    Mike Krukow Joins The Show To Discuss What The Giants Plans Are For The Future of The Giants Rotation

    In a recent episode of this podcast, the conversation turned to the Giants' young pitcher Trevor McDonald, who had a tough outing in his last start. Mike Krukow discussed how McDonald's struggles might be related to his inability to recognize and adjust to the rhythm of the opposing team's hitters. This is a common issue for young pitchers, and the speaker noted that even experienced pitchers like Madison Bumgarner and the speaker themselves have had similar struggles early in their careers. The episode also touched on the progress of another young pitcher, Logan Webb, who had a strong outing in his last start. Kruk praised Webb's mechanics and noted that he's been able to repeat his delivery and dominate the knees, which is essential for his success. Mike Krukow also discussed the importance of mechanics in pitching, noting that when a pitcher's mechanics are off, they can put extra stress on their arm and lead to injuries. The conversation also covered the story of Adrian Houser, a veteran pitcher who was moved to the bullpen earlier in the season but has since found success as a reliever. The speaker noted that Houser's struggles were likely due to his lack of control and command, but he's since made adjustments and is now pitching effectively. The speaker also discussed the possibility of the Giants using a lefty opener to neutralize left-handed hitters and help Houser.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
