The Giants ended a 1-7 stretch with their first two-game winning streak of the season by splitting a four-game series with the red hot Mets. Now they'll look to build off this success over the next six games, four at home against the Cardinals and two in Mexico City against the Padres.Doug and Bryan see plenty of positives from a mostly negative week, including J.D. Davis' surprisingly average defense and Logan Webb's continuing ability to strike dudes out. Will this week's return of Mitch Haniger and Austin Slater be just the spark the Giants need to take their on-paper decent team closer to realizing their potential? It couldn't come at a better time. Seasons aren't won in April, but they can be lost.
Meanwhile, news of Madison Bumgarner's availability following being designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks (on account of being just unbearably awful) promoted Bay Area media to ask current Giants if MadBum would be a good fit for the 2023 team. Bryan and Doug have a laugh about that. Then they get disgruntled about John Fisher's ownership of the A's and the preliminary plan to move them out of Oakland to Las Vegas. Setting aside the pain being inflicted on Oakland's fanbase, do you foresee a situation where the Giants *don't* screw this up? They're already having trouble selling out their stadium even when the Giants are far better than the A's.If you're digging the show, consider rating us on Apple Podcasts and leaving a review.
