  • 1/3 Season Review
    May 26 2025

    That's right, the season 33.333% over. Our bean counters break down the National series (the usual, good pitching not much hitting) before turning their attention to the 1/3 season review. Can the Giants actually win the West? In this economy? Is Patrick Bailey a liability or the best player on the team? Will Adames ever show up?

  • Where Have You Gone Jung Hoo?
    May 22 2025

    Well that was royally mid. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Our anti-monarchists briefly reference the very blah Royals series, sing the praises of Hayden Birdsong (KAKAW!), feign shock at Justin Verlander's move to the IL, and lament streaky offense. Then, they do the unthinkable and call out Jung Hoo Lee. (Someone has to!) Also, they discuss how the Giants can get better but they don't say the "T" word.

  • The Wins WilFlo
    May 19 2025

    It's Wilmer Flores' world, the rest of us are paying rent. Our squatters break down the series against the City-less Vagabonds: Wilmer mashes, Wilmer walks, Heliot rallies the troops. Oh, Logan Webb and Land Roupp are there too. And the bullpen! Always the bullpen. Then the brothers tell you which 2025 Giants Jersey's you should be buying starting with ... Spencer Bivens?
