Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales break down a brutal start to the 2026 San Francisco Giants season. It was a weekend to forget at Oracle Park as the Giants were swept at home by the New York Yankees, matching a 117-year-old franchise record by going scoreless for the first 20 innings of the season. Is it time to panic, or just a fluke against a powerhouse?

In this episode of Thompson 2 Clark, we dive into:

The Yankees Sweep: A deep dive into what went wrong against New York. From the lack of early offense to Aaron Judge’s dominant return to the Bay, we analyze the stats that defined the series.

2026 Season Predictions: Despite the 0-3 start, we look at the long-term outlook. Can the new-look lineup featuring Rafael Devers and Willy Adames find their rhythm?

Roster News: Breaking down the latest moves, including trading Luis Matos, DFAing Tyler Fitzgerald, and picking up reliever Dylan Smith.

The ABS Era: Our first real look at the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System. With seven challenges in a single game during the finale, how is the "Robot Ump" era changing the flow of the game and player strategy?

The road doesn't get easier, but the season is a marathon, not a sprint. We discuss which players need to step up immediately to avoid an early-season hole.

What do you think of the new ABS system? Was the Yankees sweep just a bad weekend or a sign of things to come? Comment your thoughts below!
