Pass the Kool-Aid: What we like about the 2026 SF Giants
About this episode
Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley discuss their excitement for the 2026 SF Giants, including player developments and new challenges in the game.
Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back and yes, the Kool-Aid is flowing. The guys break down what has them excited heading into 2026: an offense that should be above average (finally), a full season of Rafael Devers launching balls into the cove, Bryce Eldridge’s continued development—including some curious work in the outfield—and the simple fact that the Giants are back in the national conversation. The guys also hit on how Vitello might handle the pressure of bullpen management, the impact of the World Baseball Classic, and what to expect from ball-strike challenges this season. On today’s postcard: — What we’re most excited about in 2026 (5:56) — Is spring training a good learning ground for Vitello? (28:58) — Why is Eldridge working in the outfield?
