The Giants are stumbling to the finish line, and the questions now go beyond the box score. We start with the clubhouse dynamic — after Landen Roupp’s freak knee injury, Willy Adames’ words, and viral clips of Bob Melvin, is this team sticking together or just going through the motions?
Next, we dig into the lineup problem. Even with recognizable names like Chapman, Lee, and Adames, the mix just doesn’t seem to work. Is this a simple lack of power, or a deeper roster construction issue that forces hitters into roles they aren’t suited for?
Finally, we head to the River Cats Report. Blade Tidwell’s injury is a big setback for the rotation outlook, while Carson Whisenhunt, Hayden Birdsong, Bryce Eldridge, and Wade Meckler continue to shape their MLB timelines. Who could realistically make an impact down the stretch, and who’s more of a 2026 storyline?
