This week we discuss Rob Manfred's plan for expansion and "Geographic Divions". We don't think much of it, but it there any actual altruism in this plan or is Manfred just helping to pinch pennies? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the leasing of the Polo Grounds in 1880 and the stadium's significance. The stadium had 4 permutations and hosted several sports over its years with some wonderful history.Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Warren Spahn. This one was another laugher and Spahn is a no doubt hall of famer, but just how ridiculously impressive was he?In our singlular parting shot his week discuss the overblown HOF cases for a current pitcher and a current hitter with baffling buzz for Cooperstown.Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with Judge and Stanton for T-Mobile, Buster Posey for Topps cards, and Jon Miller for Dick's Sporting Goods.Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.TimestampsThis Week In Baseball - 26:41Hall of Fame Discussion - 41:48Parting Shot - 55:50
...they pull us back in. Yes, we are all Al Pacino. The Giants have suddenly forgotten how to lose. In fact, they've only lost one of their last 11 games and suddenly find themselves two games above .500 and four games back of the Mets for the third wild card with 22 games to play. We are still in snowball's-chance-in-hell territory, but it's better than last week and the week before that. This remarkable surge has been powered by the long ball with the Giants homering in 17 straight games (and counting), breaking the SF record. The NY Giants record is 19. During that streak, they've hit 36 of their 150 homers which is 24%...in just over two weeks! Willie Adames hit four bombs this week and is only four away from 30 and would become the first Giant to do so since Barry Bonds. Devers hit five this week (including a HR trot that technically lasted an MLB-record 8+ minutes!) and has 30, 15 with each Boston and SF. Chad and Eric chat about this surge, talk about their realistic chances for making the playoffs, and reveal that they will be at Chase Field on September 15 and 16 to watch the Giants take on the Diamondbacks. We'll even resurrect the bonusode!www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecastinstagram.com/torturecasttorturecast@gmail.com

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

Episode 199 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything! This week we are joined by the Vice President of East Cobb Baseball, Kevin Baldwin!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Kevin Baldwin, the head coach of the East Cobb Astro 17U national team, discussing the legacy of East Cobb Baseball, its evolution over 40 years, and the impact of Guerry Baldwin, Kevin's Dad. We explore the importance of competition, the right fit for youth players, and the lessons learned from alumni. The episode also touches on the family dynamics within sports and the future of East Cobb Academy, emphasizing the significance of fostering a love for the game while ensuring players are in the right environment to succeed. We go into the importance of calculated risk-taking in youth sports, the commitment required from players and parents, and the unique challenges of coaching in a competitive environment. Kevin also emphasizes the need for purpose in expanding youth sports programs and the significance of teaching kids to love the game.Key Points:- East Cobb Baseball has been leading the charge for 40 years.- It's important to instill a mindset of competition and hard work in youth sports.- Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.- You can't push your kids into something they're not comfortable with.- Purpose-driven expansion is crucial for youth sports organizations.- Coaching requires understanding each player's unique needs.- Parents should do their homework on coaches and teams.- Kids need to be in environments where they want to play.- Commitment and availability are key for competitive players.- Understanding the nuances of baseball is vital for success.- NIL is changing the landscape of youth sports.About our guest: Kevin Baldwin grew up immersed in baseball—you could say he was raised in the dugout. A former high school All-American and graduate of Western Carolina and Kennesaw State, Kevin dedicated his life to helping young athletes grow and succeed in the game. He coached the ECB 17u Braves for 9 years, leading teams to multiple national titles, including the Perfect Game BCS and WWBA Championships. Along the way, he coached future MLB stars like Buster Posey, Javier Báez, and Jason Heyward. When his kids were born, Kevin began co-coaching the 16u Astros with his father, Guerry, to bring the family along for the ride. Eventually, he returned to lead the ECB 17u Astros, where he continues to build a winning culture—earning national titles and mentoring future pros like Zack Wheeler, Will Smith, and Taylor Trammell. Kevin's coaching philosophy is rooted in creating a high-level learning environment, elite competition, and a deep love for the game.Follow and contact:Instagram: @eastcobbbaseball_officialeastcobbbaseball.comSubscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter
