McCovey Chronicles

Giants perform their civic duty It’s good to know your role.

The Giants executed their Tuesday job to perfection. Unfortunately, that job was to be Team USA's appetizer.

Team USA had one more pitcher they wanted to tune up

gotta love spring/exhibition baseball. giants trail 15-1 after 9 innings ... to the 10th we go!

We're at the funny part of the game ... Giants prospect Dakota Jordan just knocked in Giants prospect Charlie Szykowny for Team USA against the Giants

Blade Tidwell has had a fantastic spring, but a rude introduction to star MLB talent: First batter he faces, Alex Bregman, takes him deep

Only four Giants players had a harder-hit ball than that in 2026

Bryce Eldridge just smoked a fly ball 111.9-mph off of Paul Skenes. Unfortunately was caught, but yeesh. impressive stuff

Giants score against Paul Skenes in the first inning! Leadoff double by Adames, then a pair of productive groundouts from Chapman and Bailey

Tough start by Adrian Houser against the star-studded Team USA. Witt with a 99-mph single, then Harper a 110.3-mph double, then Judge a 108.5-mph single.

A tale of two pitchers Landen Roupp shined; Carson Whisenhunt, not so much.

Two young pitchers trying to cement roles. Two very different outcomes.

Giants 12th home run of the spring: Buddy Kennedy!

A go-ahead solo shot in the 9th inning!

Giants 11th home run of the spring: Nate Furman!

Opposite-field home run for someone with just 14 career homers in 194 Minor League games

RHP. Landen Roupp

Here are SS Josuar Gonzalez and 2B Gavin Kilen teaming up to turn a double play:

Belated: Giants 10th home run of spring: Jean Carlos Sio! Minor Leaguer in his first spring PA!

Belated, but: the Giants 9th home run of spring is a grand slam by Eric Haase!

Giants management:

Glen Kuiper back in Giants broadcast booth three years after on-air racial slur SF Giants inexplicably hiring Glen Kuiper to broadcast team

There's no reason for Glen Kuiper to call games for the Giants this year. Let @seankeane.bsky.social tell you why

Giants do, indeed, Beat LA 5-2.

the first BEAT LA of the season

I appreciate no one correcting me and pointing out that it was a three-run homer lol

I'd say those estimates are an inch and 50 pounds off

i've said it before and i'll say it again: it would not even remotely surprise me if NRI Gregory Santos is the Giants best reliever this year

Daniel Susac just got robbied of a home run. Not by the outfielder, but by the lack of replay review in spring. Instead, it's a double.

The Giants 8th home run of the spring: a grand slam by Victor Bericoto!!!!

He's the first Giant to have multiple homers this spring.

not insignificant

Heliot Ramos with his second double of the day. He now has four extra-base hits this spring, all four of which have come against righties, and three of which have been opposite-field hits.

Sorry, 7th!

One each for Adames, Ramos, Chapman, Eldridge, Bader, Matos, and Bericoto

Heliot Ramos with his third extra-base hit of the spring, and they've all been impressive: in the opener, an opposite-field double off of All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz; yesterday, a towering home run off MLB veteran Victor Vodnik; and today, a double off All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

All righties!

Hopefully we don't have to find out, but if Harrison Bader has to miss time, I'm curious to find out how the Giants handle the outfield. Do they put Lee back in center so Mates or Encarnación can play right? Or do they stick with defense and go with Gilbert or McCray?
