Hour 3 - Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group joins Bonta and Lubman on The Roast to reminisce on the greatness of Patrick Willis, as well as provide an update as to why Brandon Aiyuks contract extension has still not been signed. Later, there is a lot to worry and be frustrated about with the Giants.
Farhan Zaidi addressed the media on Tuesday after the trade deadline, and Bonta and Shasky react to what they believe to be anew low for Farhan's tenure with the Giants.
Hour 2 - Farhan Zaidi's message to fans does not resonate, but we have a message for him.
Hour 4 - Shayna Rubin joins The Roast to breakdown how the Giants clubhouse handled the trade deadline. Plus, a big announcement about the Warriors dance team.
We do not hate the Giants. In fact, we love the Giants. We care about the Giants. That is why we get so mad.
Dave Flemming joins The Roast and shares his frustrations with where the Giants are at.
It has been 6 years of Fahran Zaidi and when you look around, it does not feel like the Giants are better off now than they were at the end of 2018.
The Giants moved off of Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson, but also are claiming they do not intend to sell. Which means once again, the Giants are showing no clear direction.
The Giants continue to frustrate fans because they show no real direction.
It does not matter if the Giants are trying to be good. Fans want results, not trying, and the Giants are not providing results.
The Giants have been mired in mediocrity for so long and we cannot take it anymore!
Hour 4 - Shasky cannot wait to discuss what he learned about Pete Rose in the new documentary series that came out on HBO Max. Plus, was Brock Purdy really on board with Tom Brady coming to the 49ers?
The Giants absence from success has had a crippling effect on the Bay Area fanbase and it just has to stop.
Hour 2 - No one cares that the Giants TRIED to win. Fans want results, and the Giants have not been providing them.
Hour 1 - The Giants traded Jorge Soler to the Atlanta Braves just 4 months into a three year deal, leading Giants fans, including Bonta and Shasky, wondering if the Giants have a real direction.
Bonta and Shasky react to the Giants sending Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson to the Braves, and it feels like we have reached the final end of the Farhan Zaidi era.
The MLB Trade deadline is Tuesday at 3pm, and the Giants are 3.5 games back and two games under .500. Can Farhan Zaidi afford to punt on this season?
Hour 4 - The Giants need to stop acting like a small market team and make a big swing at the trade deadline.
Bonta is tired of the Giants acting like the Pirates or White Sox. The Giants are in a big boy market and should operate as such.
The Giants finally look like a healthy team that can maybe make a run, but is it even worth it to try for the playoffs or do the Giants need to take a step back?
Alex Pavlovic and Cole Kuiper break down the impact Austin Slater's departure will have on Luis Matos' playing time, Logan Webb and Heliot Ramos' first MLB All-Star Game selections and the return of Kevin Gausman. Plus, which other veterans could be on the move before the trade deadline?(3:10) Slater traded to the Reds (6:22) Remembering Slater's impact in the Bay Area (12:50) Webb, Ramos selected to NL All-Star roster(18:20) Did Chapman get snubbed?

In this week's episode, Ryan Wormeli and Mike Maher start by giving their initial impressions of Paul Skenes and discussing his rest-of-season (ROS) ranking. Next, they dive into Rafael Devers' hot streak and explore the impact of recent injuries on key players like Xander Bogaerts, Eloy Jimenez, John Means, and Austin Riley. We also debate whether Kyle Tucker should have been in the No. 1 overall pick conversation in our recent redraft. Our “Buy Low, Sell High” segment highlights Maher's favorite buy low candidate, Ha-Seong Kim, and Worm's pick, Francisco Lindor. We also discuss our top sell high candidates, Luis Gil and Andrew Abbott, and why now might be the right time to trade them. In “Waivers Central,” we share our top hitter and pitcher picks from the waiver wire. Maher recommends Davis Schneider and Jeffrey Springs, while Worm suggests adding Luis Matos and Cole Irvin to your roster. Finally, we share what we're most excited for this weekend, including key matchups and players to watch. Maher is looking forward to the Phillies, Jordan Montgomery vs. the Marlins, and Aaron Civale's last stand, while Worm is excited about Kyle Harrison vs. Christian Scott, Kyle Bradish vs. Garrett Crochet, and Ronel Blanco's performance.

Sadie has known Luis Matos for a long time, first meeting him in the Dominican Republic at an orphanage where he lived when he was 10 and she was 9. They really did “grow up like siblings” as Sadie and her family continued to visit the DR as much as they could and now many years later, Luis, his wife Brittany, and their son A.J. live in Louisiana right next to the Robertsons and Luis and Bella just graduated from Liberty University too! Luis shares how for most of his life, he didn't have a birth certificate which prevented him from being able to travel — and get legally married — but he always knew his identity was in Christ. You'll love this conversation and you'll be amazed at the goodness of God as you hear Luis and Brittany's story and always remember: God's timing is perfect! Learn more about your ad choices.
