While mired in the desolation of another heart-breaking 49ers loss, Kerry and I try to figure out what exactly the Giants approach to the coming season really is.

February 08, 2024 15:00 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MB

This week I’m joined by Lance Brozdowski, Player Development Analyst for the Marquee Sports Network — which is pretty much the coolest job title in all of baseball as far as I’m concerned. Lance also has a fantastic You Tube channel on which he does deep dives into the prospect world, using the type of data-driven development lens that all modern front offices are using.

Kerry Crowley and I team up for yet another KROG podcast, diving into this long, slow winter of cold stove action.

There R Giants Pod-157 with Robert Orr

January 04, 2024 17:05 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MB

I’m totally geeked up about today’s podcast. Robert Orr wrote what, in my opinion, was the best piece of baseball analysis last year quantifying what he called the SEAGER approach to hitting (after Corey Seager, who is the preeminent examplar of this approach). We talked about what led him to discover the SEAGER approach and possible implications that this nuance on swing decision metrics could have for individual players and organizational Player Development philosophies going forward. We t...

There R Giants Podcast: Kerry & Rog #4

October 12, 2023 14:08 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

It’s time once again for the cross-over/spinoff podcast that is sweeping the nation! Or, at least, sweeping Kerry Crowley’s Soundcloud and my Substack corners of the nation. I’m half thinking, in honor of Kerry’s work in radio, of referring to our conversations as “KROG,” but that idea probably needs a little vetting before it’s ready for its coming out party. Anyway, this week, Kerry and I talk playoff baseball. We talk free-agency — and particularly the Giants’ interests in a couple of fr...

My guest this week is Richmond Manager Dennis Pelfrey, who is coming off three consecutive trips to the post-season for his teams (Eugene and Richmond). Pelf talks about how he sees his role as a minor league manager and how he works to help develop both the players and coaches under his charge.

May 24, 2023 16:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

On this week’s edition of the podcast, it’s more interviews from The Diamond in Richmond (which means a little more noise in the dugout, BP music on the loud speakers, Will Clark hooting and hollering, etc), but the end result is well worth it.
