Summary
Vintage Logan Webb showed up when the Giants desperately needed him. After a brutal stretch that saw the club lose seven of eight, Webb stopped the bleeding and helped the Giants secure a much-needed win. It doesn't erase the bigger problems, but it does provide a reminder of what this team looks like when its ace is at his best. We also discuss whether there might be something worth watching with Victor Bericoto, who continues to get opportunities as the Giants search for any kind of spark. But despite the win, the reality remains sobering: the Giants have won just two of their last nine games and remain stuck in a difficult spot. Plus, Giants GM Zack Minasian addressed the state of the team, admitting the results have been disappointing while pushing back on the idea that the struggles can be pinned on any one player or move. We break down his comments, along with Buster Olney's reporting that rival teams believe the Giants may be "stuck" with several of their biggest contracts unless they're willing to eat money, attach prospects, or make uncomfortable trades. Are the Giants banking on turning a corner, or are they simply running out of realistic options?
