Cooler of Content PLUS Mike Krukow on Rafael Devers, Bryce Eldridge and Bullpen Concerns

from KNBR Podcast · host KNBR | Cumulus Media San Francisco

Hour 3: The Giants are making a push for the playoffs, but their bullpen is a major concern. In this episode, Murph and Marcus catch up with Mike Krukow to discuss the team's recent win streak and the importance of their young players, including Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge. They also talk about the team's pitching struggles and the need for a reliable bullpen. The Giants' offense has been on fire lately, with Devers hitting 35 doubles and 35 home runs, making him a strong contender for the league lead. Eldridge has also been impressive, hitting behind Devers in the lineup and gaining a reputation as a clutch hitter. The team's young players are giving fans hope for the future, but the bullpen's struggles are a major concern. With a lack of reliable relievers, the Giants are overextending their current pitchers, leading to burnout and inconsistency. Mike Krukow shares his thoughts on the team's pitching struggles, including the performance of young pitcher Tugboat Wilkinson. He notes that Wilkinson's velocity is not an issue, but his command is lacking, particularly when it comes to locating his fastball inside to right-handed hitters. Krukow also praises Logan Webb's performance, discussing his ability to bounce back from a tough outing and his unique warm-up music. The episode also touches on the topic of the team's recent ejection of manager Tony V, who was frustrated with a bad call and was subsequently ejected from the game. Krukow shares his thoughts on the situation, stating that V had every right to be upset and that the call was a clear mistake. The episode wraps up with a discussion of the team's upcoming schedule and the importance of their final games of the season.
