We're back to recap the happenings in the front office and to dicuss what we think will be Buster Posey's front office style and philosophy. Will someone who better understands the unique culture that surrounds the Giants make a difference? Will Posey go all out for Snell? How will he handle prospects and what is he looking for in a GM? We tackle all these questions and more.

Also we talk about how dynamic the playoffs have been and ask the impossible question of whether we are morally obligated as baseball fans to root for a Dodgers/Yankees World Series for the good and health of baseball and it's popularity?

We were thrilled to have something to talk about besides poor performances with runners on third less than two outs, being no-hit for six innings or starter meltdowns.

Matt Chapman has signed a six year $151 million dollar extension and we break down why this deal makes sense and why the Giants HAD to do it. Will they regret the last couple years, maybe. Are Chapman slumps REALLY hard to watch, yes. But he provides a defensive anchor, solid offense and incredible leadership. We talk about it all.

After that, we break down why we think the Giants may be the front runner to sign Blake Snell and whether they should go all in to get him signed as soon as possible.

The Giants sit at .500, STILL, at the time of this recording but their playoff odds have dropped to a piddly 3%, so after a brief view of what happened in the last two series we talk about what we want to see the rest of the season.

Jackson feels we need to find out more about what the Giants have in Thairo Estrada and they must preserve the important bullpen pieces for next year.

Max says that Conforto should no longer be taking at bats in a Giant's uniform and that Jordan Hicks has already given more than expected and should be handled with great care.

All that and more as we talk about what happened, what's next and where do we go from here.
