Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley wrap up the Giants’ season with a tale of two very different endings. First, they celebrate Mike Krukow’s final broadcast and the incredible legacy he and Duane Kuiper built together.

Then things get a little less sentimental. Buster Posey and Tony Vitello faced the media after a 97-loss season, and Connor and Kerry have plenty of questions about what they heard—and, more importantly, what they didn’t hear.

Plus:
— The final Kruk and Kuip broadcast and the moments that made it special
— Krukow’s incredible farewell speech
— The Giants’ 65–97 season and the end-of-season press conference
— Buster Posey’s assessment of Tony Vitello’s first season
— Former Giants scattered across the playoff field

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return with something they haven’t had much of this season: good vibes. The Giants swept the Cardinals, mounted a ridiculous comeback with two outs, and gave us a glimpse of what this team could look like with Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge leading the way.

They also ask the bigger question: What would it feel like to actually believe the Giants have a chance to contend every year again? Plus, a look back at the glory days of 2021—and three very reasonable, definitely-not-overreactions about the current team.

On today’s postcard:
— What the 49ers have that the Giants need
— This week in 2021, feat. The Sac Fly (11:10)
— Devers and Eldridge give us a glimpse of the future (21:49)
— Three overreactions on These Giants vs. Those Giants (37:30)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return to make sense—and most importantly, make light—of a peculiar stretch of Giants baseball. The guys try to run through all 35 pitchers who have appeared in a game, then recap their experience following the bonkers Pirates game.

Plus, Rafael Devers is on an absurd heater, Turner Hill and Trent Harris are making cases to stick around, and the Giants keep doing Giants things.

On today's postcard:
— How many of the club's 35 pitchers can the guys remember?
— Paul Skenes, Logan Webb, and one wild Giants-Pirates game
— Turner Hill, Jonah Cox, and guys making their case
— Rafael Devers has entered Barry Bonds territory
— The Giants’ precarious relationship with Kalshi

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return to a Giants team that’s getting harder and harder to recognize. One hundred losses is suddenly a real possibility, but there are still a few reasons to believe the future could look very different.

The guys dig into Rafael Devers’ emergence, a handful of intriguing young pitchers, and a farm system that has gone from an organizational weakness to one of baseball’s best. They also ask whether Buster Posey moved too quickly by declaring Tony Vitello’s return, and what 100 losses would actually mean for this Giants team.

Plus:

— Rafael Devers is finally looking like the hitter the Giants traded for
— The auditions of Blade Tidwell, “Tugboat,” Trent Harris, and Dylan Smith
— Why was Tony Vitello's return declared so soon?
— What would 100 losses mean for Buster Posey and the Giants?

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley open with the news Giants fans knew was coming but weren't ready for. Connor reflects on what Mike Krukow meant to him not just as a broadcaster but as a teacher—how hundreds of hours of listening shaped the way he watches baseball today.

Then it's on to a major story on Buster Posey published this week by The Athletic, which gave Connor and Kerry plenty to dig into: why Buster took the job in the first place, what he might want to go back on, whether he's surrounded himself with people who challenge him, and what the future of the Tony Vitello era actually looks like.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back with a deadline day recap. Five trades, one message: Buster Posey is building for the 2030s.

The guys break down what they liked, what they're dreaming on, and what still needs to get fixed. Then the circus comes to town. The Giants have more controversy and sagas to sift through, with yet again a lot more questions than answers.

On today's postcard:
— How did the Giants do with their must-trade players? (4:37)
— How do the Ramos and Miller deals stack up? (11:32)
— The circus comes back to town (34:00)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after another frustrating week for the Giants, who remain the only team in baseball that still hasn't won four consecutive games.

Why have the Red Sox and Phillies turned their seasons around while the Giants continue to spin their wheels? Connor and Kerry dig into that before unpacking another Willy Adames head-scratcher. How do you reconcile rooting for a likable person who happens to be a maddening player?

The guys also get into the pros and cons of a rebuild, sparked by the latest comments from Lightyears Larry. And lastly, a trip down memory lane to revisit one of the most memorable weeks of the 2021 season.

On today's postcard:

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after the All-Star break. The guys open with some reflection on why the Home Run Derby has become the main event, and why the game itself feels more like a Broadway production than a competition.

Then they dive head-first into the draft. With five top 100 prospects in Baseball America's rankings, Connor and Kerry dig into what the organization needs to get right after years of drafts that didn't deliver.

They also map out what a successful second half actually looks like—less circus, more baseball—and which surprise storylines are worth watching as the season enters its final stretch.

On today's postcard:
— Breaking down the Giants' draft class (9:27)
— What will make for second-half success? (34:27)
— Who should the Giants seek in trades? 46:34)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back as trade season draws near.

The guys debate Luis Arraez's future in San Francisco, whether Heliot Ramos has become a legitimate trade chip, and which veterans could be wearing different uniforms by next month.

They also revisit one of the week's biggest blunders. Connor questions Tony Vitello after Matt Gage threw 51 pitches before landing on the injured list, adding to a growing list of players battling injuries after being pushed to their limits. Are the Giants creating problems of their own?

On today's postcard:

• Heliot Ramos's unforgettable night (6:15)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the strangest and most uncomfortable weeks the Giants have had in years.

What started as a press conference with Buster Posey quickly spiraled into an organizational headache. Connor and Kerry unpack the entire sequence—from Posey's "baseball questions only" stance, to Devers' explanation and criticism of the media, to Tony V's leadership style and whether his handling of the situation inspires confidence.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back. Fresh off a trip to Omaha for the College World Series, Connor joins Kerry to discuss a Giants team that suddenly sounds willing to listen to offers on key players.

The guys break down why Logan Webb remains the most fascinating name in all of this, why they still can't envision the Giants trading him, and what it would mean if the organization seriously considered moving on from cornerstone veterans.

They also discuss the Giants' continued struggles at Oracle Park, why an offense-first approach still feels like a poor fit for San Francisco, and the challenges facing a team staring down 23 consecutive games.

Plus: Connor shares observations from the College World Series, the Giants' recent wins over Atlanta, and thoughts on the controversy surrounding Pride Night.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the most memorable Giants wins in years.

Bryce Eldridge capped the team's biggest comeback since moving to San Francisco with a walk-off grand slam. What does it mean for today, tomorrow, and 2027?

Connor and Kerry relive where they were for the moment, break down Jon Miller's marvelous call, and discuss what it means for a fan base that has spent years waiting for a homegrown star to break through.

They also dig into another frustrating bullpen loss in Chicago, revisit the concerns they had about the relief corps back in spring training, and examine whether Tony Vitello's long-term future in San Francisco is really as uncertain as some have suggested.

Plus: another round of Tip Your Cap, a tribute to Wrigley Field, and why Ryan Feltner, Miles Mikolas, and friends continue their quest to become Cy Young candidates exclusively against the Giants.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after a brutal stretch that effectively ended the Giants' season.

The guys conduct a mini-autopsy of the 2026 Giants, examining how a veteran-heavy roster built to contend became one of baseball's biggest disappointments. They debate the incorrect assumptions made by Buster Posey's front office and try to figure out what comes next for this team.

Can the Giants sell another year of the same roster to fans without embracing a larger reset?

On today's postcard:

• What happened to the Giants? (4:08)
• Worst assumption made by the front office? (18:59)
• What's next for this team? (28:31)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the strangest and most revealing weeks of the Giants season, featuring a Patrick Bailey trade, another baserunning blunder, and the unexpected rise of “Babe Haase.”

The guys start with Willy Adames’ brutal mistake against the Dodgers and the larger question it raised: what do Tony V and the Giants stand for?

Then comes the stunner: Patrick Bailey is out. Connor and Kerry unpack why Buster Posey may have never fully bought into Bailey, how the trade represents a sharp break from the Farhan Zaidi era, and whether the move is bold, shortsighted, or both.

There’s also the increasingly strange handling of Bryce Eldridge, who was called up to supposedly play every day but is instead being used more like a bench bat.

And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Eric Haase turned into Babe Ruth for a night at Dodger Stadium.

On today’s postcard:
— Why is Eldridge on the bench? (8:30)
— Inside the Saturday Night Massacre (15:45)
— The birth of Eric "Babe" Haase (20:02)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after one of the clearest signals yet that the Giants know this season is slipping. Following another lifeless offensive stretch, Buster Posey pulled the last lever he could and called up Bryce Eldridge and Jesus Rodriguez—moves that say a lot more than the transaction wire alone.

Connor and Kerry break down what the promotions really mean: the Giants’ expensive veteran core hasn’t done enough, and Tony V has to deliver that message to them.

Plus: the latest additions to the “Tip Your Cap” list and an amusing story about Connor interviewing the late Yankees broadcaster John Sterling.

On today’s postcard:
— What led to Eldridge and Rodriguez's arrival (11:31)
— Why these moves are Posey's last lever (25:40)
— Who are the Giants without Logan Webb? (35:50)
— Tip Your Cap, and remembering John Sterling (40:57)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after series win over the Dodgers and Marlins — featuring comebacks that showed both the best and most confusing parts of this Giants team.

The guys dig into what’s working, starting with Lee’s surge at the plate and whether he’s the obvious answer at leadoff for a team that still feels like it doesn’t have one. From there, they zoom out to bigger questions about identity: what does a Tony Vitello team actually look like, and are we starting to see any real traits emerge?

They also get into the growing spotlight on Rafael Devers. From his struggles against velocity to his lack of availability postgame, it’s not the start the Giants envisioned for a franchise cornerstone.

On today’s postcard:
— Bailey's big swing against the Dodgers (11:04)
— The worst moments of the week (16:03)
— What does a Tony V team look like? (26:37)
— Can Jung Hoo Lee stay hot? (36:16)
— The curious case of Rafael Devers (40:23)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back.

The guys break down another up-and-down stretch of baseball, starting with one of the strangest (and most “Giants”) plays you’ll ever see from Willy Adames . They also highlight the actual bright spots, including Heliot Ramos’ big swing and Caleb Killian’s quietly dominant relief work.

On the flip side, there’s plenty to unpack: Tyler Mahle’s rough outing against Cincinnati, ongoing offensive inconsistencies, and the uncomfortable reality that certain weaknesses just keep showing up.

Connor and Kerry also run through a series of early-season “what matters more” questions and take a look ahead to the Dodgers series.

On today’s postcard:
— The debut of the “Tip Your Cap” list
— Adames’ absurd, unforgettable play
— Killian’s emergence and bullpen bright spots
— Mahle, Houser, and rotation concerns
— Early-season stock report across the roster
— Dodgers fans taking over Oracle (again)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back to break down a very Giants week—the kind where everything happens and none of it makes complete sense.

Have a question you want answered on the show? Reach out at GiantsPostcards@gmail.com.

Connor and Kerry try to make sense of a team that looks lost one series and strong the next, and what it says about who they really are.

They start with the highs, including Rafael Devers’ long-awaited breakthrough moment — a swing that finally felt like the reason he’s in San Francisco — before getting into the lows, headlined by a brutal decision by Matt Chapman that had Connor seeing red.

From there, the guys dig into the bullpen uncertainty, early roster surprises like Daniel Susac’s emergence vs. Patrick Bailey’s struggles, and the challenge of covering a team that feels wildly inconsistent from game to game.

Plus, a few early Tony Vitello observations.

On today’s postcard:
— Devers' biggest home run as a Giant (so far) (3:36)
— How do you split time between Daniel Susac and Patrick Bailey? (9:44)
— Who sets the lineup, Tony V or the front office? (15:21)
— Why did Chapman try to steal second base? (22:05)
— Landon Roupp deserved better (28:28)
— Early reads on Tony V (32:23)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back—and so are the Giants. After getting swept by the Yankees, Connor fired off a stream-of-consciousness newsletter filled with a few absurd observations and questions. Now, with a series win over the Padres in hand, it’s time to revisit those questions and figure out what actually matters.

Are the Giants headed for another .500 season? Can this veteran lineup handle velocity? Is Luis Arraez a defensive liability… or not? And is the bullpen actually... fine?

Connor and Kerry dig into the answers. It’s part overreaction, part reality check — and a snapshot of where the Giants stand after a bizarre opening week.

On today’s postcard:
— Jung Hoo Lee and the endless groundout (5:18)
— What can we make of the bullpen? (12:45)
— Are the Giants too hold to handle the heat? (18:39)
— Is Luis Arraez good at defense? Is Luis Arraez bad at defense? (22:48)
— The ambiguity of ball-strike challenges (29:20)
— Is Tony Vitello overwhelmed? (38:30)
