TOGETHER WE'RE GIANTS
ALL THE POSTSTHE LATEST GIANTS NEWS, SCORES, & INTERVIEWS
Game Up? Game Up!
Photo credit: BrotherLefty Well, it was a pretty unforgettable Opening Day. As we had our postgame dinner last night, MrLefty and I agreed that San Francisco feels "back" for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Lots of people walking dogs, scootering,...
Last Weekend Before Games That Count
I'm getting very excited. This coming week I'm going to home openers in Sacramento and San Francisco plus getting a Brandon Belt Captain's Hat next Saturday. I bought the River Cats tickets awhile back, thinking that AAA might be my only chance to watch baseball in...
It’s Almost Time!
In an alternate universe, this would be the last weekend before Opening Day, which was originally scheduled for March 31. Instead, teams are still in Arizona or Florida, playing out spring training schedules that were adjusted on the fly. The Giants have ten more...
Finally…A Baseball Game in 2022!
Box score here Two years ago--seems like two million now--MrLefty and I went to the Cactus League opener at Scottsdale Stadium. It went about how last night's game went, except worse in some ways--it was against the Dodgers, and the Giants made something like...
Welcome to DrLefty’s new Favorite Giant!
I have been a serious dog person my whole life, and longtime regulars on TWG know that MrLefty and I had a beloved yellow Lab, Winnie the Pooch, who left us in 2018. But I don't think I've ever mentioned that my very FIRST dog was a German Shepherd. For Christmas the...
Minor Keys
Well, the worst has come to pass. Opening Day is cancelled. Our spring training trip is cancelled. There is no end in sight to the lockout that has paralyzed major league baseball. There was one tiny hopeful rumor going around last night....
Let’s Talk Drafts
Today was supposed to be the first day of spring training games. When you look on the MLB At Bat app, it skips right from November 2021 to March 8, 2022, ignoring games that were supposed to played from Feb. 28-March 7. The Score app, which is not controlled by...
A Breath of Hope?
OK, first the bad news. Pitchers and catchers were supposed to report this week. They did not. Spring training games were supposed to start on February 26. They will not. MLB announced yesterday that spring training games through March 4 are cancelled. They also...
Left Side Up
I was hoping I wouldn't have to write this "Part 2" column this week because there would be a new contract between MLB and the players' union and maybe the Giants would have already signed Seiya Suzuki and traded for Luis Castillo. But, alas. Instead, you get my...
Guest Post: My Best and Worst Giants Games
by John Ginn Like many of the TWG faithful, I am a longtime diehard Giants fan. 2021 will be my sixty-first season diligently following the Orange and Black. I was born and raised in the San Joaquin valley (Stockton), and I attended many games at Candlestick in my...
Right Side Up
I'm struggling, folks. Generating content for Out of Left Field is always harder in the offseason, and it was incredibly hard when things were shut down for months in 2020 due to COVID. This lockout, though, is so disheartening, so discouraging...I'm old enough to...
The Best and Worst Games I Ever Attended
By SurfMaui Since there is no baseball, at least for the time being, with this Guest Post SM is initiating a new series for TWGers to weigh in on: The Best and Worst Games Ever. The only restriction is that you must have actually attended the game in person either at...
