    307: The World Series That No One and Everyone Wanted Preview

    Look. Many Giants and fans of other franchises did not want to see Dodgers and Yankees. Chad certainly doesn't. He's rooting for a cancelation of the World Series. But, even though Eric and Willie would never want the Dodgers to win, they are intrigued by the superstar spectacle that this is. It's a far cry from last year's small market, wild card World Series between Arizona and Texas. In their 12th meeting in the World Series (5 ahead of the Yankees and Giants), and their first Fall Classic together since 1981, the Yankees and Dodgers square off in a Fox wet dream. Between the US and Japan viewership, this could be the most watched World Series in a decade or more. The boys make their picks, lament about Bay Area sports in general, and wrap it up with a little Giants' news (3 Gold Glove finalists!). We'll be back to review the World Series and get into the hot stove season with Buster Posey commanding the ship.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

    306: President Posey

    The "Fire Farhan" brigade got their wish, but his replacement was a bit of a surprise. Buster Posey was named President of Baseball Operations of the San Francisco Giants. It's not often that a franchise icon gets a chance to run their team, but if anyone can succeed, it's Buster Posey. He was introduced Tuesday at Oracle Park and he promised to please the fans and players and get back to what San Francisco Giants' baseball is all about. This man appears to care deeply about this team, and is somewhat putting his reputation on the line. A few call this move desparate, but it seems that most Giants fans are 100% behind this move. I mean, could it be worse than Farhan? One playoff appearance and one winning record in 6 years suggests not. Farhan's time ran out. Maybe he was given too much rope as it is. Chad and Eric talk about this monumental decision in Giants history and the potential good and bad ramifications it could have on the franchise (we think mostly good!). www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

    305: The Last Bay Bridge Series

    Be honest, you don't really care about the Bay Bridge Series, but now that it's gone, you pine for it. The Giants made their last visit to the Oakland Coliseum over the weekend for the final Bay Bridge Series, splitting the two games with their soon-not-to-be cross-bay rivals. Next year, the Giants will travel to their OWN AAA ballpark to play the A's...wtf? Chad is joined by special guest Ryan Leong (@ryanleong) from Bay Area Sports Wrap to discuss his 25+ years of covering pro Bay Area sports and of course, Giants baseball. We take a historical look into the Giants' franchise and how the near-move in 1993 compares with the A's move today. We also chat about his Starter jacket collection, favorite memories at the Coliseum, Blake Snell, Logan Webb, Matt Chapman, the Giants' playoff chances (now officially on life support), and frankly, criticize both Melvin and Zaidi. Ok, we are two grumpy 50-year old men shaking our fists at the Giant clouds in the sky.@torturecast (Twitter and Instagram)facebook.com/torturecasttorturecast.com

    304: Don't Tease us, Giants!

    The Giants have been slowly creeping up in the standings and suddenly find themselves 2 games above .500 and only 1.5 games back of the wild card with 42 to play. We discuss their playoff chances, their recent trades, the demotion of Doval, Snell's resurgence and no-hitter, the all-important 4-game series with the Braves this week and much, much more. www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecasttwitter.com/torturecast

    303: Giants are Mid

    Well, they are. At the All Star break, the Giants stand at 3 games under .500, and while they are only 3 games back of the final wildcard spot, they have 5 teams ahead of them. That's a tough assignment. Should they sell, buy, or stand pat? Eric and Chad discuss the Giants prospects of making the playoffs with 67 games remaining. We also had an All-Star game, where the two Giants didn't do so well in another NL loss. And...we talk about the MLB draft with the Giants going outfield heavy in the early rounds.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

    302: The Say Hey Kid

    Willie Mays, a legendary figure in baseball history, forged an incomparable legacy throughout his illustrious career. Born in 1931, Mays made his Major League Baseball debut with the New York Giants in 1951, quickly capturing attention with his exceptional athleticism and prowess both at bat and in the outfield. Known for his remarkable catches and powerful hitting, Mays became a symbol of excellence and determination on the field. His tenure with the Giants, which continued when they moved to San Francisco in 1958, solidified his status as an icon for both the franchise and its fans. Mays' impact transcended statistics; he embodied the spirit of the game, inspiring generations with his charisma, sportsmanship, and unwavering dedication. His contributions to the Giants' success and his influence on the sport as a whole remain unparalleled, making Willie Mays a revered figure in baseball and a beloved hero to Giants fans everywhere. Chad, Eric, and Willie reflect upon Mays' life and career after his passing earlier this week. Mays' was Eric and Willie's favorite Giant, and Eric wouldn't even be a fan of the Giants if it weren't for Willie Mays. Willie Dills' always wears 24 and heck, his NAME is Willie. It's not sad, but it is somber that Mays passed away two days before the game at Rickwood Field was to honor him. We spend the majority of this episode talking about his career and impact on our lives, review the experience and game at Rickwood Field, then wrap up with where the Giants stand at almost the halfway point in the season.Willie Dills also recorded a few minutes of audio while standing at Mays' statue at Oracle Park the day after his passing. That audio can be found separately or at the end of this podcast.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast

    Willie at Willie

    Our own Willie Dills went down to Oracle Park and the Willie Mays statue on the day after Mays' death and shared a few thoughts while standing in front of the "Say Hey Kid." RIP to the GOAT. We'll miss you.

    301: Judged

    The Giants had a good two weeks going, winning 10 of 12 games and getting 2 games north of .500. Until they faced the Yankees. Aaron Judge went off at Oracle, something Giants fans dreamt of a couple of years ago. Except, he did it in Yankee road grey going 6-10 with 3 bombs and even 2 stolen bases. It didn't help that Camilo Doval blew a 2 run lead in the 9th to complete the Yankee sweep. We look into some of Doval's metrics, and let's just say his barrel and hard hit percentage are near the bottom of the league, where it's traditionally near the top. Perhaps his stuff isn't moving as much, because the velocity is there. After recording, the Giants went out and lost another heartbreaker to Arizona in walk-off fashion. They have lost 5 in a row and are 3 games below water. Not great, but still within 1.5 games of the wild card. Chad, Eric, and Willie are actually pretty positive about this team. They ran into the Yankee buzzsaw, but also took 2 of 3 from the best team in the NL, so there's that. Still, it's going to be an uphill climb with the piling injuries (Lee out for the year, Wade out for 4 weeks, etc.) and young guys trying to find their place. www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast
