Is Bryce Eldridge the Future of This Franchise? [SOkgW3XoM5u]
The Giants may be one of the worst teams in baseball right now, but there's a reason to keep watching — and his name is Bryce Eldridge. In this segment, the guys break down why the Giants' top prospect is not just surviving at the big league level, but genuinely thriving, and what that means for the future of this franchise. Eldridge has been putting up ridiculous numbers over the last two weeks — 20 for 51 with a .467 on-base percentage over 15 games. The game has slowed down for him. His at-bats look nothing like a rookie's. He's driving the ball the other way, laying off pitches, and looking like he belongs. Meanwhile, Jung Ho Lee continues to prove the skeptics wrong, and the pair of them are quietly forming one of the more fun young tandems in the National League. But it's not all good news. Rafael Devers is on pace for nearly 200 strikeouts this season — a number that would land him in franchise history for all the wrong reasons. The hosts ask the hard question: is this a $300M+ contract the Giants are going to regret? Topics discussed include: Bryce Eldridge's ridiculous last two weeks (.467 OBP over 15 games) Jung Ho Lee's impact and how he and Eldridge work together in the lineup The "doubles machine" potential at Oracle Park — Jeff Kent, Posey, Pablo Sandoval comparisons Rafael Devers on pace for 200 strikeouts — worst in Giants history? The Devers contract question: when does it become a concern?
