A Season That Could Rewrite History
Veteran voice on KNBR, Mike Krukow, didn't hold back as he dissected the Giants' 2026 campaign, labeling the on‑field product "disgusting" and hinting that his retirement will arrive amid a season many fans would rather forget.
The club sits on the edge of a record that has haunted San Francisco baseball for decades; a winless stretch could see them match the 1985 squad's 62‑100 mark, a benchmark that still defines the franchise's most painful chapter.
Adding urgency, the Giants are slated to close the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 27, a matchup that has historically ended in lopsided defeats, including 15‑0 and 9‑0 routs in 2018 and 2019.
Manager Tony Vitello, still adjusting to his first year at the helm, voiced his frustration after a limp loss to the Colorado Rockies, a game that underscored the team's inability to translate promise into performance.
Fans had hoped the final appearance of a beloved broadcaster would serve as a fitting tribute, yet the prevailing narrative is one of disappointment, with the Giants' campaign threatening to eclipse even the most somber of endings.
