Episode #229: Still the Best Team in Baseball
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – JUNE 26: San Francisco Giants' Mike Yastrzemski (5) celebrates with teammate Curt Casali (2) after hitting the game winning walk-off RBI double in the 10th inning of their game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday, June 26, 2021. The San Francisco Giants defeated the Oakland Athletics 6-5. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)
Chad, Eric and Dills chat about the team with the best record in the bigs. Over the past week, they won 4 in a row before dropping their last 2. We had fun talking about the 2 game sweep, including the crazy extra inning games against the Angels and A's and the frustration of going 0-13 with runners in scoring position in last night's loss to the Dodgers. Plus, an all-star update, injuries, a Giant gets suspended for PEDs, foreign substances, and more!

Chad, Eric and Dills chat about the team with the best record in the bigs and their power surge to the top of the homerun charts and how Farhan's moves are paying big dividends. We review the series in Texas and Washington and focus on the sweep of Arizona and series win against Philly. Who's hot and who's not, all star game voting, the pen has improved tremendously and playoff odds are increasing by the day and at this point, we'd be surprised if they don't make the playoffs.

Episode #227: Almost a Sweep Taste
Although the Giants took 3 of 4 from the Cubs, it wasn't all unicorns and sunshine as Longoria will be out 4-6 weeks with an injury sustained in this collision with Brandon Crawford during Sunday's loss. (Photo from NBC Sports)
In our 227th episode, we review the Giants-Cubs four-game series over the weekend, significant injuries, Kuip's illness, Pride day, the league's crackdown on "goo," (reference video below) and a preview of their six-game road trip to Arlington and D.C.

Episode #226: Snatchin' Walk-offs
San Francisco Giants' Mike Tauchman snatches a would-be walk-off home run off the bat of Albert Pujols. The Giants would end up winning the game in 10 innings by a score of 8-5. (Photo from NBC telecast)
The Giants' season took a depressing turn when they were swept at home by the Dodgers. But, being #ResilientAF, they brushed themselves off and won 6 of their next 7 games, including 3 of 4 in Dodger Stadium. That weekend was highlighted by a gut-wrenching, classic torturous Giants game as the Dodgers tied it up with a pinch-hit, 2 out, 3-run bomb to tie the game at 5. The very next batter, Albert Pujols, sent what appeared to be the walk-off blast over the left field wall until Mike Tauchman put on his cape and lept over the fence to snatch defeat out of thin air. The Giants proceeded to put a 3 spot in the 10th and held on for the win. That propelled them to 3 straight over the Dodgers. Chad and Willie talk about the last two weeks of baseball, the shift, Gausman winning NL pitcher of the month, postseason predictions, the upcoming series vs the streaking Cubs (9-1 over 10…and swept the Padres) and more.

Episode #225: #ResilientAF

Join us for episode #225 as we chat about the 26-16 first-place Giants as they stay hot. Yes, they should be 6-0 on this road trip, but sh$# happens. Despite having the best record in all of baseball, the Giants have still been walked off 6 times on the road. That's HALF of their 12 road losses. As Eric put it, they aren't #ResilientSF, they are #ResilientAF. We chat about the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati series, and preview the BIG series against the Dodgers this weekend. (apologies for some audio level problems, they will be fixed for the next episode)

Join us for episode #224 as we chat about the 22-14 first-place Giants as they stay hot. After dropping 2 of 3 in Colorado, they got back on the winning wagon by taking 2 of 3 at home from San Diego and swept two games from Texas. And what about Buster Posey turning back the clock and hitting almost .400? We'll review the last 8 games and preview their road trip.

Episode #223: Alone in First!

Join Chad and Eric's discussion about the last week of Giants baseball and the surprising development that this team finds itself alone in first place for the first time since August 2016. Remarkable for a rag-tag team, eh? They review the series at home vs Colorado and three at San Diego. The starters continue to dominate while the hitting and bullpen still need to pick it up. But hey, we can't complain much at this point. Then there were the infamous three straight balls called strikes in the 9th in San Diego (see tweet below). Ump had a dinner reservation, apparently. This and more in episode 223 of the TortureCast!

Join Chad, Willie and Eric's discussion about the Giants series victory over those pesky Marlins. Logan Webb looked great in the series finale, and overall the pitching once again made up for the lack of offense. Also, did Madison Bumgarner pitch a no-hitter? This and more in episode 222 of the TortureCast!.

Join all three of us as we dissect the road trip in Miami and Philadelphia, where the Giants maintained their .500 road record. The trip included a couple of shutouts, great pitching, heartbreaking losses, and a couple of fantastic comebacks. Where are all these pinch-hit homers coming from? We discuss Doval's debut, Cueto's injury, Giants with the unlucky BABIP and more in episode 221 of the TortureCast!.
