Perfectly average, almost always, for the better part of a decade. So what’s really keeping the San Francisco Giants stuck in place? They talk about how the team got here (again), what it means for the future, and the possible path out. Plus, fallout from the trade deadline, bullpen uncertainty, and whether top prospect Bryce Eldridge should get the call. Also in this episode: — A rant about rinse, repeat, .500 (6:51) — The Giants' miserable track record of first-round picks (15:52) — How do the Giants replace what they lost at the trade deadline? (34:30) — The bullpen bridge to Randy—can it be rebuilt? (34:55) — Will Buster Posey's major league debut influence how when he decided to call up Bryce Eldridge?
