On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb who did win his last game last Monday night said after the game that he was tired of losing despite winning the game and gave praise to San Diego pitcher Blake Snell who opposed him saying he was the one who deserved the Cy Young Award. Webb also added he was tired of losing as the Giants once again will not be a post season team.

#2 Webb said that Alex Cobb pitched good enough all season long and was an All Star this season and it was a shame that someone like that didn’t make post season after all the work he put into the season.

#3 You had mentioned this on your last Giants podcast why would any free agent want to sign with the Giants? Is it the environment, is it that manager Gabe Kapler and team president Farhan Zaidi have trouble making thing work amongst deals and certain strategies on the field.

#4 Does the problems go to the top with team CEO Larry Baer how much does he bare some of the brunt of the blame because he’s watching how much he spends on getting talent or is there some belt tightening involved?

#5 Baer said that the attendance would surge but the Giants are 17th in attendance. Some critics say Baer inherited two World Champion teams from former team CEO Bill Neukom and once those teams dissolved the Giants made the post season just once?
