Max and Jackson break down the Giants last road trip where they went 5-5 with a mix of lucky and unlucky breaks. They say good teams play .500 on the road and clean up at home and that's exactly what the Giants did during this grueling 17 game stretch with no days off.

This episode doesn't cover the most recent home stand but still covers all the big picture topics that either plague the Giants or are lifting them to the top of the NL West.

Who's hitting and who's not? Is the starting pitching going to hold up? Birdsong is a super-reliever? What's wrong with Wade?

We break down all these questions and more!

Jackson and Max break down the big picture over the first two weeks of the series (through the Reds series.) Who's hot? What's working? And the fact that early on, this team is more fun to watch then Giants fans have experienced in years.

Max and Jackson break down the starting pitching outlook as spring training comes into the last couple weeks. The competition for the 5th starter spot is still fierce between Landon Roupp, Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison.

With the top four settled we discuss what the floor and ceiling may be for this rotation, how realistic it is to expect strong seasons from Verlander, Ray and Hicks and examine the depth in the rotation and how the Giants could creatively use the abundance of young starters they have.

Lastly we lament the fact that the Rays owner may be forced to sell after another stadium deal falling apart and the injustice of Major League Baseball insisting that they keep baseball in central Florida after paving a golden path for the A's to leave Oakland.
