Matt Chapman is only in his second season with the San Francisco Giants, but he already loves it. The Giants are Chapman's third MLB team. Now, in the first year of his extension, Chapman seems to be feeling good about his decision based on his comments in a recent interview with Giants broadcaster Glen Kuiper.

For San Francisco Giants super fan Norm Coleman, this Friday marks his 60th Opening Day. "Opening Day is the essence of baseball, and the essence of family and friends." As the Giants prepare to kick off the 2025 season at Oracle Park, Coleman reflects on how much the experience means to him, taking him back to his childhood and the memories of his first Opening Day in 1964.

OK, Buster, go make some memories. “We're in the memory-making business,” Posey said. The great experiment is at home for the first time Friday with Posey in charge of the organization he helped make a champion three times in five years when the Giants face the Seattle Mariners at 1:35 p.m. at Oracle Park.

Justin Verlander isn't ready to answer a question that nearly every pitcher in Major League history has not had to worry about. When he met with local reporters on Monday in Houston, Verlander was asked if he will go into the Hall of Fame in a Detroit Tigers or Houston Astros cap, but he said that's a bridge he will cross down the line. The newest Giants starter punched that ticket to Cooperstown years ago, and now there really only are two questions that remain about his candidacy -- well, aside from the issue of the cap on his plaque. Will the voting be unanimous in a few years, and will Verlander go in as a member of the 300-win club?

The San Francisco Giants' start to the season has been nearly perfect. Five wins in six games validated that the team's red-hot preseason in Arizona was not a red herring. Is the Giants' first three percent of the season sure to be a reflection of the next 97? The Giants are hitting .202 over their first six games — a bottom 10 mark in baseball — and that's barely underrated their expected number of .208.

The Houston Astros run a promotion at Daikin Park that borrows from the old "steal a taco" campaign from the World Series. If an Astro steals a base, every fan will get a coupon for five free wings from Pluckers Wing Bar as they exit the park. There's a funny graphic that flashes across the scoreboard when the wings are clinched, but they had to wait until the second inning of the final game of their series with the Giants to use it. Jeremy Peña drew a one-out walk and successfully snagged second against backup catcher Sam Huff.

SAN JOSE — Orange and black. Green and gold. “Let's go, Giants!” “Let's go, Oakland!” If you closed your eyes – or opened them at the right time – on Wednesday night in San Jose, it almost felt the same. The Bay Bridge Series – or the Battle of the Bay , whichever you prefer – is no more. The now-former Oakland A's made sure of that when they picked up and moved on to Sacramento for a layover that will allegedly end with the final destination of Las Vegas. Flags are flown outside of Excite Ballpark before the Oakland Ballers versus the San Jose Giants game for the “Battle of the Bay 2.0” in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. (Nhat V.

Wilmer Flores homered again and Luis Matos and LaMonte Wade Jr. also went deep to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-3 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep. It's the fourth home run this season for Flores, who hit just four in 71 games last season.
