The Giants have a good but potentially confusing problem brewing in their rotation

6 days ago | nytimes.com | Grant Brisbee

Now that the Giants are in the middle of a one-game losing streak, it's time to talk about their potential flaws. They were on a 117-win pace before the series finale against the Phillies, but they're at a 110-win pace now, so let's get the microscopes out. Except this concern doesn't require a microscope. It's right there in the statistical record.
It's still early, but the Giants are rolling past their opponents in impressive fashion

After an 11-4 win against the Phillies on Wednesday night, the 2025 Giants are at exactly 100 runs scored on the season. They're averaging 5.55 runs per game now, which is third-most in baseball, behind only the Cubs and Yankees. Enough of their hitters are still struggling to justify an article centered around those struggles. It's a complicated team. Also, by most indications, a pretty good one.

On Monday morning, Tyler Fitzgerald had a .237/.293/.289 slash line. His OPS was .582, just nine points above Johnnie LeMaster's career OPS with the Giants. If you like your statistics to be fancier, Fitzgerald's wRC+ was 72, which would have been the second-worst in baseball last season. After Monday evening, Fitzgerald was hitting .286/.333/.476. His OPS jumped to .809, more than 10 points higher than the career marks of Craig Biggio and Ryne Sandberg, both Hall of Famers.
자이언츠가 기다리던 슈퍼스타 이정후 (the atheletics 칼럼) : MLBPARK

‌세례요한은 처형되기 직전 몰래 예수에게 제자를 보냅니다. ‘당신이 정녕 우리가 기다리던 그분이 맞습니까?’오늘 디 어스레틱 기자의 칼럼은 성경의 그 장면을 연상시키는군요. 이정후는 과연 우리가 그토록 찾고 기다리던 슈퍼스타인가? 좀 길고 칼럼기사라 쉽게 읽히는 글은 아니라도 재미있는 내용이 많이 있습니다. --------[이정후는 자이언츠가 그렇게 원했던 슈퍼스타의 모습을 보이고 있다]Jung Hoo Lee is playing like the superstars the Giants have long covetedBy Grant Brisbee, April 14, 2025자이언츠가 지난번 양키 스타디움을 찾았을 때, 그들은 시즌이 시작된 지 단 여섯 개의 투구 만에 플레이오프 경쟁에서 탈락했다. 2023년 개막전 1회 말, 애런 저지는 센터 필드 담장을 넘기는 높은 궤도의 대포알을 날려버렸고, 그것으로 끝이었다.
Jung Hoo Lee is playing like the superstars the Giants have always coveted

The last time the Giants were at Yankee Stadium, they were eliminated from playoff contention six pitches into the season. In the bottom of the first inning on Opening Day 2023, Aaron Judge clobbered a high, arching narrative over the center field wall, and that was it. Technically, the Giants hung around the wild-card race for most of the summer, but there's no way a franchise can recover from that kind of cosmic pantsing.

SAN FRANCISCO - In the bottom of the fourth inning of Wednesday's series finale against the Reds, the Giants were down 5-0 and hadn't scored a run in 20 innings. They were in danger of getting swept at Oracle Park, which is the sort of thing that typically happens only once a season, if it happens at all. Every hard-hit ball seemed to find a glove, but there weren't nearly enough hard-hit balls in the first place. It looked bleak enough to question the entire season to that point.
Reviewing the San Francisco Giants' 2025 City Connect uniforms

2 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Grant Brisbee

The Giants and Nike have announced the new City Connect uniforms for 2025, and, boy, do you have opinions on them. That's just an educated guess. Our simian brains don't like change, so when a baseball team changes anything about their uniform, that means your brain has to process something new for several hours every week. You're still adjusting to Bobby Bonds' kid making the majors, and now you're hit with this? The world needs to slow down.

By Grant Brisbee, Chad Jennings and Levi WeaverEvery week, we ask a selected group of our baseball writers — local and national — to rank the teams from first to worst. Here are the collective results. Two surprising weekends can make a big difference in football, but small samples mean less in baseball. Keep that in mind as you browse our Power Rankings a week and a half into the season. Some of our opinions have changed, but perhaps not as much as each team’s record would suggest.
Buster Posey's team is off to a historically impressive start

2 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Grant Brisbee

Welcome to the first weekly recap of the 2025 season! As always, the goal of these is to explore statistical curiosities, historical tidbits, standout moments, overlooked errata and general silliness from the previous week. If it's not important enough to carry a standalone article, it's probably good enough for the weekly Giants recap, that's my motto. Also, General Silliness threw 322 innings for the 1911 Giants, with a 22-18 record and 32 complete games.
Matt Chapman, Jung Hoo Lee help Giants extend their win streak to 6 games

In San Diego, they call the second home game of the season Tony Gwynn Opening Day. The Padres legend respected the home opener, but the season didn't really start for him until the pomp and circumstance was gone. Anyone can get excited for opening day, the idea goes, but it takes a baseball nut to be just as excited the next day. To translate this into Giants-ese: The fans at the home opener know who Buster Posey is, but the fans at the second game know who Guillermo Quiroz is.

My last tweet will probably be a stupid joke that I scheduled for 2028 and forgot about. My second-to-last tweet will be in support of @NYTimesGuild. Unions rule, and I'm proud to be a part of mine. #IAMTIMESGUILD

I don’t know why Merle Haggard in a Giants bucket hat circa 2006 delights me so much, but it does.
