The Boston Red Sox came to town to see a familiar face in Rafael Devers, this time Rafi is sporting the orange and black. What we had was an exciting, gritty and emotional roller coaster weekend of baseball. One that culminated in the Giants walking away with the series victory! I'll cover the Giants series win over the Sox, the recent hot streak of Casey Schmitt and how that could increase his playing time once Matt Chapman returns and the upcoming stretch against favorable opponents.

Buster Posey makes a huge splash landing Boston Red Sox slugger, Rafael Devers that shook up the baseball world. A move that will hopefully provide an necessary spark to a rather otherwise inept Giants offense. I talk what led to the trade, the package headed back to Boston for Devers and the impact it has for the Giants and the fans.

Giants sweep the Braves and now have won 5 in a row! Giants seemingly have caught fire once again! And with a series against The Rockies on deck and the first meeting against the arch rival coming up, this stretch becomes crucial for the Giants. I'll discuss the series and how the Giants have looked during this winning streak.

Giants got off to a hot start and now they've cooled off. We dive into what the Giants are currently. And what's working and what’s not. And we talk about the recent roster shake up that was long overdue.

Giants went to The Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field to square off against the Chicago Cubs. Giants pull off a series victory after a rough game 1 loss. The Giants have an incredible extra innings win, which saw them make history and a unconventional win bearing the elements. I talk about the Giants series win and where that puts them in the early goings of the 2025 season.

Giants have their first bit of adversity this season. The Giants offense has considerably cooled off in recent days and it's been an issue that can ultimately affect the Giants long term if they don’t fix it. In this episode, we discuss the Giants' struggles offensively and touch on two particular players who have struggled the worst.

NOTE- This episode was recorded before Friday night’s game against COL.

The 2025 Giants despite Tuesday's loss to the Phillies are still in the midst of a strong start to the year. Today I discuss what is going right for the Giants, what can be better and the difference between this team and last years.

The Giants end their first road trip on the season on a high. They take care of the Astros in Houston to complete a three game sweep! And end with a 5-1 road trip and start to the 2025 season. I discuss all the good things the Giants did to win this series and the momentum they carry going into their first homestand in San Francisco. All this and more on this edition of 2nd & King!

The Giants open up 2025 with a series dub on the road in Cincy. After a thrilling comeback win on opening day and dropping the 2nd game, the Giants would put it together to leave Cincy with a series win!. I will talk about all that went well in the series and how this gives them a boost of confidence going into their next series with Houston. All this on this edition of 2nd & King!!

The Giants open 2025 with a miraculous come from behind win in the ninth inning against the Reds in Cincinnati. We see what went right for the Giants, key contributors and things that could've gone better.

The Buster Posey Era in SF is well underway and with that it's time for some reflection on the tenure of former president of baseball operations, Farhan Zaidi. A run that was mostly filled with disappointment and middling performance from the team, which after the 2024 season, Zaidi was shown the door. Today we discuss, the good and the bad that came with Farhan Zaidi.

The San Francisco Giants are a Spring Training juggernaut at the moment. Boasting the best record in the cactus league. But how serious should we take these results? And the vibes in Giants' camp is at an all time high right now and I believe this and a strong spring can only be beneficial to the Giants. And I will also give my predictions on the opening day roster. I have some takes on the roster and what they should do with the starting rotation/bullpen. All this and more on this edition of 2nd & King!!

Most of the Giants' 2025 roster has been filled out, but there are still plenty of interesting battles for jobs this spring. Today we touch on some of the more intriguing battles going on in camp.

Spring Training is in full swing and so far a few players have impressed and are turning heads for the Giants. Also, we have our first round of roster cuts from camp, with some notable names.

Giants have a lot of young talent that they are looking to evaluate. Which ones can provide a spark and be key contributors to the Giants in 2025? Today we'll discuss a few players in detail and how they can be the X factor that allows the Giants to compete in 2025.

With baseball back on it's way, we gear up for another season of Giants baseball. We discuss if the Giants did enough this past offseason to improve from last season and be competitive to make a playoff push.
