SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 Michael if you had to explain why this team is having so much trouble where would you start?

#2. Talk about manager Gabe Kapler can he clearly see what the problems are for the club and are they difficult or easy fixes.

#3 The San Francisco Giants (48-50) had lost three out of four to the Milwaukee Brewers at Oracle Park to end the first part of the season and once the second half started they were swept in four in Los Angeles and now three in Arizona what’s going to take to be a good team on the road?

#4 Looking at Logan Webb’s outing on Sunday he pitched seven innings, surrendering four earned runs on seven hits it just seem Webb and the Giants starters were snake bitten all series long by the Diamondbacks.

#5 Giants will open up a four game series starting tonight at Oracle Park against the Chicago Cubs (40-57). The Giants look at this as an opportunity to get back on the winning track returning back home and a change of scenery after their battles in LA and Arizona. The Cubs’ Justin Steele (4-6, 4.02) will get the start against Alex Wood (6-8, 4.21) for San Francisco a 6:40 pm PDT first pitch.

#6 Now for the fun part of the show and as many of you know Michael grows his own food in his own backyard. Jeremy Harness wanted to know if you grow mushrooms in your backyard and which are the best tasting?
