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 the Giants are legitimately one of the best teams in baseball. Gabe Kapler's Giants stuck it to his old team again, as they improved to an MLB-best 46-26. The second thing we learned is that Sammy Long has earned a continued look in the Giants' rotation, which is a great development with Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Aaron Sanchez, and Johnny Cueto set to reach free agency after the season. The final thing we learned is that John Brebbia joined the Giants' re-made bullpen, which has seen Dominic Leone, Zack Littell, and Jimmie Sherfy added in recent weeks. Quietly, the Giants' bullpen, with Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee still anchoring the back end, has been very effective over the last couple of months.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' thrilling 9-8 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, in which Mike Yastrzemski's splash-hit grand slam completed the Giants' comeback from down 7-0. Zack Littell and Sammy Long combined to put the Giants in an early hole, but the offense, led by Steven Duggar, Brandon Belt, and Donovan Solano, chipped away and put Yastrzemski in position in the bottom of the 8th.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francsico Giants' much-needed win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Alex Wood pitched great, and Dominc Leone, Tyler Rogers, and Jake McGee shut the door. Brandon Crawford had a big night at the plate, as did Brandon Belt, Donovan Solano, and Mike Yastrzemski.

Also discussed on today's show is MLB's memo on its new policies regarding the use of foreign substances on the baseball. This is a huge ongoing story that will affect the Giants in many ways. It could also affect the action on the field in a very meaningful way moving forward.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The number one thing we learned is that the Giants' bats went ice cold in DC. Brandon Belt and Steven Duggar struck out almost every time they came to the plate, and mainstays like Buster Posey, Mike Yastrzemski, and Brandon Crawford didn't do much either (although Posey's solo homer was enough to secure a 1-0 win in the first game).

We also learned that Anthony DeSclafani is a very good starter for the Giants, something that was in doubt after he allowed 10 earned runs to the Dodgers recently. Mike Tauchman continued to scuffle at the plate, but made another game-saving catch, robbing Juan Soto of a homer in the Giants' 1-0 win on Friday.

Finally, we learned that Tauchman's spot on the roster continues to be safe because he doesn't have minor league options, and that Duggar could be optioned to get Darin Ruf back onto the roster as early as today. Also, Curt Casali came off the IL, with Chadwick Tromp headed back to Triple-A; Caleb Baragar was also optioned to add Yastrzemski off the IL. John Brebbia, signed in the offseason and recovering from Tommy John surgery, is also close to returning off the IL.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details what to expect as the San Francsico Giants begin a four-game series against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. Anthony DeSclafani will take on Scherzer tonight, then Kevin Gausman, Johnny Cueto, and Alex Wood go up against TBD, Joe Ross, and Jon Lester. The Giants should have the advantage in three of the four games. Their offense is superior, even though Juan Soto and Trea Turner are terrifying, and the bullpens are relatively evenly matched.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' polar opposite two games in Texas. In the first game, Mike Tauchman and Brandon Crawford played hero in the Giants' thrilling come-from-behind win. In the second game, Sammy Long was brilliant in his MLB debut, but Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee could not hold off the Rangers' bats as the Giants lost late leads and ultimately the game.

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: At what point do the injuries become too much? So far we haven’t skipped a beat with guys like Steven Duggar, LaMonte Wade Jr., and Jason Vosler playing so well. The Giants have a 10 game stretch coming up against last place teams. What would you consider a successful record during that stretch? Do you have any thoughts on the idea that the Mike Tauchman acquisition was made with an eye to the future? Working with the hitting coaches to forge a swing change could unlock more contact and power and make him a dangerous hitter with the eye he has, but would need to wait a season?
