Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

Best team in San Francisco Giants history? On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the Giants' 103rd win of the season, which matches their San Francisco-era best. The win was important, as it allowed the Giants to maintain their two-game lead over the Dodgers, who won in San Diego.

It was a start for Logan Webb, who was solid but inefficient. The defense was not always great behind him, as LaMonte Wade Jr. whiffed on a pickoff throw that led to a run early in the game. Wade Jr. was the first to man first base in Brandon Belt's absence, but the true replacement for Belt on the field was Steven Duggar in center field. Earlier in the day, it was reported that Belt's fractured thumb will take approximately four weeks to heal, and he's going to be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The Giants' bullpen was up and down in the critical win. Tyler Rogers had another rough outing in the eighth inning, but Camilo Doval was absolutely electric in the ninth. Save opportunities are there for the taking with Jake McGee on the injured list, and Doval was up to the task on Tuesday night. He featured a wipe-out slider and a fastball that topped out at 102 mph.

Brandon Belt has a fractured thumb. On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are:

With Brandon Belt possibly out for the rest of the year, what is first base going to look like? LaMonte Wade Jr.? Darin Ruf? Kris Bryant?

Will Darin Ruf play every day in Belt’s absence once Ruf’s back?

Is the Giants' bullpen set without McGee as the closer? Who fills that role most often?

Camilo Doval and Kervin Castro on the postseason roster? Doval in the 9th?

With the structure of the playoffs, will the Giants build in any off days for Buster Posey, or can we expect to see him catch every game in the postseason?

Any reason the Brewers will try at all this weekend against the Dodgers?

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' dominant sweep in Denver, as they blew past the 100-win mark, set the franchise's all-time home run record, and reduced their magic number to win the NL West to five. Any combination of Giants wins and Dodgers losses that sums to five means the Giants win the NL West.

The Giants dominanted in Denver in part thanks to excellent pitching. In 27 innings, Giants pitchers struck out 34 and walked one. Kevin Gausman was back to his dominant self, striking out 11 and walking none in six excellent innings. Gausman finding himself just before the playoffs would be a huge development for the Giants.

However, the club is also dealing with a major injury scare. Self-declared "Captain" Brandon Belt was hit by a pitch in the thumb while squaring to bunt on Sunday. Initial scans were inconclusive, so Belt is going to have x-rays in the Bay Area on Monday. The Giants absolutely need Belt right now, as he has been carrying the team offensively. Belt is in elite company with his power and on-base skills over the last couple of seasons, and his defense is a huge asset as well.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick joins Locked On Rockies host Paul Holden to discuss the San Francisco Giants' critical upcoming series in Denver. The Giants seemed poised to perhaps take a three-game lead in the NL West yesterday, but then everything took a turn for the worse. The Dodgers came back to defeat Colorado, and the Giants let a lead slip away and lost to the Padres in extra innings.

Ben and Paul break down the state of these two teams, and discuss the upcoming series. Alex Wood starts for the Giants today, and the Giants are dealing with a banged up and tired bullpen. Closer, and former Rockie, Jake McGee is on the injured list, and Tyler Rogers hasn't done a great job so far in his place. On the Rockies side of things, Peter Lambert makes his first start since 2019.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' thrilling 8-6 win over the San Diego Padres, and how the Giants gained a game on the Dodgers. San Francisco's lead in the NL West increased to two games with 10 to play, and their magic number was reduced to nine. Any combination of Giants wins and Dodgers losses that sums to nine would mean the Giants clinch the NL West. Ben discusses what his reaction would have been had you described this scenario to him at the beginning of the year.

He talks about Scott Kazmir making the start for the Giants, Camilo Doval's extremely impressive outing and September as a whole, Tyler Rogers' blowup in the 9th, and a great night for the offense, led by Buster Posey and Kris Bryant.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' clutch, thrilling win over the San Diego Padres. LaMonte Wade Jr. delivered another huge hit in the 9th inning, this time to give the Giants a one-run lead that they would hold onto in a dicey bottom of the 9th.

Tyler Rogers got the save in place of an injured Jake McGee, but things were not exactly smooth. Brandon Crawford started the inning with a leadoff error, then Rogers fell behind Fernando Tatis Jr. 3-1. Rogers came back to strike out Tatis, and then got Manny Machado to ground into a 112-mph double play, from Brandon Belt to Crawford to Rogers covering the bag.

When all was said and done, it was an enormous victory, especially after the Giants fell behind early due to Kevin Gausman having a shaky outing. He allowed three home runs, all on hanging splitters. But with the win, the Giants were able to remain alone in first place, clinging to a one-game lead over the Dodgers with 11 games remaining.

Scott Kazmir will start for the Giants tonight, making his first appearance with the team in a number of months. Chadwick Tromp was claimed off waivers by the Braves prior to last night's game.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are:

Do you think Kris Bryant will ultimately re-sign with the Giants? Is he worth a $200M+ contract?

With lots of one-year deals, some with options and others without them, how much roster turnover do you think we’ll have next season? Specifically which players do you think will come back? Which players do you think may choose to sign elsewhere?

Do you see Johnny Cueto making the fourth starter spot and Alex Wood taking the long relief spot for the playoffs? Seems like there is one spot available for Jay Jackson, Jose Quintana, Sammy Long and Cueto with Logan Webb, Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers Jarlin García, Dominic Leone, Tony Watson Zack Littell, José Álvarez, Camilo Doval seeming like locks.

Rank the following from most likely to least likely as to the way Joey Bart ultimately departs from the San Francisco Giants organization: a. Release/DFA'd b. Free agency (major league, minor league, other league, i.e. KBO) c. Trade of any form d. Retirement from baseball

Does Steven Duggar beat out Alex Dickerson for a postseason spot?

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. Kevin Gausman and Donovan Solano provided what may have been the Giants' most magical moments of the season to date. Solano tied the game with a pinch-hit homer with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the 9th. Gausman was forced to pinch hit with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th, and he delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly.

The Giants won two of three against the Braves, keeping pace with the Dodgers, who won two of three in Cincinnati. Alex Wood came off the COVID-19 IL to make a start on Saturday, and he was brilliant in three innings of work. Johnny Cueto is progressing well and may make a rehab start this week. The Giants have had multiple bullpen games each week for a while, so Wood and Cueto's returns should help a tired 'pen.

The Giants have a one-game lead in the NL West with 12 games to play. Ben discusses the Giants' and Dodgers' remaining schedule, and why a wild card game against the Cardinals should not be what the Giants want to see. Don't give Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt a chance to end your season in a one-game playoff.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: What do you think the Giants' playoff rotation will look like? What would be the ideal postseason lineup vs a LHP? RHP? What do you think will the Giants' playoff 26 man roster? Or more specifically, what player that has contributed will not be on the 26-man roster? Contending team you least want to face/toughest potential opponent for: 1. NL Wild Card 2. NLDS 3. NLCS 4. World Series? Contending team you most want to face/easiest potential opponent for: 1. NL Wild Card 2. NLDS 3. NLCS 4. World Series? With Kris Bryant struggling of late, and his likely massive impending price in the offseason, do you think Giants will be interested in re-signing him? What do you think they’ll offer vs. what he’ll end up signing? Wouldn't it be beneficial to the overall bullpen health down the stretch to call up the hottest Triple-A starting pitcher for a spot start or two instead of expecting 8-10 relievers to all be on their game on the same day?

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' lead in the NL West slipping down to one game after back-to-back losses to the Padres. Ben discusses the two teams' remaining schedules and breaks down what went wrong for the Giants in the last two games. Alex Wood's COVID-19 illness has hurt the Giants, as they've had to cover two different spots in the rotation with bullpen games. He should be back on Saturday, and Donovan Solano and Alex Dickerson are also making progress toward a return. Kevin Gausman struggled on Thursday, and Giants pitching allowed 16 runs and 30 hits over the last two games combined.
