A game-by-game look at the `global' #49ers in 2026 . . . 11-6 sounds about right . . . mercurynews.com/2026/05/14/49e… #mercnews

Seems so strange to see Shohei Ohtani struggle like a normal major league player. The sport humbles everyone, if even for a short time.

So Giants are sitting Bryce Eldridge against a Dodgers' RHP with a 1-3 record and 5.97 ERA . . . what exactly was the point of bringing him up? Casey Schmitt can play 2B, 3B and even SS if necessary. Devers can DH. And no way Vitello does this without Buster knowing about it.

Giants worst moment tonight wasn't anything that happened on the field. It was when they went to the bullpen and bullpen coach Jesse Chavez and at least one reliever were waving frantically because they had zero idea who was pitching next. Turns bad loss into a clown show.

Maybe it's just a roster shuffle and Trevor McDonald will be back for a Giants start soon, but how do you turn in the best pitching performance of the season on a team playing like crap and get sent back down? Gotta stick up for the McDonalds.

There was a lot to like about Lucas Erceg when he was with the Athletics. That's still the case in Kansas City . . . this is awesome . . . x.com/search?q=Lucas…

The latest of endless examples of why people are way over-stressed about the NFL salary cap. A few strokes of the pen, and bean counters can make millions disappear . . . x.com/MaioccoNBCS/st…

The Giants are in the can't win mode. Can't win on the field. And when they call up Bryce Eldridge, they can't win that way either because why in the hell wasn't he on the original roster? Only one way out of this . . . not be embarrassingly awful for a couple of weeks.

Postgame host Bill Laskey (KNBR-680) reasonably navigates the slings and arrows of callers whose patience has run out with the product . . . #mercnews" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mercurynews.com/2026/05/03/bil…

A funny thing happened to the #49ers much-ridiculed draft a week after completion. It got better with no one taking the field. Ridiculous? Of course it is. It's the NFL Draft in a nutshell . . . mercurynews.com/2026/05/01/49e… #mercnews

I love how opinion appears to have shifted somewhat on the #49ers non-consensus draft to the point where some people are praising it. And there hasn't been a game or even practice.

Rafael Devers says he's not frustrated. Giants manager Tony Vitello used the word three times in two sentences when assessing Devers' struggles on Sunday. x.com/justdelossanto…
