from KNBR Podcast · host KNBR | Cumulus Media San Francisco

Murph & Markus sit down with San Francisco Giants legend Robb Nen for a raw, insightful breakdown of the team’s recent bullpen struggles — and what it really takes to survive the pressure cooker of high‑leverage moments in Major League Baseball. Nen brings the mentality of a former elite closer, opening up about the mindset required to execute when the entire stadium is holding its breath. He explains how relievers can reset after a bad outing, what separates mentally tough pitchers from the rest, and why confidence is often the most important pitch in a closer’s arsenal. The conversation also dives into the Giants’ current bullpen issues: Why certain breakdowns keep happening How roles and trust evolve inside a struggling pen What young pitchers must learn to thrive under late‑inning pressure Whether you’re a Giants fan, a baseball purist, or someone fascinated by the psychology of elite performers, this episode delivers a masterclass in mental toughness, preparation, and the art of closing games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
