San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips and Michael Duca: Giants get by Brewers Sunday, but team injuries plague club

On the SF Giants podcast with Michael and Morris:

San Francisco Giants pitcher Ty Blach got brought up then he was sent down, Giants first baseman Brandon Belt got hurt with bruised knee, Evan Longoria came back to play at third base, pitcher Johnny Cueto came back, but says everytime he throws he’s in a lot of pain and yet it’s still kind of business as usual hovering around .500 relentless mediocrity.

Any good baseball team needs to have someone to have a career year–somebody whose at the forefront of what’s making that baseball team win. For a stretch here, we thought that Belt was that guy, maybe Brandon Crawford was that guy. We haven’t seen any consistency in either one of their seasons to carry it.

You’re trying to establish a credible playoff contending baseball team and you don’t have that one guy whose driving that one thing and that’s the whole disjointed nature of the Giants in 2018. A guy gets hot and now he’s on the DL. A player can do something like a concussion and we haven’t seen outfielder Mac Williamson in since.
