  • Keeps me well informed & reads the tea leaves

    As a Giants fan who lives in Houston, & watches about 95% of the games, this podcast keeps me connected to the team & updated. We get an excellent and reliable rundown & prediction of what’s coming next. An educated & reliable reading of the tea leaves. Pavs, please consider recording your book for Audible. I’m a lawyer who reads hundreds of pages a day for work. So a lot of my leisure reading tends to be audio. I’ll be first in line for an audio version.

  • California Tranplant

    Having grown up in the Bay Area, one of the hardest things about leaving the area was moving away from my team. There is very little available that can keep me connected to the Giants. While I can watch Kruk and Kuip on MBL TV, they don’t show the pre and post game shows. This podcast is my lifeline and I can’t do without it! It’s the only link during the offseason. Thank guys!
