Rafael Devers Refuses to Talk to The Media — Evan Webeck

Logan Webb has been on an absolute heater lately, and it's not a coincidence — he's started calling his own games behind the plate, and the results speak for themselves. California Post Giants beat writer Evan Webeck joins the show to break down what's really going on with the Giants pitching staff's "trust factor" with their catchers, why this all traces back to the Patrick Bailey trade, and whether Tony Vitello's hands-off approach in the clubhouse is starting to look like a real problem. Evan dives into Webb's recent run — 31 innings, just 3 earned runs over his last four starts — and explains how the shake-off process between pitchers and a still-developing group of catchers is shaping the entire staff's performance. He also gets into Adrian Houser's blunt comments about never quite syncing up with a Giants catcher the way he did elsewhere, and why six weeks after the trade, the staff is still catching up. Then the conversation shifts to the clubhouse — Willy Adames' rocky start to living up to his contract, Tony Vitello's pattern of staying quiet on player accountability, and the fallout from the now-infamous Devers/Tingler incident, including why Rafael Devers continues to avoid the media almost entirely.
