GIANTS POSTCAST: Giants Offense HORRENDOUS To Start 2026
The San Francisco Giants entered today looking for their first run of the 2026 MLB season, and they ended today still searching for that first run as they fell 3-0 to the New York Yankees at Oracle Park. An Aaron Judge two-run blast and a solo shot from Giancarlo Stanton proved to be the difference in this one, but the biggest concern with this team, much like last season and the years prior, remains on the offensive side of the equation. Despite making major upgrades over the last few seasons, the team continues to see the same pitiful results.

As you say… from your 3 & 4 hitters…0 for 6 is inexcusable, moreover with Ks
It's a poorly constructed team. They will play better, but it won't be near good enough.
Perhaps NYY are really good ? But there’s too many Ks, lack of runs… the GAMES ARE NOT EVEN COMPETITIVE! Crazy!
While not a believer that this will be a great team, there is a lot of jumping to conclusions considering it's two games – against the Yankees. I also noticed that Vitello is promising lineup 'variance' based on the numbers. After two games? Suggests he is a nervous manager and has little patience with his players.
Scoreless in San Francisco 😂😂😂
Pathetic comes to mind.
Same problem as last year. Devers is a poison player. Defense in left field is weak. Maybe they will finish 4th. But the Rockies will be much closer. They might even take 4th place from the Giants.
Have any of these guys swung a bat before?
Let's play 2 games against a bunch of single A level players as a primer to the season. That is such a Johnson ownership type of move. Such losers.
What did anybody expect? We’re going to compete with all the big spenders with Chapman and Devers as our big hitters? They’re supposed to compete with Judge, Ohtani and the overloaded Dodgers? We kind of knew this was going to happen. The only drama left in baseball is whose ass the Dodgers will kick in the World Series. Until something structurally changes in baseball, drama is gone. Bring on the lockout
Can anything good come out of the Bay Area? Giants have been infected.
see….all the team's probs were bob melvin
FIRE BUSTER
Patrick Bailey was my Player of the Game: he was 50% on challenges. Yay.
These guys are normally good hitters. Did they change their approach? Who's their hitting coach? What signals are they getting? Why couldn't they bunt in some situations? Last year, they were producing crazy OBP in this early stage of the season.They appear waaay less disciplined in the box.
Telling myself they just ran into a couple of nasty starters but also sweating that maybe… well, we suck again!!
Anyone notice the look on Ryan Walker's face when he got pulled? Dude was like, "seriously?" 😂Also: true to form, early-season Adames is a tragedy on both sides of the ball. Just what is his problem? We know he's better than this.
So far I’m not impressed with the new Manager. Personally I didn’t like the batting order the first two games either.
Devers' batting stance is his issue. He's late to get into his swing.
I get the sense that there's literally not a single thing that can be done about the team on the field. They just simply are not good. The entire thing will need to be blown up and they need to start from the ground up. They're simply not going to win with this foundation of players. It's impossible for one reason or another.
Just adding and adding and adding on top of this foundation isn't going to produce the positive results we want them to.
K after k after k. I shouldn’t already be hate watching my team
3rd game of the season and it is a most win…no way they can get swept with the schedule ahead
Sure looks like the same team…or maybe even worse. Last season the Giants were 11-2 against the Rockies…and 70-79 against the rest of baseball. That shows the reality of the team. They really aren't even close to being a top team. And the Brewers and Red Sox got us to take Adames and Devers off their hands and payrolls. How did those teams do without their stars? Much better and in the playoffs.
The vitello experiment is a fail 😂
Adames Has No Business Batting 1-4th. At Best, He Should Be hitting 5-9. AT BEST. He Strikes Out Way Too Much. Especially IN THE CLUTCH. Barry!!! We Miss You!
All you fans trashing the giants after a few game should go buy a dodgers jersey. You couldn’t even hit a ball off a tee but think you have all the answers. STFU
So sick of watching the Giants constipated offence that excels at striking out. Hoping that these first two games are just an aberration and that things will improve but it sure doesn't look good so far. Its time for all these highly-paid hitters to start earning their pay.
The Yanks are one of two stacked teams in MLB. Let’s see how it goes over the next three series before we get too down on the team.
The Yanks are my third favorite team. If Doval can become great with them and win a World Series, I’m good with that. I wish he could have been great with the Giants though. The guy is an amazing talent when he has his head together.
Keep losing SF Giants. They’ve already won three World Series, that’s enough. Time to tank for now, yes.
Just goes to show that spring training win/loss records mean nothing.
