If you want to laugh, I mean REALLY laugh, this is the episode for you! Nate and Solomon really go toe-to-toe when it comes to condiments on a burger and it gets downright oily when it comes to whether a burger should have mayo! Also, we debate and who should make the Mount Rushmore of Houston sports. George Foreman? JJ Watt? Nolan Ryan? Jeff Bagwell? Warren Moon? Craig Biggio? Earl Campbell? Hakeem? Clyde the Glide? See why there is so much discussion? Then all three face the "Truth or Dare". This is just fun sports talkin', friend sharin' bull shootin!

Who knows how long Josh Walker will have to sit on being the last pitcher to commit a walk-off balk? Before last night, it had only been since July 8 of last year, when Rays pitcher Matt Wisler balked with not-yet-a-Met Tyler Naquin at the plate in the 10th inning in Cincinnati, but before that, it had been nearly four years since Dylan Floro, then with the Dodgers, balked with the bases loaded in Seattle to let Cameron Maybin come home with a 10th-inning winning run.If Walker is lucky, he won't have to wait until the end of the season. There have been a couple of other times that there were multiple walk-off balks in a single campaign: Ernie Broglio of the Cubs was called for one in the 14th inning on April 28, 1965, in Cincinnati, followed on June 8 by Astros hurler Hal Woodeshick balking with the bases loaded in the 11th inning in Pittsburgh. Also, in 2000, we saw Jeff Zimmerman balk in Baltimore to give the Orioles a 4-3 win over the Rangers — also on April 28 — and then just 10 days later, John Rocker gifting the Marlins a victory, with Danny Bautista scoring the winning run after pinch-running for Paul Bako. Last but not least, in 2011, there were walk-off balks by D.J. Carrasco costing the Mets a game in Atlanta on June 16, and then Aaron Crow with the Royals, as the White Sox won on the Fourth of July.Walker is definitely lucky in one way: he's on the 2023 Mets, and last night's loss is just going to blend into the background of all the misery.

Brandon Crawford led the offense, and Kevin Gausman looked like a Cy Young contender. Steven Duggar and LaMonte Wade Jr. broke out with strong months, and some of the relievers, like Jarlin García and Matt Wisler, were quietly much better than they were in April. The schedule was tough, but the Giants went 18-10 in May and have the best record in the NL entering June.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick breaks down the San Francisco Giants' 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Logan Webb delivered an excellent start, one of his very best of the season. He held down a potent offense by mixing his pitches and attacking the strike zone, which is a big key for him. Webb came out earlier than expected, and manager Gabe Kapler later revealed that it was because Webb had right shoulder soreness.On offense, the Giants continue to hit for power. Wilmer Flores, Mike Yastrzemski, and Mauricio Dubón each homered in this game. The Giants are among the league leaders in home runs and isolated power, which bodes very well for their offense this season. Despite jumping out to a big 5-0 lead, the Giants' bullpen once again made things too interesting. Jarlin Garcia, Matt Wisler, and Caleb Baragar had shaky outings, but thankfully Tyler Rogers provided some calm in the 9th inning. He allowed a leadoff single, and Brandon Crawford made a throwing error with two outs in the 9th, but Rogers pitched through it all to deliver another save.Finally, Ben breaks down the Giants claiming outfielder Braden Bishop off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. Bishop is the older brother of Giants top prospect Hunter Bishop, who was selected 10th overall by the Giants in 2019.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: What can the Giants do to improve this bullpen quickly? Is it too early to make a move for an established bullpen arm? Zack Littel is looking pretty good so far. Who could be the next non-roster guy to get a shot? And what would be the likely roster move to accommodate? Time to panic about Matt Wisler? Time to send Camilo Doval back to the minors? Was the Mike Tauchman trade as worth it as it seems so far? Is Steven Duggar doing a good enough job to potentially keep himself on the team? What's your take on managers getting tossed when a call doesn't go their way? I've seen a lot of decries of Gabe Kapler, claiming that he doesn't support his guys because he hasn't ever gotten fired up and ejected. Does Logan Webb lose his spot in the rotation with Cueto coming back? Barring any starting pitcher injuries, where will Webb fit into the pen when Johnny Cueto returns? Is there a way he could eventually become a late inning guy if no Farhan Zaidi move is made to bolster the back end? Would a move to the bullpen really help Webb? His stats with a runner on vs. bases empty are wildly different, so I can't imagine a bullpen assignment helps him too much (.646 OPS with bases empty; .876 OPS with men on base).Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' 3-0 win against the Marlins, in which Curt Casali collected his fifth straight shutout when he was the starting catcher. Casali also had a big two-run single in the first inning. The Giants improved to 12-7 with the win, and Casali became just the fifth catcher in MLB history to accomplish the feat. Aaron Sanchez pitched beautifully despite diminished velocity, and Gregory Santos made his major league debut out of the bullpen and was electric. He was added to the roster after Donovan Solano was placed on the IL. Matt Wisler, Tyler Rogers, and Jake McGee pitched scoreless frames as the Giants completed the shutout. Evan Longoria exited this game with left hamstring tightness.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network. April 19th-26th.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' 2-0 win over the Phillies in Philadelphia. It was the 200th win in Gabe Kapler's managerial career, which had to feel extra sweet coming against the Phillies. The Giants' manager was fired by the Phillies and treated poorly by Phillies fans and media. He's now 200-200 as a manager, and the man the Phillies hired to replace him is just 36-40. Kapler was 161-163 as Phillies manager—a superior winning percentage. Kevin Gausman started for the Giants, and he delivered another six shutout innings. The Giants' starting staff continues to carry the team, and they're now second in all of baseball in earned run average. Brandon Belt delivered a key two-run home run that was the extent of the offense for the night. The bats still need to wake up, but the Giants' pitching has helped the team get off to a nice 10-6 start. Matt Wisler, Camilo Doval, and Wandy Peralta each notched a scoreless inning to complete the shutout and Kap's 200th career win.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
Today on the Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants as the 2021 season gets underway. Among the questions asked and answered are: If the offense keeps struggling, when do you think is a good time to start worrying about it? Should we be concerned about some of the struggling hitters (Brandon Belt, Mike Yastrzemski, etc.)? Small sample size but they've struck out a lot and haven't hit it hard. Are we going to start to see an outfield shuffle if things don't start going as planned? Yastrzemski, Alex Dickerson, and Mauricio Dubón's bats haven't woken up). Do you think part of the problem with Dickerson's poor numbers has to do with his sporadic playing time so far? How long can the Giants survive with three current righties (Matt Wisler, Tyler Rogers, and Reyes Moronta) they have in the bullpen? It's a bit too early to tell I guess, but I wonder what the timeline is to get Moronta back into higher leveraged opportunities. Right-handed pitchers out the 'pen have come out the gates struggling. How long of a leash will Farhan Zaidi/Gabe Kapler have with them before Camilo Doval and others get a shot? How concerning is it that Moronta doesn't have a strikeout to start the season? He's inducing a lot of weak contact at the moment, but I'm not sure how sustainable that is when hitters start to figure out he doesn't have the same fastball he used to have. How aggressive do you think the Giants will be about extending players during the season, given how many roster spots will be open at the end of the season? And who is most likely to get an extension? I'd like to see the Giants extend Kevin Gausman during the season considering they have a lot of money coming off the payroll. Do you think they can, and how much do you think it would be?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' nail-biting 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night. Anthony DeSclafani made his Giants debut, and held the potent Padres to one run in five innings. The bullpen held strong, with Matt Wisler, Reyes Moronta, Tyler Rogers, and Jake McGee combining to pitch four innings with just one run allowed. Things got dicey in the ninth, but McGee got Tommy Pham to fly out with the tying and winning runs on base.Mike Yastrzemski was a late scratch from the lineup due to lingering effects from a hit-by-pitch on the hand in the team's final spring game, but he hit a pinch-hit home run to dead center field that gave the Giants a late lead. Their other runs also came on solo homers by Darin Ruf and Evan Longoria. The Giants are tied with the Astros for the major league lead in home runs with nine, but the Astros have played one more game. So far, the Giants' offense has been powerful and the starting staff has held its own. There was a rocky bullpen game mixed in, but overall the Giants have played pretty well on the young season.Fernando Tatis Jr. went down in a heap after striking out, and had to be removed from the game. The Padres later announced that Tatis had a left shoulder subluxation. We at Locked On Giants are wishing Tatis the best, and a full and speedy recover. The game is much better when he's on the field.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick reacts to the San Francisco Giants' crushing Opening Night loss to the Seattle Mariners. Kevin Gausman pitched like an ace and gave the team a great chance to win, but the bullpen couldn't hold a five-run eighth-inning lead. Evan Longoria, Buster Posey, and Austin Slater hit home runs for the Giants, as the offense exploded for seven runs. But relievers Matt Wisler, Jarlín García, and José Álvarez just could not find the strike zone as the Mariners came storming back in the late innings, helped in large part by numerous free passes.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Giants, it's another Division Day! Host Ben Kaspick is joined by Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes to discuss the state of the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants. The Padres had one of baseball's all-time offseasons, signing Fernando Tatis Jr. to a 14-year, $340 million extension and trading for ace pitchers Blake Snell and Yu Darvish. Javier talks about all the activity, and also some of the smaller moves the Padres made to make them legitimate contenders to challenge the Dodgers in the NL West and perhaps win a World Series.Ben talks about the Giants' sneakily busy offseason, in which they brought back Kevin Gausman and signed a ton of major league players including Tommy La Stella, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Aaron Sanchez, Jake McGee, Matt Wisler, Curt Casali, and more. The Giants were quietly competitive and a great offensive team in 2020, and Ben thinks they got better this offseason and should continue to surprise people in 2021.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that the Giants' future is very bright. That was on display during Sunday's Cactus League win over the Cincinnati Reds. Giants top prospects Heliot Ramos and Joey Bart went deep—Ramos twice—and Hunter Bishop (the Giants' 2019 first-round draft pick) and Marco Luciano (considered by many to be San Francisco's best prospect) also collected hits. In the near future, the Giants figure to have a pipeline of exciting talent coming up from the minors on a regular basis.The second thing we learned this weekend is that a limited number of fans are likely going to be allowed at Oracle Park beginning on April 9th for the Giants' home opener. The fans were greatly missed by players and coaches alike last year, and in turn, the fans greatly missed going to games and experiencing the team in person. The Giants have a great relationship with the fans, so the fact that fans will likely return to Oracle Park this year is extremely encouraging news.The third thing we learned this weekend is that the Giants' bullpen is insanely deep. The club officially announced the signing of left-handed reliever José Álvarez to a one-year deal with a team option for 2022. Álvarez, Jake McGee, Matt Wisler, and Jarlin Garcia are the only relievers on the Giants' 40-man roster who cannot be optioned to the minor leagues. The Giants have scores of relievers who are deserving of a major league opportunity who may be optioned to the minors because of the club's bullpen depth, especially with left-handed relievers. Guys like Caleb Baragar and Wandy Peralta may spend extended periods of time in the minors this year.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants signing left-handed reliever Jake McGee to a two-year, $7M contract. The deal has not been announced by the club, but has been reported by multiple reputable sources. McGee was cut loose by the Rockies prior to the start of the 2020 season, but quickly signed on with the Dodgers, where he went on to have a huge rebound season for the eventual World Series champions. McGee's fastball regained its old dominant form, and he threw the pitch a whopping 97% of the time, the most frequently any pitcher threw any pitch in 2020. Third on that list was Matt Wisler with his slider, and the Giants signed Wisler to a one-year deal earlier this offseason. With the addition of McGee, the Giants continue to build quality depth throughout their 40-man and major league roster.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' signing of free-agent relief pitcher John Brebbia to a one-year, $800K deal. Brebbia had Tommy John surgery in June, but owns a lifetime 3.14 ERA in 175 innings. He should be able to join the Giants' bullpen sometime in the summer, and he can be retained through the arbitration process for two additional seasons beyond 2021. He joins Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Matt Wisler, and Jason Vosler as significant free-agent additions the Giants have made this offseason. Despite the Giants' additions of two starting pitchers, two veteran right-handed relievers, and a left-handed bat, the Giants still have work to do in all of those areas. The players they've added are all quality pieces, but the Giants need even more major league depth and talent in those areas if they hope to compete for the postseason in 2021.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants inking veteran right-handed reliever Matt Wisler to a one-year, $1.15M deal. Wisler is coming off a breakout season of sorts with the Twins, although he was non-tendered last Wednesday. Wisler rode a wipeout slider to a career-best strikeout rate and pristine ERA, but the Twins evidently didn't believe in the sustainability of Wisler's success and non-tendered him ahead of Wednesday's tender deadline. The Giants hope that the Twins' loss is their gain, as Wisler joins a bullpen that is short on experience, and figures to be one of Gabe Kapler's top right-handed options out of the 'pen. As the Winter Meetings roll on, the Giants are still seeking numerous starting pitchers, a versatile left-handed bat, and possibly more right-handed relief help as well, despite the addition of Wisler today.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On Episode 75 of the Show to Be Named Later, Chris & Daniel talked about the best players to get non-tendered, highlighting Eddie Rosario, Kyle Schwarber, and under-the-radar reliever Matt Wisler. Next, they discussed the Angels' additions of Raisel Iglesias and Jose Iglesias, and also addressed the Mets' signing of Trevor May. After that, they introduced a new segment, reviewing the best Hall of Fame ballot to be released in the past week, and the most confusing Hall of Fame ballot to be released in the past week. Then, they talked about their Hall of Fame bubble case of the week, which was Todd Helton, and gave the case for and against him being a Hall of Famer. And, to conclude the episode, they addressed the passing of one of the better hitters in baseball history, Dick Allen.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks more about the fallout from Wednesday's non-tender deadline. Some notable non-tenders around the game were David Dahl, Archie Bradley, Kyle Schwarber, Eddie Rosario, Nomar Mazara, Carlos Rodón, and Matt Wisler. Among them, Dahl was probably the most surprising, and he actually fits one of the Giants' biggest needs. He's a young, left-handed-hitting outfielder who's capable of playing center. He has impressive tools, including power, speed, and an ability to play solid defense. He was a former first-round draft pick by the Rockies. The Giants will almost certainly be interested in signing Dahl, among with several other players who were non-tendered on Wednesday. The Winter Meetings kick off next week, in virtual fashion, and that may hopefully kickstart what has been a slow offseason around the league to date.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

MLB.com’s Matt Meyers and Mike Petriello talk about the effects of the non-tender deadline, José Iglesias getting traded to the Angels, the troubling trends of Hall of Fame voters, Texas making Isiah Kiner-Falefa their starting shortstop, and what makes Ryan Tepera interesting aside from a mistaken MVP vote, also being joined by MLB.com’s Do-Hyoung Park to talk about Matt Wisler, Eddie Rosario, and what Mets fans will like so much about Trevor May.
The Twins, in a surprising move, chose to non-tender 2020 breakout reliever Matt Wisler. Wisler posted a 1.07 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings this summer. The waiver-wire addition was productive in multiple roles, including as an opener, a closer and a middle reliever. More unsurprisingly, the Twins did not pick up Eddie Rosario's contract for his final year of arbitration, making him a free agent. Setting that aside for now, we dive into a potential intriguing trade option from the St.Louis Cardinals, Carlos Martínez.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Twins made their first moves of the offseason this week, first declining the $5 million option on Sergio Romo and then claiming Brandon Waddell and Ian Gibaut off waivers. The righty Gibaut has an electric fastball/slider combo and the lefty Waddell has a pretty good slider, too. These moves come close to a year after the Twins claimed Matt Wisler off waivers.

The Twins beat the White Sox 3-2 Tuesday behind six strong innings from Michael Pineda, unlikely bullpen heroes, and Byron Buxton's magic. After losing six straight games, Rocco Baldelli held an impromptu team meeting after Monday's game to urge the team to move forward. The Twins' chances looked dire early again Tuesday when Eloy Jiménez ripped a two-run, first inning double into the left field gap. Those were the only runs Chicago would score all night. The Twins chipped away and benefitted from a José Abreu dropped ball at first and clutch pinch extra-base hits from Jake Cave (triple) and Luis Arráez (double). Byron Buxton kept the game in reach when he leaped and stole an Edwin Encarnación home run in centerfield. Buxton wasn't done contributing. With a tie game and two outs, Nelson Cruz stood on second in the bottom of the seventh. Buxton laced an 0-1 screamer single to left field to take the lead. Caleb Thielbar, Sergio Romo and Matt Wisler pitched scoreless frames to finish the game.Josh Donaldson is set to return for Wednesday night's series finale against Reynaldo López.

The Twins took two out of three from Kansas City this weekend despite hitting just .208/.284/.364. The four game series concludes tonight with Matt Wisler opening against Kris Bubic for the Royals. Devin Smeltzer is the likely candidate to relieve for Wisler after 1-to-3 innings. Kris Bubic, a left-handed rookie, has a 5.40 ERA in 15 innings this year. Bubic relies mainly on a four-seam fastball and a changeup. His fastball has averaged 92 mph of velocity so far this year. The Twins will look to capitalize and win the series.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices. All the parts your car will ever need.

The Mariners are playing the Rays later this afternoon, and Matt Wisler will open the game on the mound for the M's. Wait, who's Matt Wisler? Didn't we ask this same question a week ago? Turns out he's been pitching for the M's for about six weeks. We just aren't paying enough attention to this team because... let's face it, it doesn't matter this year. They aren't even trying to win games. There might be reason to pay a littl emore attention though. Outfield prospect Jake Fraley is set to make his big league debut, and now we've found out Felix will start against the Blue Jays on Saturday. This seems like kind of an odd move. Why would you put him out there when he's going to be a visiting pitcher in his own house? Why not wait for another series? Baker Mayfield has tried to walk back his comments on Daniel Jones, but the damage is done. It's not a surprise Cleveland has rallied around a guy like him, but it'll be hard not to smile a little when he inevitably throws a pick this season. What is going on in Oakland? JT the Brick is now covering the Raiders, and fills us in on the latest in the never-end Antonio Brown saga.
