Chad recaps the Washington series. The Giants took 2 of 3 from Washington, hitting .305 in the series and scoring 17 runs despite being shut out in a loss in game 3. Best performances go to Ramos (.385, 2 HR, 6 RBI), Chapman (.400), Gilbert (.417) and the bullpen that allowed only 2 ER in 11.1 IP. They are still floundering a bit at four games under .500, but have been showing signs of offensive life lately.

Eric and Chad digest the meat loss sandwich the Giants made this week (that’s four meaty losses in a row, bookended by two thin slices of wins). Giants fans are pining for some signs of life, but the team is falling further back in the standings and digging their hole a little deeper every week of this young season. They are last or near the bottom of the league in most hitting categories, and their pitching is sub-average. That said, it was nice to see Landen Roupp and company toss a 1-hit shutout today in Cincinnati. There is some life emanating from Jung Hoo Lee, but the outfield and Bailey remain mostly abysmal. They have time to turn this around, but it can’t wait much longer.

Willie Dills recaps the Baltimore series. The Giants dropped 2 of 3 to Baltimore, but have some….some hints of hitting. But, will that continue with their road trip to Cincinnati?

What a way for the kid catcher (Daniel Susac) to break open his MLB career! Five straight hits and now 6-7. He has more hits than Bailey already! The boys get together to discuss this week in Giants baseball, where we saw the orange and black go 3-4, but ended the week with two consecutive shutouts over the Phillies before they head out on a nine-game road trip.

Eric Nathanson (@2outhits) recaps the four-game series against the Mets at home. Apparently, the Giants don’t want us recapping GOOD baseball. It was a tough weekend for the Giants, dropping three of four to the New York B team, and just getting walloped in the last three games of the series.

Episode #334: Catch the F***ing Ball!

Matt Chapman giving Casey Schmitt some ideas on paint colors for his house…probably

You can download the episode here, or stream it below!

The Giants had a poor opening week to the 2026 season, with few positives to talk about, I mean, two players have actually out-homered the Giants so far. We talk about a little drama on the field between infielders, lack of hitting, how the rookie manager is handling things so far, and a nice tangent into the ABS system and C.B. Bucknor for flavor.
