Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

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.

With two more games before the All-Star break, the San Fr...

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 opportunit...

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.

Despite leaving 11 runners on base, the San Francisco Giants went 4-10 with...

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.

Then Logan Webb took his frustration t...

Is Ber...

Jung Hoo Lee played some phenomenal defense in right field to...
