Ok, that’s easier said than done. Ten games in, the Giants find themselves at 4-6, already in last place in the NL West. There have been questionable trades, questionable signings, and questionable managerial decisions. This team is kind of where we expected it to be. Homers, strikeouts, and a revolving roster around mediocrity. Eric and Chad break it all down for you, but our Giants’ fandom might be suggesting that we’re a bit frustrated already. That’s ok. Giants baseball. Nothing like it?

Episode #276: 2023 Season Preview

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

It’s here, one of our favorite podcasts of the year! Chad and Eric are joined by special guest @StevenRissotto from SFBay and Rizzocast to talk about the Giants’ roster, Sergio Romo’s final appearance, the WBC, injuries, Brandon Belt punking his friend, Oracle Park media day and food tasting (don’t forget to check out Chad’s food review video!), and the always fun predictions! We throw out our guesses for how many games the Giants will win and read all of your guesses as well! This is a full one folks, settle in for it. The Giants kick off their 2023 season this Thursday at 10am PDT in Yankee Stadium. There’s nothing like it?

And by the way, this is our 13th season covering Giants’ baseball, and we are the longest-running podcast about this team…and apparently we’re going to become angsty and experimental soon.

A Baseball Convex Kite

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

Spring Training is well into action, and although the Giants aren’t killing it in terms of their record (who cares?), there are a few guys making a case for the roster. We also chat about the impact of the rule changes so far, the actual shape of the baseball “diamond,” and how the larger bases are changing it slightly, and the World Baseball Classic starts this week!

Episode #272: New Year, New Team

Michael Conforto and the Giants hope he can return to his 2019 form.

Happy new year! Correa signs with Minnesota after all of the drama, Giants have twins, Conforto to patrol the outfield, pen bolsterd with Luke Jackson, Belt to Toronto, Longo to Arizona, LaStella released, Murph retires, 8 players avoid arbitration, Giants sign 23 international prospects, is this team actually better? FanFest is Feb 4.

Episode #271: They Lost a Carlos

Somewhere in Oracle Park sits an unused Correa jersey.

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

Consider this a group therapy session, Giants fans. Eric and Chad try and make sense of how and why the Giants essentially walked away from the deal with Carlos Correa in the 11th hour. Just three hours prior to the press conference that would have introduced Correa and his #1 jersey, the Giants contacted his agent, Scott Boras, and told him they needed more time to go over an “issue” they discovered with Correa’s physical. Boras gave them 5 hours. The Giants never called him back. So, he hammered out a deal with Mets owner Steve Cohen and behold, Carlos Correa is now a Met. We talk through this and speculate why? Also, why have the Giants not offered any explanation. Aside from a short statement, they’ve been on radio silence. This is a PR nightmare for the team, the largest botched free agency debacle in MLB history, and an event that will have major ramifications for this franchise for years to come. No biggie, really.

Episode #270: They Got a Carlos

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

Just when you thought that the Giants wouldn’t make a big splash, Farhan pulls one out of his hat and signs Carlos Correa to a 13 year, $350 million contract. The Giants finally got their guy. This is in addition to signing Sean Manaea, Mitch Haniger, and Stripling…we think this team is absolutely better than last year’s version. And remember, they only missed the playoffs by six games…that’s one extra win a month. This new version should be able to do that. Join Chad, Eric, and Willie as we discuss this and more!

Episode #269: Arson Judge is Still Available

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

We digest the hot stove action, which unfortunately includes Aaron Judge denying the Giants their big fish, as he signed a 9/360 deal to return to the Yankees. What other free agents should the Giants target? Will this off-season be a failure if they only get Haniger? Plus, Bonds gets rejected in a big way by the HOF veterans committee. Check out this cathartic podcast (for Giants fans, that is!).
