Episode #339: Arizona Razing

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 finish well. We are absolutely looking at a team that could lose 100 games for only the second time in franchise history. Who’s to blame? Do the fans care? Should they break it down and rebuild? These are questions we didn’t think we would ask. But, here we are. The TortureCast three break down their opinions of this club and what they should do going forward.

Episode #338: Could They Beeee Any Worse?

Our “Friends” are concerned about the Giants. Are you? (Generated by AI…duh)

You can download the episode here, or stream it below!

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 have had three dramatic late-inning failures in the last week, fueling eight losses in nine games. One one direction they can go: up! Who are we kidding, down is still possible…

Chad and Eric were hopeful that their trip to Arizona would bear witness to the Giants leapfrogging the Mets into the third wild card position, but instead were witness to the final nail in the coffin to their postseason hopes. Although we did get to see Bryce Eldridge’s Major League debut, we also witnessed an 8-1 drubbing followed by a walk-off win for the Diamondbacks on a game which the Giants led by four runs. It was a frustrating experience, but it does give clarity to the fact that this team is not ready for the playoffs. We chat about the season that could have been and our experience at Chase Field.

Episode #325: TortureCast live from Arizona!

Patrick Bailey walked off the Dodgers with a 10th inning grand slam that put the Giants within 1/2 game of the Mets.

Chad traveled down to Arizona to meet Eric for a couple of Giants games, but we wrapped up the last 10 games in a special live and in-person episode! We thank the Mets for their 8-games losing streak that enabled the Giants to get to within 1 1/2 games, despite the Giants going 4-5. And, our timing couldn’t be better because Bryce Eldridge has been called up and we should be seeing him the next two nights at Chase Field. Join us for a fun and rare episode!
