With Bryce Eldridge This Is All About Learning — Dave Flemming [LIwIfqb2itk]
Dave Flemming joins the Morning Show to break down everything going on with the Giants right now — and it's a lot. First up: Bryce Eldridge's recent slump. Flemming digs into why pitchers are jamming him inside, why he's chasing pitches he shouldn't, and why this is just part of the learning curve for a young hitter facing a level of competition he's never seen before. From there, the conversation shifts to the bigger picture — the trade deadline and the draft happening at the same time. Flemming lays out why the front office has to balance getting younger and more athletic against not giving away pieces who can help the big league club for years to come. That leads into a deep dive on the catching situation, the flaws in some of this year's top draft prospects, and whether Logan Webb truly deserved his All-Star nod over a couple of guys having big years of their own. Then things take a turn — literally to a different sport — as the guys break down the US Men's National Team's rough exit from the World Cup, whether the red card controversy actually cost them the game, and if soccer will ever be a truly massive deal in America. It closes out with a fun personal story about running into Bryson DeChambeau at a driving range up in Northwood. Topics discussed include: Bryce Eldridge's struggles with inside pitching and what needs to change How the Giants should approach the trade deadline and MLB Draft The state of the Giants' catching depth heading into the second half Whether Logan Webb deserved his All-Star selection USMNT's World Cup exit and the future of soccer in America A surprise encounter with Bryson DeChambeau Do you think the Giants should be buyers or sellers at the deadline?
