About this episode

Connor and Kerry discuss the Giants' performance and address key questions after a series win over the Padres.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back—and so are the Giants. After getting swept by the Yankees, Connor fired off a stream-of-consciousness newsletter filled with a few absurd observations and questions. Now, with a series win over the Padres in hand, it’s time to revisit those questions and figure out what actually matters. Are the Giants headed for another .500 season? Can this veteran lineup handle velocity? Is Luis Arraez a defensive liability… or not? And is the bullpen actually... fine? Connor and Kerry dig into the answers. It’s part overreaction, part reality check — and a snapshot of where the Giants stand after a bizarre opening week. On today’s postcard: — Jung Hoo Lee and the endless groundout (5:18) — What can we make of the bullpen? (12:45) — Are the Giants too hold to handle the heat? (18:39) — Is Luis Arraez good at defense? Is Luis Arraez bad at defense? (22:48) — The ambiguity of ball-strike challenges (29:20) — Is Tony Vitello overwhelmed? (38:30) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard , subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com .
