Summary
Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the clearest signals yet that the Giants know this season is slipping. Following another lifeless offensive stretch, Buster Posey pulled the last lever he could and called up Bryce Eldridge and Jesus Rodriguez—moves that say a lot more than the transaction wire alone. Connor and Kerry break down what the promotions really mean: the Giants’ expensive veteran core hasn’t done enough, and Tony V has to deliver that message to them. Plus: the latest additions to the “Tip Your Cap” list and an amusing story about Connor interviewing the late Yankees broadcaster John Sterling. On today’s postcard: — What led to Eldridge and Rodriguez's arrival (11:31) — Why these moves are Posey's last lever (25:40) — Who are the Giants without Logan Webb? (35:50) — Tip Your Cap, and remembering John Sterling (40:57) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard , subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com , and leave a rating and review — we’ll read it on the show.
