The Athletic’s Grant Brisbee joins me to parse through the pain of Giants’ seasons past. We share our mutual love of ‘70s era Giants baseball, and discuss why we’ll always remember 2021 with more fondness than sadness. With some side discussions into the current playoff format, the Dodgers’ playoff troubles, the Giants winter plans, and the importance of major league baseball supplying housing for minor league players.
