Description

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Should Mike Yastrzemski be dropped in the order or given some days off? I see a lot of fans suggesting Gabe Kapler should give some of the struggling hitters like Yastrzemski or Mauricio Dubón a couple days rest as sort of a mental reset. What do you think of this strategy with hitters, or is it better to stay in nearly every day like those two players are now? Is there anything specific you see with Yastrzemski’s swing or approach at the plate that’s different from last year that might be leading to his continued struggles? Any bullpen guys that you think are on a short leash as in getting sent down? Do they have the bullpen depth they thought they did to start the season? I'm excited about Camilo Doval just based on his results and personality — but are there also specific quantitative reasons to be excited about him, like velocity, spin rate, etc.? What did the front office see in him that caused him to get promoted so aggressively? What is Tyler Beede's impact this year? Who would be your choice to replace Donovan Solano on the active roster if he is put on the IL? Jason Vosler, Thairo Estrada, another outfielder?
