Episode #287: Where Has All The Hitting Gone?

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

After a break in recording, we come back to the mic to find the Giants buried in the NL West, but still firmly in the wild card race. With a 7-11 record in August, and the Dodgers going 17-2 during that same period, the Giants are now 11.5 games back with 38 to play, so they can kiss the division title goodbye. That said, the playoffs are still within reach, as they currently hold the second wild card. BUT, 5 teams are all within 1.5 games of each other for the second and third spots, and the Phillies are 2 ahead of that. Speaking of, the Giants have a huge series in Philly, as they try and take advantage of a wild card competitor. After losing 5 consecutive series, and going 2-14 over their last 16 road games, the Giants desperately need some road magic. Kyle Harrison finally gets the call up and will start in Philly on Tuesday…just don’t walk half the lineup, kid.

Episode #286: Trade Deadline Discussion

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

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.
