The Giants New Age Strategy With Bryce Eldridge [nXOUda0cob6]
The San Francisco Giants have a young bat with real upside sitting on the bench — and fans are fed up. In this segment, the guys break down the growing frustration around Bryce Eldridges inconsistent playing time, why the Giants front office may be overthinking their own lineup, and what the path forward actually looks like. The hosts make the case that Casey Schmidt should be locked in at left field right now, opening up first base and DH reps for Bryce to build some rhythm. Meanwhile, there's a bigger question hanging in the air: is this a traditional development failure, or is the Giants' front office quietly running a college-style redshirt program at the big-league level — and we're just not seeing the full picture? We also hear directly from Bryce Eldridge, who told our guy Sam Lubman on the ground that he feels like he IS improving — even without consistent at-bats — thanks to daily work with Ron Washington. But is that enough? And what happens when the Giants inevitably start selling off pieces at the deadline?
