On the SF Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 Michael, after San Francisco Giants Michael Conforto’s 368 foot home run in the top of the fourth inning it was the Giants hope that they might be able to get things as the Giants struck first and Conforto’s run would be all they would get for the rest of the afternoon.

#2 The Rockies in the bottom of the fourth lit up Giants pitcher Keaton Win who pitch three plus inning and gave up eight hits and seven runs. Can you point to what was off with Winn’s pitches against the Rockies.

#3 The Rockies Brenton Doyle did some damage in that fourth with a 430 foot three run home run making the score at the time 6-1.

#4 Michael no doubt the roughest part of the road trip was when the Giants were swept in four games in Philadelphia?

#5 Michael, just wanted to ask you about a recent interview that Giants team president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said “Even in spring training, we saw a lot of positives that we expected to carry into the season and it hasn’t happened. We haven’t hit our stride.” How concerned should Zaidi be with some of the struggles this team has had. They went 3-7 on this last road trip.

#6 The Giants return home to host the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park on Friday night at 7:15pm PDT. The Reds will be starting LHP Andrew Abbott (1-4 ERA 3.32) and he’ll be opposed by the Giants RHP Logan Webb (3-3 ERA 3.50). Webb got touched up pretty good in his last outing against the Phillies on May 5th giving up seven hits and four runs in four innings of work. Can he bounce back Friday against the Reds.
