The San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres got the 2024 MLB season started as the Padres spoiled a nice outing from Logan Webb on their way to a 6-4 victory. Logan Webb left after 6 innings pitched and the lead, but the San Francisco Giants bullpen couldn't slam the door on the Padres offense, as they posted 4 runs in the 7th inning. Despite a 9th inning home run from Michael Conforto, the San Francisco Giants were never able to recover.    Gametime  Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDON for $20 off your first purchase.    PrizePicks  Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonmlb and use code lockedonmlb for a first deposit match up to $100!

It's quickly becoming by far the best story of the 2024 season for the San Francisco Giants. Heliot Ramos, drafted out of high school as a teenager, is finally breaking out at the major-league level before our very eyes. Ramos, given a chance to play everyday due to injuries in the outfield, has been on a tear for over a month and it's getting harder and harder to ignore the legitimacy of the SF Giants outfielder's breakout. Despite Ramos' breakout, the Giants lost two of three to the inferior Angels, largely due to poor situational hitting in the middle game of the series. Another negative for the San Francisco Giants was the continued struggles of Camilo Doval, who was touched up for four runs in 1/3 of an inning in Sunday's blowout win. It's starting to look like a change at the closer position is warranted, with the dominant Ryan Walker the most likely solution. Meanwhile, Giants starter Kyle Harrison landed on the 15-day IL after spraining his ankle in the weight room on Saturday. It was another blow for a Giants rotation that has been banged up all season. In Harrison's place, Spencer Bivens made his MLB debut following opener Erik Miller, and Bivens was very impressive over three innings en route to his first MLB win.

SF Giants' Heliot Ramos Having Legitimate Breakout Season

The San Francisco Giants unleashed a can of you-know-what against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the series finale at Oracle Park, as they won by a final score of 13-6. Jorge Soler had a great game, as he led the San Francisco Giants with three hits, four RBI, and a three-run home run. Spencer Bivens made his MLB debut for the San Francisco Giants and pitched well, as he struck out five in three innings. His journey to the big leagues was nothing short of inspiring. With the Father's Day win, the San Francisco Giants go .500 on the homestand and avoid the sweep. They hit the road to play the Chicago Cubs next.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.

POSTCAST: Giants Offense Erupts for 13 Runs in Homestand Finale Against Angels

The San Francisco Giants continued to struggle offensively with runners in scoring position as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim won again today, 4-3. Heliot Ramos did everything he could, including launch a two-run homer and an RBI double, but the rest of the San Francisco Giants offense was putrid. Just 1-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 8 runners on base. Keaton Winn finally had a nice outing again, but the San Francisco Giants couldn't capitalize.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1-800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.

POSTCAST: Giants Terrible with Runners in Scoring Position, Lose Series to Angels

The San Francisco Giants dropped their first game of their three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, falling 8-6 at Oracle Park. Spencer Howard just didn't have it on the mound tonight for the San Francisco Giants and was shelled early on. A Heliot Ramos three-run bomb put the San Francisco Giants within striking distance late, but they couldn't manage to complete the comeback.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Tax Network USAReduce your tax debt and get help from a team of licensed tax professionals call 1- 800-549-1000 or visit TNUSA.com/lockedon.

POSTCAST: Ramos Gives Giants Late Life but Can't Complete Comeback vs Angels

There seems to be a commonly held belief that the San Francisco Giants' offense has been bad so far in 2024. But is it really true? The Giants boast an above-average wRC+, and they're above average in batting average and on-base percentage. Their power has been subpar, and their hitting with runners in "scoring position" has been bottom five in the league, but numbers like wRC+ are more indicative of talent and predictive of future performance. The Giants are a tick below average in runs scored per game. At worst, they're mediocre, not bad. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants: Do the Giants have enough offense to get it done this season? Corresponding moves once Nick Ahmed and LaMonte Wade Jr. can come back? When does Hayden Birdsong debut? Does Hunter Bishop get up this year? When will the SF Giants get to and stay above .500?
