4.4 out of 5 stars from 66 ratings
  • Hey Dopes!

    Maybe before you bury Conforto in favor of Wade Jr., Wilmer, and Matos you should compare their Career OPS: Conforto 816. Wade Jr 762. Flores 760. Matos 661. Chapman 790. Soler 797.

  • Too many short segments

    Why can’t we get the full show posted rather than a bunch of 10-20 minutes segments. Also can we get less commercials in the middle of the interviews?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Susan Slusser chimes in to give her take on the SF Giants after 5 players are sent off following the trade deadline
Q: Susan, what have you learned about Marcelo Meyer from just having conversations around the league?
Meyer was a darling prospect for Boston but did not fully pan out due to health and mental aspects; a change of scenery could unlock his potential, and the Giants see him as a flyer with upside given his youth.
The Giants go into full "sell mode": Silver & JD react to the haul, plus Eric Branch on the latest outside 49er camp
Q: What drove the Giants to pivot toward a longer-term rebuild rather than chasing an immediate contender?
The hosts discuss expiring contracts, the lack of takers for big albatross deals, and a strategic shift to acquire high-upside prospects while planning for a more sustainable未来, signaling a focus on the farm system and timeline alignment rather than short-term wins.
John Shea of the San Francisco Standard speaks to Jeff Kent's induction to the HOF and talks about the impact to SF after Schmitt injury
Q: What was that like for you, just the whole experience and really the fact that a very emotional Jeff Kent, not very similar to what he was as a player here at all, just accept and appreciate that special induction on Sunday?
John Shea describes the emotional, transformative weekend in Cooperstown, noting Kent's heartfelt appreciation, his evolution from a guarded, stubborn player to someone who fully embraces the history and recognition, and how the moment underscored Kent's impact on the Giants and Hall of Fame lore.
Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele stops by to talk to the guys about what to expect for the 2026 football season
Q: What are the key selling points in terms of just like things that he was going to bring to the table and how much he wanted you to be a part of essentially a resurgence of a program that it's clearly dear to his heart?
Sagapolutele describes the new staff as highly talented, emphasizes the culture and energy they bring, and discusses how the program's resurgence is a shared mission that drew him back to Cal.
Tosh Lupoi sits down to chat with the guys to preview the upcoming Cal football season
Q: Why can Cal be the best program in the country?
Cal's unique combination of being the top public university and having high-level athletics, plus a track record across Olympic sports, creates a platform to elevate recruiting, NIL funding, and overall program impact.
