Descripción

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back. The guys break down another up-and-down stretch of baseball, starting with one of the strangest (and most “Giants”) plays you’ll ever see from Willy Adames . They also highlight the actual bright spots, including Heliot Ramos’ big swing and Caleb Killian’s quietly dominant relief work. On the flip side, there’s plenty to unpack: Tyler Mahle’s rough outing against Cincinnati, ongoing offensive inconsistencies, and the uncomfortable reality that certain weaknesses just keep showing up. Connor and Kerry also run through a series of early-season “what matters more” questions and take a look ahead to the Dodgers series. On today’s postcard: — The debut of the “Tip Your Cap” list — Adames’ absurd, unforgettable play — Killian’s emergence and bullpen bright spots — Mahle, Houser, and rotation concerns — Early-season stock report across the roster — Dodgers fans taking over Oracle (again) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard, subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com [https://www.giantspostcards.com], and leave a rating and review — we’ll read it on the show.

episode Please Don't Trade Logan Webb artwork

Please Don't Trade Logan Webb

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back. Fresh off a trip to Omaha for the College World Series, Connor joins Kerry to discuss a Giants team that suddenly sounds willing to listen to offers on key players. The guys break down why Logan Webb remains the most fascinating name in all of this, why they still can't envision the Giants trading him, and what it would mean if the organization seriously considered moving on from cornerstone veterans. They also discuss the Giants' continued struggles at Oracle Park, why an offense-first approach still feels like a poor fit for San Francisco, and the challenges facing a team staring down 23 consecutive games. Plus: Connor shares observations from the College World Series, the Giants' recent wins over Atlanta, and thoughts on the controversy surrounding Pride Night. On today's postcard: — Logan Webb 🤝 Sunday afternoons in SF (3:55) — Why can't the Giants win at home? (14:35) — Who should the Giants trade? (24:35) — What would a Webb extension look like? (30:45) — Pride Night fiasco (34:22) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard, subscribe to Connor's newsletter at giantspostcards.com [https://www.giantspostcards.com], and leave a rating and review—we'll read it on the show.

Bryce Eldridge and the Giants' hope for tomorrow

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the most memorable Giants wins in years. Bryce Eldridge capped the team's biggest comeback since moving to San Francisco with a walk-off grand slam. What does it mean for today, tomorrow, and 2027? Connor and Kerry relive where they were for the moment, break down Jon Miller's marvelous call, and discuss what it means for a fan base that has spent years waiting for a homegrown star to break through. They also dig into another frustrating bullpen loss in Chicago, revisit the concerns they had about the relief corps back in spring training, and examine whether Tony Vitello's long-term future in San Francisco is really as uncertain as some have suggested. Plus: another round of Tip Your Cap, a tribute to Wrigley Field, and why Ryan Feltner, Miles Mikolas, and friends continue their quest to become Cy Young candidates exclusively against the Giants. On today's postcard: * Bryce Eldridge's historic walk-off grand slam * Jon Miller making his mark * Could Jung Hoo Lee be playing himself off the roster? * Tony Vitello and the never-ending dance with college baseball * Another update to the Tip Your Cap and the Wall of Fame Subscribe to Connor's newsletter at giantspostcards.com [https://www.giantspostcards.com], catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard, and leave a rating and review—we'll read it on the show.

What happened to the 2026 San Francisco Giants?

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after a brutal stretch that effectively ended the Giants' season. The guys conduct a mini-autopsy of the 2026 Giants, examining how a veteran-heavy roster built to contend became one of baseball's biggest disappointments. They debate the incorrect assumptions made by Buster Posey's front office and try to figure out what comes next for this team. Can the Giants sell another year of the same roster to fans without embracing a larger reset? On today's postcard: * What happened to the Giants? (4:08) * Worst assumption made by the front office? (18:59) * What's next for this team? (28:31) * Can the Giants stomach a rebuild? (32:37) * Will Tony V return next year?

episode Patrick Bailey is out, Bryce Eldridge is in ... or is he? artwork

Patrick Bailey is out, Bryce Eldridge is in ... or is he?

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the strangest and most revealing weeks of the Giants season, featuring a Patrick Bailey trade, another baserunning blunder, and the unexpected rise of “Babe Haase.” The guys start with Willy Adames’ brutal mistake against the Dodgers and the larger question it raised: what do Tony V and the Giants stand for? Then comes the stunner: Patrick Bailey is out. Connor and Kerry unpack why Buster Posey may have never fully bought into Bailey, how the trade represents a sharp break from the Farhan Zaidi era, and whether the move is bold, shortsighted, or both. There’s also the increasingly strange handling of Bryce Eldridge, who was called up to supposedly play every day but is instead being used more like a bench bat. And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Eric Haase turned into Babe Ruth for a night at Dodger Stadium. On today’s postcard: — Why is Eldridge on the bench? (8:30) — Inside the Saturday Night Massacre (15:45) — The birth of Eric "Babe" Haase (20:02) — More adventures on the basepaths (26:18) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard, subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com [https://www.giantspostcards.com], and leave a rating and review — the guys will read it on the show.

How is the Giants' season already on the brink?

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the clearest signals yet that the Giants know this season is slipping. Following another lifeless offensive stretch, Buster Posey pulled the last lever he could and called up Bryce Eldridge and Jesus Rodriguez—moves that say a lot more than the transaction wire alone. Connor and Kerry break down what the promotions really mean: the Giants’ expensive veteran core hasn’t done enough, and Tony V has to deliver that message to them. Plus: the latest additions to the “Tip Your Cap” list and an amusing story about Connor interviewing the late Yankees broadcaster John Sterling. On today’s postcard: — What led to Eldridge and Rodriguez's arrival (11:31) — Why these moves are Posey's last lever (25:40) — Who are the Giants without Logan Webb? (35:50) — Tip Your Cap, and remembering John Sterling (40:57) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard, subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com [https://www.giantspostcards.com], and leave a rating and review — we’ll read it on the show.
