After an impressive 8-1 start to the season, the Giants have come back to Earth, going 17-18 since and have lost 5 of their last 6. That said, they are only 4 games out of first and hold the final wild card spot, the path that seems most likely for their entry into the postseason. They lost 4 of those 5 games by just one run, and the other by two. They are not getting crushed...just missing. One of the reasons is Jordan Hicks, who has compiled a 6.55 ERA this year and a .293 batting avg against. It's not just this year...over his last 9 starts last year, he had a 6.44 ERA and his BAA was over .300. We think those 18 starts is a sufficient sample size, and maybe his time as a starter should end. Options? Birdsong first, Harrison next. We also critique LaMonte Wade, Jr. and his anemic offensive stats and hitting metrics. He's just cold. And his defense ain't cutting it, unlike Patrick Bailey's. We chat about how to potentially solve these issues, and Eric has some important and heartfelt words at the end of the episode, so don't miss that.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Kenton Elmore is a Cardinals fan from Champaign, IL. Despite being a self-described casual fan, last year Kenton accomplished something most diehards only dream of—visiting all 30 Major League ballparks in one season.Kenton shares how a single idea sparked a months-long adventure across the country, complete with 30 ballpark visits, remote work, and a few surprise lessons along the way. We talk about how he mapped out the trip, what he learned about himself during the journey, and which parks made the biggest impression.Find Kenton Online:  Substack: 30bagger.substack.comFind Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.comJoin us in June of 2025 for the Alaska Midnight Sun Game!

Jamar Hill is a coach now, but before that, he was a pro baseball player in the Mets organization. He grew up in Anchorage, where playing baseball wasn't always easy: limited facilities, long winters and not much opportunity to play year-round. He says that in Alaska, you get about a quarter of the playing time compared to other places. But in a way, that made him love the game even more. As a kid, he followed the Alaska Baseball League, one of the best summer leagues in the country. It brought in top talent every year — future first-round draft picks — and watching those games gave him an early sense of how the baseball world worked. By the time he was 16, most of the teams he played on included at least one future Major League player. And by the end of high school, he was drafted by the Mets. He became one of their top power prospects — a lefty bat who hit right-handed pitching especially well. He went on to hit over 100 professional home runs. But beyond the stats, it was his early exposure to high-level talent, and his ability to adapt, that shaped his perspective. That perspective is still with him today — as a coach, a mentor and someone who's all about creating opportunities for the next generation. Today, Jamar is focused on giving back to the community that raised him. As a youth coach and founder of RBI Alaska, he's spent the last 10 years helping young athletes grow — as players and as people. He's currently leading the development of the Mountain View Field House, a year-round indoor training facility that will give local kids access to the kind of resources he didn't have growing up. For him, coaching isn't just about skill development, it's about building character, creating opportunity and showing kids that their environment doesn't have to limit their ambition. He mentors with intention, using his own experiences in professional baseball to help young players navigate the mental, emotional and physical sides of the game. Through that work, he's helping shape confident, resilient athletes who are prepared for whatever comes next, on the field or off.

“Blind baseball - it's like the great equaliser. I've found the experience of playing the adaptive sports just as fulfilling, motivating, and frankly competitive as the sports I played as a sighted person growing up.” Our guest on Outlook this week was used to adversity in life, having faced both grief and treatment of a serious chronic illness as a teenager. When Zach Ship was newly blind, years later, he was wished a “Happy Disability Pride Month” by The Lighthouse Guild and he didn't believe there was much to be proud of though he soon learned otherwise. Zach explains to us some of the rules of blind baseball and about what it meant to him when he discovered the sport, in its adaptive form, which gave him something back of the years playing sports like baseball competitively. So when he heard a documentary on the blind baseball team was being made, he was thrilled others might see what blind baseball (difficult to imagine for so many) is like.. So from our friendly cross-border Major League team rivalry to the support group and club we three are all a part of/considering starting, Ship has been through everything( from acute/sudden and unexpected health situations/acquired disability to the loss of a parent at a young age) and shares some of the lessons on the possibilities of adaptation and the power of community. “No way of reacting is right or wrong, but focusing on what things we do still have, the things you can still enjoy. Even if it's just you can eat this delicious meal or you can feel the sun on your face. It could be small things or it could be big things, always keeping that very very close in mind is critical.” We first heard Zach Ship on “It Happened to Me, A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast - It happened to me. I'm not alone and neither are you.” This is the message he both benefited from thanks to others, in his own journey, but also the message he believes as he's become a disability advocate now himself.

   We have multiple lead stories today as the man arrested for bombing the Tesla dealership in KC is released from custody by a US judge in Boston and this is about to become a big national story.  Wait until you hear why this terrorist is back living with his parents.    In a shocking story, we learn John Elway was driving a golf cart Saturday in Palm Springs at a music festival when his friend and agent fell off and hit his head.  This story was unknown for four days... until Elway's friend died.  Now the Sheriff is investigating the incident.    A veteran pollster is in shock over the loyalty of Trump voters but I'm not.  It seems most of us put our country ahead of our own personal situation.  Of course we do.    Noah Cameron from St. Joseph made his Major League debut against the Rays and pitched a no-hitter into the 7th inning.  This is a great, great story but has a bit of a catch to it.   In Pittsburgh, a fan flips over a rail and falls. .  The fan is currently fighting for his life after earlier reports at the time of recording the podcast he had died.   A  former Patriots player thinks UNC should fire Bill Belichick, the Savannah Bananas are coming to KC and the Atlanta Falcons are fined for the Shedeur Sanders fiasco.

James Patry is a lifelong Red Sox fan from New Hampshire who is closing in on his goal of visiting all 30 Major League ballparks.

James and Anna reflect on the unique energy of ballpark crowds, the characters in the cheap seats, and how baseball helps us explore the country and connect more deeply.Find Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.comJoin us in June of 2025 for the Alaska Midnight Sun Game!

Rogers Hornsby won seven batting titles, hit .358 in his 23-year Major League career and remains the all-time batting average leader both among right handed hitters and in the National League.

The Nats earned their first victory of the season on Sunday as they defeated the Phillies 5-1.  Mark & Al have plenty of positives to run through and begin with Mitchell Parker, who continued the good starting pitching to begin the Washington season.  Parker pitched into the 7th and didnt allow any runs.(10:00) The two Nationals homers on Sunday came from new additions to the lineup in Josh Bell & Nathaniel Lowe.  The team combined for six home runs in the opening series.(13:45) Paul DeJong came through with a trio of hits, two of which were doubles.  DeJong entered the day without a hit through two games while starting at 3B.(19:40) Keibert Ruiz caught all three game this series and hit cleanup in the order.(22:05) The bullpen only gave up one run, but it sure made things interesting in the top of the 9th.  Brad Lord made his Major League debut in the final frame, which came across as a curious decision. Kyle Finnegan came in for Lord to preserve the win in just five pitches.(29:00) The Nats begin their first road trip of the season on Monday when they open a three game set in Toronto with Michael Soroka making his franchise debut on the mound.
