Episode #207: False Positive and a Panda Goodbye
September 14, 2020 00:00 - 7 minutes - 104 MBWhat a bizarre week of Giants baseball...even for 2020! The Giants started the week with a mini two-game sweep over Seattle, but the second game last Wednesday was played under apocalyptic skies at Oracle Park as Most of California is still on fire. Chad covered the game that night and has never seen anything like it. Your social media was probably covered with orange-tinted photos from the Bay Area. Then, just as they had started a pivotal four-game series in San Diego, Alex Dickers...
Episode #206: Giants are Exactly Average
September 08, 2020 00:00 - 51 minutes - 71 MBThe Giants hit .500 after a 4-2 week and now sit at 21-21, with zero run differential, so right in the middle, baby! But, in 2020, that's good enough to get you in the playoffs! The Giants currently hold the 7th seed, virtually tied with the Marlins and just ahead of the Rockies. There are several other teams in contention, of course. Chad and Eric discuss a good week in Giants' baseball. From a record 23 run murder of the Rockies to familiar face of Madison Bumgarner returning to t...
Episode #205: C'mon Giants, Hang in There!
August 31, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBBorrowing the slogan of mediocrity from the 1984 campaign, the Giants are indeed hanging in there thanks to a shortened season, and the expanded playoffs. After going 3-3 this week, they sit just a half game out of the 8th seed in the National League, with only 24 games remaining. This week saw the Giants with an epic walk-off homerun against the Dodgers, a double-header sweep to the same team, a boycott of a game, winning two of three in Arizona, old guys catching fire, and....no tr...
Episode #204: The Giants are Going Streaking!!
August 25, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 121 MBJust as we counted the Giants out last week after having lost 5 in a row and 7 of 8, including those 3 gut-wrenching 9th inning blown leads, the Giants turn it around and hammer out 6 straight wins (and counting) to get themselves right back in the wild card hunt at 14-16. Chad, Eric, and Willie get together to discuss each game of the week, Joey Bart's MLB debut (finally! boy can he rake!), Yaz's MVP consideration (he leads MLB in offensive WAR!) and sadly, the end to the reunion wi...
Episode #203: Heartbreak After Heartbreak
August 18, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 85.6 MBWillie Dills joined Chad this week to talk about what may be the most depressing week in regular season TortureCast history. Not only did the Giants drop 7 of 8, but they blew three consecutive save opportunities. The first was the worst: a 5-run lead in the 9th (first time since 1929 a lead this big was blown in the 9th), the next night it was a 3-run 9th inning lead, and last night it was a walk off 2-run HR by the Angels. All 3 were blown by Trevor Gott, who is officially out as c...
Episode #202: Sometimes You Don't See It
August 09, 2020 00:00 - 37 minutes - 52 MBSomehow the baseball season is still pushing forward, despite the Cardinals are now the "infected" team. In fact, although the Giants have played 16 games, which is more than a quarter of the way through the season, the Cards have only played 5 games....FIVE. The Giants went 3-5 since our last recording, but the main hurdle was Colorado, where they lost three of four, despite having late inning leads in two of those losses. They've split so far in LA, but Donnie Barrels (aka Donova...
Episode #201: Is Baseball on Life Support?
August 02, 2020 00:00 - 39 minutes - 54.3 MBAlthough the Giants had an average week, it included a dramatic splash-hit walk off, another great comeback stalled by a bullpen that exploded, Chad got credentials to cover a game, and well, basically most of the Marlins have COVID-19 (and now the Cardinals, too), which is putting the MLB season in dire jeopardy due to the number of postponed games. Eric and Chad chat about all of this and more in a brief episode 201. twitter.com/torturecast facebook.com/torturecast
Episode #200: Nine years and counting...and baseball is back!
July 29, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MBWillie Dills Gregory and his two friends started this podcast on June 12, 2011. Nine years later, we've finally reached episode 200. However, that's with the caveat that if you add all of the bonusodes, season previews and interviews, it's really recording number 258. That said, it's something to celebrate, especially as we recorded during the Giants' home opener (which they sadly lost 5-3 to SD). Chad, Eric and founder Willie Dills wax poetically over 90 minutes about the Marlins' ...
Episode #199: 2020 Season Preview
July 22, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 157 MBHonestly, we can't believe it. We are having a season preview episode. In July. Whatever. We'll take it. Joining Chad and Eric are long standing podcast veterans including a founder of TortureCast, Willie "Dills" Gregory and a woman who has joined us for numerous season previews and drunken "bonusodes," Jennifer (formerly Cosgriff) Kent. The four of us discuss the new rule changes, the potential roster, guess on the number of wins for the Giants, the World Series champs and even di...
Episode #198: We Have a Schedule!
July 09, 2020 00:00 - 51 minutes - 70.7 MBWe have a schedule! We also have injured players and others that might sit out this season. Chad and Eric discuss the first week of summer camp, the positive COVID cases, and more in this episode of TortureCast!
Episode #197: Baseball is Back!
July 01, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 96.9 MBAfter months of frustrating negotiations...the owners and players failed to come to an agreement. But alas, MLB Commish Rob Manfred instituted a 60 game season, players agreed to the health protocols, and voila! We officially have a 2020 baseball season! Here are the main points: 60 game season (40 against NL West, 20 against AL West) Universal DH In every extra inning, a runner starts the inning on second base 60 player pool; camp opens today, July 1 Season starts July 23 or 24 Tr...
Episode #196: So You're Telling Me There's a Chance
June 18, 2020 00:00 - 54 minutes - 75.2 MBWow! What a change 24 hours can bring. After MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said last week that he's '100 percent' certain that a 2020 season would happen, he flipped yesterday and said he was not '100 percent' certain. This brought ire and backlash from the players, and quite honestly, the owners and Manfred don't look good to the public in this situation, despite their leverage. This (Tuesday) morning, Manfred and MLBPA chief Tony Clark had a secret meeting and emerged with a 'framew...
Episode #195: Greed is not Good
June 03, 2020 00:00 - 48 minutes - 65.9 MBThings are tough in the nation right now. From the pandemic to civil unrest, there are many more important things happening than a podcast about baseball and the Giants. Yet, Eric and I decided to go ahead with our recording, as we only do so every two weeks at this point. Perhaps our conversation can be a distraction from these troubling times. There have been a few developments in the negotiations between the owners and players, but both sides seem to have their feet planted firml...
Episode #194: Baseball in San Francisco...in July?
May 20, 2020 00:00 - 48 minutes - 67 MBDo we think this is likely? Not really. But, that is the latest bit of news coming out of the baseball world. Last week, MLB owners sent the players association a proposal that would start an 82 game season in July. Some of the main points of how the season would work include the DH for the NL, an expanded 14-team playoff, games restricted to mainly geographic opponents to reduce travel, and a myriad of COVID-19 related guidelines for on-field play (no spitting, chewing tobacco, fist...
Episode #193: Could we Have Baseball in June?
April 15, 2020 00:00 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MBWe're back to talk about developments in a plan that may bring baseball back in some form by June. Currently, the plan is to essentially put all players and personnel in a bubble, test them for the virus every week, and make sure they only travel to and from the stadiums and hotel. However, the PPE and test kits required would put a huge strain on medical resources, and there are players with families that are unwilling to be away from their families for five months or longer. Adding...
Episode #192: There are no Sports
April 08, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBIt's April 8, 2020. Just six weeks ago, we thought we'd be talking about the first week of the regular season by now. Instead, we are without baseball, and without sports worldwide. I found myself watching old Giants games on YouTube as an exercise in remembering what it's like. Eric and I chat about how we're doing during this crisis, but we dive into plans that are being floated that may, just may enable MLB to start the season in June with play across 10+ stadiums and adhering to...
Episode #191: Corona Virus, Astros, and MLB Season Delayed: a Twitch Special
March 13, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 141 MBThe founder of this podcast, Willie Gregory (@williedills) invited Eric and I to join himself and his friend and Astros fan Ty (@tyberius_asher) on a special Twitch streamed episode to talk about the Astros cheating scandal. However, in the days that passed, the corona virus had taken over the headlines and canceled or suspended sporting events around the world, including Major League Baseball. In this special episode, we chat with Ty about how he has dealt with the Astros cheating ...
Episode #190: Spring has Sprung
February 27, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBThe crack of the bat, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the warm rays beating down on the fans. Baseball is officially back as spring training and the cactus league is a week into the 2020 season. Eric and I chat about our impressions of the first week of Giants' baseball, and to be honest, although this team may not be that good, what if they surprise us. No, not playoff surprise, but maybe a 75 win season? Time will tell. We also dive into "who is Mason Saunders?", revisit the Hou...
Episode #189: The Reverend is Back
February 11, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 94.3 MBPence is back, along with the Panda. Pretty soon we might see Barry Zito as the batboy. For all the analytical signings that Farhan zips out, he signed two fan favorites. We talk about all of the signings, FanFest, media day, Giants players adjusting to life without Bumgarner...and ALERT, PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT TOMORROW! What a sweet sentence that is. Alas, we know there is some overlap with Giants and 49ers fans. However, if you don't like the 49ers or don't care about footba...
Episode #188: Is this Real Life?
January 25, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBHappy New Year! Oh, and the 49ers are in the Super Bowl!! We last recorded in November, and WOW, what a difference a holiday season can make. MadBum signed with Arizona, the cheating scandal saw three managers and a GM get fired, Farhan Zaidi is acquiring young talent faster than his hairline is receding. Eric and I talk about the off-season moves, the Hall of Fame vote, the mostly brand-new coaching staff, including the first MLB full-time female coach, Vegas doesn't like the Giant...
Episode #187: The Kapler Era Begins
November 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 111 MBWe told you we would be back for episodes when the manager was hired. What we didn't foresee is the hiring of a controversial manager, a new GM, the loss of two HUGE Giants, the 2019 season awards, and a cheating scandal that is rocking the baseball world. Boy, did we have a lot to talk about in this meaty episode! We dive into the controversial hiring of Gabe Kapler, the hiring of Scott Harris as the GM, Will Smith signed a three year, $40 million deal with Atlanta, Bumgarner offi...
Episode #186: Nats are the Champs
November 05, 2019 00:00 - 51 minutes - 70.4 MBMuch like the "Mattress King" did, we thought the Astros would win the World Series. Unlike the "Mattress King," we did not bet 3 million bucks on it. Congratulations to the Washington Nationals for bringing home the coveted Tiffany trophy for the first time in the city's history. It wasn't the most exciting seven game series that we've seen, with only one game decided by one run and the rest by 3 or more, but it was seven games, nonetheless. Eric and Chad review the World Series an...
Episode #185: The World Series is Set
October 21, 2019 00:00 - 46 minutes - 64.2 MBJose Altuve won it for the Astros with a dramatic pennant-winning homerun in the bottom of the ninth to send them to the World Series to face the up and coming Washington Nationals who surprisingly swept the Cardinals. It's the first such pennant-clinching homerun since Travis Ishikawa did so for the Giants against the Cardinals in 2014. Let's just thank the baseball gods that it's not a Dodgers-Yankees World Series!! Chad and Eric review the league championship series, the latest i...
Episode #184: Schadenfreude
October 11, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBSchadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də] (listen); lit. 'harm-joy') is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. This is what us Giants fans experienced on Wednesday night. Despite seven consecutive NL West titles, despite a club-record 106 wins, despite setting a record for homeruns, the LA Dodgers somehow did NOT win the World Series. Clayton Kershaw, the anti-...
Episode #183: That's All She Wrote
October 01, 2019 06:54 - 1 hour - 105 MBThe 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. Thank you for your support all year long!
Episode #182: Thank You Boch
October 01, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 114 MBThank 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.
Episode #181: 2K Bochy
September 25, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 120 MBWe 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. www.torturecast.com www.facebook.com/torturecast www.twitter.com/torturecast
Episode #180: Yaz's Mad Dash to Home
September 16, 2019 00:00 - 56 minutes - 77 MBYaz'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...
Episode #179: Giants Beat LA
September 09, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MBThe 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! www.torturecast.com twitter.com/t...
Episode #178: So, We're going for 2,000 wins
September 03, 2019 21:08 - 59 minutes - 81.4 MBThe 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. www.torturecast.com twitter.com/torturecast facebook.com/torturecast
Episode #177: Longo Saves the Week
August 26, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBAfter a sweep at the hands of the Cubs essentially eliminated any chance the Giants have of making the postseason, Evan Longoria had a great weekend against the A's, enabling the Giants to take the Bay Bridge trophy and climb back to 4 games out of the wild card. But, if they had just taken one game in that crazy series against the Cubs, they'd be 2 out right now. With precious little time remaining, the Giants have to step on the gas...now! Eric and Chad review the 2-3 week and tal...
Episode #176: Yaz Hands!
August 19, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBEric said the Giants needed to go at least 4-2 this week, and well, they did. Although, we were hoping for a 5-1 week, Bum laid an egg in the last game vs Arizona. We recap a solid week of Giants baseball which saw Mike Yastrzemski hit 3, yes, 3 homeruns in a game. Last time that happened was Jarrett Parker...where is he now? We also saw the MLB debut for Logan Webb, Pillar light it up, Belt's granny, MadBum's masterpiece vs Oakland, and Will Smith's meltdowns. We review the week i...
Episode #175: I Feel Good?
August 13, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 152 MBIt's been a wild two weeks of Giants baseball. The Giants went 5-8 since we last recorded, but they only dropped from 2.5 games back to 3.5 games back. Alas, their playoff chances keep plummeting (down to 3% per fivethirtyeight.com). In episode 175, we covered the trade deadline, the fact that both Bumgarner and Smith will be with this team through the end of this season, Panik getting DFA'd, the losing streak, the 1989 Giants' reunion, Will Clark's #22 getting retired next year, Wil...
Episode #174: Dress Like Panda, Hit Like Panda
July 30, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBThe Giants keep surprising everyone. 4-2 this week with all 4 wins by one run, and 2 were extra inning. Two games were single-handedly won by Pablo Sandoval, as he hit two game winning homeruns this week. As a part-time player, he leads the team with 13 bombs. They are 26-10 in one run games and 11-2 in extra inning games. They keep pushing the narrative that this team can win, and will win close games. It's torture. It's classic Giants baseball, and Bruce Bochy thrives managing this...
Shaun Anderson post game comments 7.22.19
July 23, 2019 00:00 - 2 minutes - 1.05 MBShaun Anderson pitched 5 innings against the Cubs tonight in the Giants' thrilling 5-4 comeback win against the Cubs. Here are some of his post game comments. Be sure to check out episode 173 that we recorded earlier today!
Quick thoughts after Giants beat the Cubs
July 23, 2019 00:00 - 7 minutes - 3.54 MBThis is a quick audio byte of my thoughts as I drove home on the 101 after tonight's epic come from behind victory over the Cubs 5-4. I covered the game from the press box tonight and was treated to a 3 run eight, capped off by Joe Panik's game-winning RBI double. Giants are above .500 for the first time this season, with 6 games to go until the trade deadline. They've won 16 of 19, and the exuberant clubhouse vibe was palpable. The audio quality isn't perfect, as it was recorded in ...
Joe Maddon's post game comments
July 23, 2019 00:00 - 3 minutes - 1.74 MBFrom our friend Ryan Leong comes Joe Maddon's post game comments after the Giants beat the Cubs 5-4 in comeback fashion. Be sure to check out our latest episode 173!
Episode #173: Walk-off! Walk-off! Walk-off!
July 22, 2019 00:00 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MBThis 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 innin...
Episode #172: Bustering out of the Break
July 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBThe Giants have won 9 of 11 and lead MLB in home runs for the month of July with 22. You read that right. They lead the league in home runs this month. Did this team find their true identity, or is this just a phase like a cranky teenager going through a growth spurt? Eric and Chad talk about the series win in Milwaukee and recorded this during the Giants' 19-2 demolition of the Rockies in the first game of their day-night doubleheader today. To the surprise of everyone, the Giants...
Episode #171: Giants are Heating up!
July 08, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBThe Giants have won 6 of 7 and head into the All Star break just 5 1/2 games out of the second wild card spot. The problem is that they have seven teams in front of them, and that is why the oddsmakers give the Giants only a 0.7% chance of making the playoffs. That said, we can still enjoy some good baseball as of late with a tremendous week by Evan Longoria, who hit 5 homeruns, including 4 in San Diego, the Shark is pitching very well, Dickerson continues to swing a hot bat, and Wil...
Episode #170: We Want More Dick
June 24, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 90 MBThe title was just too sophomoric to pass up...sorry about that. But, we do want more production from Alex Dickerson, who knocked in 9 runs in the first two games in Arizona, including a grand slam, two doubles, and a triple. This performance prompted the chant, "Dick! Dick! Dick!" from the Giants' dugout. Truly an awesome sight and sound. We had a small break because of Chad's vacation, but it was a fairly successful period for the Giants, as they went 7-5 during the two week break...
Episode #169: MadBum vs. MadMax
June 10, 2019 23:28 - 1 hour - 93 MBThe Giants just can't seem to push through in any particular week, and last week was no exception. Although they did win the first game of each series against the Mets and Dodgers, they proceeded to lose the next two games and each series. They also mustered a horrendous 2 for 24 with runners in scoring position against the Dodgers, glaringly one time unable to score with the bases loaded and no outs and again with runners on the corners with no outs in their 1-0 loss on Sunday. Spea...
Episode #168: "May"be they're Better?
June 03, 2019 00:00 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MBThe Giants went 3-3 since our last podcast, but after losing the first two in Miami, I think most Giants fans will be quite pleased with winning 3 of 4 since then. But, let's be honest: going 3-3 against two of the worst teams in the league is disappointing, but also a barometer of where this Giants team is amongst the 30 clubs. We talk about the great performances of Shaun Anderson, Tyler Beede, and Jeff Samardzija, Crawford's 2 homer game, two easy wins in Baltimore, scoring 5 in t...
Episode #167: How Far Down is Bottom?
May 28, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 91.8 MBThe Giants went 1-6 since our last podcast, and have completely taken the season in a different direction, being outscored 55-19 in the process. In addition, they gave up 15 unearned runs this week, which is almost half of the season total of 32. They are dead last in hitting and fielding percentage, and 3rd worst in the NL in ERA, a spot they were third in just a few weeks ago. They've lost 5 in a row, 6 of 7, and are on pace for 97 losses. Mac Williamson was DFA'd again, Carl Yaztr...
Episode #166: Pinch hit Wonder
May 20, 2019 21:06 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBThe Giants went 3-1 after our last podcast, and have exceeded expectations (sadly) with a 17-17 record over their last 34 games. They took 2 or 3 from Arizona and their regulars have been performing well. Crawford won 2 games by himself with a game-saving play and a homerun. Panda hit 2 pinch hit HRs and won a game. Zaidi keeps the roster rotating with some shrewd trades and moves. Listen to this and more in episode 166 of the TortureCast, the podcast by and for fans of the San Franc...
Episode #165: Opener Closed
May 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBWe review the last week in Giants' baseball, including a 2-4 record, using Nick Vincent as an opener after being outscored 42-5 in the first inning through 40 games, Derek Holland's comments about a "fake" injury and Zaidi's response, injuries, the revolving door that is the roster (36 on the 25 man and counting), who's hot and not, Hunter Pence's renaissance, and much more. Although the Giants sit in the NL West cellar, there's always interesting topics to discuss...just gotta look ...
Episode #164: The Comeback Kids
May 06, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBThe Giants could have had a much worse week if it weren't for the fact that they came back from 8 runs and 4 runs down in two games in Cincinnati. They took 2 of 3 against the Dodgers and split 4 in Cincy. The Giants lead the league with a 9-2 record in one run games...that's good but not good considering their lack of ability to put teams away. Their win after an 8 run deficit is the 5th time they've done that in Giants history and the first time in 30 years. They followed that up w...
Episode #163: The Giants Aren't Good
April 29, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 98.5 MBThe Giants started off this week with a 2-game sweep in Toronto and finished a 4-4 road trip before heading back to San Francisco to face a depleted New York Yankees team that had 15 players on the injured list. That didn't matter, as the Yanks swept the Giants at Oracle thanks to bad starting pitching, poor defense, and getting behind early. Despite going 2-3 this week, the Giants sit at 11-17, last in the NL West and only surpassing the Marlins in overall record in the NL. Bum, Ho...
Episode #162: At Least the Hitting was Better this Week?
April 23, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 111 MBThe Giants raised their team batting average over the last 6 games from .199 to .209. The bad news is that the Giants' pitching staff ERA went from 2.75 to 3.22. Christian Yelich hit 8 homeruns...this week. The Giants have 13 homeruns...as a team....all season. Eric and Chad talk about a 2-4 week during this road trip, dropping 2 of 3 each to the Nats and Pirates. But, in almost every game, a single play was the difference. The Giants are, well...competitive. They truly are. A few hi...
Episode #161: Pillar Power
April 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 92 MBWhere would the Giants be without Kevin Pillar? He dominated the week, hitting 4 homeruns with 12 RBI. In fact, no other Giant had more than 1 RBI for the week! The Giants sit at 7-10, 4 games back of the Padres, but it would be much worse without Pillar's contribution. That said, he's only hitting .155 on the season, so he's getting timely hits. How long will this last? We talk about Pillar and the week in review on episode #161, including the insane 18 inning win against the Rocki...
