The guys break down what has them excited heading into 2026: an offense that should be above average (finally), a full season of Rafael Devers launching balls into the cove, Bryce Eldridge’s continued development—including some curious work in the outfield—and the simple fact that the Giants are back in the national conversation. The guys also hit on how Vitello might handle the pressure of bullpen management, the impact of the World Baseball Classic, and what to expect from ball-strike challenges this season. On today’s postcard: — What we’re most excited about in 2026 (5:56) — Is spring training a good learning ground for Vitello? (28:58) — Why is Eldridge working in the outfield? (32:19) — How will the Giants handle the new system of challenging balls and strikes? (39:39) 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.","meta_description":"Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back and yes, the Kool-Aid is flowing.
