On the San Francisco Giants Podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 Hunter Pence has really found his path, just like he said after he hit a grand slam earlier in the week in Thursday’s game as he tripled, singled, and double in consecutive innings.

#2 Is Jeff Samardzija struggling or just experimenting with pitches? He gave up four runs to the Padres, giving up three home runs in Thursday’s game.

#3 How impressed have you been thus far with Andrew McCuthen’s spring on Thursday? He hit a two-run single. He’s always noted for the RBI, and of course, he can go deep.

#4 Brandon Belt broke the deadlock off Pads pitcher Colten Brewer a seventh-inning blast. Talk about Belt’s spring and do you see him getting a lot of work at first base?

#5 Buster Posey says when he comes to the park, he’ll be mentally prepared to catch and only catch. He has not played first one game as of yet. Does that mean he’ll catch most of the spring, but he’ll play a little first or a lot more than he did last year?
