We're back for the new year with a fresh episode to bring updates regarding the MLB lockout of players, but in addition, we have a little discussion about the insane football playoff games from this past weekend, the fact that the Giants never even offered Kevin Gausman a contract, and it looks like Bonds will not make it to the Hall of Fame in his 10th and final year of eligibility. www.torturecast.com

This is Chad King from Torturecast with a few notes and sounds from last night’s 4-0 victory over the LA dodgers in game 1 of the National League division series at Oracle park. Logan Webb reminded all of us of Tim Lincecum’s postseason debut against the Braves in game 1 of the NLDS in 2010. Webb threw 7 ⅔ scoreless innings while striking out 10 and issuing zero walks. The offense was powered by a 2 run opposite field home run in the first by Buster Posey, followed by solo shots by Kris Bryant in the 7th and Brandon Crawford in the 8th. Tyler Rogers got one out in the 8th and Camilo Doval retired the side in order in the 9th.Our friend Ryan Leong from Bay Area sports wrap was at Oracle last night and kindly shared some audio with us. The first is Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford talking about how Logan Webb has improved in his abilities over the last two years. Giants starting and winning pitcher Logan Webb says says it's always been his goal since he was a child to pitch in a playoff game Dodgers manager Da

A fantastic 5-1 week saw the Giants' NL West lead grow by one game to 2 and their magic number shrink to 5 with 6 to play. Unfortunately, the good vibes were marred somewhat when we found out that Captain Belt has a fractured finger that could jeopardize any playoff participation...and he had been one of the hottest players in baseball, cranking out homers 28 and 29 in a game this week. Eric, Chad and Willie talk about the week that was and look forward to the last 6 games of the regular season as the Giants try and clinch the NL West and avoid game #163 and the wild card game. Plus, we bring back the old segment, "Why we will win it all!"www.twitter.com/torturecast www.facebook.com/torturecastGet 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code TORTURECAST at MANSCAPED.com! #ad #manscapedpod

This week, the Giants clinched a postseason berth for the first time in 5 years, but they're not close to being finished. With the best record in baseball and a slim lead in the NL West, they still want to win the division and move deep into the playoffs. Eric and Chad talk about the past week in Giants' baseball and how the last 12 games may shape up for them and the Dodgers, as the loser will be facing a wild card elimination game despite winning more than 100 games. Torture, indeed. www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecasttwitter.com/torturecast

The boys are still in first and un-abashed Astros fan, Ty Thomas, joins us to discuss why the Giants are the best team in baseball.  

Join us for episode #237 as we review a crazy week in Giants' baseball that culminated in a hotly contested series with the Dodgers. The Giants briefly dipped to second place for like 11 hours before reclaiming the top spot. Are we worried about the lack of hitting with RISP? Jake McGee? The playoff rotation? We cover this and more! Audio version is available wherever you get your podcasts. 

The Giants are guaranteed to have their best monthly record of the season. They won nine straight series. They went 6-3 on the road trip, yet here they are, only 1.5 games ahead of the Dodgers. Eric and Chad talk about how this resilient team will deal with positive COVID tests for Donovan Solano and Alex Wood, and a sick Johnny Cueto, all while they head into huge series with the Brewers and Dodgers. All of our episodes are also available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, and most major podcast platforms.You can join us live on Facebook every Monday around noon Pacific time, and all past videos are on www.torturecast.com.tps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=349062300263243www.twitter.com/torturecastwww.facebook.com/torturecast

What an exhausting week of Giants' baseball, filled with a heart-crushing defeat, victories snatched away from losses at the last minute, and back to back jacks twice, Chad and Eric talk about it all. The Giants maintain their NL West lead, but it did slip a bit to the streaking Dodgers. We also talk about the pros and cons of a team that relies, more than any other team, on the long-ball to score runs. We're in the last lap of the mile now, and the Giants have their eyes surprisingly set on capturing the division title for the first time in nine years. All of our episodes are also available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, and most major podcast platforms.

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.

Chad, Eric and Willie talk about the trade that brought in the big fish, Kris Bryant, and the potential effect he'll have on the Giants and their race in the NL West. We also talk about the huge series against the Dodgers and Astros at Oracle this week.
