  • Regular listening recommended for any SF Giants fan

    As a fan who grew up on the West Coast (my thumbs just mis-spelled it as ‘sweet-coast’, which is pretty accurate), I am now living in the Midwest and don’t get enough opportunities to watch the Giants (always prefer a game in SF over Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or Cincinnati!). Alex, the insider realist and Cole, the fan with familial connections - these now friends are fun to listen to for team updates, insights and discussions. While they never truly let me get a word in, I am still regularly ... more

  • Get Alex’s book - The Franchise!!!!

    I started listening to this podcast about a year and a half ago and now just have a running countdown in my head until the next episode. It helps me to feel connected to my team and to understand more of what’s going on in the background. It’s joyful and a great thing to look forward to in light of the world around us throwing incessant curveballs our way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why San Francisco is unlikely to make any more pitching additions
Q: Are the Giants trying to keep money available for a big free agent next off season?
It's not primarily about a lockout, but rather a reluctance to commit to this year's weak free agent class, possibly saving funds for a stronger class next year.
Why San Francisco is unlikely to make any more pitching additions
Q: What are the chances of signing Scherzer and would it be beneficial?
Scherzer's connection with the organization might allow for a deal, but his age and the need for the Giants to fill their roster in unique ways complicate expectations.
Why San Francisco is unlikely to make any more pitching additions
Q: Do you think the Giants will regret not signing Emaj?
It seems like a good contract on paper, but Giants management believed he was more of a backend starter, and there are concerns he could become a reliever over time.
Giants set sights on Brendan Donovan as free-agent market dwindles
Q: What does treating players like pros mean for the Giants?
Those that have earned it will be treated like pros, while those learning habits need to earn that respect.
Giants set sights on Brendan Donovan as free-agent market dwindles
Q: What is the plan for Joe Suar's development?
He is likely to start in the Arizona Complex League but could see some time in San Jose.
