00:01Yeah, so the Giants have lost four in a row now, they're 1-7 at home, lost game one to
00:07the Phillies, yesterday they gave up a lead.
00:11They were up 4-0, partner, I was like, oh, they got this, they got this.
00:15Yeah, a couple things, you know, Ryan Barucchi obviously comes in, gets touched up, and a
00:234-2 lead, gets the 6-4.
00:27I hope you're happy.
00:30Matt Chapman met with the media extensively yesterday, before the game.
00:34Yeah, I saw it.
00:35Yeah, so he addressed everything from Sunday, are you okay?
00:38Yeah, I'm okay, and hey, they got bigger fish to fry than that one, but I'm glad Chappie
00:43did that, but I don't recognize his teams, Donnie, and I'm looking at these averages,
00:47Adamus, 214, and if you want to tell me, and I kind of need to hear it,
00:52whoo, he's a notorious slow starter, maybe you don't, last year didn't culminate with a
00:56playoff berth. Maybe you can't afford the slow start, but 214, Chapman, 262, 252, Devers,
01:05190, Ramos, 209, Lee, 162, and I just think about Adamus, Devers, and Lee, that's where
01:11your money's at, and you're just not getting your bang for your buck.
01:14So, you know, again, last night, they do give you a four-run lead, and you can't hold on to
01:20it,
01:20so I don't know where this thing is going. I just know, when you look at the payroll,
01:25they paid for more than they're getting in regard to the bang for their buck.
01:29Yeah, and nobody wants to hear this, but, I mean, this was a, this, these were the worst
01:34teams the Giants probably could have played to start a season, because they have a lot
01:39of uncertainty, and yet those other teams they're playing all kind of know who they
01:43are, and again, I know nobody wants to hear it, but, um, don't you still just got to go hit
01:50the
01:50ball, field the ball, throw the ball? Um, yeah, so, I mean, my question is, through 11 games,
01:57they look exactly like last year, right? They do, they do, and go ahead.
02:00So, what does that, what does that mean, if you're a Giants fan?
02:02I, I think, I'm not ready, I need some more time, but I'm, I'm in the lab writing an apology
02:08letter to Bowmail, maybe. Maybe I overestimated this collective group of talent.
02:13It's, like you said, it's 11 games, they got to get out of it, but right now, they just,
02:18yeah, they are not hitting the ball at all, and they got, what about this nugget?
02:23They got one homegrown, uh, guy in the infield, and that's Bailey behind the plate.
02:29You went shopping for everything else, and, you know, the rest of the diamond, but, man,
02:33Adamus endeavors, for whatever reason, are not putting it together, and Ramos is off to a
02:37slow start, but Jung-Hoo Lee, when are we, I mean, I mean, he's getting paid, Stani, what
02:42do you do there?
02:43This was supposed to be your prototypical leadoff hitter, and thank God for a rise.
02:47I mean, he's the only one showing life, batting 295.
02:51Yeah, I mean, the bottom line is that the, the three high pay, or the four high pay guys
02:56haven't been producing.
02:58And they're, that's not a, it is a Vitello problem, because he manages them, but we can't
03:03put that at the doorstep of him, regardless of his, of his wordplay and, and, and stuff we
03:08hear after the game.
03:09I got a question for, for Bay Area sports fans.
03:13We were talking a little yesterday about pods getting booed.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Why doesn't, why doesn't Patrick Bailey get booed?
03:23Why doesn't he get booed?
03:25He's hitting 100.
03:27Yeah.
03:29Why doesn't Patrick Bailey get booed?
03:31I'm going to go Prince Rogers Nelson, uh, rest in peace to the great out of Minneapolis.
03:37I'm going to say he doesn't have the, the curls, the hair flowing, the locks.
03:42I don't know.
03:43I, and the reason I just bring that up early on a Tuesday morning after a great knockout
03:47event at chase center, which we all enjoyed.
03:50I got to believe some of that just rubs what dub nation the wrong way in regard to pods
03:55and Bailey looks like a regular dude, but maybe that's why.
03:58But doesn't Oh 92 rub people the wrong way.
04:01I just hate watching them come to the plate.
04:04I just feel like it's a automatic out and I don't dislike the guy, but it's like, my gosh,
04:09if these were the 27 Yankees and you were scoring a hundred runs, it would be cute.
04:14Okay.
04:15Go out there, Patrick.
04:17But damn, I don't, I don't know what they got to get out of it soon.
04:20Cause he can get laid early.
04:21How about that?
04:23I mean, what'd you say the home record was one in seven?
04:26That's like, I mean, people are got jobs and families and money and bills.
04:31What does that have to do?
04:31Three and seven.
04:32You're spending money to come see the giants play at home and one up seven down.
04:37That's not good.
04:38Well, they're getting their sea legs.
04:39Okay.
04:40All right.
04:40That's what I keep telling myself.
04:42I don't know if they're going to get their sea legs or not.
04:44I just, you know, for the life of me, you know, for the life of me, I just looked at
04:51this team compared to last year's team.
04:53It's pretty similar.
04:54And they had a, they had a big league manager last year and they were, they were a 500 team,
05:01which they were the year before.
05:02And the year before that, and I don't, I'm not really sure why this is, this team is 10 wins
05:10better or nine wins better or even five wins better than last year.
05:15Can, can somebody explain why they think that this team's better than last year's team?
05:21Well, I thought the addition of Bader and Arise, you know, would help them.
05:26And I know those aren't two superstars, but they're two, I thought, good players and Bader obviously off to a
05:31slow start with a measly 132 batting average.
05:34But what did I hear this morning?
05:36Sonny, the average batting number in the Major League Baseball is 240.
05:43All right.
05:43So it's not like, you know, what did we have?
05:45Only a couple guys hit 300 last year.
05:47So that's not a death sentence.
05:49It's just timely hitting the Giants aren't getting.
05:51But you asked me before I could see the rotation and I got some concerns now.
05:55But I thought it was a mentality.
05:57I thought it was the pilot on the stove.
06:00I thought it was fire.
06:01And I thought Vitella was going to bring that.
06:03And maybe they wouldn't go through the doldrums that they did, the Giants collectively, like they did last year.
06:09But I feel like, you know, three and eight is, that's nasty.
06:14And are we closer to four and eight than three and nine, three and 10?
06:19Well, we'll find out.
06:20Well, they're still playing good teams and they're not playing well enough to be good teams right now.
06:26When's the honeymoon for Buster over in regard to, and I love Buster and I'm rooting for him.
06:31And it feels different because he was a steward and an OG in this organization and won three rings.
06:36But unlike Vitello, I don't know how much Vitello is doing the lineup himself.
06:41I'm sure there's a group effort in that.
06:43So there's blame to go around for the slow start.
06:46But how much does Buster, or is it too soon to just question, this collective of talent that he's put
06:52together?
06:53Well, I was listening to the morning roast today and Joe Shasky was talking about the Niners and he compared
06:58Lynch and Shanahan to Posey and Vitello.
07:03And, you know, he chronicled the first two years of John Lynch.
07:08And he's right.
07:09They weren't very good.
07:11Now, I feel like they started from a lower place than where the Giants have been.
07:15I mean, the Giants are smack dab a 500 team and that's who they've been for, you know, for four
07:20years.
07:21So some people say it's harder to make a team, you know, jump from 500 to, you know, 550 or
07:29whatever it is.
07:30But the 49ers were coming off the Chip Kelly era and they were 2-14.
07:36So they started in a horrible spot.
07:41Buster Posey inherited, you know, and Buster Posey, you know, has inherited Farhan Zaidi,
07:49who inherited Bobby Evans and neither of them have been able to move the needle yet.
07:54I'm old school.
07:56You're not too far behind me just in regard to how I like my baseball played and how I watch
08:01it.
08:01And I look at the Phillies.
08:02They haven't won anything in a while, but, you know, they've been competitive.
08:05I just, there's something to me.
08:06And I think about the great Ricky Henderson, rest in peace, where you know who's starting,
08:11who's going to lead off the game.
08:12And Trey Turner's been that for the Phillies.
08:15And I look at the Giants and there's just musical chairs just, and this is one nugget.
08:20It's not why they're 3-8.
08:21But, damn it, when are you going to get it fixed or when is it going to get rectified,
08:25who your lead off hitter is?
08:27And that's why I keep going to Jung-Hoo Lee.
08:29He came here to the Giants when it was announced.
08:32And I thought they had for the next decade or next six, seven years, their lead off hitter.
08:38And now we got Adamas, we got Arise, we got Debra.
08:41It's just like, let's start there.
08:43But it just goes to Lee and his ineptitude at the plate, man.
08:49Yeah.
08:49All right.
08:50888-957-9570.
08:53Also, Goo, I want you to think of this text from Boxer and Gerson, work injury attorney's text line.
08:58I don't understand what this means.
08:59We'll visit on the other side.
09:00Somebody said, Steiner, you just equated Giants fans with Dub Nation.
09:05That's a mistake.
09:07Huh.
09:08I didn't know there was a difference in fan bases there.
09:11Anyway, that segment was brought to you by Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water.
