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

No caption needed

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

No caption needed

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!).

The Giants have one of the worst records after the All Star Break at 5-12 and are almost completely out of the playoff picture. That said, they are getting a lot of their regular roster back and can make ground against the Padres starting tonight. The boys also talk about what the Giants did and didn’t do at the trade deadline, and how they may hope to compete with the Dodgers and Padres rosters in the future. Plus, Hunter Pence is going on the Giants’ “Wall of Fame” on 9/17! Remember, you can catch us live most Mondays at 12:15 pm PDT.

We talk about the absolute thud of a sound that the Giants made over the last two weeks.

We also discuss the Giants All-Star selections of Joc Pederson and Carlos Rodon, and will the Giants be sellers at the trade deadline? Plus, what we think the chance are that the Giants sign Aaron Judge this offseason. This and more!

Episode #254: Mediocre May

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

The Giants finished May with a 13-14 record, their first losing month since 2020. Despite producing more runs per game in May than they did in April, they also finished the month with an MLB-worst 6.26 reliever ERA, and a 5.44 staff ERA. Clearly, the pitching is holding them back. Eric and Chad talk about this hopeful outlier of a month, the best Giants for the first third of the season, the “slap” by Tommy Pham on Joc Pederson, and where the Giants hope to go from here.
