• Unleashed: San Francisco Giants contenders or pretenders?
    Jul 7 2023

    Unleashed: John Lund from KNBR 680 in San Francisco:

    -Three weeks until the MLB trade deadline

    -The Giants are not contenders, fans don't want a scrappy 85 win team, it's World Series or bust

    -Which is why the Giants should be sellers at the deadline

    -It's not about appeasing fans or the clubhouse

    -They are a year away and need to add more at the deadline and in the off season

    -What they need

    -Why they should sell

    -The Estrada injury sealed the deal

    -The future is bright

    -I know fans don't want to hear it, but they are a year away.

    -Sell.

  • Unleashed: The San Francisco Giants opener strategy is a success but does it have long term staying power?
    Jun 28 2023

    Unleashed By a Area Sports Talk with John Lund from KNBR 680 in San Francisco:

    -The Giants opener strategy worked once again in Toronto

    -The Giants are 10-3 in opener games this season

    -It's a success, but will the Giants be lulled into not adding a starter at the deadline because of it?

    -Does the opener have long term staying power and will it work in the playoffs?

    -How will the bullpen respond long term?

    -I'm a traditionalist in this way, give me the 7 inning starter, 8th inning set up guy and 100 MPH closer!
