This is Chad King from Torturecast with a few notes and sounds from last night's 4-0 victory over the LA dodgers in game 1 of the National League division series at Oracle park. Logan Webb reminded all of us of Tim Lincecum's postseason debut against the Braves in game 1 of the NLDS in 2010. Webb threw 7 ⅔ scoreless innings while striking out 10 and issuing zero walks. The offense was powered by a 2 run opposite field home run in the first by Buster Posey, followed by solo shots by Kris Bryant in the 7th and Brandon Crawford in the 8th. Tyler Rogers got one out in the 8th and Camilo Doval retired the side in order in the 9th.Our friend Ryan Leong from Bay Area sports wrap was at Oracle last night and kindly shared some audio with us. The first is Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford talking about how Logan Webb has improved in his abilities over the last two years. Giants starting and winning pitcher Logan Webb says says it's always been his goal since he was a child to pitch in a playoff game Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says his team kept the same approach at the plate and Logan Webb exploited their weaknesses Dodgers losing pitcher Walker Buehler says he didn't do his job and he takes the blame for the loss. A big thanks to Ryan Leong from Bay Area sports wrap, go follow him over on Twitter @ryanleong Well, the Giants and Dodgers will do it again tonight at ORacle when Kevin Gausman faces 20 game winner Julio Urias. Hopefully the Giants can put their foot on the Dodgers' throats by going up 2-0. I'll be in the bleachers with the rowdy crowd tonight. It should be fun. Don't forget to follow us on twitter @Torturecast, like us on Facebook and check out our site at Torturecast.com. Just yesterday KTVU ran a story about Torturecast and Giants fandom featuring yours truly. The video is up on torturecast.com. Have a great day, and Go Giants! Boom!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' dominant sweep in Denver, as they blew past the 100-win mark, set the franchise's all-time home run record, and reduced their magic number to win the NL West to five. Any combination of Giants wins and Dodgers losses that sums to five means the Giants win the NL West. The Giants dominanted in Denver in part thanks to excellent pitching. In 27 innings, Giants pitchers struck out 34 and walked one. Kevin Gausman was back to his dominant self, striking out 11 and walking none in six excellent innings. Gausman finding himself just before the playoffs would be a huge development for the Giants. However, the club is also dealing with a major injury scare. Self-declared "Captain" Brandon Belt was hit by a pitch in the thumb while squaring to bunt on Sunday. Initial scans were inconclusive, so Belt is going to have x-rays in the Bay Area on Monday. The Giants absolutely need Belt right now, as he has been carrying the team offensively. Belt is in elite company with his power and on-base skills over the last couple of seasons, and his defense is a huge asset as well.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' clutch, thrilling win over the San Diego Padres. LaMonte Wade Jr. delivered another huge hit in the 9th inning, this time to give the Giants a one-run lead that they would hold onto in a dicey bottom of the 9th. Tyler Rogers got the save in place of an injured Jake McGee, but things were not exactly smooth. Brandon Crawford started the inning with a leadoff error, then Rogers fell behind Fernando Tatis Jr. 3-1. Rogers came back to strike out Tatis, and then got Manny Machado to ground into a 112-mph double play, from Brandon Belt to Crawford to Rogers covering the bag. When all was said and done, it was an enormous victory, especially after the Giants fell behind early due to Kevin Gausman having a shaky outing. He allowed three home runs, all on hanging splitters. But with the win, the Giants were able to remain alone in first place, clinging to a one-game lead over the Dodgers with 11 games remaining. Scott Kazmir will start for the Giants tonight, making his first appearance with the team in a number of months. Chadwick Tromp was claimed off waivers by the Braves prior to last night's game.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Do you think Kris Bryant will ultimately re-sign with the Giants? Is he worth a $200M+ contract? With lots of one-year deals, some with options and others without them, how much roster turnover do you think we'll have next season? Specifically which players do you think will come back? Which players do you think may choose to sign elsewhere? Do you see Johnny Cueto making the fourth starter spot and Alex Wood taking the long relief spot for the playoffs? Seems like there is one spot available for Jay Jackson, Jose Quintana, Sammy Long and Cueto with Logan Webb, Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers Jarlin García, Dominic Leone, Tony Watson Zack Littell, José Álvarez, Camilo Doval seeming like locks. Rank the following from most likely to least likely as to the way Joey Bart ultimately departs from the San Francisco Giants organization: a. Release/DFA'd b. Free agency (major league, minor league, other league, i.e. KBO) c. Trade of any form d. Retirement from baseball Does Steven Duggar beat out Alex Dickerson for a postseason spot?

Andy and Grant discuss Friday night's crazy extra inning game against the Braves. Jake McGee placed on the IL. Donovan Solano home run in his return. Gabe Kapler's decision to use Kevin Gausman with no position players left. How the strategy to do this was a risk. Alex Wood's return was a really good sign. And will Kapler manage any differently in the postseason?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. Kevin Gausman and Donovan Solano provided what may have been the Giants' most magical moments of the season to date. Solano tied the game with a pinch-hit homer with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the 9th. Gausman was forced to pinch hit with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th, and he delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly. The Giants won two of three against the Braves, keeping pace with the Dodgers, who won two of three in Cincinnati. Alex Wood came off the COVID-19 IL to make a start on Saturday, and he was brilliant in three innings of work. Johnny Cueto is progressing well and may make a rehab start this week. The Giants have had multiple bullpen games each week for a while, so Wood and Cueto's returns should help a tired 'pen. The Giants have a one-game lead in the NL West with 12 games to play. Ben discusses the Giants' and Dodgers' remaining schedule, and why a wild card game against the Cardinals should not be what the Giants want to see. Don't give Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt a chance to end your season in a one-game playoff.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' lead in the NL West slipping down to one game after back-to-back losses to the Padres. Ben discusses the two teams' remaining schedules and breaks down what went wrong for the Giants in the last two games. Alex Wood's COVID-19 illness has hurt the Giants, as they've had to cover two different spots in the rotation with bullpen games. He should be back on Saturday, and Donovan Solano and Alex Dickerson are also making progress toward a return. Kevin Gausman struggled on Thursday, and Giants pitching allowed 16 runs and 30 hits over the last two games combined.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick is joined by Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes to talk about the state of the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. The duo discuss the Padres' collapse, Yu Darvish's home run problems, and how everyone was wrong about what these two teams would be. The Giants made under-the-radar moves in the offseason and stockpiled a ton of depth, and it has worked out beautifully. Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, and others were great pitching additions (while the Padres' acquisitions of Darvish and Blake Snell haven't gone so great). And the Giants have had star production from veterans like Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, Evan Longoria, and more. Their depth has been a hallmark of their resounding success.

Scott Cullen examines the lineup, rotation, and bullpen for the first team to clinch a playoff spot in MLB this season: the San Francisco Giants!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' win over the Cubs on Friday afternoon. Brandon Belt wore a captain's C on his chest made out of electrical tape, and he went out and delivered one of his best games of the season. Evan Longoria had put the C on Belt's jersey, not expecting him to wear it on the field. Longoria and Belt both hit two-run homers in the 7th inning. It was another successful bullpen game for the Giants, started by Dominic Leone. The strategy has worked pretty well for the Giants of late, and today the 'pen was able to hold the Cubs to one run on two hits all day. Coming up this weekend, the Giants will go with Kevin Gausman and Logan Webb, putting them in great position to potentially clinch a playoff berth and perhaps expand their division lead over the Dodgers, which grew to five games after Friday's win.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' dominant win in Denver. Kevin Gausman was highly effective with a mid-90s fastball, and the offense exploded for four home runs. Darin Ruf, Buster Posey, and Thairo Estrada (twice) went deep in the win. The Giants' bullpen, the subject of much conversation after two bullpen games over the weekend, appears well rested after Gausman went seven, and Caleb Baragar, John Brebbia, and Dominic Leone closed out the win.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The Giants' magic number was reduced to 17, and the playoffs are very much in sight. Logan Webb continued to look like an ace, but Kevin Gausman continued his inconsistent second half and Anthony DeSclafani was hit hard in his first game off the injured list. The Giants' upcoming schedule is a bit daunting, but they've been able to keep winning lately despite playing good teams. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the key performers on the MLB-best San Francisco Giants. Last week he talked about the team numbers that have led to the team's success, and today he describes the individual players who have made such an impact. Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford have had monster seasons worthy of MVP consideration, but what about lesser known players like LaMonte Wade Jr.? What about Mike Yastrzemski? On the pitching side, he discusses Kevin Gausman, Logan Webb, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Johnny Cueto, and more. He also talks about Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers, and others who have made up an extremely underrated Giants bullpen. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned was that the Giants set pinch-hit history with late, dramatic pinch homers by LaMonte Wade Jr. and Donovan Solano. The second thing we learned was that Logan Webb continued his stretch of dominance and has emerged as a front-line starter, and that Kevin Gausman continued to struggle. Finally, we learned that Evan Longoria and Anthony DeSclafani were placed on the IL (Longoria with vaccine side effects), and that the Giants' projected rotation in New York looks shaky.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' win over the Mets, and Kris Bryant's stated desire to stay with the Giants. Bryant said that being with the Giants "feels right," and hinted at his desire to sign an extension, even before he reaches free agency at the end of the season. Ben explores what a Bryant extension might look like, and adds it onto potential deals for Buster Posey, Kevin Gausman, and Brandon Belt. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' 7-2 win and series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. Kevin Gausman started off great, but ended up losing his command in what amounted to another shaky outing. Buster Posey, LaMonte Wade Jr., Brandon Crawford, and Alex Dickerson hit home runs. Prior to the game Johnny Cueto was placed on the IL and Thairo Estrada was recalled. The bullpen tossed four scoreless innings to close out the Giants' league-leading 73rd victory.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The Giants proved they can contend with anyone, winning another series against a top team. Brandon Belt and Tommy La Stella returned to the lineup and made an immediate impact. Kevin Gausman was placed on paternity leave and then reinstated, leading to Aaron Sanchez being DFA'd. Steven Duggar and Thairo Estrada were optioned so the Giants could add pitching depth to the major league roster. The Giants signed Tyler Chatwood, Matt Shoemaker, and Logan Ondrusek to minor league deals. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Christopher Crawford (@crawford_milb) is joined by Jennifer Piacenti (@jenpiacenti) to talk about the players who had their fantasy value improve the most -- and the players who saw their value take a hit -- over the trade deadline. They also look at where they're drafting players in 2022 like Vladimir Guerrrero Jr., Kevin Gausman and Adalberto Mondesi.

We go inside the mind of former Giants reliever George Kontos to find out what it's like for a Major League player at the trade deadline. Kontos goes back to 2016 remembering the Matt Duffy/Matt Moore trade and tackles questions about whether or not the Giants will be active this week. He also analyzes Kevin Gausman as the San Francisco ace looks to return to All Star form.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that LaMonte Wade Jr. is having a breakout season. He hit two more home runs and a double on Sunday, bringing his isolated power up to an elite level. He appears to be the Giants' latest diamond in the rough finding. The second thing we learned is that Kevin Gausman had another bad start, and the Pirates gave the Giants all kinds of problems in this series. Gausman didn't have a feel for his splitter, and this followed a bad start against the Dodgers in his last outing. He'll look to get back on track this week against either Los Angeles or Houston. The third thing we learned was about the health status of a number of Giants. Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper returned after a lengthy absence to call Saturday and Sunday's games. He surprised best friend and fellow broadcaster Mike Krukow in a heartwarming moment that was captured on camera. We also received health updates of Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, Tommy La Stella, Evan Longoria, and Aaron Sanchez, all of whom are relatively close to returning.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the latest with the San Francisco Giants. Prior to the game, Brandon Crawford was placed on the 10-day IL with an oblique strain. Thairo Estrada figures to get everyday playing time at shortstop. Buster Posey and Kevin Gausman returned, and Posey made his presence felt right away with a first-inning two-run homer. Gausman was not sharp, lasting only three innings, but the bullpen picked him up with six shutout frames. The Giants' bats broke through in the seventh, and they went on to beat their rivals and increase their lead in the NL West to two games. They have an 11.5-game lead over a playoff spot.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that the Giants' bats went quiet in St. Louis, and the outfield is becoming an area of concern. Austin Slater, Alex Dickerson, Mike Tauchman, and Steven Duggar are all going through rough patches. Only Mike Yastrzemski has been productive lately. The second thing we learned is that Kevin Gausman was placed on the family medical emergency leave list, as his wife Taylor was hospitalized due to pregnancy complications. Thankfully, Taylor is doing well and Gausman is scheduled to start Monday in Los Angeles. Logan Webb made Gausman's start on Friday, and he continued to throw the ball really well. The final thing we learned was that Tauchman was activated off the IL, Jay Jackson's contract was selected, Jason Vosler was optioned, and Evan Longoria was placed on the 60-day IL. We also received updates on Aaron Sanchez, Reyes Moronta, and Tommy La Stella, all of whom shouldn't be that far off from returning. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's about that time where we take a look back at the first three months of the baseball season and take some inventory. On this week's episode Grey and myself dig into the best surprises of 2021 and its biggest disappointments. We celebrate Vlad Jr., Shohei Ohtani, Jesse Winker, Kevin Gausman's remarkable splitter and a host of others. To Ying this Yang we talk about the disappointing players too! However, we do it while listening to the Whisper Song. We shed tears for Lucas Giolito, Mookie Betts, Juan Soto, and Cody Bellinger. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. Join us on another episode of the Razzball Podcast!

Walker Buehler was dominant -- maybe his most dominant game of the season, including his near no-hitter -- and the offense was able to figure out Kevin Gausman in a way no team has this year. Max Muncy continued his ownership of the Giants with his seventh homer in nine games against them this year, on a night in which fans received a bobblehead celebrating his most famous homer against the Giants. Jeff is here to talk about all of this, plus some general talk about working counts and knocking pitchers out of games. And some final little talk about the accusations against Trevor Bauer and why we're going to wait until we know more to say more.
