Summary
Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the strangest and most revealing weeks of the Giants season, featuring a Patrick Bailey trade, another baserunning blunder, and the unexpected rise of “Babe Haase.” The guys start with Willy Adames’ brutal mistake against the Dodgers and the larger question it raised: what do Tony V and the Giants stand for? Then comes the stunner: Patrick Bailey is out. Connor and Kerry unpack why Buster Posey may have never fully bought into Bailey, how the trade represents a sharp break from the Farhan Zaidi era, and whether the move is bold, shortsighted, or both. There’s also the increasingly strange handling of Bryce Eldridge, who was called up to supposedly play every day but is instead being used more like a bench bat. And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Eric Haase turned into Babe Ruth for a night at Dodger Stadium. On today’s postcard: — Why is Eldridge on the bench? (8:30) — Inside the Saturday Night Massacre (15:45) — The birth of Eric "Babe" Haase (20:02) — More adventures on the basepaths (26:18) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard , subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com , and leave a rating and review — the guys will read it on the show.
