San Francisco Giants

Mike Krukow joined Murph and Mac Monday, where he correlated the Giants mentality towards AT&T with the 1986 Giants attitude towards Candlestick.

In 23 seasons as a Major League manager, Giants’ skipper Bruce Bochy has endured 10 losing seasons. There’s no question that thanks to three World Series titles, Bochy will one day enter baseball’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. But there’s also no question that during his time in the dugout, he’s seen it all.

Barry Bonds joins 48 other former Giants in the team’s Wall of Fame. Players on the wall have to have played a minimum of nine seasons with the team, or been selected to at least five All-Star games while wearing the Giants uniform.

With the season essentially lost before the All-Star break, the Giants continue to call up prospects to see exactly what their farm system has to offer as the trade deadline approaches.

Giants 1B/OF Chris Shaw was named to Baseball America’s Midseason Top 100 Prospects list.

Hall of famer Willie McCovey joined Murph and Mac to discuss the Giants struggles this season and why having a bad year is just part of the baseball cycle.

Madison Bumgarner probably hadn’t heard the name D.J. Peters before Wednesday evening. Chances are, Bumgarner won’t remember Peters’ name much beyond Wednesday anyway. But in the fourth inning of Bumgarner’s rehab start in San Jose, the right fielder for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes did his best to leave his name etched in the left-hander’s memory.

The Giants may be on a bit of a hot streak after winning six out of their last seven games, but at 33-52 they still remain three games back behind the Padres and dead last in the NL West. Only the aforementioned Phillies have a worse record at 28-54.

The Giants battled back in the seventh inning for a 5-3 win to sweep the Pirates and earn their sixth straight win.

For the second time since being sent down to AAA Sacramento about a month ago, Christian Arroyo suffered an injury thanks to a hit by pitch. This time, it’ll cause the Giants prospect to miss some significant time.
