For Giants' Farhan Zaidi, MLB postseason has been a nightmare - SFGATE

Forgive Farhan Zaidi if the MLB playoffs are causing him to experience an existential crisis. Amid another down year, the fallout from firing Gabe Kapler, working on hiring a new manager and calls for his job that just keep gaining volume, you’d think the Giants’ president of baseball operations would have enough to worry about this winter. But if the Giants’ current state is that of a dumpster fire, the playoffs are only adding fuel to it. Every team that’s still standing (as of this writing) h…

Firing Gabe Kapler shows SF Giants are in a state of turmoil - SFGATE

Like an automated Cruise car in a San Francisco intersection, Gabe Kapler’s time as manager of the Giants has stalled out and died. The Giants somewhat shockingly relieved Kapler of his duties on Friday, with three games left before the end of another disappointing season. It’s a mercy dismissal in a way, as now Kapler won’t have to face question after question about his job security — and the nostalgia-focused Giants marketing machine won’t have those questions linger over Brandon Crawford’s pr…

The 2023 season is in its death throes, which means it’s just about time to start looking ahead to what promises to be the most important offseason for the San Francisco Giants since… well, the last one.

The SF Giants made the right move bringing back Zaidi, Kapler - SFGATE

Want to start a fight between two Giants fans? Ask them their opinions on Farhan Zaidi and Gabe Kapler. Nothing quite inspires fierce debate among the faithful like the performances of the Giants’ president of baseball operations and manager. Their defenders are just as passionate as their detractors, and it’s hard to find any middle ground. The recent announcement from owner Greg Johnson that both Zaidi and Kapler would be back next year — playoffs or not — really broke the dam. So let me be br…

Are the SF Giants completely out of gas? - San Francisco - SFGATE

September is here, and with it comes baseball’s stretch run. It’s the time where true contenders separate themselves from the pack, surging into the postseason with the kind of momentum that can carry a team to a World Series title. And for the Giants, it’s the chance to prove they’re for real, with the chance to make some serious noise in October. Right? Uh… well. About that. The Giants are currently 0 for the month, having lost three straight to the Padres and dropping the first of a three-gam…
