Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley break down the team’s brutal stretch, the timing (and message) behind Posey’s vote of confidence (9:00), and whether or not this is actually the truest version of the 2025 Giants.

They also cover:

— Looking back at the Devers trade (45:45)
— Giants All-Star predictions: Who makes the cut? (49:20)
