Willie Dills graces the mic to recap the last several series of Giants baseball. This team has been testing our patience, and when they perform well (like, vs LA and Oakland), we think maybe they're coming out of it, but then they fall back into their regular pattern of no offense and soul-crushing endings like last night's 2-out walk off vs Arizona. Willie covers a bit of the trade of Patrick Bailey to the Guardians, Rafael Devers struggles, Adames underperformance, and the fact that Casey Schmitt is the Giants best player. Maybe baseball in the 1880s is more entertaining than Giants baseball right now. They are 6-6 in their last 12, but that's not going to pull them out of their hole in the National League, sitting at 20-29 with the 4th-worst record in MLB. Listen and commiserate with Willie.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast
