The conversation revolves around the performance of the Giants baseball team and the potential changes in the team's leadership. The speaker expresses surprise that team manager Buster Posey has moved to San Francisco full-time, suggesting that he's more focused on being a father than on managing. The speaker also voices concerns about the team's performance, noting a lack of athleticism and competitive edge.
The speaker speculates that more fans are upset with team manager Gabe Kapler than with General Manager Farhan Zaidi. This could be because Kapler, as a manager, is directly responsible for the team's on-field performance. However, Zaidi, as the GM, is responsible for building the team's roster.
The speaker also suggests that the team needs to hire an old-school coach who respects the game and doesn't rely too heavily on analytics. The conversation ends with a call for the Giants to focus on improving their roster with good players.
