September 20, 2018 9/20/18: Episode 80 - The *positive* season finale with Roger Munter!
Now that we've reached the end of the minor league season, Roger Munter is here to break down the Giants' 2018 and give us a sense of the system as a whole. For the second consecutive season, the entire organization has been populated by losing teams and underperforming players. Is there hope for 2019? This is a POSITIVE PODCAST! Roger has great things to say about the top of the Giants system and so there's plenty of reason to be optimistic about the near and distant future of our favorite baseball team.
We also answer a couple of Twitter questions.
This is the season finale and next time you hear the podcast, it'll sound different and maybe even have a new host or two. We sought out your feedback for what you'd like to hear in the future and how you'd want us to consider improving the show, but if you missed that initial post, don't hesitate to post your comments down below.
Thanks for listening!

June 08, 2018 Chroncast Special: Roger Munter reviews the Giants' Draft
You know the Giants drafted catcher Joey Bart with the #2 overall pick, but was he the absolute right fit for the Giants? And how else did they do with their slightly unconventional selections? Did their draft strategy suggest a new organizational philosophy? All of these questions and more are answered as Bryan and Roger have a one-on-one about the 2018 MLB Draft.

May 07, 2018 5/7/18: Episode 79 - Gran Torino
The Padres had been running circles around the Giants and the Braves had been pounding all of baseball with their vaunted youth movement, so it came as a welcome surprise when the Giants left Atlanta with a sweep. We talk all about the standouts from that series and how the new coaches might be helping out with this turn of events. We also make our picks to click and answer your Twitter questions.

April 30, 2018 4/30/18: Episode 78 - Giants Punch Back
For all the rightful attention Pablo Sandoval has received because of his tremendous inning of relief Saturday afternoon, there’s still the small matter of the Giants maintaining relevance in the NL West and their industry as they close out the first month of the season. Without their #1 and #3 starter, despite their #2 starter lost to DL time for a time, their starting left fielder unable to compete and their hot-hitting backup suddenly knocked out with an injury, and a now uncertain future for their prime second baseman, the Giants will end the month around the .500 mark for the first time since 2016.
That means we’ve seen a lot of positive results for a team that’s been mired in bad process for nearly two seasons and it certainly suggests that there’s perhaps been a change in the process. Naturally, we’re on the case discussing everything that happened this past week as well as projecting the week ahead. We also make our picks to click and answer your Twitter questions.

April 23, 2018 4/23/18: Episode 77 - Beltcast
Brandon Belt gets a lot of guff because he’s not good all the time when many people think he should be. Well, he was good and more this past week and, so, it’s only fair that we dwell on that Belty goodness and enjoy how everything that happened could’ve only happened to Brandon Belt.
But it’s not *just* about Belt, even though this is the Beltcast. Bryan and Sami are awestruck by how well the pitching staff has held up in the absence of Bumgarner and Samardzija. What's going on with Johnny Cueto's changeup? And how does the new coaching staff seem to be impacting Bruce Bochy's decision-making? Also, we explore Sami's ability to pick the right picks to click and we answer some of your Twitter questions.

April 16, 2018 4/16/18: Episode 76 - 6-9
The Giants are off to a 6-9 start for the second consecutive season and Brandon Belt has been benched repeatedly for striking out at the wrong time... for the umpteenth consecutive season. Can Doug and Sami convince Bryan that the Giants *won't* change their ways at this point if they haven't shown a willingness to before?

April 09, 2018 4/9/2018: Episode 75 - Joe Panik: The Most Hated Man in LA
After an eventful first week of the season, Bryan, Doug, and Sami try to figure out just exactly how it all went so well for the Giants. Were the offseason moves enough? Is the bullpen for real? Is Joe Panik reall the most hated man in Los Angeles?
And there's also a lot of talk about Andrew McCutchen's walk-off home run against the Dodgers from Saturday night, because that's exceptional news. The Giants beat the Dodgers on a walk-off home run. Andrew McCutchen instantly became a part of Giants history.

April 02, 2018 Chroncast Special: Minor Lines Recap and Forecap
Can the Giants break the boom and bust cycle of their farm system? Roger Munter was at the Spring Training complex in Arizona and got to see up close and personal a lot of the unknown players in the system. Who were the surprises? Were there any letdowns? And who's the secret player Roger thinks has a shot at being secondmost invaluable prospect behind Heliot Ramos? You'll just have to listen to find out.

March 27, 2018 3/27/18: Episode 74 - NL West Preview
We’re just 48 hours from baseball cutting loose and letting it all hang out. The excitement of Opening Day is hard to replicate. Here is the Chroncast’s way of priming the pump for what’s sure to be a baseball binge for some of you and a “I can’t wait to watch Ty Blach hit a home run off of Clayton Kershaw” day of preparation for the rest of you.
Eric Stephen of True Blue LA talks about how the Dodgers might not have a unanimous rookie of the year on their roster this season and that because of the competitive balance tax won’t have the infuriating level of depth in starting pitching. Will these weaknesses help the Giants stay in the NL West race? Probably not.
Roy Thomasson comes over from Gaslamp Ball to describe a Padres team that feels like a complete unknown populated by total strangers to remind us that Wil Myers, Eric Hosmer, and Chase Headley (yes, that Chase Headley) are anything but strangers and that the Padres, while being in a transition year, are still carrying a lot of interesting players who will make the Giants miserable. Again.
Jen Mac Ramos chimes in with Diamondbacks notes and how the shift in organizational philosophy helped them get competitive in a hurry, but also warns that their belief in their own quality of talent depth might not match the reality. They also talk about how Tim Lincecum inspired a writing pursuit involving Filipino food.
And, Adam Peterson of Purple Row grants us an interview not to gloat about his dead-on predictions concerning last year’s Rockies team but to talk about how this year’s prediction is tougher now that the team and organization have real expectations.
