Chad and Eric conduct a partial autopsy on the corpse of the 2025 San Francisco Giants, but before that, there’s a long conversation about who the Giants are going to replace Bob Melvin with. That’s right, after signing Melvin to an extension on July 1, the Giants parted ways with Melvin and now will search for their next skipper. No, it won’t be Bruce Bochy, who just ended his tenure as manager with the Rangers. So much went wrong for the Giants this year, but in the end, they missed the playoffs by just 3 games (they were 2 games back, but Mets held the tiebreaker over Giants). Heck, Ryan Walker blew three saves (all losses) in the last two weeks of the season alone! There are many other games to point to. The Giants are close, tantalizingly close, but they need more. Buster Posey said in this morning’s interview that they can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results, thus the Melvin dismissal. Hey, Willy Adames became the first Giant to hit 30 homers since Bonds in 2004, and we talk about the playoffs and give our predictions. Anyone but the Dodgers, right?
