SF Giants Rotation Shaken: Blake Snell's Injury Impact

SF Giants Rotation Shaken: Blake Snell's Injury Impact
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

Keaton Winn Dominates as SF Giants Look the Part vs. Competitive Mets
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

SF Giants' Rollercoaster: Wild Series Split with D-backs; Mets On Deck

SF Giants' Rollercoaster: Wild Series Split with D-backs; Mets On Deck
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

POSTCAST: Bob Melvin Upset With Umpire, Ejected as Giants Fall to Diamondbacks
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.

POSTCAST: Patrick Bailey Nearly Hits for Cycle in Giants Victory Over Diamondbacks
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.

POSTCAST: Giants Pathetic Showing Against Diamondbacks in 17-1 Loss
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.

Inbox: How Has the SF Giants' Defense Fared So Far?
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

SF Giants Win First Series in Miami Since 2016 Behind Crisp Keaton Winn
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. Kyle Harrison and Keaton Winn, two young Giants starters of the future, put the Giants in position to win the series.The SF Giants' bats remain relatively cold, but sooner or later they will wake up. In the meantime, every night the Giants have a chance to win with their starting pitching. And that's before the likes of Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray return from injuries. Meanwhile, a big series against the division rival D-backs looms.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

POSTCAST: Keaton Winn Sharp as Giants Win Series Against Marlins
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.

SF Giants Come Back, Beat Marlins for Biggest Win of the Season

SF Giants Come Back, Beat Marlins for Biggest Win of the Season
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

The San Francisco Giants Are Better Than This

The San Francisco Giants Are Better Than This
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.

POSTCAST: Giants Offense Explodes for Season-High 11 Runs in Win Over Rays
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.

POSTCAST: Giants Baseball Torture Again After Agonizing 2-1 Loss to Tampa Bay Rays
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.

SF Giants Mailbag: Should Luis Matos be starting over Mike Yastrzemski/Austin Slater?

SF Giants Mailbag: Should Luis Matos be starting over Mike Yastrzemski/Austin Slater?
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:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr🎧 Overcast https://bit.ly/3wqZsbg🎧 Megaphone https://bit.ly/3wGGcXDThe best daily San Francisco Giants podcast.
