Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants finally drop one to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it came down to a familiar formula: dominant pitching on the other side and a costly mistake at the wrong time. Shohei Ohtani shoved, while a brutal baserunning error from Willy Adames shifted momentum — even as he dismissed the moment postgame. We break down what went wrong, why this loss stands out despite the recent run,...

The San Francisco Giants' recent thrusting momentum was stalled today as they were shutout by Shohei Ohtani in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Robbie Ray surrendered back-to-back home runs to Santiago Espinal and Mookie Betts in the third inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers never looked back. The two runs, plus the two that were tacked on later, were more than enough for Shohei Ohtani, who...

The San Francisco Giants are starting to roll, winning 4 of their last 5 and showing signs that things might finally be coming together. We break down another strong performance, including a wild night from Eric Haase, who nearly left the yard three times and continues to fuel a surprising trend behind the plate. The numbers are hard to ignore — the Giants’ offensive production at catcher has been...

The San Francisco Giants blasted three home runs tonight as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers for the fourth time in five games this season. Eric Haase blasted two home runs, and Harrison Bader also pitched in a homer of his own. Tony Vitello's bullpen management was excellent tonight, and starting pitcher Adrian Houser rose to the occasion and picked up the first win of his career against the Los...

The San Francisco Giants have quietly won 3 of 4, and for the first time in a while, there are real signs of life. We break down a gritty outing from Trevor McDonald, a lineup that finally showed some punch, and whether this recent stretch actually means something — especially against a Los Angeles Dodgers team they’ve matched up well with so far this season. There’s also growing intrigue around R...

The San Francisco Giants utilized 12 hits to take down the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-3 tonight at Chavez Ravine. Willy Adames and Rafael Devers reached base a combined total of six times tonight and drove in a combined five runs. Is this the beginning of the end of the slump for both players? Plus, Trevor McDonald delivered another solid start for the San Francisco Giants tonight in Logan Webb's stead...

The San Francisco Giants just won a series… but somehow that’s not the story. Instead, the conversation has quickly shifted to what comes next — and whether bigger changes are already on the horizon. We break down why this win isn’t moving the needle for fans, and what it says about the current state of the team. New reporting from Bob Nightengale suggests the Giants are already looking for ways t...

Trade buzz is heating up around the San Francisco Giants, and one name that keeps coming up is Luis Arraez. According to Susan Slusser, a deal is still very much a possibility — but would moving a bat like Arraez actually fix what’s going on with this offense? We break down the latest trade chatter and what it says about where the Giants are as an organization right now. At the same time, there ar...

What’s next for the San Francisco Giants? With tough matchups looming against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Dodgers, the pressure is only building on a team that’s already struggling to find consistency. We break down whether real changes could be coming — from potential coaching shake-ups to roster decisions — and who in the organization is actually “safe” right now. We also get into the...

The San Francisco Giants failed to produce at the plate again today as they fell 5-1 to the San Diego Padres, marking their third consecutive series loss. Adrian Houser pitched surprisingly well in the loss before both the bullpen and the defense imploded, allowing four runs in the final three frames. With all the disappointment in 2026, the expectations for this team have dramatically shifted. Pl...

The San Francisco Giants continue to spiral, falling to 14-23 after another series loss to the San Diego Padres. With the worst run differential in baseball at -42, this stretch is starting to look historically bad — even compared to the 2017 season. We break down what went wrong, including another quiet offensive showing and why this team continues to struggle to put together complete games. Ther...

The San Francisco Giants' pitching got rocked today early and often, as the San Diego Padres chased Logan Webb from the game after just four innings in a 10-5 beatdown. Logan Webb's secondary pitches were not working for him at all today, which caused him to rely on his sinker entirely too much. If you're looking for silver linings (pretty much the only thing the San Francisco Giants can offer lat...

It’s Trevor McDonald time for the San Francisco Giants, and the tone around this team is starting to shift. Before the game, Tony Vitello challenged his group, calling out the narratives surrounding the team and demanding more edge — and the message may be starting to land. We break down Vitello’s candid comments, what they say about the current state of the clubhouse, and why this moment feels im...

The San Francisco Giants put their rotten road trip behind them as they beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 today at Oracle Park. Trevor McDonald made his first start of the 2026 season with the big-league club and dazzled with eight strikeouts over seven innings while only surrendering one run on two hits. At the dish, Casey Schmitt and Luis Arraez continued to produce for the San Francisco Giants, and...

Things are starting to spiral for the San Francisco Giants. A six-game losing streak has quickly turned a shaky start into something much more concerning, with the offense going completely cold and the team now trending toward a worst-case outcome if things don’t change soon. We break down what’s gone wrong, why the hitting has completely disappeared, and whether this stretch is just a slump or so...

The San Francisco Giants dropped their sixth consecutive game today after the Tampa Bay Rays walked them off in the 10th inning to solidify a winless road trip for the San Francisco Giants. This was also the third time during the road trip that the San Francisco Giants lost via walk-off, an almost impressively awful feat. Tyler Mahle pitched well enough to get the win, but the offense going 1-11 s...

The San Francisco Giants dropped their fifth consecutive game today after falling to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 at Tropicana Field. Landen Roupp didn't have his usual dominant stuff tonight as he was chased from his start after giving up four runs in just 4.1 innings of work. But the real issue today was, again, the San Francisco Giants' offense and their ability to produce extra-base hits. While they...

The San Francisco Giants entered today still searching for their first win of the road trip, and they will need to keep looking as they fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 3-0. Despite generating more hits than the Tampa Bay Rays, the San Francisco Giants only mustered one at bat with a runner in scoring position, and were shutout for the second time on the road trip. Today's loss also featured Robbie Ray...

The San Francisco Giants put together their most frustrating day of baseball in the 2026 season to date as they dropped both games in today's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies despite leading in the 9th inning in both games. Adrian Houser started off the second game of the doubleheader by giving up back-to-back home runs to Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber, but the San Francisco Giants...

The San Francisco Giants were two outs away from a win, but Ryan Walker couldn't shut down the bottom of the Philadelphia Phillies' order as he gave up both the tying and winning runs in the same frame, ultimately resulting in a 3-2 loss. While this was Walker's second blown save in April, this was his ninth blown save since the start of last season, a concerning trend for the right-handed closer....

The San Francisco Giants are navigating a stretch that could quietly define where this season is headed. With pitching continuing to surprise and the offense still searching for consistency, Jeff Young joins the show to break down what’s real, what’s noise, and what needs to change. We dive into the Giants’ unexpected strengths on the mound, ongoing hitting struggles, and whether this team is clos...

The San Francisco Giants are back in the loss column, but this one felt somewhat predictable once the Philadelphia Phillies made a managerial change and came out with urgency. I’m not overreacting yet — we saw a similar bounce-back spot from Philadelphia last time these teams met. Still, the same issue keeps showing up: at this point in the season, it feels safe to assume there will be at least on...

The San Francisco Giants couldn't get anything going offensively today as they were nearly no-hit in their 7-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Jesús Luzardo has struggled to start the season, but the Philadelphia Phillies starter got back on track against this inconsistent San Francisco Giants offense. Tyler Mahle got roughed up yet again in his sixth start of the season,...

Tony Vitello deserves some credit. After a rough opening stretch, the San Francisco Giants have gone 7-3 over their last 10 games and are starting to stabilize. The bullpen has improved, the club is stacking series wins, and the early panic has cooled off. Now comes the bigger question: where do the Giants actually stand in the National League picture? We take a way-too-early look at the standings...

The San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins in today's rubber match 6-3 at Oracle Park, and with the win, have now won three series in a row. Landen Roupp looked like an ace on the hill again today as he held the Miami Marlins to just three runs over 7.2 innings, even retiring 18 consecutive batters at one point in this game. Casey Schmitt launched another massive home run, Jung Hoo Lee collec...
