Listen "STILL BREATHING: Why Justin Verlander WON'T Return to Giants | Survival in AZ | Blade Tidwell RISING"
Episode Synopsis
Today we ask the big question: Can the Giants pull off the unthinkable? San Francisco finally snapped a four-game skid and avoided a sweep in Arizona with a dramatic extra-inning win. The victory not only saved face but also kept their Wild Card hopes alive—just 2 games back with 10 left to play. We’ll break down how the math looks, why every inning matters from here on out, and what the Giants need to do to keep the dream alive.Next, we dive into Justin Verlander’s future in San Francisco. Verlander has been nothing short of spectacular since a mid-season adjustment, and he delivered again with seven shutout innings against Arizona. But the wins haven’t followed, and for a pitcher chasing 300 career victories, the Giants may not be the right fit. We’ll talk about why, despite his dominance, Verlander probably won’t be back with the Giants next season.Finally, a profile on Blade Tidwell, one of the most intriguing arms in the system since arriving from the Mets in the Tyler Rogers trade. He’s shown swing-and-miss stuff with Sacramento, flashing a wipeout slider and strong command before some recent health concerns slowed him down. We’ll discuss his latest outing, his place in the Giants’ long-term plans, and whether he could be an impact arm sooner rather than later.0:00 Giants Still Breathing10:33 Why Verlander won’t return17:46 Blade Tidwell ProfileTune in for a detailed breakdown on the current state of your San Francisco Giants!Locked On Giants podcast is your daily ticket to stay ahead of the game and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for the San Francisco Giants and Major League Baseball.
