Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return after a series loss to the Royals to unpack another unpredictable week of Giants baseball, featuring Wilmer Flores’s Ruthian run—and a very, very questionable hit. They also cover who should fill Justin Verlander’s spot in the rotation, fringe Hall of Fame candidates in today's game (11:09), and admit games they left early.

They also dig into:

— Patrick Bailey's brilliant throw vs. Bobby Witt Jr. (21:53)

— Carson Wisenhunt's rising case for a call-up (24:10)

— The view from national writers: Are the Giants contenders—or just hanging on? (34:30)
