  • I’d give SIX ⭐️ but…

    Love all the hosts, analysis and stories. There’s often poor audio quality—voices dropping out, background noises like clicking and echoing. Please be more selective about you’re recording🙏🏽. Otherwise, Sluss & the Boyz are AWESOME!

  • Amazing Host

    This podcast is able to provide you with information that you normally would not get due to the host being a former player for the Giants. With that being said I do believe it is a great podcast with lots of information.

  • SEO Woes

    I tried to find your podcast but had forgotten the name. A search in Apple Podcasts of SF Giants yielded twenty shows half of them defunct but not yours. Not everyone will think to type in full names of FP and SlussDog to uncover your secret cast. I no am not a fan of manipulative AI tools but they are great at solving technical issues so consult Gemini or ChatGPT and they will explain to you how to you to improve your SEO so baseball fans can easily find your show.

Q: Was the Devers trade still paying dividends for the Giants, or has it been underwhelming relative to expectations?
The evaluation remains mixed; the Giants gained short-term impact but the overall balance of the deal is debated, with some players underperforming or miscast due to positional changes and back-related injuries.

Live Giants chat! FP answers your questions on Webb, Vitello, Lee
Q: Is this a go-for-it year or a rebuild in progress with Vitello's management style?
He suggests a process-driven approach, recognizing Vitello as a first-time manager adapting on the fly and comparing the roster to a 'speedboat' situation; emphasizes that development and learning curves are part of a long-term plan rather than a one-year push.
Live Giants chat! FP answers your questions on Webb, Vitello, Lee
Q: FP, you may not want to do it, but you think long-term trading Logan while we're not competing is the best idea?
FP expresses that he doesn't want to be a GM but acknowledges in a 15-games-under-.500 season almost anything could be on the table, yet emphasizes evaluating what best serves the franchise, including assessing assets and potential returns while prioritizing team health and future depth.
