Hour 1: The Giants' woes continue, and it's not just the Nationals' offense that's got them beat. In a game that saw Logan Webb pitch an incredible eight innings, the Giants still managed to find a way to blow a three-run lead in the ninth inning. The Nationals took advantage of a fatigued Keaton Winn, who had pitched just 24 hours prior, and scored four runs to take the lead. The Giants' bullpen woes are becoming a major issue, and it's not just the lack of a closer that's the problem.

This episode of the podcast delves into the Giants' struggles, with Murph & Markus discussing Tony Vitello's decision not to send Logan Webb back out for the ninth inning. The conversation touches on the importance of experience in the bullpen and the need for a reliable closer.
