March 05, 2016 3/4/2016: Episode 17 - "The Squire of Gothos"
Jen Mac Ramos fills in for Doug as we look back at the totally forgettable and somewhat regrettable 2006 Giants team. It's that team's 10-year anniversary, you know. And who wouldn't want to celebrate the 60 games of Shea Hillenbrand, Steve Finley's last full season, and Armando Benitez? Oh, you wouldn't? Well... that's okay!
There's a new segment called "Know Your Foe", where we breakdown the NL West opponents before the start of the season. This week it's the Colorado Rockies. What's up with Dinger? How will they defeat the Giants? Will raising the outfield walls at Coors Field do any good?
And then we answer your Twitter questions and try to figure out the pathology of the Hank the Dog conspiracy before playing a quick 90s sitcom game.

February 26, 2016 2/26/16: Episode 16 - Jason Wojciechowski
Baseball Prospectus editor and ESPN Sweet Spot network writer... and... YOOOGE A's fan Jason Wojciechowski (@jlwoj) Skypes in to talk about the joy and pain of statistical projections, the fun parts of baseball even when the odds are against your favorite squadron, the possibility of a better labor deal, and the edibility of stadium sushi.
Now, the official position of The Chroncast is that there's nothing wrong with someone being an A's fan. All points of view are welcome here. Doug does give Jason the radio equivalent of stink eye and Jason does gets out some of his angst regarding a last place team by taking some potshots at our favorite team, but in the end we all have a good time.
We also answer your Twitter questions and play a new game: SCOTUS / POTUS, wherein we nominate Giants for either SCOTUS or POTUS.

February 19, 2016 2/19/2016: Episode 15 - Carmen Kiew!
You know Carmen Kiew from her many .gifs and "The Social Media Minute" on KNBR and now from this week's McCovey Chroncast. Among the many topics covered: Spring Training and the many golf carts in Arizona, last weekend's Fan Fest, Madison Bumgarner's contract, Brandon Belt's friendship with Carmen, Willie Mays and mortality, and Kurt Manwaring for some reason. Trust me: it will all makes sense when you listen.
We also try to guess the names of Bumgarner's horses, answer your Twitter questions, and play a new game that ties the Giants to the Grammy Awards. There is singing. And, yes, you can hear this all without an echo.

February 13, 2016 2/12/2016 - Episode 14: Jen Mac Ramos
DISCLAIMER: I (Bryan) really, really blew it with our record this week. I didn't use headphones meaning the computer mic captured the audio from the speakers, which in this case the sounds were the wonderful voices of our own groug and our own Jen Mac Ramos. An attempt was made to repair the audio but, alas, I wasn't able to improve it very much. No excuses: I suck. Truly sorry about this, but if you can get through it, you'll hear some good stuff in this one. Also, there's a tangent on Mike Broadway. Really, REALLY sorry about that, too.
* * *
One of McCovey Chronicles' own, Jen Mac Ramos, joins us on the Chroncast to talk about prospects, Brandon Belt, the San Diego Padres, and Batman vs. Superman (which comes up in this week's game Belt / Barry / Thrill).
Come for Jen and Doug, consider leaving because of the echo, but stay for the Tyler Walker reference.

February 05, 2016 2/5/2016: Episode 13 - Dan Szymborski
Is Hunter Pence going to leave the Giants to become a professional gamer? What is Hearthstone and is it contagious? Dan Szymborski answers the important questions for us.
This week's Chroncast chronicles everything from baseball to trolling to Skynet to Bill Murray-led heists and to Star Trek. Perhaps a smidge too much about Star Trek, in fact, as we play a game where we try to figure out which Star Trek crew fits a particular Giant best and what role that player might have on that particular ship. But only you, fair listener, can be the judge of that.
Dan manages to troll Bryan, affirm Matt Duffy, denigrate the Giants for daring to wear orange & black, and pitch a revolutionary method for resuscitating old TV shows that have long since left syndication. There's also a heady discussion of mortality that might be a great conversation starter here, even: "Who was the first great baseball player younger than you to make you realize your own mortality?"

January 29, 2016 1/29/2016: Episode 12 - "Beyond the Sea"
This week's Chroncast deals with a very sensitive subject: the designated hitter. Many points are made by me, but none of them are coherent. Meanwhile, Doug and our guest this week -- my buddy Joe -- both pitch their cases as to why it should never sully the National League and makes sense for the National League, respectively. There's also a general discussion of the collective bargaining negotiations that will take place over the course of 2016 and what concessions either side might make to continue to keep minor leaguers away from the bargaining table and money flowing into the pockets of the establishment.
We also answer some of your Twitter questions, spend 137 seconds discussing fantasy baseball, and play an X-Files themed game.

January 22, 2016 1/22/2016: Episode 11 - Wendy Thurm
The Internet's own Wendy Thurm stops by and talks Giants, but also the Mets, Minions, and your Twitter questions. We also play a new game, "State of the Union", and get an update on our old AAV game. This episode is also now our longest episode.
There was some consideration about breaking it into two parts, but I opted not to do that because I'm a big believer in integrity. No DH in the NL, and no separating podcasts into two parts artificially. You could always stop it after a time and then come back to it later. No one's saying you can't do that. The first 45 minutes and the second 45 minutes are equally enjoyable.

January 15, 2016 1/15/2016: Episode 10 - Grant Brisbee
It's finally happened: Grant has come down to the basement to check on us to make sure we haven't flooded the place or otherwise embarrassed the family.
It's our longest chroncast and also our most ambitious. Or should we say... Grantbitious? No, no, definitely just ambitious. Forget I ever said Grantbitious.
This week's game is called Oscar Names. Someone throws out a Giants player, the other two have to come up with the name of that player's Oscar-nominated film and the category. Will Doug or Grant be able to top Bryan's example Oscar Name: Bruce Bochy for Best Actor in the drama, Aneurysm? Probably. But just to be sure, you should listen.
Also, we answer some of your Twitter questions.

January 08, 2016 1/8/2016: Episode 9 - "The Hobo Code"
Episode 9 of the McCovey Chroncast drops with a discussion of the newest Giant, Denard Span, but also a frank and explicit examination of Angel Pagan and his dreaminess effectiveness. Will two injury-plagued outfielders add up to one stellar outfield? Or will the Giants going all in on high risk/high reward free agents betray them like a hanging breaking ball?
Also, with the Hall of Fame in the news, we decline to discuss the obvious, well-trodden subjects and instead focus on the zero-vote guys who are still worthy of a conversation. We answer some Twitter questions, too. If you don't want to sign up for Twitter to ask us questions for the next Chroncast, *leave them in the comments below*!
And since 2016 is still fresh, we take a look at possible New Year's Resolutions for certain Giants. As always, your feedback is encouraged in the comments below.

December 25, 2015 12/25/2015: Episode 8 - "Confidence Man"
Merry Christmas! There's no chance you're reading this right now, but if you're not celebrating the holiday or just wanting to listen to something while making pie or taking a walk after eating pie or just got some new earphones and want to test them out, then you should consider giving the latest McCovey Chroncast a listen!
This week, I share my mixed emotions over the departure of Ryan Vogelsong, Doug comes up with the perfect Christmas present to give to Sergio Romo, and we answer your Twitter questions in no particular order.
