    4/14-17/2025: San Francisco at Philadelphia

    The San Francisco Giants split their four-game series in Philadelphia. The Giants blew out the Phillies twice, but also got shut out for the fifth time this season, and nearly the sixth time. Jung Hoo Lee went 7-for-14 in the series (including a five-hit game), while Robbie Ray improved to 3-0. The Giants matched their…

    4/11-13/2025: San Francisco at NY Yankees

    A troublesome trend has arisen after the San Francisco Giants were swept in a three-game series at the New York Yankees. The Giants are now just 2-7 on the road this season (and this was the first of a 10-game road trip). It was an entertaining series, at least for the first two games. The…

    4/7-9/2025: Cincinnati at San Francisco

    After winning just one of three at Cincinnati in the season-opening series, the Giants evened things up by taking two of three at home, which puts their overall record at 6-6 after 12 games. Logan Webb and Justin Verlander got their first wins of the season and Matt Chapman drove in six runs while hitting…

    4/4-6/2025: Seattle at San Francisco

    After losing the home opener to the Seattle Mariners, the Giants bounced back to win the next two, picking up their first series win of the season and improving to 4-5. The bats did considerably better in this series, with a total of 30 hits and 14 runs, though nine of them came in one…

    3/31-4/2/2026: San Francisco at Houston

    Scoring runs continued to be an issue in the second series of the season. After plating six runs in the second inning of the opener against the Houston Astros, the San Francisco Giants managed just two runs over the next 25 innings. The Giants won the opener, but the Astros won the next two. After…

    3/27-30/2025: San Francisco at Cincinnati

    The Giants need to hit a lot better than they did in the season’s opening series, or it’s going to be a long year. San Francisco managed just five runs and 13 hits in a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. The Giants struck out 35 times! After losing the first two, they did salvage…

    1989 San Francisco Giants Season Recap

    I rolled 162 games of APBA (basic cards-and-dice) over a 110-day period to replay the 1989 San Francisco Giants season. The dice resulted in an even more successful season for the Giants than they posted in real life, as they finished 13 wins better (105-57, .648, vs. 92-70, .568) in my replay. To sum up,…

    9/29-10/1/1989 San Francisco at San Diego

    One hundred sixty-two games are complete! The Giants limped to the finish line just a bit, dropping another three-game series. But, they at least ended the season with a victory, their 105th in all. Kevin Mitchell hit his 50th and 51st home runs of the year against the Padres. San Francisco finished 13 wins better…

    9/25-27/1989 San Francisco at Los Angeles

    The Giants went 1-2 in the penultimate series of the 1989 season, as a trip to Los Angeles only resulted in a single victory. That was better than real life, where San Francisco was swept. Kevin Mitchell hit his 49th home run and Scott Garrelts picked up his 23rd victory. After 159 games, the Giants…
