Just when they had us down, they sweep us back into their arms. Well, maybe not quite yet, but the Giants have quietly put together a 4 game winning streak and are 3 games under .500. Their offense is finally clicking, and they've even homered in 10 straight games. Devers went off tonight in game 2 of their series against the Cubs, going 4-4 with 2 bombs, a double, and 5 RBI....right after I put in the notes about his poor splits in SF vs BOS. He raised his OPS by 50 points with the Giants in ONE game! Eric and Chad chat about the good week in Giants baseball, and look towards a favorable September schedule, where the Giants will play 6 games against the Dodgers, the only winning team in their last 29 games. Now, we're not saying they are going to sneak back into playoff relevance, but we are saying if you were to line up the possibility, this would be the way to do it. We review who's hot and not, injuries, and even talk about Big Dumper and the Freak for a spell.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecasthttps://www.instagram.com/torturecast/

In Hour 2 of the Orange and Black Weekend Wrap, Sam Lubman and Dan Davone discuss Bob Melvin's status with the Giants

Giants Insider for The Sports Leader & Senior baseball beat reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle, Susan Slusser joins Murph & Markus to share her perspective on Bob Melvin's job security after the Giants have fallen apart in the second half and to discuss a couple prospects, including Hayden Birdsong & Bryce EldridgeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buster Posey is very popular with the Giants fan base. That could change if he brings Bob Melvin back as the manager next season

MR Hour 2: Whatever it is, Joe Shasky does not think Bob Melvin has it.

MR Hour 1: Buster Posey could lose the support of the fanbase if he decides to bring back Bob Melvin next year

We came up with this title at the end of this episode. If you're brave enough to listen to the end, you'll understand why. But seriously, the Giants have lost 15 of 17 at home and are no where close to orbiting the playoffs. They would have been if they had just played 7-10 in that stretch. They went 2-4 for the week and are now a solid 5 games under .500. So, what are we looking for? Good coaching, quality ABs, playing time for the younger players and prospects, less mental mistakes on the field, anything to give us a glimmer of hope for surging back to .500 and something to build upon for 2026. We also discuss the minor controversy of Heliot Ramos' statement about fans, and wonder if players really tell the truth about things that happen out of the view of reporters and fans alike. One thing is clear, the players have Bob Melvin's back, despite the ire that he has drawn from some of the fan base. We also talk about who's hot, who's not, and that we really don't miss Camilo Doval, and you're welcome, Yankees fans. Have fun with him!www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecasthttps://www.instagram.com/torturecast/

8-16 Dirty Work Hour 3: reaction to Logan Webb/Heliot Ramos' comments regarding Bob Melvin and fans reaction to losing at home, plus Matt Maiocco on preseason Game 2 takeawaysSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guru and Giddings get further into Ramos' comments and maybe he should've responded in a different way. The context in which he wanted to say it has been disputed. Plus, how has Bob Melvin managed this whole thing? Is the difference between him being a good vs a great manager a small or large margin?

Hour 1 - Guru and Giddings kick the show off getting into an article published by Scott Ostler of the SF Chronicle in which Heliot Ramos calls out the fans and that they "outside people don't know anything". Were these words taken out of context? The guys weigh in. Hour 2 - Guru and Giddings get further into Ramos' comments and maybe he should've responded in a different way. The context in which he wanted to say it has been disputed. Plus, how has Bob Melvin managed this whole thing? Is the difference between him being a good vs a great manager a small or large margin? Hour 3 - Guru and Giddings get into Niners and whether or not they'd take Kyle Shanahan or Jim Harbaugh. What are the clear cut differences between the two? Plus, when you hear someone is a "football guy", who are some people that you think of? Hour 4- Guru and Giddings get into the Niners injuries and whether or not they need to load up more or trust that some of these guys will be prepared to get back in time for week 1. Plus, Guru hears an impression of him that leaves him unimpressed.

Senior Baseball Writer for the San Francisco Chronicle Susan Slusser joins Silver & J.D. to react to a rollercoaster day for Heliot Ramos, from the interpretations of his comments defending Bob Melvin to another fan interference in the outfield, as the Giants hold on and beat the Padres 4-3See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Giants may be a bad team after all. They followed up a historic winless six game homestand with a 4-2 roadtrip, and came right back home and lost five of six, meaning the Giants have lost 13 of their last 14 at home. They last time the franchise did that was 1940 in New York. They are below .500 for the season, on the road, and at home. Their only winning month is April. Their second half is atrocious, and they are 18-33 since being tied for first with the Dodgers on June 13. This is their fourth consecutive season of having a winning record in the first half, followed by a second half collapse. Visions of the postseason snatched away by ineptitude of the summer. But why? What is happening? The players don't know, BoMel doesn't know, but we all know that they stink and they have for quite some time. Their hitting is near the league bottom, they can't hit with runners in scoring position, and they are striking out at a prodigious rate. And don't get us started on the physical and mental errors on the field and basepaths (we're talking about you, Ramos!)With 41 games left, the Giants' postseason chances are essentially zero. What can we look forward to? An Eldridge call up? For Logan Webb to regain his composure? For Melvin to stop being so passive with his coaching and maybe light a fire under their collective asses? At least the anxiety of watching the Giants in the postseason won't be a reality, but when we look back, we realize that we've only experienced that anxiety one time in the last nine seasons. Their glory days are far behind them and may not be getting any closer to rekindling them if management doesn't find a solution soon.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast

The Padres haven't been in first place this late in the season in 15 years! They pummeled Bob Melvin's old club to reach the top spot in the NL West. Now first place will truly be on the line this weekend at Dodger Stadium. Mike Shildt's club has that second half look again. Pitching has been lights out and everyone in the lineup is doing damage. Derek and Darnay size up the division rivals, and how different they look heading into this series compared to what we saw earlier in the year. Is Dave Roberts gonna try to stir something up again? What Padres do we expect to stand out? Can Derek guess the 2010 lineup from the last time San Diego was alone in first at this point? And Thursday brought bad news for one scheduled starter.

Welcome to Episode 143 of the Garlic Fries and Baseball Guys Podcast. Sam Lubman and Steven Rissotto talk about the Giants season effectively coming to an end this week, the tenuous future of Bob Melvin, and why no one seems to know why this team is struggling so much.
