The conversation also touches on the emergence of young star Bryce Eldridge and the importance of the team's bullpen.

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
Happy Pride and welcome to June, where the Asians in Baseball underdogs are CRUSHING IT.3:45 - First up in position player news, some big moves this week that include Munetaka Murakami going on the 10-day IL, Jung Hoo Lee is ELITE elite (like, hitting 517 in his last 7 games elite), and the Red Sox Asians -- Yoshida, Wong, and Kiner-Falefa -- are HOT at the plate...even if their team is not. 20:45 - Ohtani the hitter is back to his old form, giving himself run support and generally just being the GOAT. And Naomi has a word for Brewers fans (hint: it's the same one that Ohtani uses when he's frustrated on the mound...)26:40 - Ohtani the pitcher is NOT satisfied with 6 innings of no-hit ball!!34:36 - In pitching news, Imai tosses the bulk of a combined Astros no-hitter, Kai Wei Teng seems quite comfortable in his new role as a starter, and we don't know what the heck is going on over at the Mets, but we do know that Jonah Tong and Sean Manaea are up for the task of righting the ship. 50:42 - This week's hot topic: What are we going to do with Hyeseong Kim and the Dodgers???
The San Francisco Giants are only able to squeak one win out in Colorado but do so in a BIG way by scoring 19 runs on Sunday afternoon. The guys have a lot to talk in the first hour of the show as they discuss the reassignment of Hector Borg with Ron Wotus replacing him as third base coach, Logan Webb finally back from the IL, Jung Hoo Lee staying hot offensively and defensively also coming back from the IL, and much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Elly De La Cruz is undergoing an urgent Monday morning MRI after exiting early with right hamstring tightness. Corey Pieper analyzes the massive fallout from weekend injury news, key Statcast trends, the Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical updates are altering the fantasy landscape as Munetaka Murakami is sidelined for up to six weeks with a severe hamstring injury, Eury Perez suffers an eight-week gracilis strain, and both Casey Mize and Bailey Ober hit the shelf. Fantasy managers get a breath of fresh air as Logan Webb and Jung Hoo Lee return from the injured list. Statcast data signals a massive buying opportunity for Shota Imanaga despite coughing up three home runs, as his underlying vertical approach angle remains elite. Conversely, look under the hood of Bailey Ober's horrific twelve-hit shellacking, where a sudden velocity dip preceded his immediate move to the injured list with elbow inflammation. For the Waiver Wire, we map out priority additions available in most shallow configurations, highlighting deep-league stashes like Jake Bauers, Carson Benge, Curtis Mead, Tatsuya Imai, Kai-Wei Teng, and Troy Melton.

Steve Kroner from the San Francisco Chronicle joins SportsPhone KNBR with Bill Laskey to break down the Giants' 5-1 win over the Pirates on Friday night, from Jung Hoo Lee's highlight catch on the right field netting, Robbie Ray's historical three walk, three strikeout inning, and Caleb Kilian staying composed to close the ninth inning with runners on base.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tyler Glasnow is pitching like an absolute ace, but his history of back issues and a current workload of 140 projected innings make him the ultimate sell-high candidate. Joe and Corey debate whether to flip him now for a slow-starting superstar before the inevitable injury risk catches up to his elite surface stats. The waiver wire is filled with multi-positional assets this week, including Casey Schmidt, Brooks Lee, and Andrew Vaughn. The guys also look at Brice Matthews, Bryson Stott, and pitchers Payton Tolle and Max Meyer, though they question if these arms are being overlooked in too many leagues. Agustin Ramirez is officially this week's rage drop after being sent down to Triple-A to work on his defense. Other drops discussed include Jung Hoo Lee, Tanner Bibee, and Emmet Sheehan, with the hosts noting that Sheehan's increased home run rate and hard contact make him someone else's problem. Rankings risers are led by Brandon Marsh, Jordan Walker, and Mickey Moniak, while Jack Perkins is surging as the potential new lockdown closer for the Athletics. Fallers include Rafael Devers, Luis Robert Jr., Joe Ryan, Spencer Strider, and Bubba Chandler, who is struggling significantly with his command. In the trade market, Corey Seager and Logan Webb stand out as premier buy-low targets despite their slow starts. Eury Perez remains an upside play, while Oneil Cruz and Justin Wrobleski join Glasnow as players to move now while their value is peaking.

Shasky and Lubman dive into why the Giants would send Jung Hoo Lee home from first after a single up the middle.
Eric and Chad digest the meat loss sandwich the Giants made this week (that's four meaty losses in a row, bookended by two thin slices of wins). Giants fans are pining for some signs of life, but the team is falling further back in the standings and digging their hole a little deeper every week of this young season. They are last or near the bottom of the league in most hitting categories, and their pitching is sub-average. That said, it was nice to see Landen Roupp and company toss a 1-hit shutout today in Cincinnati. There is some life emanating from Jung Hoo Lee, but the outfield and Bailey remain mostly abysmal. They have time to turn this around, but it can't wait much longer.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast
Hour 2: Silver and Krueger break down the Giant's struggles, focusing on the offense and outfield production. They discuss the disappointing performances of Jung Hoo Lee and Harrison Bader, and the need for the team to get more production out of their outfield.
