On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 The Giants opened up their brief two game series with a lively enthusiastic crowd from both sides of the Bay who were vocal over the Oakland A’s fans who brought “Reunite the Bay” to the ballpark as both Giants and A’s fans in attendance were the story chanting “Sell the team” on Tuesday night.

#2 The Giants coming off their long road trip which they ended up losing six straight games before facing Oakland on Tuesday night amongst their struggles as described by Giants pitcher Logan Webb was the starters had been having trouble getting on track and the hitters have a good read on what’s coming and it’s been proven by some of the run production against the Giants starters.

#3 During the six game slump the Giants got outscored 34-9 and the opposition got a early jump on the Giants starters and capitalized by scoring runs in bunches. Monday Ross Stripling surrendered ten hits and three runs in six innings to the Washington Nationals and on Saturday and Sunday they got beat 10-1 and 6-1 respectively by the last place Nationals.

#4 On Tuesday Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford didn’t need a cortisone shot for his left knee, Crawford the Giants star shortstop has been on the IL since last week Wednesday. Since coming up from triple A Sacramento shortstop Casey Schmitt has been taking the starting on and off role in place of the injured Crawford.

#5 The Oakland A’s who come to San Francisco has had their own set of struggles in their last homestand they got swept in three games by the Minnesota Twins, lost one of three from the Boston Red Sox and lost three out of four to the Houston Astros. Though the games were competitive for Oakland are the A’s right now a team that the Giants need to help get their confidence and get back on track?

On the SF Giants podcast with Marko Ukalovic:

#1 The Washington Nationals who have their own troubles this season put those problems aside when the San Francisco Giants came calling. On Sunday the Nats Lance Thomas swiped four bases and Washington’s starter MacKenzie Gore went five innings and gave up four hits.

#2 The Nationals got a little of everything a home run from Riley Adams and Gore threw five shutout innings it was the first sweep for the Nats since taking two games from the Toronto Blue Jays back on Aug 2021.

#3 Giants manager Gabe Kapler said they were a lot better offense than what their showing right now. Gore and the Nats pitching staff held the Giants to just one run and their run production is off. Is this just a slump or have they got other issues to be concerned about.

#4 The Giants return back to Oracle Park Tuesday night to host the Oakland A’s. Tuesday also means Oakland A’s fans from across the bay will be encouraging Giants fans to join in the Reunite the bay. A’s fans are inviting fans to chant “Sell the team” and stand up in the top of the fifth inning for the first hitter and later start changing “Sell the team.”

#5 The Giants have been here before with a five game loss streak what are some of the things that Kapler has done to get the club back on the winning track again. Does he make changes in the line up, does he select different relievers or just push confidence up and down the roster?
