The Giants' struggles continue, and this episode of the Sports Leader podcast delves into the team's recent performance and what it might mean for their future. The Giants lost two out of three to the Colorado Rockies, a team with a worse record than them, and it's clear that they're not where they want to be. In this episode, the speaker talks to Andy Baggarly from the Athletic about the team's pitching and defense, and how they might need to make some changes to get back on track.
The conversation covers the Giants' bullpen, which has been a major issue for the team, and the importance of having reliable pitching and defense. The speaker and Andy discuss the team's recent series against the Rockies, and how they might have learned something from it. They also talk about the team's prospects, including Casey Schmitt, who's been doing well at third base, and the possibility of him becoming a regular there.
The Giants' farm system is also a topic of discussion, with the speaker and Andy talking about the team's young players, including Matt Wilkinson, who's been doing well despite a hamstring injury. They also mention the upcoming draft, and the team's need for pitching prospects. The conversation is informative and insightful, and gives listeners a good idea of what's going on with the Giants.
