Description
San Francisco Chronicle baseball writer Susan Slusser joins the Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, for a conversation at Oracle Park about the surprise time in the National League -- the Giants. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the team that has to contend with the glitzy Dodgers and rising Padres, and instead it's the Giants who neared the All-Star break in first place with the best record in the National League. Slusser, a former president of the BBWAA, won California's sportswriter of the year award for her coverage of the Athletics, and for 2021, in a significant offseason move, relocated across the Bay to a new beat covering a new team in a new league. That's a good launch point for a discussion about how the Giants were built, their giant coaching staff, and, of course, what happens when a catching Giant hangs up his gear for the last time after defining an era for a championship team. It could happen in two NL cities soon. The Best Podcast in Baseball is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
