The Torture Cast

While Ben is on a dream trip on the east coast, there's still baseball going on here. So Chad and Willie discuss the first 22 games of the year and what some of the notable happenings have been so far. 12-10

Ben sat down with Wendy Thurm last week to discuss some of the latest changes to the Giants, including Bumgarner's emergence, the team's offense, Spring Training, and franchise players.

Chad, Ben, and Erin reunite to discuss a rough opening week for the Giants, replete with ups and downs. We talk Timmy and Wilson, what to panic and not panic about, defense, offense, small sample sizes, and Aubrey Huff. Really, we talk a lot about Aubrey Huff.

The preseason TortureCast/Giants Pod supersode! We are joined live at the public house over drinks by Danny and Thomas from the 2 Guys, a Glove & a Coke Bottle Podcast, as well as Samantha Land from KNBR and Michael from the Grubby Glove. We drink copious amounts and talk about the upcoming season. Settle in, this one goes deep.

With no Ben, Willie and Chad discuss the waning spring and how it will shape the roster in 2012. We also discuss how lame it is to beat people up and shout out Erin...again.

After some technical difficulties, Chad and Ben cover a range of Spring Topics, including Lincecum, roster cuts, coverage for starters who may see DL time in April, the cover of ESPN Magazine, gender and fandom, and an interview with Christina Russo.

Willie Dills is back on the show and we talk about the performances 10 games into Spring Training. Do they matter? Who is making waves? And who the hell is Tommy Joseph?!

The Giants were on TV last night. That was rad. We talk about it.

We get it going this week with Willie Mays and end with Mike Cameron. If you can't figure out how to get from one to other, listen to this!

Without Willie Ben and Chad welcome Erin to the show to talk about the beginning of Spring Training! It happened, it's real, the 2012 season is here. Let's Go Giants!

The boys talk about the line-up, FanFest and Timmy laying of the Double Doubles. We also feature a brand new intro thanks to Ashkon and Baily! Check out their music!@ashkonmusic@BaileyMuzikwww.baileymuzik.comwww.facebook.com/ashkonmusicFacebook.com/teambaileymuzik

The boys talk about the final pieces to the puzzle that Sabean has put into place and whether or not these were what was needed. Also, we commiserate a bit more about Eli and the other Giants.

The boys wallow in the Niners NFC Championship loss by talking about arbitration stuff, we welcome Chad King to the line-up. He's hitting 3rd of course.

The boys are back! We start a new season of TortureCast by discussing what the future holds for both the Giants and the show. Ben and Willie talk trades, signings and releases that will affect the 2012 San Francisco Giants squad.

Even on Halloween the Torture never stops as the guys forge ahead in the absence of Willie Dills. Ben Lee and Mike G discuss the goings on of the Giants in the offseason and we support the Mayoral campaign of Ed Lee.

Willie Dills and Ben Lee discuss the retirement of Bill Neukom, the moves for next year and the MLB playoffs. Also, a song from some people over at KNBR.

The Giants are officially out but TortureCast is back. After a long hiatus the boys talk about next year, this year's playoffs and much more. A segment from Chad King as well!

After losing two out of three to the Diamondbacks, the Giants are teetering on the edge of elimination from contention. The boys discuss the possibility that it might be time to stop believing and what to look forward to if so.

In an attempt to stop the feelings of depression and sadness the boys talk about their favorite Giants from years past. Also, a game and a half. A game and a half!

Without Ben or Mike, Willie Dills welcomes Chad King of Out of Left Field, Kids Are Hard and Epic Diapers to the show. We talk slumps, bumps and bruises and try to make of the most of the midsummer Giants doldrums.
