I love your shows Brodie. As a Bay Area baseball fan I hope the Giants ownership communicates what direction they want to go in moving forward. If they can't communicate what they want to do, then the fan base is always going to be upset because there hasn't been a direction in over 10 years. If they want to rebuild, then explain that and fans can understand. Explain why we have to rebuild because our farm system is the worst in MLB. Explain on using the farm system can benefit down the road when players become better you have them for a longer time and cheaper contract to build a dynasty or able to trade those prospects to create longevity as an organization not stay int he middle of the road like a John Fisher ownership and just be happy with making money and not winning championships.
No quick fix. Years of Farhan incompetence will take years to fix. PLAY THE KIDS. At least the kids might have an upside. Better scouting and talent evaluation, and less reliance on analytics fixes the problems, OVER TIME. The Giants are NOT the proverbial " one player away from World Series contention ". They are at least three players away For the 3,456,789th time: Oracle Park punishes hitters. Free agents like Soto aren't signing here as free agents. A Soto type player will have be developed from within, or obtained in a trade. Signing pitchers as free agents is a viable strategy,but isn't a complete solution
Yep. Farhan Zaidi set us back a lot. The Giants won't be competitive until 2027, most likely 2028. Especially in the NL West. And if they keep trying fix it with band-aids (like Soler or Alonso) instead of developing or trading (holding on to Snell the whole season was the DUMBEST mistake ever) then it will take even longer. Hard truth.
Bregman and Kim would be a good start and probably at least doable for the Giants. Fitz could move to a super-utility spot and play all over the field or DH. Team needs more contact, speed and defense. Lee, Kim, Bregman, Chappy, Ramos, Fitz, Encarnacion, Yaz, and Bailey.
I don't understand why Brodie and Shea calling Bregman a gap hitter when he seems to hit for the fences (and benefitted a lot from a hitter ballpark). When I think of a gap hitter I think of a guy who hits for high average and aims for singles (e.g. Marco Scutaro). For the money that Bregman is going to want, I feel the Giants are better suited with aiming for a starting pitcher and genuine shortstop. Let Fitz play 2B if the budget is tight this year.
Giants need speed and defense. Baseball is not about home runs. It’s about good bat handling, working pitchers, stealing bases, pressure the defense into making errors. Baseball is about making the plays and good pitching. Part of building steam is to be aware of where you play half your games. Get Elly de la Cruz from Cincinnati
Then find someone who is fast and a great athlete and teach him the game. Baseball is all about percentages because you play many games. You need players who can cover lots of ground, especially in the outfield. You need players who don’t give up extra outs. You can’t win when you give them 4 outs an inning.
They need to just re build from within stop going after FA be bad if they have to for a few years O’s were horrible for more then 10 years but started to draft the right players, now they do have a decent core. Exactly what the Giants need to do, stop trying to chase LA.
Giants need to stop spending money foolishly and embrace a rebuild. They aren’t close to the Dbacks and Padres let alone the dodgers and that was WITH Blake Snell pitching like an CY Young contender now without him they’re even further away.
Bring back our old Chapman Era Boys! Keep Cahna! Add: Marcus Semien (Definitely Marcus because Bonds was his idol!) Starling Marte Sean Murphy Matt Olson
I keep saying that the Giants would REQUIRE a 50 HR hitter just to break 30 at Oracle Park, it is THAT oppressive. The Lineup needs to be a high OBS and the fastest team in baseball to be consistently putting runs on. I think that the team is going to collapse in 2025. But as long as the Giants have Greg Johnson as chairman of ownership then we are going to be an irrelevant franchise, and Posey can't do anything about that.
@@jodi183 True but that was during the Dead Ball era where HR's were harder across the board and Oracle being the most extreme in that aspect was actually a wave to surf on for the dynasty era Giants. We also had owners who were willing to do what it took to win until the Johnson's usurped control of the owner group.
@@Redpoppy80Giants have spent the money, I would not blame the owner specifically. Issue is Oracle will not draw FA hitters 2 Players don’t want to live in the Bay Area too bad a rap nationality over the last 10 years It is a different world now. Giants have just done it the wrong way, they should have just been taking the last few years and building the minors, now they are just nowhere.
The Giants will not catch the Dodgers for several years. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball history right now. The Padres and the Diamondbacks are also excellent teams as well. It will be extremely tough for the Giants to win more than 83 games playing in the NL West.
Matos, luciano, schmitt, bednar, bishop, crawford, etc none are showing. The same with hurlers. NOTHING, using Aldredge, to "not" buy a real first baseman. ?? Really? He's a couple years away, well just wait.....8 years later......unwatchable, for free!! Tix were free in august!! SF can't give away tix......nobody to root for.
I’m tired of mediocrity. The Dodgers, Padres, Arizona, all way better rosters, and are willing to spend. I’m disgusted with the team not spending to compete. Boo boo boo
Since he is replacing a algorithm, not a baseball expert, the bay area expects nothing. His roster is not as good as the rockies. He's in last place, the Sacramento A's, look more like a team with a future, than the decrepit, old, tired, giants.
Buster Posey’s performance for the Giants is unlikely to significantly improve their chances of success. The Dodgers, a team with a history of spending money to maintain their dominance, pose a formidable challenge to the Giants. It seems highly improbable that Giants ownership will allocate the necessary funds to compete effectively against the Dodgers. While Posey may serve as the team’s manager for the next 5-10 years, his impact on the team’s performance is uncertain.
Huh? Are you a prognosticator? He was brought on as President of Baseball Ops, not a manager. Everyone who knows him feels strongly that he can be great in this new role. It’s not like these Ivy League dudes that suddenly showed up to take over front offices knew what they were doing either.
This team is terrible and no moves have been made to improve them yet. In fact with the loss of Snell we’re 100x worse off this season than we were last year. After all that I don’t understand how we d a seriously say “let’s reduce payroll”. I guess a rebuild is one thing but don’t get upset when no one shows to games like that
Buster gets nothing. Fans think of this as magic, best left to proven experts. Buster is a catcher. Not an overnight executive. First timer, way far over his head, first move a costly mistake, chapman, overspend. The only player on the team, and webb, pedestrian but cheap, bailey, rising but no bat. This is NOT a team, the failure is dyed into the optical white wooley.
I don’t think Ivy League economics majors or actuaries should be running front offices and yet that’s what has been happening to the sport for over a decade.
Man, some giants fans are insufferable now. Is Buster as a POBO a risk? Yes. But declaring him a destined failure when he has barely started is insane.

We need Brodie doing giants stuff
Best way to spend 2/3 of my break! I love your videos, Brodie!!
John Shea is underestimating Tommy Edman.
Dude makes WINNING plays in every aspect of the game.
I would love him on my team.

Did anyone else notice that John Shea had these pixie sprites flying around him?...😊
LMAO what do they need, The question should be what don't they need.
Bregman and Kim would be a good start and probably at least doable for the Giants. Fitz could move to a super-utility spot and play all over the field or DH. Team needs more contact, speed and defense. Lee, Kim, Bregman, Chappy, Ramos, Fitz, Encarnacion, Yaz, and Bailey.
Ha-Seong Kim does not improve this team at all. Bregman does though.

Still young and can still be developed. Learn off Chapman and Kim . I like that idea .
Bro they wouldn’t give up Ella de la Cruz. He’s got years of control on a team friendly deal and has incredible raw talent.
Then find someone who is fast and a great athlete and teach him the game. Baseball is all about percentages because you play many games. You need players who can cover lots of ground, especially in the outfield. You need players who don’t give up extra outs. You can’t win when you give them 4 outs an inning.
Go after the Polar Bear and that would give you solid corners
They need to just re build from within stop going after FA be bad if they have to for a few years O’s were horrible for more then 10 years but started to draft the right players, now they do have a decent core. Exactly what the Giants need to do, stop trying to chase LA.
bergman joining SF would be so legit
Let’s go buster
Giants need to stop spending money foolishly and embrace a rebuild. They aren’t close to the Dbacks and Padres let alone the dodgers and that was WITH Blake Snell pitching like an CY Young contender now without him they’re even further away.
Bring back our old Chapman Era Boys!
Keep Cahna!
Add:
Marcus Semien (Definitely Marcus because Bonds was his idol!)
Starling Marte
Sean Murphy
Matt Olson
A great LOSING combination
It's futile to try to compete with the Dodgers....

The Giants won 3 rings without a big slugger. It was strong pitching and defense that ultimately got them those rings.

You aren't going to fix everything in one season. Adamis is a good start.
agreed

Eldridge is right on the cusp. We’ll see about the other guys. Ramos was an all star last season and could build on that.
What about CRAPMAN...6/151 no trade...WHY????
🟠⚫️🟠⚫️
Simple: they need to rebuild.
Nothing lol… Just weather this Dodgers storm & develop young ones
Chapman contract is really bad
Trade everyone and commit to a full rebuild.
The rivalry is between the Dodgers and the Padres. The Giants are no match for the Dodgers anymore.
Don't matter. Dodgers are loaded.
I’m tired of mediocrity. The Dodgers, Padres, Arizona, all way better rosters, and are willing to spend. I’m disgusted with the team not spending to compete. Boo boo boo

Giants had one of the younger rosters in 2024. Dodgers are the oldest team by average.
LOL A's are GARBAGE!
So much anger in you Brandon 😂
Who is this?

A’s are better team than the Giants….that’s tell it all…..100% 👍
Otanialso cited the fact that he didn't trust Zaidi
I don’t think any of the players really bought into Zaidi’s blueprint, whatever that was.
They need a 3, 4 and 5 Hitter....CRAPMAN is worthless as a 6/7 Hitter....
This team is terrible and no moves have been made to improve them yet. In fact with the loss of Snell we’re 100x worse off this season than we were last year.

Jason Schmidt 2.0
Buster gets nothing. Fans think of this as magic, best left to proven experts. Buster is a catcher. Not an overnight executive. First timer, way far over his head, first move a costly mistake, chapman, overspend. The only player on the team, and webb, pedestrian but cheap, bailey, rising but no bat. This is NOT a team, the failure is dyed into the optical white wooley.
I don’t think Ivy League economics majors or actuaries should be running front offices and yet that’s what has been happening to the sport for over a decade.
And what has a real "executive" gotten us in the last 6 years? I'll take a multi world champion baseball guy over a math nerd any day, thank you.
…and John Lynch is just a DB! Give Buster a chance.
I would rather have buster the catcher making the moves than another year with you know who
Man, some giants fans are insufferable now. Is Buster as a POBO a risk? Yes. But declaring him a destined failure when he has barely started is insane.
They need out of the west😂
Why don’t vagiants fans try to add fans in their stands
