Welcome back to another packed episode of Thompson 2 Clark on the Bay Area Sports Podcasting Network (BSPN)! In this episode, Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales break down a 4-3 stretch for the San Francisco Giants. From a gritty series split down south against the Los Angeles Dodgers to taking two out of three against the Athletics, the Giants are keeping fans on a total emotional rollercoaster.

While a winning week is always welcome, Brad and GG dive deep into the glaring issues holding this team back from true dominance. First up is the offense, where we look at two completely opposite trajectories. Matt Chapman continues to battle through a brutal slump at the plate, leaving fans wondering when the star third baseman will find his rhythm. On the flip side, Rafael Devers is absolutely heating up, providing a crucial spark that the Giants desperately need to stay afloat in the competitive NL West.

But it’s not all about the bats. The biggest red flag from this past week lands squarely on the pitching staff. The San Francisco Giants bullpen has simply not been up to snuff, blowing late-game leads and turning sure victories into absolute sweat-fests. Can this relief crew turn it around, or does front office management need to start looking for external help?
