Hour 2: The Giants are on a roll, and Murph and Krueger are here to break it down. This week's episode is all about the team's recent surge, and the key players who are making it happen. From the explosive offense to the clutch performances in the bullpen, we're diving into the details of what's making this team tick. The Giants' offense has been on fire, with 18 runs scored on Friday and 12 on Thursday. It's a far cry from their early-season struggles, and it's got everyone talking. But it's not just the offense that's making headlines - the bullpen has also been stepping up, with Dylan Smith emerging as a key player. This 26-year-old rookie has been making waves with his impressive pitching skills, and we're excited to see what the future holds for him. Murph and Krueger are joined by special guest Mike Krukow, who shares his insights on the team's recent success. From the importance of the bullpen to the impact of the team's young players, Mike gives us the lowdown on what's making this team so strong. And with the Nationals coming up next, we're discussing the challenges ahead and what the Giants need to do to keep their winning streak going.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
