  • Only Giants Podcast I Need

    I really don’t understand the negative reviews. Hard not to see it as weird fans with an axe to grind. Nice mix of series recaps, looking ahead, stadium/food previews, and Alex and Cole have good camaraderie.

Why Randy Rodriguez's injury will force a 'bullpen rebuild' for Giants
Q: Where does that leave the bullpen after Randy Rodriguez's injury?
They have to look at Ryan Walker in the ninth, and he has been strong lately. They might need to rebuild the bullpen in the offseason as well.
Why Giants being swept by Blue Jays is cause for concern before trade deadline
Q: Would you hate seeing Yaz get traded?
Currently, there's no need to worry about trading Yaz unless the Giants really falter in their upcoming games, as they are still in the wild card race and showing potential to contend.
