Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' difficult finish to the month of August, yet their surprisingly great overall numbers in the month. Despite the rough finish, the Giants enter the month of September in first place in a division almost everyone thought would be dominated by the Dodgers and Padres, and they're tied with the Rays for the majors' best record. Johnny Cueto struggled in his return from the IL, the defense was sloppy, and some key offensive contributors continued to scuffle, but the Giants are in an enviable position entering the season's stretch run.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the latest with the San Francisco Giants. Prior to Monday's series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers, Alex Wood was placed on the COVID-19 IL, and Johnny Cueto was placed on the COVID-19 protocol list. Cueto is ill but has tested negative for COVID-19. The Giants cannot afford to lose both starters for an extended period. Their rotation has been wobbly lately anyway, and losing 40% of their starting staff as September rolls in does not bode well. However, the team claimed Jose Quintana off waivers yesterday, and he could spot start. The Giants lost the game against Corbin Burnes and the Brewers, a team that nobody would want to face in October. Burnes completely shut the Giants down, and he's one of three aces on their staff. The Giants had some chances, but they hit into some very bad luck throughout the course of the game, including at some critical moments.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The Giants' magic number was reduced to 17, and the playoffs are very much in sight. Logan Webb continued to look like an ace, but Kevin Gausman continued his inconsistent second half and Anthony DeSclafani was hit hard in his first game off the injured list. The Giants' upcoming schedule is a bit daunting, but they've been able to keep winning lately despite playing good teams.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' crushing win over the New York Mets. Brandon Belt homered twice after losing his grandmother earlier that day. The Giants added four home runs to their MLB lead and are on pace to shatter their franchise record. The Giants also guaranteed they would not have five losing seasons for the first time in franchise history with win No. 81 last night. On the mound, Sammy Long was brilliant over 5.1 innings, filling in for the injured Anthony DeSclafani. It was a gutsy, much-needed outing for the young lefty, who could play an important role down the stretch and for seasons to come with the Giants.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the key performers on the MLB-best San Francisco Giants. Last week he talked about the team numbers that have led to the team's success, and today he describes the individual players who have made such an impact. Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford have had monster seasons worthy of MVP consideration, but what about lesser known players like LaMonte Wade Jr.? What about Mike Yastrzemski? On the pitching side, he discusses Kevin Gausman, Logan Webb, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Johnny Cueto, and more. He also talks about Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers, and others who have made up an extremely underrated Giants bullpen.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned was that the Giants set pinch-hit history with late, dramatic pinch homers by LaMonte Wade Jr. and Donovan Solano. The second thing we learned was that Logan Webb continued his stretch of dominance and has emerged as a front-line starter, and that Kevin Gausman continued to struggle. Finally, we learned that Evan Longoria and Anthony DeSclafani were placed on the IL (Longoria with vaccine side effects), and that the Giants' projected rotation in New York looks shaky.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' key statistics at the season's 3/4 mark. Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford have fueled a potent offense, and their defense hasn't hurt either. On the pitching side, the Giants put the ball on the ground and limit free passes, which makes them a top-10 unit in the league overall.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Mike Yastrzemski really hasn't hit at all. are they concerned about him? Is there any discussion about Yastrzemski and his struggles? Sure seems like he can’t catch up to hard stuff, especially up in the zone. He consistently fouls off good pitches to hit, swings through hard stuff up, and soft stuff in the dirt. Looks like he could use an IL stint. Why Tyler Chatwood over Jay Jackson? Simply a matter of Jackson having pitched recently so they needed a fresh arm? Or, is this a long-term move? Might be blasphemy to say, but doesn’t it seem like LaMonte Wade Jr. watches a lot of strike three calls? Sorry, very minor critique of a very productive player. Was Farhan Zaidi punking other GM's when he said publicly that starting pitching was his priority at the trade deadline? Are there any starting pitching options that could potentially be called up? Especially given some of the recent injuries to our current staff.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' last two games against the New York Mets. Logan Webb was brilliant again on Tuesday, continuing his breakout season and leading the Giants to a win. Webb has a 1.64 ERA in his last 11 starts, and has allowed two runs or fewer in in all of them, tying a franchise record. Tommy La Stella and Evan Longoria homered in support of Webb.

On Wednesday, Anthony DeSclafani had to exit in the second inning with right ankle discomfort. The bullpen put up a valliant effort, but Jake McGee allowed the Mets to tie the game with one run in the 9th, and the newest Giant Tyler Chatwood imploded in extras. The middle of the Giants lineup was not at all productive in the loss.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' win over the Mets, and Kris Bryant's stated desire to stay with the Giants. Bryant said that being with the Giants "feels right," and hinted at his desire to sign an extension, even before he reaches free agency at the end of the season. Ben explores what a Bryant extension might look like, and adds it onto potential deals for Buster Posey, Kevin Gausman, and Brandon Belt.
