The Giants pulled in a haul of prospects just before the trade deadline, but parted ways with six, yes SIX players on their major league roster. Buster Posey and management gave a clear sign that they were willing to do a near full rebuild. I mean, they still have talent on their roster, but they have waved the white flag for this season, and probably next season. We break down all five trades and…
The Giants entered the All Star Break with their 6th-worst record in San Francisco history at 41-55 and the third worst team in the National League. Where do they go from here? Clearly not the playoffs. Who will they trade, who would you miss in a trade? Chad and Eric catch up to break down the Giants biggest flaws of the season, try to predict the trade chips, discuss the HR derby and All-Star…
Normally, we don't get political, although we believe the Pride Night fiasco is actually not political, but about human dignity, decency and acceptance. Although we spend the first 20 minutes talking about Giants' baseball on the field, we do reserve the last half+ to talk about the way the Giants handled Pride Night. We understand if you don't want to listen to it, for whatever reason, so feel…
The Giants took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend, but it should have been a sweep. After clobbering seven homeruns in an 18-3 drubbing of the Cubs in game one, they traded extra-inning wins in the 10th. The second game was painful, as PCA hit the game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth. The Giants offense has exploded over the last 30 days, a stretch where they are the best in the…
The Giants have the third worst 63-game start in franchise history (1902 and 1943) and the worst in San Francisco history at 25-38, tied with the 1985 100-loss and 2017 98-loss teams. Despite the doom and gloom, the offense has come around as of late. Luis Arraez and Jung Hoo Lee have the third (.325) and fourth (.322) best batting averages in baseball, and as a team, are fourth in batting average…
It's definitely not Razing Arizona, it's the other way around. The Giants have lost all 6 games against the Diamondbacks this year and 9 in a row, extending from last year. Their record stands at 22-34, the third worst record after 56 games in the 140 years of this franchise, and we are more than one-third into the season. The other Giants teams that were at or below the current record did not…
Willie Dills graces the mic to recap the last several series of Giants baseball. This team has been testing our patience, and when they perform well (like, vs LA and Oakland), we think maybe they're coming out of it, but then they fall back into their regular pattern of no offense and soul-crushing endings like last night's 2-out walk off vs Arizona. Willie covers a bit of the trade of Patrick…
The title is vocalized by Chandler's character from "Friends," FYI. Anyway, could they be any worse? Well, the only time they were after 37 games was in 2017...by one game. So, this is their second-worst 37 games start in franchise history. Eric and Chad dive into the desert that is the Giants offense and try to understand what could be causing it. Pitching has been statistically average, but they…
Eric recaps the winning series at home against the Marlins. Schmitt and Lee were top performers, and the Giants are starting to show some life. That's three series victories in a row for the Giants as they move onto Philly to try and get to .500. www.torturecast.com @torturecast facebook.com/torturecast
The Giants finally had a good week of baseball, winning four of six, including two of three from their arch rival Dodgers. The boys talk about the rivalry, the drama with Daulton Rush, their lack of hitting, but also how their pitching is starting to lock in. They actually looked like a major league club this week. We also figured out that we need to do separate shows about obscure baseball rules…
