Episode #316: They’ve Won Every Game Since 315

It’s in the title. The Giants are on a 7-game winning streak, bookended with our recording of 315 during game 1 of the streak and tonight’s recording of 316 during the 7th game of the streak. They’re just 1/2 game back of LA and if they complete the sweep of the Rockies tomorrow, the Giants will go into Chavez Ravine tied for first. This incredible streak started with six consecutive one-run wins and eight consecutive one-run games overall, both franchise records. They haven’t lost since Buster Posey shook up the roster, DFA’ing LaMonte Wade Jr. and calling in some journeymen. Although the new guys haven’t contributed much statistically speaking, something has happened to their ability to come back and hold on to tight games, get knocks in clutch situations in between droughts of hits. Some may call it a lucky streak, but it also shows the strength of the pitching staff and their resolve. Either way, wins are wins, and the Giants are hot. Let’s hope it continues. Oh, and the pope was seen today wearing a White Sox hat, so that was cool.

Episode #286: Trade Deadline Discussion

The Giants traded a player to be named later for AJ Pollock from the Seattle Mariners today.

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

During our show today, the Giants made a trade for AJ Pollock and Mark Mathias from the Mariners for our favorite “player to be named later.” Other than that, the Giants have less than 24 hours to pull off additional trades, and this one certainly doesn’t move the needle with an aging 35-year-old Pollock hitting under .200 on the year and currently on the IL. What is surprising, is despite the 6-game losing streak, the Giants won 4 of 5 and have the third best record in the NL, hold the first wild card spot, and are only 2 games behind the Dodgers. That’s a great position to be in. That said, we looked forward to August and what lies ahead is gonna be tough with two series against the Braves, and series against the Rays, Phillies, and Reds. Lots of winning teams coming up, but the Giants have to stay at or above .500 to keep in the race. It’s gonna be an interesting month.

Episode #285: Giants Pound the Booty

The Giants were represented at the All Star Game in Seattle by Alex Cobb and Camilo Doval. Each pitched a scoreless inning, and Doval got the win, the NL’s first since Matt Cain was the winning pitcher in 2014.

Ok, we’re borrowing this title from our friends over at Giants Chatter, sue us! The Giants are riding a 5-game winning streak after a sweep of Pittsburgh, and they’ll continue their road trip into Cincinnati, DC, and Detroit. During this streak, the Giants have come within 1 1/2 games of the first place Dodgers and have passed the Diamondbacks into second place, while leading the wild card race. This team surprisingly has the second-best record in the majors since May 1. Yeah, April was that bad. Eric and Chad talk about this, the All Star game and break, the MLB draft (Giants had a good one!) and some rumors flying around that Ohtani could land in San Francisco. Oh please, don’t get our hope up.

The Giants have cooled off considerably after their 10 game winning streak. They’ve lost 7 of 10, and although they’re currently just outside of a wild card spot, they are only 2.5 games back of Arizona for the NL West…with the Dodgers in between. Eric and Chad chat about the lack of offense over the last 10 games, and look forward to the All Star Break. Although some fans think some Giants were snubbed for the All Star Game, we break it down and come to the conclusion of…not really. Who might the Giants target before the trade deadline? Stroman, Giolito, an empanada?

Since the Giants have won 12 of 14 (including 10 in a row!), they have surged into second place in the NL West, a mere 2.5 games back of Arizona and ahead of the Dodgers. They currently hold a wild card spot, and the 4th best record in the bigs. Eric and Chad review what was the catalyst to this amazing surge, and can the Giants actually sustain it and possibly take the division?

Episode #282: The Matos Era Has Begun

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

Eric, Willie, and Chad review the last week in Giants’ baseball, and they are HOT and in the hunt. Now 3 games over .500 and holding a wild card spot, the Giants are poised to make a run at the postseason. The bad news is that Mitch Haniger will be out for a couple of months with a broken right forearm, and moments before he was hit by a pitch, J.D. Davis went out with a sprained ankle. The silver lining is the call up of phenom Luis Matos, who made his MLB debut today in St. Louis by lining a single in his first AB. He’s the youngest Giant to make his debut since Madison Bumgarner. Keaton Winn made his MLB debut in St. Louis with a 4-inning save, but what’s odd is that was the first MLB park he ever set foot in. Should Crawford be the new set up man? Speaking of hot, Pederson is hitting .480 over the past week plus, Doval is a perfect 14/14 in saves, Taylor Rogers has allowed only 1 ER in his last 18.2 IP, and his twin brother Tyler is down to a 1.71 ERA. We also chat about what Joey Bart’s future is after being demoted to AAA. Barring injury or a trade, we all agree that he may stay there for the year.

Episode #234: Controlling Their Own Destiny

San Francisco Giants’ Brandon Crawford signed a two-year extension worth $32 million last week that will keep him in SF through the 2023 season. (Sports Illustrated)

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

Chad, Eric and Willie talk about the last two weeks of Giants baseball, including Brandon Crawford’s 2 year, $32 million extension and how that might affect Posey and Belt, the fact that they went 10-3 and only increased their NL West lead by a game, the dramatic come-from-behind victories, the taxed bullpen, and how this team continues to be the best in baseball with its depth, consistency and resilience. We also make fun of our pre-season win predictions and look forward to how the Giants can clinch the West, something we didn’t even consider back in April. All of our episodes are also available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, and most major podcast platforms.
