Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

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 is that Brandon Crawford signed a two-year, $32M extension to stay in San Francisco. Crawford is enjoying a career year at age 34, and the deal is a win for both sides. The second thing we learned was that the Crawford extension gives the Giants roster flexibility, particularly regarding what they'll do this winter with an all-time shortstop free agent class. Finally, the third thing we learned was that the Giants activated Evan Longoria off the 60-day IL, Sammy Long was recalled to start Saturday's game (and then optioned after the game), and Anthony DeSclafani was activated off the IL to start on Friday. The Giants ended up taking three out of four from the Rockies this weekend, and next will welcome the New York Mets into town.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francsico Giants' 7-0 win over the Rockies on Thursday night at Oracle Park. Logan Webb was fantastic again, firing six shutout innings and nearly hitting a grand slam. LaMonte Wade Jr. hit another home run, raising his season total to 15. When the Giants acquired Wade Jr., people wondered if he'd ever hit for power, and he has put those questions to rest. Finally, Ben discusses the Giants opening up a five-game lead in the NL West, leading to betting sites and projection systems believing the Giants may finally be favored to win the division.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' 7-2 win and series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. Kevin Gausman started off great, but ended up losing his command in what amounted to another shaky outing. Buster Posey, LaMonte Wade Jr., Brandon Crawford, and Alex Dickerson hit home runs. Prior to the game Johnny Cueto was placed on the IL and Thairo Estrada was recalled. The bullpen tossed four scoreless innings to close out the Giants' league-leading 73rd victory.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' resilient 8-7 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. Kris Bryant delivered the walk-off in the 9th, Buster Posey wasn't retired in five plate appearances, Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, and Mike Yastrzemski scorched the ball. Alex Wood was brilliant early but fell apart in the 6th. Jake McGee blew a save, allowing his first earned run(s) since May 30th. But the resilient Giants shrugged it all off and won anyway.

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: Am I right to have given up on Alex Dickerson and Austin Slater? Do you think poor outfield play (Slater/Dickerson) will result in a call up from Triple-A? Heliot Ramos is the obvious OF we all think of, but Joe McCarthy’s OPS is almost 1.000. What pending free agents are returning next season? Sean Hjelle just got promoted to Triple-A yesterday. What do you think is the likelihood we see him make an appearance or even a start in the majors this season, particularly given all the question marks around our rotation right now? The September roster expansion is inexplicably limited to just two additional players this season. Barring injuries, Steven Duggar and Thairo Estrada would seem to be the likely candidates. Do you see them going with a third catcher though? If so, Joey Bart or Chadwick Tromp?

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 proved they can contend with anyone, winning another series against a top team. Brandon Belt and Tommy La Stella returned to the lineup and made an immediate impact. Kevin Gausman was placed on paternity leave and then reinstated, leading to Aaron Sanchez being DFA'd. Steven Duggar and Thairo Estrada were optioned so the Giants could add pitching depth to the major league roster. The Giants signed Tyler Chatwood, Matt Shoemaker, and Logan Ondrusek to minor league deals.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick looks back on the trade deadline from the San Francisco Giants' perspective. Along with Locked On Diamondbacks' Millard Thomas, he talks about the Giants landing Kris Bryant, and the impact of Max Scherzer heading to the second-place Dodgers. Both the Giants and Padres were rumored to be interested in Scherzer, and Ben and Millard discuss what it means that both teams missed and that Scherzer—and Trea Turner—landed with the reigning World Series champs.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks with Locked On D-backs host Millard Thomas about the San Francisco Giants' miraculous comeback win in Arizona on Thursday afternoon. Kris Bryant and LaMonte Wade Jr. came through with huge hits as the Giants erased a four-run 9th-inning deficit. The Giants' bullpen also came through with six scoreless innings after starter Alex Wood was only able to go four innings. Merrill Kelly was great for Arizona through eight innings, but the D-backs bullpen, which has been bad all year, allowed the Giants to come back and eventually win the game.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about what the San Francisco Giants' acquisition of Kris Bryant, and the Dodgers' acquisition of Max Scherzer, means for the NL West in 2021 and beyond.

They also discuss the deadline as a whole, and some interesting new trends that emerged, including teams' newfound willingness to part with top prospects in deals.
