I’ve come a long way from PT, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis last year. I had to relearn how to run a single mile. Today, I just ran my first official half marathon (13.1 miles) event in 1:44:57 (avg pace 8’01”/mi).

I can’t wait to run my first full marathon next year.

@rob_keyes @screenrant It was either that or take a nap.

2026 Giants Walk Offs, in pictures: a season-long, ongoing 🧵

1. May 10th vs. the Pirates (Mother’s Day) - F/12: 7 - 6
Hero: Jesus Rodriguez

With the bases loaded, rookie catcher Rodriguez comes through in the clutch in the 12th with a single to right, scoring Heliot Ramos.

A win?! In this economy?!

@MarkLazerus Arguably the definitive SW ranking. I’m on board. I also think it’s funny that you completely left Resistance off of the list. And Young Jedi Adventures, but that’s more understandable.

That guy rocked.

Could we maybe restart this Giants game and try again?

[Ben Kaspick @BenKaspick]

The #SFGiants have MLB's ninth-highest batting average (.243), yet they're 29th in runs per game (3.19).

SF is 28th in OBP (.288) and ISO (.113), last in walk rate (5.8%) by 1.3 pct. points.

Little example of how batting average alone isn't highly correlated with run creation.

@AGamingBeaver Yes

Willy Adoubles.

[Alex Pavlovic @PavlovicNBCS]

This was the first career big league win for Matt Gage, who hasn't allowed a run yet this season. It comes 12 years after the Giants drafted him, and he pitched in the big leagues for three other organizations before returning last year.

The San Francisco “Not the Worst Run Differential in MLB, or Even the NL West” Giants. 😤

[Niko 🌚 @NLabendeira]

So uhhhh… how’s Eldridge’s defense at 1B coming along? Asking for my friend, Matt.

Giants sneaking up on the White Sox for worst run differential in MLB.

[Niko 🌚 @NLabendeira]

Way too many veterans in the lineup for the Giants to be this ass against fastballs.

[jackson @foreverstros]

a big part of why the astros have had one of the best offenses in this small sample to start the season, they have just been destroying fastballs

[KNBR @KNBR]

Tony Vitello said on @MLBNetwork that Chappy was just telling (Schmitt) about the Catalina wine mixer."

Catch the f**king ball? Nope. F**king Catalina Wine Mixer? Yep.

I remember heckling this dude on Buster Posey Day from the bleachers when he was a Cardinal, and now he’s a pretty solid Giant signed under Buster Posey. Poetic.

[Giant Hot Takes @GiantHotTakes]

Harrison Bader is currently tied for the league lead among outfielders in DRS (2).

An instant impact and a helluva signing by Buster Posey.

[Niko 🌚 @NLabendeira]

Analytics are so important for quantifying performance, but the heart of the sport has always been the human element. Baseball is the best.

[Baseball Quotes @BaseballQuotes1]

The umpire handing Daniel Susac the lineup cards after he made his MLB debut is beyond cool
