Thank you, Boch.
There’s no other way to put it. 2003 wins. 3 World Series Championships. Innumerable memories.
Bruce Bochy managed his last major league game on Sunday, and we were witness to one of the greatest send-offs a manager could ever have.
He is forever Giant.
Check out episode 183 for a summary of the last week in Giants’ baseball, our playoff predictions and more, but episode 182 is all about Boch.
Enjoy.

Bruce Bochy became only the 11th manager in MLB history to win 2,000 games. He will be sorely missed as one of the greatest coaches in Bay Area history. He is a certain Hall of Famer.

We weren’t sure if it was going to happen, but it did. Bochy reached 2,000 wins in his managerial career, with the help from a certain Yaz. Chad and Eric talk about Bochy’s magical milestone and the week that was in Giants’ baseball. Yaz hit a homerun where his grandpa hit homeruns. A rookie won in Atlanta where the veterans couldn’t.
Changes to the park are afoot.
Chad will be at Oracle Park on Wednesday against the Rockies with @SportsHosts. They have $9 tickets for Wednesday night. Reserve your tickets at http://www.sportshosts.com.

Yaz’s dash to home in Sunday’s game was an analogy for this year’s Giants’ team. Heart and hustle, but not the highest level of talent. But, heart and hustle will win games, as it is obvious in their 33-15 record in 1-run games, best in MLB. The Giants went 3-4 this week against the Pirates and Marlins at home, securing a losing record at Oracle Park. That said, their road record is above .500, and they can finish that way. A weird juxtaposition that the Giants will contend with next year. If they had a winning home record this year, they would be in contention.
Bruce Bochy only needs 2 more wins to reach 2,000 in his career, with 12 games to go. The Giants find themselves in Boston and Atlanta this week. Eric and Chad talk about the week that was in Giants’ baseball.
From a record-setting number of players on the roster, who’s hot and not, Cueto’s fabulous return, and the bullpen having the best ERA in the NL in September, despite the trades and injuries. All this and more in episode 180 of the TortureCast!

Bruce Bochy tips his cap to the Dodgers’ fans at Dodger Stadium as he was presented with a Sandy Koufax jersey. He declined to speak to the crowd, in fear of a Giants’ player getting struck by lightning.

The Giants beat LA. Ok, they won 2 of 3 after losing 3 of 4 in St. Louis, but Bruce Bochy single handedly won the LA series with shrewd moves with the bullpen. Maricio Dubon hit a pair of jacks, including one against Kershaw, while the Giants improve to 33-15 in one run games. Eric and Chad talk about the week in Giants’ baseball, the rookies, a record number of players on the roster, a tribute to Bochy by the Dodgers, who’s hot and not, and more!

Pablo Sandoval grounds out in what might be his final at bat for the Giants, and certainly the last AB for Bruce Bochy.

The Giants fell out of the playoff race in a huge way this week, going 1-6 and falling 8 games behind the Cubs for the second wild card. As of now, they need to shoot for 2,000 wins for Bochy (8 more) and maybe a .500 season as a silver lining. Eric and Chad talk about the bad week that was, transactions, the roster expansion, and their first 20 homerun hitter in 4 years. It’s not all bad news…just mostly.
