00:00till 930 or whatnot, you know what?
00:03Kudos to you, Ada.
00:05You were right, I was wrong.
00:07By the way, big changes coming to the Giants.
00:09Big, big changes have already happened.
00:13So make sure you subscribe to the Garlic Fries
00:15and Baseball Guys podcast.
00:16Lawman Joe Shask, I think you guys podcast like five times this week.
00:20We'll have everything you need to know about the end of the Farhad Zardy era
00:23and the rise of Buster Posey becoming the president of Baseball Operations.
00:28Subscribe today so that you do not miss out on the best damn Giants
00:32talk in the Bay Area.
00:35You know, it's interesting that you
00:37really think that the Giants have a much, much better shot with Pete Alonso.
00:42Hold on. Let me pause right there.
00:43I don't know if they have a shot.
00:46I'm dreaming here.
00:47No, no, no.
00:47I want to support where you're going, because I
00:50I do think they have a way better shot with Buster Posey.
00:52Side unseen.
00:53All right.
00:54Because if Buster Posey sits down with Pete Alonso,
00:57Pete's at least going to listen.
00:58That doesn't mean he's going to accept, but he's going to listen.
01:01If Farhad's like, hey, I need to meet with you.
01:04I mean, he's probably like, hey, see my agent, right?
01:08Isn't there a cachet of trying to,
01:11you know, at least have a one on one with someone like Buster Posey?
01:15I would think someone like Pete Alonso, who clearly takes his craft very serious.
01:21That's the player I want.
01:22Passion, intensity.
01:23You would think that he would have some respect for him?
01:26Absolutely.
01:26I just think we're able to dream again.
01:29I don't know how much cachet Farhad had.
01:32I really don't.
01:33And knowing that Buster Posey is up there,
01:36knowing that he's a world champion, knowing that he played the game,
01:40knowing that he's going to do things the right way,
01:41knowing that he knows that he can't do this alone,
01:44that he's reaching out to guys like Brian Sabian,
01:46and he's doing his due diligence on bringing in the GM here
01:49to kind of do the day to day, every day, be the face at press conferences
01:53or whatnot.
01:55Buster Posey being here has given me hope that they can land a big fish.
01:58Now, they don't land a lot of big fishes in San Francisco.
02:00I get it.
02:01The history tells us that they need to develop and have homegrown talent.
02:05And that obviously is an emphasis on this year.
02:08Bryce Eldridge on line one, Ramos, Fitzgerald, whatever.
02:12But you do need somebody from the outside.
02:14And I look at this lineup.
02:16I need athleticism and I need some power.
02:19I take care of the power of free agency.
02:21I think Pete Alonzo, no matter what stadium he's played in,
02:23is good for 30 to 40 home runs a season.
02:25No doubt. It's just a threat.
02:27Well, and I think when you talk about relatability and whatnot,
02:31again, I'm going deep on this and people are going to roll their eyes
02:34and they're going to think it's stupid.
02:35You clearly have to have the right amount of money.
02:37That's where it starts. Years and money. Right. We all agree. Yep.
02:42I know with good authority, Buster loves hunting and fishing, loves it.
02:47I also know that Pete Alonzo loves hunting and fishing.
02:50And so if I was Buster Posey, I would suggest to Pete Alonzo,
02:54let's go on a little trip, let's go on a little guys, little guys outing.
02:57And let's just talk life, you know, and I would love to see it.
03:01You obviously have to have the right money.
03:02You have to have the right contract.
03:04Situation's got to be good.
03:05I don't know what the Mets are going to do.
03:07I mean, they're in like a very tight luxury tax situation.
03:10You know, their owner has been in trouble with Major League Baseball
03:13in terms of flying over the luxury tax.
03:16So I don't know where they stand.
03:17I don't know if they're just going to keep middle fingering Rob Manford
03:20and the rest of the baseball owners, or if they're going to draw a hard line here.
03:24I have no idea what they're going to do.
03:25Maybe they got some big contracts besides Pete Alonzo on their books.
03:29No doubt. No doubt about that.
03:30But that's where it starts.
03:32We're going to get is, but I was going to say, I mean, we actually had a host here
03:35at the station, gentlemen, try to get a professional Bay Area athlete
03:40already to try to help recruit Pete Alonzo to the Giants.
03:43This was Kyle Anderson, who's from New Jersey.
03:46Slo Mo, who's from Jersey, grew up a massive Mets fan,
03:50joined Stiney and Gu a couple of days ago.
03:52And here's Gu asking Kyle a question.
03:55Can you help the Bay recruit Pete Alonzo?
03:57Yeah. No, we need to bring polar bears back.
04:03I want Petey back.
04:05So now Buster Posey is going to have to, you know, outcompete with one Slo Mo.
04:09Kyle Anderson. Wow.
04:10Wow. Well, see, 408 here at Comcast Business Text Line.
04:13Vontae, you're talking about price all of a sudden like it's a clean up
04:15in already when he could be another Luis Matos or maybe worse.
04:18We have no idea about the guy.
04:20Let's be real. You are right.
04:21408. We have no idea about Bryce Eldridge.
04:24But today on this good football Friday, I'm thinking positively.
04:29I am thinking big and I am thinking and I am dreaming.
04:33And I'm dreaming that Eldridge will be in a three, four or five spot
04:37hitting massive home runs as a rookie.
04:40So with a lot of confidence, I'm going to tell you right now.
04:43Luis Matos is a fringe major leaguer.
04:46I don't know what he'll end up being.
04:48He's a fringe major leaguer.
04:50Bryce Eldridge is a major leaguer.
04:51He will be better than Luis Matos.
04:53I say that with the utmost confidence.
04:55And the reason that I would if you're out there, oh, Joe says he says,
04:58no, no, no. Will Clark says it.
05:00No. JT Snow says it.
05:02No. Rich Aurelia says it.
05:04Ron Wotus says it.
05:05Bill Lasky, who I talked to on the side, says it.
05:08All those people say, oh, I trust people that have seen this guy.
05:13Up close in person and know what it takes.
05:15Mindset wise, physically to be able to make the bigs.
05:19He is a big leaguer.
05:22So it's there's a reason this guy is flying through.
05:25I'm dreaming about now.
05:27Does he reach the promise that we all have?
05:29That's a whole nother story. No doubt. He's a big league.
05:31But I'm going to dream right now.
05:33Giants fans haven't had the chance to dream over the last six years.
05:38Those dreams turned into nightmares, literally.
05:40Posey's here. It's new.
05:43It's just it feels different in the air when you drive by 24 Willie Mays Plaza.
05:48It just feels different driving bright at Brick Stadium.
05:51It feels different.
05:53All of a sudden, I'm thinking to myself, I can't wait to go to a game here
05:56next season. I am alive when it comes to Giants baseball.
05:59And Pete, oh, my gosh, Pete doing it yesterday.
06:03But it is a football Friday.
06:04And it's got business to handle.
06:05This is a big two game stretch. I'm not.
06:07I know I hear you.
06:09We're going to close the book on baseball.
06:10We've been underselling it.
06:12These next two games can set the Niners up for a huge run before the bye week.
06:16I'm telling you, you beat up on the Cardinals on Sunday.
06:18They go to Seattle and they've got to have a division
06:21rivalry game up there with the twelves against DK Company.
06:24All right. You're still that game.
06:26You afford to get a mini by now.
06:28You play the Kansas City Chiefs.
06:31Now you play the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl rematch.
06:33And if you could just get that game all of a sudden, I'm thinking big.
06:37I'm thinking five game winning streak before the bye week.
06:39Hell, a five to three.
06:40What about six and two?
06:42Huh? These are the forty niners.
06:44Mason are running hard.
06:45I got Brock Purdy played as well as any quarterback in the league right now.
06:49Maybe I'm going to walk back my take on Joe Burrell.
06:51Yes, Brock Purdy is playing better football than Joe Burrell.
06:54The hell with that.
06:55I'm not scaring you internet punks who are in love.
06:58I'm right with my guy.
06:59Number 13, Brock Purdy.
07:01So let's get to football.
07:02We got Willie coming on.
07:04Patrick, what is this?
07:05A great football Friday, folks.
07:06And in eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven, zero.
07:09Come on, man.
07:10What grew said sports, man.
07:13It's a lot happening.
07:14All right, quickly, quickly, quickly.
07:16Detroit or Cleveland, who are you taking?
07:18Cleveland. OK, I am to Philly Mets.
07:23Phillies have five.
07:24I'm taking the Phillies to pitching is just too good.
07:26Yankees, Royals.
07:28Yankees at four.
07:29This is going to be a good one, though.
07:30Royals are sneaky. Good, man.
07:32I'm going to I'm going to go with the Royals.
07:34Yeah, I think it's a seven game series.
07:36No, these are best of five.
07:38Yeah, I'm going.
07:39I'm going, Bronx bombers, gore, Brock's farmers, padres over the Dodgers.
07:44I got Padres over Dodgers for.
07:47So I got Padres played the Phillies in the NLCS
07:50Yankees, Guardians of the.
07:51Yes, he's standing. But the Royals.
07:53I got Royals.
07:55Dude, Yankees pitching's all over the place.
07:57Yeah, but that hit is going to come alive.
07:59I think the hit he's going to carry one.
08:00Soto was made for the playoffs.
08:02That's great.
08:02And it's just different playoff baseball Yankee Stadium.
08:05I don't know if the Royals are ready for this. All right, don't miss the kickoff show this Sunday with Devin Giddings
08:09Or Lorenzo deal live two hours before the start of the game. I'm not gonna lie
08:12She asked him color rooting for the Yankees would at all and can I admit this out loud?
08:16We went to that Yankee game when I was in New York and I bought a blue Yankee hat. She bought two Yankee hats actually
08:24Somebody else bought a Yankee hat too and that's I'll leave it at that. Well, you're a front-runner. I'm
