Duane Kuiper

Kuiper joined Murph & Mac on Tuesday morning, and said as the organization’s No. 2 pick was next up, and everyone in and around the organization had their eyes on catcher Joey Bart out of Georgia Tech, Bumgarner cracked a joke about his soon-to-be teammate.

Giants first baseman Brandon Belt just received an award as the National League Player of the Week. His teammate, Brandon Crawford, may soon be recognized as the National League Player of the Month.

Evan Longoria’s career as a Giant hasn’t exactly started off with a bang. Among regular starters, Longoria’s .406 OPS is the lowest on the club through nine games, as are his .125 batting average and on-base percentage. In 32 plate appearances, Longoria has 11 strikeouts and just four hits.

The time is quickly approaching for the Giants to make a decision about Julian Fernandez and Duane Kuiper came up with a plan that could buy the team more time on Murph & Mac Wednesday morning.

With only 18 Cactus League games left in Spring Training, Duane Kuiper told Murph & Mac it will be paramount for Buster Posey to see more time behind the plate before Opening Day.

The Giants improved their offense by adding Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, but Duane Kuiper agreed with Murph & Mac on Wednesday morning that it was equally important for them to acquire Tony Watson.

The Cleveland Indians’ longtime mascot Chief Wahoo is no more. Well, at least once 2019 comes around.

With many recollecting on memories and stories of Clark, Duane Kuiper told Murph & Mac on Wednesday morning that he hopes to bring the beloved wide receiver, who was recently diagnosed with ALS, to AT&T Park sometime next season.

Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper believes that Major League Baseball’s new collective bargaining agreement is to blame for the unseasonably slow start to the hot-stove league. The new competitive balance tax now financially penalizes teams whose payrolls exceed $197 million, and can also lead to teams having to forfeit draft picks and lose international spending money. What’s more, for teams like the Giants who are repeat offenders, a 50 percent tax is placed on every dollar spent over the $197 million threshold.

Instead of thinking of what ‘could be’ down the road, Duane Kuiper told Murph & Mac on Wednesday morning that the Giants should focus on winning in 2018.
