The 2019 San Francisco Giants’ season is over.
We gave a tribute to Bruce Bochy’s incredible career in episode 182, but this episode wraps up the last week of the 2019 season.
Chad and Eric cover the week that was, and venture into predicting the playoffs for the 10 qualifying teams, and even review the predictions we had at the beginning of the season.

This team continues to surprise everyone, including GM Farhan Zaidi. The men in black and orange have won 15 of 18 and find themselves only 2.5 games out of the wildcard and are now tied for second in the NL West at 50-50…they’re at .500! Every win in July has increased their chances of making the playoffs and decreased the chance that Zaidi will trade anyone. The next 7 games will probably dictate what he does.
Chad and Eric talk about the Giants’ historic July, three extra inning walk-off wins versus the Mets, why Tim Flannery thinks the Giants should trade Bumgarner, who’s hot (basically everyone), the minor league report, the flurry of transactions this week, and the crucial next 7 days before the July 31 trade deadline.
Chad will be covering Monday’s game versus the Cubs, so be sure to tune into twitter @torturecast!
