KNBR Podcast

In this episode of Papa and Silver, Greg Silver & John Dickinson dive into the Giants' recent lineup decisions, specifically the handling of prospect Bryce Eldridge. They're joined by Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, who shares her insights on the situation. They discuss the Giants' unique approach to managing their young players, the impact of Eldridge's presence on the team, and the potential implications for the roster. The conversation also touches on the bullpen's struggles and the team's recent trade with the Cleveland Guardians.

Hour 3: Silver & JD take a sound bite from Duane Kuiper's interview on Murph & Markus from earlier this morning to get back into Bryce Eldridge and his place (or lack thereof) in the Giants lineup. While May 11 is far too early to talk about a rebuild, and the musical chairs effect was bound to happen in calling up young prospects, the guys explain why Eldridge simply has to get at-bats if he's going to spend time in the major leagues. Marcus Thompson joins the show to revisit Steve Kerr's two-year extension to return to Golden State and the Warriors' needs in the upcoming NBA draft.

Hour 2: Silver & JD keep the Giants conversation moving with a clip from Ken Rosenthal questioning Tony Vitello's credibility when it comes to having difficult conversations with underperforming veterans. Silver believes that Vitello was dealt a difficult hand, having to manage both prideful and highly paid veterans while also tending to the development of young prospects, and JD asserts that while that may be true, the only way to quiet the noise is to win more than the Giants have won through the first quarter of the season. Susan Slusser stops by to talk Bryce Eldridge and the daily lineup puzzle.
