Hour 1: Yesterday's press conference with Buster Posey was a mixed bag, to say the least. The Giants' president of baseball operations was put in a tough spot, trying to address the Pride controversy and the recent issues with Rafael Devers and Tony Vitello. But did he handle it well? The guys on the show aren't so sure.

Hour 4: The Giants are back in action today with a doubleheader against the Braves, and we've got some exciting news: Carson Whisenhunt is making his season debut in game two. This young lefty has been making waves in the minor leagues, and we're eager to see how he'll perform in the big leagues. But before we dive into the action, let's take a look at what's been going on in the world of baseball. The Giants have been dealing with some injuries in their starting rotation, and it's been a challenge to find the right combination of pitchers to get the job done.

We'll be discussing the potential for Whisenhunt to become a key player in the Giants' rotation and what this means for the team's future. The conversation also touches on the trade deadline and the possibility of moving some of the team's big contracts. We'll be discussing the challenges of trading players like Buster Posey and Matt Chapman, who have significant contracts and may be difficult to move. And in other news, the 49ers are reportedly ready to move on from Brandon Aiyuk, who has been a source of controversy this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York Post columnist and MLB Network insider Jon Heyman joined Willard and Dibs to discuss Bryce Eldridge's emergence, what the Giants can get for Logan Webb if they choose to deal him at the trade deadline, Tony Vitello's hire and a grade for president of baseball operations Buster Posey

This is Buster Posey mess, and he will get a chance to clean it up

Steiny & Guru discuss the reasons why the Giants cannot close close games and if the blame really falls at the feet of the coaching staff or players.

Three time World Series champ Jeremy Affeldt joined The Roast to talk about the Giants white-knuckle win yesterday, how he would pitch top Bryce Eldridge and the difference of throwing to Benji Molina and Buster Posey.

The Giants have the third worst 63-game start in franchise history (1902 and 1943) and the worst in San Francisco history at 25-38, tied with the 1985 100-loss and 2017 98-loss teams. Despite the doom and gloom, the offense has come around as of late. Luis Arraez and Jung Hoo Lee have the third (.325) and fourth (.322) best batting averages in baseball, and as a team, are fourth in batting average (.256). They lead the league in doubles and grand slams, and Bryce Eldridge is flirting with .300. Casey Schmidt is looking like an All-Star, smacking his 13th homer (a new career high...in June) today. And, Logan Webb carried a no-hitter into the 7th in a 1-0 victory over the Brewers. That said, how will the Giants sell at the deadline? What can Buster Posey do at this point to improve the DNA of this team, especially as much of the team is now under his mold?www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast
