Hour one with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. Will the Pirates make a move? They have to make a substantial move for us to be satisfied, like a Brent Rooker, Yandy Diaz, Bryan De La Cruz, or Kevin Pillar paired with another bat. Ben Cherington said 'you have to be comfortable saying no.' We're frustrated with both Nutting and Cherington failing to greenlight anything and they both have different reasons to be blamed.

The Los Angeles Angels ran out a lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates worthy of a Spring Training game on Tuesday, and if you were disappointed, you weren't alone! However, it's this kind of lineup that always seems to find a way to pick up a win, and that's what happened!

So, what did Patrick Sandoval do differently that led to this success? We'll tell you all about it in segment 1!Then, Ron Washington says he knows the key to Mickey Moniak's success, and Mickey agrees.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
Remember when San Francisco Giants outfielder Kevin Pillar received a 10th-place MVP vote in his lone season with the Giants? It was an inexplicable vote, but yet somehow it also made sense given the grit and passion Pillar exhibited for SF Giants fans on a daily basis. Pillar is just one of several San Francisco Giants "cult heroes" who are discussed on today's Locked On Giants podcast.Stephen Vogt gets a vote as well, even though he was also only in the orange and black for one season. Remember Alex Dickerson, anyone? How about the legend of Donnie Barrels? Indeed, in Ben Kaspick's five years of hosting Locked On Giants there have been numerous cult heroes on the team whose popularity outweighed their production on the field. Either that or their production was only short and sweet.Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes also participates in the exercise, listing off several memorable San Diego Padres players who fall into the same category in his nearly five years of hosting his show.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
