San Francisco Giants podcast Augie Messburg:

#1 Lincoln, did all the issues stemming from all the national attention the San Francisco Giants have been getting regarding three Giants pitchers writing Gen 9:12-16 on their caps to Rafael Devers refusing to leave Sunday’s game for pinch runner.

#2 The subject of the Pride hats and the Commissioner of baseball was brought up and the pressure that it brought on Rob Manfred when Sen Hawley wrote to Manfred saying the players should not be disciplined for writing on their caps.

#3 During the Tuesday press conference Posey was asked numerous times about players writing on their caps and what message does that send to the LGBTQ community and about the Commissioner saying the players have the option to wear the Rainbow hat or not. Posey insisted that he would not answer those questions and would only answer baseball related questions.

#4 Some in the LGBTQ community said that the writing of the scriptures targeted them for hate and that the Giants should admit to their mistakes in allowing the three pitchers to write on their caps. Sen Hawley said he would threaten baseball’s anti trust exemption and said it was discrimination against MLB players who profess their Christian faith.

#5 Posey was asked if the Giants will be sellers before the July trade deadline. Posey answered saying he hasn’t got that far yet and is still looking the team over but is open to see what other clubs wants and offers are.
