coors Field, one of the toughest parks to pitch in. A four run fourth inning made all the difference for the San Francisco Giants as they have been searching for a big inning all road trip. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/MLB and get $20 off your first fix LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

Something's gotta give when two teams playing awful baseball match up, and that's exactly what we have in store tonight as the San Francisco Giants begin a three-game series in Denver against the Colorado Rockies. The Giants are 1-6 on their current 10-game road trip, so this has a chance to be a complete disaster if they don't turn things around against Colorado and win at least two out of three. A sweep would be great, but that is far from a guarantee given how poorly the SF Giants have played as of late.On paper, the San Francisco Giants are much better than the Rockies. They have better pitching and a better lineup. The Giants just haven't played up to their capabilities, whereas the Rockies are a team that, on paper, projected to be one of the worst in the NL—and that's exactly what they have been. Kyle Harrison gets the start tonight, to be followed by Jordan Hicks and Keaton Winn. The Giants should have the advantage in every game given their superior roster, but baseball is a crazy game and Coors Field makes it even crazier.Predictions for the series are made, and discussion is had about how something has to give. Will the Giants turn things around and break out offensively in the most lively offensive park in the sport? Or will the SF Giants' struggles continue and will they be the first team to lose a series to the Rockies in 2024? For the Giants' sake, things have gotten so ugly recently that they need to play better with a sense of real urgency and timeliness.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants are suddenly playing awful baseball. After losing two of three in Boston, the Giants were swept in a four-game series in Philadelphia. The SF Giants' offense can't get anything going, and they continue to allow way too many runs. It doesn't help that the Giants lost both of their catchers in this series. Patrick Bailey—arguably the Giants' best position player—is on the concussion IL. The day after Bailey's injury, Giants catcher Tom Murphy sustained a knee injury. Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz took over as the catchers on the Giants' roster. Mason Black was also added to the SF Giants' roster in a much more positive development. He started today's game and was crisp early on before losing command and giving up several runs later in the outing. Nevertheless, it was a debut with some positives for Black, but a series to forget—and a costly one at that—for the reeling San Francisco Giants.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants couldn't avoid the sweep at Citizens Bank Park, falling today to the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1. Mason Black made his anticipated debut for the San Francisco Giants, and had a mixed bag of results. After four solid innings, he fell apart in the fifth inning, surrendering five hits and four runs in the one inning alone. Three of those runs came on another Bryce Harper three-run home run. With the loss, the San Francisco Giants fall to 15-21 on the season and just 6-14 on the road.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/MLB and get $20 off your first fix LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

The San Francisco Giants look flat out terrible right now as they dropped their third consecutive game to the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, at Citizen Bank Park. The ace Logan Webb was on the mound for this one but struggled for his second consecutive start, as he gave up five runs in four innings of work. The San Francisco Giants had opportunities to score with runners in scoring position and less than two outs in both in the 7th and 8th innings, but both times they failed to scratch across a run. The San Francisco Giants have now lost five of their last six games.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/MLB and get $20 off your first fix LinkedInRight now, you can try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and get a sixty-day free trial at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDON. PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

The San Francisco Giants fell to the Philadelphia Phillies 14-3 at Citizen Bank Park on a very rainy day. The rain seemed to significantly hinder the San Francisco Giants playing ability both in the field and at the plate, while the Philadelphia Phillies looked like they were playing a version of backyard baseball or home run derby like kids in the rain. Keaton Winn couldn't get out of the first inning and the bullpen didn't do much better. Randy Rodriguez made his MLB debut and provided a lone bright spot for the Giants.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.

The San Francisco Giants had so many opportunities to win last night's game. But time and time again, the Giants sustained self-inflicted wounds and lost by one run to the red-hot Phillies. Jorge Soler, in particular, failed to come through in two huge bases-loaded situations. Soler's season-long struggles have certainly cost the SF Giants, and the offense as a whole just hasn't been able to get things going. Many Giants players, like Soler, aren't performing up to career norms as of yet. Meanwhile, the SF Giants' defense was also costly last night. Matt Chapman made a couple of rare mistakes, and catcher Tom Murphy, replacing Patrick Bailey—who exited the game with blurry vision—dropped what should've been strike three to end the inning and allowed Trea Turner to advance two bases and score from second on the passed ball.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants fell to the Philadelphia Phillies today 4-3 at Citizens Bank Park. Jordan Hicks was shaky in what might have been his worst start of the 2024 season, only pitching four innings and surrendering four runs. Jorge Soler had multiple opportunities to do some damage for the San Francisco Giants, as he came to the plate twice with the bases loaded and failed to come up with an impact hit both times.

Today's win in Boston was huge for the San Francisco Giants. After losing the first two games of the series, the Giants needed a win to avoid a sweep to begin this 10-game road trip, and Kyle Harrison, the bullpen, and the SF Giants' defense delivered. Ryan Walker, Erik Miller, Tyler Rogers, and Camilo Doval each gave the Giants clean, stress-free innings. Jung Hoo Lee and Nick Ahmed made sensational plays.And SF Giants rookie Kyle Harrison continued to establish himself as a reliable force, dare we say, in the middle of the Giants' rotation. Harrison worked his way into and out of trouble. He walked five but struck out seven, and the 22-year-old has an ERA of 3.79 on the season. Logan Webb, Harrison, Keaton Winn, and Jordan Hicks have all been real positives for the Giants in 2024, and each is under team control for 4-6 seasons.League average offense is down, and it's worth pointing out in the context of the San Francisco Giants' offense. The league average batting average entering today? It was .239—exactly the same as the Giants' .239 batting average entering play. It's critical to know what league average is before we can make any effort to evaluate a team or a player (and batting average is far from the most important offensive statistic anyway). Lee's unlucky season—which continued today with a crushed ball to center being caught—is also discussed.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants narrowly avoided a series sweep against the Boston Red Sox, picking up a 3-1 win at Fenway Park. Kyle Harrison pitched well despite struggling with his accuracy early in this one, giving up just one run over five innings of work. Mike Yastrzemski gave both San Francisco Giants fans and Boston Red Sox fans a feel-good moment with a solo home run in the second inning.

Erik Miller started a bullpen game for the San Francisco Giants, but Daulton Jeffries was the bulk starter and struggled again in his second outing of the season. He surrendered four runs in less than three innings of work. The San Francisco Giants offense continues to look bewildered at the plate, mustering just five hits in this one.

Blake Snell is currently on the San Francisco Giants' injured list, yet the Giants aren't relying on one of their top young starters to fill his place. Daulton Jefferies got lit up in the first series of the year and appears poised to pitch tonight. Sean Hjelle is also on the active roster, while Black continues to dominate in Triple-A. Should the Giants add Black to the roster—forcing a 40-man move—instead of relying on the likes of Jefferies and Hjelle? Switching gears, Tom Murphy has been the SF Giants' least productive player thus far. Is there any cause for concern? Was his two-year deal a mistake?Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Losing Blake Snell to an injury was ominous, but the San Francisco Giants' rotation has more than picked up the slack. Kyle Harrison and Keaton Winn, two of the Giants' young starters, made excellent starts and helped propel the SF Giants to back-to-back series wins. Meanwhile, the Giants' offense has continued to struggle to find its groove, with key players like Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler yet to fully get it going, but some others have picked up the slack in the meantime. Mike Yastrzemski, for example, has been hot as of late. He homered in the SF Giants' win on Sunday, and he heads back to Fenway Park for the second time in his MLB career as the Giants take on the Red Sox starting Tuesday night in Boston.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates today 3-2 as they closed out their longest homestand of the season with a win at Oracle Park. Keaton Winn drew the start for the San Francisco Giants in this one, and delivered yet another excellent performance, collecting his third win of the season. Mike Yastrzemski and Thairo Estrada hit back-to-back solo home runs in this one to give Keaton Winn some much-needed run support. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.

The San Francisco Giants fell tonight to the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 in their first extra-innings affair of the 2024 season. Though the squad failed to pick up the win, Jordan Hicks was dominant again on the hill for the San Francisco Giants as he posted a season-high nine strikeouts over six innings pitched. After the Pittsburgh Pirates took the lead on back-to-back home runs in the top of the 10th inning, Jorge Soler brought the Giants within one run after launching a bomb of his own over the left field fence. The San Francisco Giants will attempt to get back in the win column tomorrow in the rubber match of this three-game series. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.

The fireworks show started early for the San Francisco Giants. In a scoreless game in the bottom of the ninth, SF Giants catcher Patrick Bailey, fast becoming a mainstay in this league and perhaps even a legitimate star, blasted a three-run home run off Pirates closer David Bednar to deliver an exhilarating win for the Giants. This followed what was obviously a great pitching performance all the way through for the Giants. Kyle Harrison was excellent over six shutout innings in what was his best start of the season. Him stepping up in the absence of Blake Snell would go a very long way for the Giants. SF Giants relievers Ryan Walker and Camilo Doval escaped huge jams in the late innings to keep the game tied at zero-zero. Walker loaded the bases with two outs but got out of it on a strikeout that hit the foot of the hitter. Doval allowed runners to reach second and third with no outs and he managed to escape with a strikeout and a 1-2-3 double play. Overall, it was a huge, explosive win for the San Francisco Giants.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants pulled this one out by the skin of their teeth, as beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 on a Patrick Bailey three-run, walk-off home run. Kyle Harrison pitched a gem tonight, tossing six scoreless innings and fanning five. Camilo Doval made it interesting in the ninth inning after loading the bases with only one out, but managed to get for San Francisco Giants prospect Brian Reynolds to ground into a double play to get out of the jam.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDash Get all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.

The San Francisco Giants looked like they had the makings of one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Logan Webb finished second in Cy Young voting in 2023 and is on a career-best run. Blake Snell, last year's NL Cy Young winner, sat right behind Webb in the Giants' rotation. But Snell is injured—a left adductor strain—and suddenly the Giants' rotation, already without Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray, is much thinner than it was. Hopefully Snell doesn't miss too much time, otherwise the SF Giants could endure more rough stretches than anticipated from their staff. Overall, pitching has actually been the SF Giants' biggest issue in 2024, so this news doesn't bode well. The position player group has been healthy and solid, Logan Webb, Jordan Hicks, and Keaton Winn have been very good—and Kyle Harrison has huge upside—but it's unclear if the Giants' pitching will keep the team afloat until players return from injuries.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants fell to the New York Mets today by a score of 8-2 in the final game of their three-game set. But more importantly, high-profile free agent signing Blake Snell hit the 15-day injured list, which forced the San Francisco Giants to start Ryan Walker in a bullpen game (shoutout the Gabe Kapler regime). The loss foils the San Francisco Giants opportunity to pick up their first series sweep of the season. They have an off day tomorrow before starting their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.  DoorDash Get all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.

The San Francisco Giants squared off against a hot Mets team on Monday night with their No. 5 starter on the mound, and the Giants looked every bit the part of a team that can play with anyone. SF Giants starter Keaton Winn dominated New York over six innings, lowering his ERA to 3.54. The SF Giants have somewhat struggled out of the gates in 2024, but they're starting to play much better baseball. The Mets were a good test, and the test was passed in Game 1. The Giants' bats, cold to start the season, got to Jose Quintana and the game was mostly one-sided until things got slightly weird with Camilo Doval in the 9th. Speaking of Doval, the Giants' bullpen is new-look these last two days. Nick Avila was optioned as Luke Jackson returned from the IL, and today Mitch White was officially added to the 26-man roster with Landen Roupp being optioned to clear space.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants picked up another win at Oracle Park tonight, this time defeating the New York Mets, 5-2. Keaton Winn pitched a gem in this one, lasting 6 inning and giving up just one run and posting six strikeouts. The San Francisco Giants offense also gave Keaton Winn some run support for the second consecutive game, as he picks up his second win of the season.

The San Francisco Giants' series against the Arizona Diamondbacks was full of ups and downs, much like the Giants' 2024 season to date. There was good and there was bad. Ultimately, the SF Giants need to start winning home series and to crawl above the .500 mark if they want to be truly competitive, which should come with time. Logan Webb dominated in the first game of the series, and the Giants played a clean game in Game 3. In between, there was an ugly 17-1 loss and a loss in the finale that could've been won. The Giants traded for pitcher Mitch White and placed Alex Cobb on the 60-day IL after he experienced another setback. White was once quite good for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he is expected to join the active roster, which will require a corresponding move (perhaps optioning Sean Hjelle).Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants dropped the final game of their four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-3. With the loss, the San Francisco Giants split the series 2-2, still searching for a string of consistent wins. The bottom of the lineup for the San Francisco Giants has shown some positive signs in this series, and we saw it again today with Mike Yastrzemski hitting a two-run home run. Jordan Hicks was struggling to find his control on the mound but he managed to pitch around traffic on the basepaths and finished with a decent outing on the mound. Bob Melvin was ejected as he was clearly upset with multiple questionable calls on balls and strikes. Monopoly GO! Get in the game and join your friends.

The San Francisco Giants bounced back from their terrible loss last night with a win today over the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-3. It was Patrick Bailey bobblehead day at Oracle Park and Patrick Bailey showed up in a big way for the San Francisco Giants, going 4-4 at the dish with a two-run splash hit. He finished a triple shy of the cycle. This might be the greatest performance by a Giant on their bobblehead day, and on 4/20, a special day in San Francisco. The win gives the San Francisco Giants a 2-1 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the series, and now they can do no worse than split this series. PrizePicks Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonmlb and use code lockedonmlb for a first deposit match up to $100!  FanDuel FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook.

The San Francisco Giants laid their biggest egg of the season exactly one day after playing their best game of the season, falling tonight to the Arizona Diamondbacks 17-1 at Oracle Park. Blake Snell has yet to look like the guy who won the Cy Young award last season, but that is to be expected as he missed all of spring training. The San Francisco Giants bullpen surrendered ten runs, and their offense couldn't muster any sort of comeback as their only run came on a solo shot to left by Jorge Soler.

The San Francisco Giants started off the homestand the right way with a 5-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park. Logan Webb was dominant on the mound, as he blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks over seven innings of work. Webb set a new career high, retiring 19 consecutive batters on his way to the win. Wilmer Flores and Mike Yastrzemski came up with huge hits late in this one to add on four insurance runs. Nick Ahmed had some nice moments in his revenge game against his former squad. Policygenius Check life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

Defense has been a problem for the San Francisco Giants the past couple of seasons, and it was addressed in several ways this offseason. With that in mind, what do the early numbers say about the 2024 SF Giants' defense? Among the other questions asked and answered on today's edition of the Locked On Giants podcast are: When is the Yaz/Slater experiment ending? Is Luis Matos still the default call up for an injured outfielder? Heliot Ramos has been tearing it up in AAA, and Bob Melvin seemed to like him a lot in spring training. What are your thoughts on Jung Hoo Lee's potential of a .300 batting average? What have you seen that's positive about Blake Snell? How does Tyler Fitzgerald compare to other utility players around the league? Specifically former Giant Mauricio Dubon and Tommy Edman who you expressed interest in trading for in the past.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

This was a series that the San Francisco Giants really needed to win. Not necessarily in terms of making or breaking whether they'd make the playoffs, but for early-season morale. Nearly 20 games into the season, the Giants were still searching for their first series win.The Marlins, meanwhile, have been a team in free fall. And the SF Giants made sure that they kept them in their place.

The San Francisco Giants won the rubber match against the Miami Marlins 3-1 on their final day of the Florida road trip. Keaton Winn has been sharp on the mound in this early season for the San Francisco Giants, and today was no different. Winn gave up only one run on four hits over six innings of work. The bullpen did their job and didn't allow a single runner from the Miami Marlins to cross home plate after Keaton Winn's exit. Thairo Estrada stayed hot at the plate, as he picked up two more hits, including an RBI double. Giants return home after this game for a ten-game homestand. Monopoly GO! Get in the game and join your friends.

The San Francisco Giants would've probably been okay had they not won last night's game, but it sure felt like a big momentum swing type of win because of he way they came back. The Giants' offense has largely struggled in the early season, and after falling behind 3-0, it seemed like the SF Giants were destined for another loss and an ugly 6-11 record. But Thairo Estrada, Jung Hoo Lee, Wilmer Flores, and others came up huge for the Giants when it mattered most. Meanwhile, starting pitching Kyle Harrison kept the Giants in the game despite giving up a few runs, and the bullpen shut it down. There was confusion with Bob Melvin summoning Camilo Doval—who wasn't warming up—and that led to the Marlins manager's ejection. But Doval got loose in a hurry and recorded a much-needed four-out save for the Giants.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants picked up a much-needed win against a struggling Miami Marlins squad, 4-3. It is the San Francisco Giants fourth comeback win of the season. Kyle Harrison pitched well and picked up his second win of the season. Camillo Doval made it eventful, but he slammed the door shut in the ninth inning and earned his second save of the season. A Wilmer Flores pinch-hit RBI ended up being the difference in this one. Monopoly GO! Get in the game and join your friends.

The San Francisco Giants are not the third-worst team in the National League. Their 6-10 record may be, but the talent on the team would seem to make the SF Giants fairly easily one of the top half of teams in the NL, or at the very least middle of the pack. No, the Giants aren't off to the start they hoped for, but no, it doesn't mean these 16 games define them whatsoever.Hitters like Matt Chapman, Wilmer Flores, Mike Yastrzemski, and Austin Slater are producing at far below their career averages. Jung Hoo Lee and Chapman have been particularly unlucky (their expected numbers are way better than their actual results). Quite simply, 16 games is not nearly enough to judge a baseball team. The same goes for certain SF Giants pitchers.Blake Snell was lit up in his return to Tampa, and after two Giants starts, his ERA sits near 13.00. Obviously, that's not who Blake Snell is. When all is said and done, his season ERA might end up about 10 points lower. It's worth pointing out that last season Snell had a 5.40 ERA through his first nine starts/45 innings of the season, then he went on to have a 1.25 ERA over his final 23 starts en route to a near unanimous NL Cy Young Award. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants offense showed up in a big way at Tropicana Field as they posted a season-high 11 runs in their win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Thairo Estrada, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler, and LaMonte Wade Jr all hit home runs in this one, a welcomed sign for the San Francisco Giants who had gone seven games without a home run before today's matchup. Logan Webb was his usual dominant self on the mound, giving the San Francisco Giants seven strong innings of work and only allowing one run. Ibotta Right now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 just for trying Ibotta by using the code LOCKEDONMLB when you download the app.  FanDuel FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook.

The San Francisco Giants lose a frustrating one one the road to the Tampa Bay Rays, falling 2-1. Tyler Fitzgerald found himself on third base as the game-tying run with less than two outs in the ninth inning, but Jung Hoo Lee and Nick Ahmed both failed to drive him in. This was the story of the whole game for the San Francisco Giants, as they were 0-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding nine runners on base in the process. Giants baseball is back to being torture, for now. Ibotta Right now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 just for trying Ibotta by using the code LOCKEDONMLB when you download the app. FanDuel FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook.

The San Francisco Giants have generally struggled out of the gates, although they've had their moments. Several veteran players have yet to hit their stride at the plate, and multiple pitchers, including staff ace Logan Webb, haven't found their normal performance yet. Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater are often brought up as candidates to come off the team in order to make room for younger players like Luis Matos and/or Heliot Ramos. How long is the leash for a struggling Yaz/Slater? And what about Nick Ahmed vs. Marco Luciano? Speaking of players not playing to their full potential, what's going on with Giants catcher Patrick Bailey? His throws have been wildly inaccurate in the early season. Is he still and elite defender? Finally, with SF Giants pitcher Jordan Hicks successfully transitioning to the rotation thus far, what will the Giants' pitching staff look like once/if everyone is fully healthy?Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants continued to inexplicably struggle against the Washington Nationals in their latest series, losing two out of three at home. However, if you're going to win one game in a series, it's best to make it the last one—especially with a day off coming up. Jordan Hicks continued his red-hot start to the season, and his seamless transition to a starters' role. The SF Giants have won all three of Hicks' starts, and he's pitched six, seven, and six innings, respectively, in his outings. Hicks has been exceptionally efficient in those outings as well. And importantly, the Giants' offense broke out in the finale against the Nationals. Nick Ahmed and Tyler Fitzgerald were six for six from the bottom of the lineup, and the SF Giants also stole their first bases of the year in the game. This was in stark contrast to the Giants' recent offensive struggles, which came to a head with San Francisco failing to capitalized on a bases-loaded, no out situation in the bottom of the ninth in a two-run loss to the Nats on Tuesday night.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants closed out their first homestand of the season with a 7-1 win over the Washington Nationals. The seven runs the San Francisco Giants scored today marks the first time the team scratched across more than three runs at Oracle Park this season. Jordan Hicks pitched well again today, surrendering only one run on his way to his second win of the season. PrizePicks Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonmlb and use code lockedonmlb for a first deposit match up to $100! eBay Motors From brakes to exhaust kits and beyond, eBay Motors has over 122 million parts to keep your ride-or-die alive.

Blake Snell's San Francisco Giants debut didn't go as planned. Snell himself was not at his best, although his strikeout and walk rates were roughly in line with what Giants fans should expect. But Snell threw far too many pitches and only lasted three innings, while the Nationals' pesky offense, which has haunted the Giants in recent seasons, put hits and runs on the board. Blake Snell's Giants debut is discussed in detail with Locked On Giants POSTCAST host Erik Engle and Locked On Giants host Ben Kaspick.Afterwards, the SF Giants' rough 4-7 start is discussed. The Giants' offense has been MLB's worst by wRC+ ever since their series in Los Angeles started about a week ago. On the season, the San Francisco Giants haven't really pitched or hit well. There are a few exceptions, such as Jordan Hicks, Ryan Walker, Michael Conforto, and some others, but all-in-all the Giants rank near the bottom in most pitching and hitting categories. It is a small sample but one the SF Giants should be able to fix against a team like the Nationals, but it hasn't worked out that way ... for years.The Nationals have been a different team vs. the Giants than they have been vs. everyone else since the start of the 2022 season. Most notably, the Nats have better than a .350 average on balls in play vs. the Giants since 2022, whereas it's .291 vs. the rest of the league. As such, Washington has a 120 wRC+ vs. the Giants since '22 and a 91 wRC+ vs. every other team. It's an inexplicable trend that seems more fluky than anything. The beauty of baseball, especially early in the season, is that every day is a new opportunity to get back on track. The Giants could still win this series and come away feeling good if they can put together a couple of wins to close out this homestand.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Blake Snell's debut for the San Francisco Giants was spoiled, as they fell 8-1 to the Washington Nationals at Oracle Park. Blake Snell only lasted three innings and needed a ton of pitches to get those nine outs, surrendering three runs in the process. The San Francisco Giants offense continues to slump, especially at the bottom of the order. The San Francisco Giants will need to start hitting if they want to win some games. PrizePicks Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonmlb and use code lockedonmlb for a first deposit match up to $100! Gametime Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.

It absolutely was not pretty, but the San Francisco Giants took two out of three from the Padres and ended up going 4-6 through a tough opening stretch to start the 2024 season. The Giants went 4-3 against the Padres and 0-3 against the Dodgers to start the year. In this series, despite winning two of three, the Giants made mistakes in every series that could've cost them the game.Michael Conforto got overly aggressive on the bases (again) and took the SF Giants out of a rally in the series opener. Jordan Hicks, who was otherwise brilliant over seven innings, threw a ball into center field on what should've been an inning-ending double play but instead led to a run. Jung Hoo Lee started off the middle game of the series by letting a routine fly ball drop in front of him as he lost it in the sun.But the Giants rallied for a walk-off win in the home opener, courtesy of a struggling Thairo Estrada, and they pieced together an ugly but effective rally in the bottom of the eighth in the finale. Wilmer Flores had a huge pinch-hit single (what else is new?), Tyler Fitzgerald went first to third on a bloop hit to right by Jorge Soler, testing the cannon of Fernando Tatis Jr., and Fitzgerald scored on the second costly error of the game by Ha-Seong Kim on what should've been a rally-killing, inning-ending double play.Overall the SF Giants' offense has struggled to start the season, but track records and things like a low team batting average on balls in play suggest that better results will come soon enough. After facing two really tough teams in their first 10 games, the Giants now welcome the lowly Washington Nationals into town. Hopefully the Giants are able to take advantage, and it certainly helps that they start the series with Blake Snell making his San Francisco Giants debut on Monday night.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants eighth-inning rally and great pitching fueled the club to a win over the San Diego Padres in the rubber match of this three-game series. The series win is the first for the San Francisco Giants in the 2024 MLB season. Logan Webb scattered 10 hits across seven innings of work, and limited the San Diego Padres to just two runs. Matt Chapman drove in the go-ahead run after Tyler Fitzgerald scored on an error by Ha Seong Kim to tie the game. The bullpen did the rest with Camilo Doval slamming the door in the ninth inning and earned his 70th career save. PrizePicks Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonmlb and use code lockedonmlb for a first deposit match up to $100! Gametime Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.

The San Francisco Giants were completely shut down by Michael King and the San Diego Padres, falling 4-0 tonight at Oracle Park. The home loss is the San Francisco Giants' first of the season, and marks their first shutout as well. Keaton Winn pitched well despite surrendering four runs, but the San Francisco Giants' bats were quiet all night long. The bullpen showed some things to be excited about in their three shutdown innings, and it is time to have a discussion about Mike Yastrzemski. Robinhood Robinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

The San Francisco Giants took down the San Diego Padres in dramatic fashion, as Thairo Estrada laced a double off the wall to score Matt Chapman for a walk-off win in the San Francisco Giants home opener. Jordan Hicks continued to dazzle on the mound as he set a new career high with seven inning pitched and only surrendered one run.

The San Francisco Giants had a nice opening series against the Padres, splitting the four-game set while exhibiting strong offense and starting pitching performances (outside of the blowout finale). Now, the Giants and Padres are set to meet again as the SF Giants kick off their home schedule. Locked On Giants and Locked On Padres recap the series that was and the series that's to come.What have we learned about these two teams so far? The Giants were swept in LA following their solid series in San Diego, so things aren't looking as rosy as they enter their home opener with an unsightly 2-5 record. But, as discussed on yesterday's episode, there's no reason to panic and the Giants only figure to get strong as the season goes along, with Blake Snell returning Monday, Alex Cobb likely shortly after that, and Robbie Ray lurking around the All-Star break.What will happen when these two teams square off in San Francisco for the second time in three series (before not meeting again until September)? Jordan Hicks, Keaton Winn, and Logan Webb will face off against the back three in the Padres' rotation, and the SF Giants, playing in front of their home fans for the first time, should have the edge in the series and both hosts predict San Francisco taking two out of three. This on the heels of Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes boldly and completely incorrectly predicting the Padres would sweep the Giants in the opening series.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants' 2024 season started out promisingly with the Giants winning two of their first three games. The Giants were then blown out in the series finale in San Diego, and ultimately swept in LA by the absolutely loaded Dodgers. The SF Giants lost three winnable games on this trip: Opening Day (when they took a lead into the bottom of the seventh) and the final two games in LA, both 5-4 losses.So far in the young season, the SF Giants pitching staff is pitching at unsustainably poor levels. Part of that simply is a byproduct of facing two potent offenses on the road. Part of it is just randomness. One this is certain, though: a 2-5 road trip is not ideal, but it's not cause for alarm or panic. The Giants' offense was steady and solid, scoring four runs or more in all but one of their first seven games. However, the pitching allowed 6.6 runs a game on average, and that's going to make things tough no matter what.Down on the farm, Marco Luciano and Luis Matos have started out the season hot, which is a great sign. Both Luciano and Matos are potentially huge parts of the  San Francisco Giants' future (and perhaps present sooner rather than later), so it's good to see them start their respective seasons on the right foot. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
