Welcome back everyone! This week the boys discuss the home opener for both the San Jose and San Francisco Giants, their performances in the White Sox and Dodgers series, the changes in some stadiums regarding beer sales, the Tampa Bay Rays record start, Kapler’s concern for spanish speaking players, Rob is back with the power rankings, and Gabe takes suggestions for a possible team in Utah.

The MLB season is underway, and although the Giants didn’t get off to the start we wanted, we’re still hopeful for a good season. Besides, baseball is back and that’s all that matters. We kick off our 1st podcast of the 2023 season talking about Forever Giants’ Sergio Romo, and reflecting back on some of his memorable moments as a Giants. We look back at the electric World Baseball Classic tournament and the movie script ending, congrats to Japan on winning the tournament and well played tournament. LET’S GO GIANTS!

Rules Rules Rules! The new MLB rules are in full effect and we discuss the pros and cons...mostly cons when it comes to the pitch clock.. On the bright side, beer prices are down to a whopping $9 a pint. We talk Manny Machado's big pay day, a plethora of injuries throughout the league, and our plans to attend both SJ and SF Giants games!

RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it,Tim McCarver. Today we discuss the passing of a legend in MLB, pitcher and catchers reporting for duty, Derek Jeter’s deal with FOX for commentating, and of course, our San Francisco Giants.

…..well not quite yet, but we are back with the 1st episode 2023. Even though the offseason hasn’t gone the way we wanted so far. We are still here to root for our team and we’re not going anywhere. Rule changes, hall of fame inductees, MLB the Show cover, and new faces on the Giants are some of the topics of discussion today.

Weeeellllllllll shit, Judge is off the books, along with Degrom, Bogarts, Verlander, Turner, Nimmo…what the f**k are the Giants going to do now? Are they going to turn to Correa now? Let’s not get started on Bonds not making the HOF…anyways, we had drinks and vented out…enjoy the show!

Things are still a little slow in the baseball world, and we’re all still awaiting news on when and where Judge is going to sign. Logan Webb and Joc Pederson will be in the WBC, but not on the same team. Unfortunately, sad news from the Giants community as the legend Gaylord Perry peacefully passed away this morning. 

What a week of baseball awards where the best of the best is recognized for their on and off the field achievements. A lot of news coming out front MLB’s front office, including All Star game hosts, responses to Pete Rose’s letter. We dive into the latest transactions in MLB, including some moves that the Giants needed to make. 

The 2022 season has come to an end and the Astros have come out on top. Now the offseason begins and all eyes are pointed at Aaron Judge. Giants have work to do and the check book better be open. Find out how Barry Bonds has another shot at the Hall of Fame, and Pete Rose is about to make history in Ohio. 

The gang is all here and we even have friend of the pod Erick on to help us discuss the drama in the current MLB playoffs, the Giant’s new GM hire, the Red’s newest announcement that is a slap in the face to Pete Rose, Carlos Correa’s guest broadcast interview, and Randy Johnson’s new career after baseball.

That's all for the regular season! Playoffs are about to begin and even though our Giants didn't make it..this seems like it's going to be playoffs to remember. New playoff structure, and expanded teams...means only one thing- whatever happens, someone is going to be bitchin'. We dive into the historic milestones and record breaking performances, including Judge's AL single season home run record.

Finally...we're all back together in the studio and working nicely as a team...unlike Zack Littell. As for the Giants...It's alll overrrrrrrr...Aaron Judge! Help us please!! Before he joins the Giants next year, he's chasing history by surpassing Roger Maris with the most single season home runs in the American League. Albert Pujols is inching closer to 700. Did I mention the Giants suck? WE STILL LOVE THEM THOUGH!!! GO GIGANTES! KICK SOME BLUE SMURF BUTT!
