RISE & FALL: Tyler Fitzgerald's FUTURE | Giants DROP 4 STRAIGHT | Playoff Chances DWINDLE

That’s all she wrote. For the second time in four games, the Giants jumped out to an early 4–0 lead — only to watch it evaporate before fans could even grab a drink. Tristan Beck got through a clean first inning but gave up three runs in the second, and from there it felt like a script we’ve seen too many times. The game ended on a Casey Schmitt error that led to a Mets walk-off, sealing another gut punch for San Francisco. Meanwhile, the Mets are finding their stride again while the Giants continue to stumble, still staring down a brutal upcoming Dodgers series. Maybe this collapse just fast-tracked reality — giving Buster Posey and the front office more time to take stock of where things truly stand. Because if the Giants had dragged this out until the very end, it might have given the illusion that they were closer to contention than they actually are. From there, we dive into the “Rise and Fall” of Tyler Fitzgerald. After a scorching finish to 2024 where he hit 15 home runs in 96 games, Fitzgerald entered 2025 with big expectations. Instead, inconsistency and limited opportunities derailed his season. Now stuck in Triple-A with a .240/.308/.683 line, his once-bright role is fading. With service-time manipulation in play, the Giants gain team control through 2030 — but for Fitzgerald, the path forward is murky. Finally, what’s next? With Justin Verlander starting against the Diamondbacks, the Giants get one last shot at staying alive before their trip to Los Angeles. But if they drop another, the season shifts from “push for a playoff spot” to “evaluate young talent.” Names like Jesus Rodriguez and even Patrick Bailey’s continued growth come into play. 0:00 Giant lose 4th straight 13:15 Rise & Fall of Tyler Fitzgerald 24:43 What’s next for the Giants Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-san-francisco-giants/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB #SFGiants #FirstListen #Giants #sanfranciscogiants #sanfrancisco #baseball #mlb Tune in for a detailed breakdown on the current state of your San Francisco Giants!
