  • 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.

Matt Barrows of The Athletic recaps the 49ers cutdown/practice squad release & his thoughts on the return of Aaron Donald
Q: What are your thoughts on the 49ers' running back depth beyond Christian McCaffrey?
He emphasized that while the group is talented, it remains unproven and might require inventive usage, with potential platooning and utilization of Deebo Samuel in more rushing roles to take some load off McCaffrey.
Matt Barrows of The Athletic recaps the 49ers cutdown/practice squad release & his thoughts on the return of Aaron Donald
Q: What surprised you about the initial 53-man roster, if anything?
Barrows noted that the roster appeared pretty by-the-book with few shocks, though the release of Robert Jones at left guard and the decision to IR Austin Pleasance stood out as significant moves that could affect depth and rotation.
What championship era would you most like to relive? Montana-49ers, Curry-Warriors, or Bochy-Giants?
Q: What is your reaction to Zach Manassian's comments about the Giants' bullpen and rebuild strategy?
Baggarly acknowledges the bravery of Zach's nuanced points, arguing that while rebuilds can be necessary, it's important to consider the damage and progress made by current pitchers and the broader organizational plan before wholesale changes.
Andy Baggarly weighs in on how SF can build a competitive bullpen next year after a season of struggles
Q: What is your reaction to Zach Manassian's comments about rebuilding the bullpen and the current state of the ninth inning?
Baggs expresses that while there is talent in the bullpen, the front office isn't comfortable simply resting on what they have and wants a broader plan beyond just shuffling the pieces, acknowledging the ninth-inning issues but emphasizing a thoughtful, multi-faceted approach.
Susan Slusser discusses why hitting rock bottom in 2026 could push along timeline of rebuild for SF Giants
Q: What were your overall thoughts on the Jeff Kent ceremony and the dynamics with Barry Bonds?
The moment highlighted a complex but heartfelt dynamic; Kent's evolution from prickly to warmly engaging, and Bonds' presence or absence, framed a ceremony that felt celebratory yet loaded with history. It showed how former rivals can quietly acknowledge each other's legacies and the Giants' ability to honor multiple generations at once.
