On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details what to expect as the San Francsico Giants begin a four-game series against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. Anthony DeSclafani will take on Scherzer tonight, then Kevin Gausman, Johnny Cueto, and Alex Wood go up against TBD, Joe Ross, and Jon Lester.

 Sammy Long, Mike Tauchman, Brandon Crawford star in Texas, but Giants end up with frustrating split | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1561

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' polar opposite two games in Texas. In the first game, Mike Tauchman and Brandon Crawford played hero in the Giants' thrilling come-from-behind win. In the second game, Sammy Long was brilliant in his MLB debut, but Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee could not hold off the Rangers' bats as the Giants lost late leads and ultimately the game.

 Inbox: At what point do the Giants' injuries become too much? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1628

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners questions about the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: At what point do the injuries become too much? So far we haven’t skipped a beat with guys like Steven Duggar, LaMonte Wade Jr., and Jason Vosler playing so well. The Giants have a 10 game stretch coming up against last place teams. What would you consider a successful record during that stretch? Do you have any thoughts on the idea that the Mike Tauchman acquisition was made with an eye to the future? Working with the hitting coaches to forge a swing change could unlock more contact and power and make him a dangerous hitter with the eye he has, but would need to wait a season?

 Evan Longoria (shoulder sprain) to miss 4-6 weeks | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1551

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that Evan Longoria is going to miss 4-6 weeks with a left shoulder sprain, an injury he sustained after colliding with Brandon Crawford in the 9th inning of Saturday's win against the Cubs. The Giants have been ravaged by injuries in 2021, and losing Longoria is among their biggest blows. They're also currently missing Tommy La Stella, Brandon Belt, Mike Yastrzemski, Logan Webb, and several others. Players like LaMonte Wade Jr., Jason Vosler, and Steven Duggar have filled in admirably in their absence. The second thing we learned is that the Giants may call up a young starter for Wednesday's game. Webb is on the IL, and Scott Kazmir and Nick Tropeano were recently DFA'd, so it may be Sam Long or Matt Frisbee to start Wednesday against the Rangers. The third thing we learned is some unfortunate news about Giants play-by-play announcer Duane Kuiper. Kuiper announced via the Giants on Monday that he has a medical condition that will require immediate chemotherapy treatment, and that he may miss broadcasts. Obviously, our hearts go out to Kuiper and we wish him nothing but the best and a full and speedy recovery from his condition. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

 Inbox: Will the Giants re-sign Brandon Crawford over Story, Seager, Correa? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1634

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: If Brandon Crawford keeps up his play for the duration of the season, what kind of contract is he looking at? Would the Giants bring him back over Corey Seager/Trevor Story? What’s going to happen when Darin Ruf and Brandon Belt come off the IL? Steven Duggar and LaMonte Wade Jr. are both playing well, but they can’t keep too many left handed outfielders and they won’t cut loose on Mike Tauchman due to him being under team control for the next couple years. Has a team ever signed one of its longest contracts for a player who is a defensive liability and plays the same position as guy who hit .326 & won the Silver Slugger Award? Donovan Solano's track record against RHP is not as strong as Tommy La Stella's but if Crawford's everyday player, isn't Solano? How much longer do the giants keep Tauchman on the roster? He’s had a rough month and besides the amazing catch, has done nothing. What should we make of Curt Casali's struggles, and at what point do you think the Giants will consider cutting him, assuming the performance at the plate remains the same? Some national media still see the Giants as sellers this year with many veterans in the last year of their deal. Do you see the Giants selling for future pieces if they are still in contention for a playoff spot? What's your read on the Cubs in this post-Theo Epstein era? What or who should we be looking out for with them heading into this series tonight? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

 Kevin Gausman named NL's top pitcher for May | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1444

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about numerous San Francisco Giants topics. Kevin Gausman was named the NL's top pitcher for the month of May. The Giants made a trade, acquiring intriguing right-handed reliever Sam Delaplane, who recently had Tommy John surgery. Mike Yastrzmeksi has an injured thumb, but thankfully X-rays were negative. Evan Longoria has a right side injury. The Giants added reliever Dominic Leone to the roster and optioned Nick Tropeano. All that and more on today's podcast.

 Kevin Gausman, Brandon Crawford lead Giants to sizzling 18-10 May | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1555

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' sizzling month of May. Brandon Crawford led the offense, and Kevin Gausman looked like a Cy Young contender. Steven Duggar and LaMonte Wade Jr. broke out with strong months, and some of the relievers, like Jarlin García and Matt Wisler, were quietly much better than they were in April. The schedule was tough, but the Giants went 18-10 in May and have the best record in the NL entering June. Ben also looks ahead to the June schedule and discusses what to expect.

 Mike Tauchman robs would-be walk-off, resilient Giants win series in LA | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1619

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' thrilling series win against the Los Angeles Dodgers in LA. Mike Tauchman played hero as he robbed a would-be walk-off home run off the bat of Albert Pujols. Buster Posey flashed his former MVP form as he delivered a clutch three-run home run. Logan Webb and Kevin Gausman turned in brilliant performances on the mound. Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee were shaky in late-inning relief, but the Giants won anyway. With each day that goes by, the Giants are proving that their #ResilientSF is the perfect tagline for the 2021 team.

 Can the Giants survive this injury outbreak? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1521

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' rash of injuries. Their lineup in last night's loss to the Dodgers was one of the most inefficient of the Gabe Kapler era. Alex Dickerson started against a lefty, which is very unusual. Jason Vosler, the fifth-string first baseman and another lefty, also started. Things should look a little better tonight with a right-hander on the mound, but unfortunately for the Giants, that right-hander is one of baseball's best pitchers in Walker Buehler. Wilmer Flores should be able to come back on Saturday, which is actually huge for the Giants with two lefties in Julio Urias and Clayton Kershaw finishing out the series for the Dodgers. Ben looks through the upcoming schedule and attempts to address how the Giants will deal with all of their injuries, and whether he thinks they can survive them.

 The scrappy Giants are making us feel again | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1608

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' invigorating, come-from-behind win over the D-backs on Wednesday night. Austin Slater and Jason Vosler hit clutch home runs, and Tyler Rogers escaped major trouble in the 9th. Speaking of trouble, the Giants lost Darin Ruf, who was filling in for an injured Brandon Belt, to a hamstring injury. Vosler appears to be the next man up for a banged up Giants team.

 What the Giants are doing is not normal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1580

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' 8-0 win against the D-backs on Tuesday night. Kevin Gausman, Brandon Crawford, Evan Longoria, and Buster Posey led the way. The Giants are getting great production out of veteran players, many of whom appeared to be in serious decline. Gausman becoming an ace, and veteran hitters turning back the clock, is not normal. The Giants are changing the way we think about the impact coaches can make.

 Led by Dubón, the Giants have been baseball's best defensive team | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1576

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks an unexpected strength of the 2021 San Francisco Giants so far: defense. A lot of people expected the Giants to be a bad defensive team, but they have exceeded expectations. Mauricio Dubón has been among the best defensive players in baseball, adding value at second base, shortstop, and in center field. Ben also gets you set for the Giants' big upcoming series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants and Dodgers have been the two best teams in the NL in non-pitcher wRC+ (meaning they've been the two best offensive teams in the league), and their starting pitching also ranks first and second. The Giants have the edge on defense, but the Dodgers have the edge in the bullpen. It's a heavyweight matchup, and Ben gets you set for it. San Francisco will face Trevor Bauer, Walker Buehler, and Julio Urías. They'll counter with Alex Wood, TBD on Saturday, and Anthony DeSclafani.
