Summary

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return to assess the final, painful twist in the Giants’ 2025 season. Just days after a walk-off grand slam revived playoff hopes, the Giants did what .500 teams do. Connor and Kerry break down the Giants' September run, why the rotation collapsed when it mattered most, and how they should approach free agency. Plus, they take stock of Bryce Eldridge’s arrival, Opening Night 2026, and the ever-shifting MelvinMeter. Choose your topic: — What can you take from this September run? (10:59) — What do you do about the starting rotation? (17:27) — Do you regret the trade deadline deals? (24:35) — Is now the right time for Eldridge? (30:44) — MelvinMeter update: Is Bob back next year?
