In a truly stunning, out-of-left-field event, the Giants traded for slugger Rafael Devers. It really did come out of nowhere, but it's genesis was the discontent that was brewing in Boston after Devers was not being treated like a franchise player, being promised third base, only to have Alex Bregman usurp it. The Giants gave up relatively little as a price for securing Devers for the next 8 1/2 years. This was not a rental, and often 2 month rentals end up costing teams a LOT more than what the Giants gave up. All told, the Giants traded away Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, and two prospects. Even the AAV for Devers is under what the market would bear now and certainly what it will bear in several years. Devers is in the prime of his career at age 28. Buster Posey made this happen, and he is the man right now. Eric, Willie, and Chad discuss this blockbuster and can't find a comp to it in recent Giants history. We are all excited, but if the Giants would just actually perform on the field. After briefly tying the Dodgers for first place in the NL West over the weekend, they have lost 4 in a row and 5 of 6 overall. Let's hope they snap out of it with the help of their new shiny star.@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecasttorturecast.com

This week, i do an archaelogical dig into 160 years of baseball history in Minnesota. In many ways, Minnesota was an early leader in team sports being played before large crowds, when the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes would play native lacrosse games, as far back as the 1600's, long before European settlers arrived. As for baseball, their timeline stretches back to 1857, when citizens from the town of Nininger, establish the first baseball team in state history. Soon after the conclusion of the American Civil War, various teams begin to sprout up in the Land Of 10,000 Lakes, most notably in Minneapolis-St. Paul, as well as many outlier towns like Red Wing, Fairbault, Minnehaha, St. Croix and Hastings, riding the wave of the young sport's growth and popularity. 160 years later, the region's baseball history continues to be written by the Minnesota Twins, who bring the Major League brand to the state in 1961, after Calvin Griffith and the Washington Senators relocate to the Twin-Cities. I also present the history and construction of their current Home ballpark. Target Field, which stands as a testament to the Twins vision of providing a cathedral, that is not only on the cutting edge of baseball stadium aesthetics and functionality, but also for sustainable practices. Demonstrating a commitment to enviromental responsibility, and providing an inspiration to the Twins fans, to be champions for the very planet that sustains us all. #NinningerNine #NorthStarBaseBallClub #IgnatiusDonnelly #CaptainRolinOllin #VermillionClubOfHastings #MinneapolisNine #RedWingCrescentClub #SaxonNine #OlympicNine #BanJohnson #CharlesComiskey #LexingtonPark #AthleticPark #NicolletPark #MetropolitanStadium #HubertHumphreyMetroDome #TargetField #RodCarew #HarmonKillebrew #MudcatGrant #TonyOliva #LymonBostick #KentHrbek #KirbyPucket #JoeMauer #MikeKelly

Walter starts by telling us about the majesty of Red Panda before we even getting into the NBA Finals. Yes, we are talking about Red Panda. Should we start a kickstarter to get her on the show? Of course we talk about the carnage at Oakmont and wonder if the argument over who is going to CVS at 3AM continued even after Spaun won the Open. Then Wally starts talking documentaries and Jeff and Bob talk movies, which we use to find Walter's blind spot - Major League.

Send us a textAs a father and son doing a podcast we're keenly aware of the bond that baseball can bring to a family.  We loved talking with a real live recent (and possibly future) MLB player and his father about their relationship and journeys in baseball.  What's it like playing #MLB today?  How hard is it to hit today's pitchers and get out Major League hitters?  John Sr. is on a book tour with his latest release "Diamond Duels" which we recommend highly. He's also written "Last Time Out" and a non-baseball book "Nashua" which is where he hailed from but it' not about his childhood. Jr. grew up in Tallahassee and always wanted to be a baseball player for Florida State and he did that and so much more - while his Dad covered the team for the local paper. They go by 'Nogo' and the 'Big Nogowski' thing is fun and done for a charity which John Jr. relates. Father's Day and baseball - they go together so well! Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

It's in the title. The Giants are on a 7-game winning streak, bookended with our recording of 315 during game 1 of the streak and tonight's recording of 316 during the 7th game of the streak. They're just 1/2 game back of LA and if they complete the sweep of the Rockies tomorrow, the Giants will go into Chavez Ravine tied for first. This incredible streak started with six consecutive one-run wins and eight consecutive one-run games overall, both franchise records. They haven't lost since Buster Posey shook up the roster, DFA'ing LaMonte Wade Jr. and calling in some journeymen. Although the new guys haven't contributed much statistically speaking, something has happened to their ability to come back and hold on to tight games, get knocks in clutch situations in between droughts of hits. Some may call it a lucky streak, but it also shows the strength of the pitching staff and their resolve. Either way, wins are wins, and the Giants are hot. Let's hope it continues. Oh, and the pope was seen today wearing a White Sox hat, so that was cool.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Gu & Nick Friar draft fake baseball players from movies, TV shows & video games!Who drafted the best team?  Were there any reaches?  Are we dumb?Join the conversation on social media - @MACandGUpodcast

Jac Caglianone made his Major League debut, to the joy of Royals fans everywhere. So what comes next?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss all things Caglianone and more!- Reaction to Caglianone's debut.- Expectations for the rest of the season with Jac.- Where to bat Cags?- How does the rest of the team fit around Jac?- What a World Series Royals lineup looks like.- Should the Royals lock up Caglianone?- What's the Pitching Rotation look like with Ragans back?- Bullpen Injury concerns.

It must have been somewhat depressing or bittersweet for Buster Posey to make the decision to DFA LaMonte Wade Jr., a consistent player in this lineup that suited up with Posey for the 2021 season when they both performed well and won the NL West as teammates. Yet, it was a move they had to make. The Giants ranked last or near last in all offensive categories at first base. It also serves as a wake-up call for other players that are underperforming this year. The Giants also DFA catcher Sam Huff, which is a little puzzling considering he was the NL Pitcher of the Month's (Robbie Ray) main backstop and brought up two journeymen from Sacramento and signed another free agent journeyman. The Giants were in an incredible streak of 16 games of scoring 4 runs or less, averaging only 2 during that streak, yet their team ERA was an unbelievable 1.77, making them a competitive 7-9. The moves worked, at least for game one, as the Giants roared back from a 5-0 deficit to clip the Padres 6-5 after two heart-wrenching extra-inning losses to their southern rivals. Eric and Chad break it down and even bring in some baseball superstitions that the Giants may want to consider going forward.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

   Jac Caglianone made his Major League debut and he looked the part even though he went 0-5.  The Royals also had their biggest comeback of the year.  It happened on a day where lawmakers in Jeff City made progress to getting money for the teams to stay in Missouri but didn't like the answer from team lobbyists when they asked for a commitment.    Bill Self believes he has a big advantage over other programs with the hiring of Jacque Vaughn.  Former pitcher Trevor Bauer wins another case against one of his false accusers after she breaks their agreement from 2023.    ICE has picked up the wife and five kids of the worst illegal alien terrorist of all time... the bare chested dude in Colorado.    Elon Musk is really, really mad at the Big, Beautiful Bill even as Trump defends it.  It may not be a leap to say an MSNBC Host has said the dumbest thing of all time.   Murder rates are down in America's cities but up in KC.  And another City Hall employee is filing a suit against Mayor Q's regime.

Joe Ostrowski and Sam Panayotovich woke up excited for the Major League debut of Jac Caglianone, and discuss all of their excitement for the youngster they think will be the Rookie of the Year. Plus, the Rockies hit double digit wins, and another wild night of College Baseball action. Next, we break down all of the best ways to bet on Caglianone in his debut and the best social media responses to Caglianone mania hitting our show. The hour wraps with Alex Gold of 95.6 The Fan in Kansas City stopping by, to discuss what we should expect in the debut of Cags.

Will Flemming and Lou Merloni join Hart, Fitzy. and Ted to discuss the state of the Red Sox. Lou thinks you cannot trade Jarren Duran for anything besides Major League ready talent. Young guys can't carry this team. Do Will and Lou think the team can turn it around this season?

Hart thinks the Women's College World Series is electric, Fitzy thinks the Patriots have to move on from Diggs if he makes another mistake, and Dan thinks the Red Sox need to wait to call up Roman Anthony until they fix their mess at the Major League level.

Carlton Fisk will probably always be most notably be remembered for his game-winning home-run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, but it would be his durability over the long haul, that would cement his Hall Of Fame resume. The 11 time All Star would become known for his in-your-face intensity. his ability to handle pitchers, and his incredible work ethic. He would go onto have a long and colorful 24 year Major League career. This week we follow the journey of this pugnacious backstop from his humble beginnings as farmboy growing up in Charlestown, New Hampshire, dreaming of one day playing basketball for his hometwon Boston Celtics, to becoming a catcher who's longevity and durability would help him rewrite the record books, at his position, in his image. #CarltonFisk #Pudge #BellowsFallsVermont #CharlestownNewHampshire #CecilFisk #LeonaFisk #ConradFisk #CalvinFisk #CedricFisk #JanetFisk #JuneFisk #LindaFoust #BillLee #RalphSivia #DarrellJohnson #BostonRedSox #ChicagoWhiteSox #DwightEvans #TomPaciorek #ThurmanMunson #GraigNettles #FenwayPark #ComiskeyPark

This week we follow the journey of this pugnacious backstop from his humble beginnings as farmboy growing up in Charlestown, New Hampshire, dreaming of one day playing basketball for his hometwon Boston Celtics, to becoming a catcher who's longevity and durability would help him rewrite the record books, at his position, in his image. #CarltonFisk #Pudge #BellowsFallsVermont #CharlestownNewHampshire #CecilFisk #LeonaFisk #ConradFisk #CalvinFisk #CedricFisk #JanetFisk #JuneFisk #LindaFoust #BillLee #RalphSivia #DarrellJohnson #BostonRedSox #ChicagoWhiteSox #DwightEvans #TomPaciorek #ThurmanMunson #GraigNettles #FenwayPark #ComiskeyPark

We are one-third of the way through the season, and it's episode 314. So, pi. Anyhoo...we are beginning to fear that the Giants are whom they've been the last few years, aside from the outlier of the 8-1 start. Since then, they've been mediocre. They're bullpen is the best in baseball, by a lot, but starting has been middle of the pack (aside from Ray and Webb), and their biggest problem is their anemic offense. Only five Giants are hitting above .250, and the rest of the team is below .225. They are in the lower quarter in most offensive stats. The spunk they showed with comeback wins earlier in the year seems to have vacated the bench. The Giants have re-settled on Doval as their closer, Birdsong is in for Hicks, and Harrison is temporarily in for Verlander as he nurses his right pec. Posey said they will mix in more at first base to help the struggling Wade, but Bailey IS their catcher, and Adames is "a dude," so don't expect any changes there.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast

Why pitching through mistakes is vital to development in our modern day pitcher

Chris Lee and Alfred Ezman preview the Hattiesburg Regional in the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament, which features Southern Miss, Alabama, Miami (Florida) and Columbia. Southern Miss has one of the best pitchers in the country (and a potential Major League starter) in ace JB Middleton, as well as a bevy of other talented arms in closer Colby Allen and Matt Adams. The Golden Eagles bashed 97 home runs, 19 coming from Sun Belt Player of the Year Nick Monistere as well as 17 from first baseman Matthew Russo and 15 from right fielder Carson Paetow. It's a complete team that'll be a tough out in its own regional. But Alabama has big-time talent, too, in potential 2025 first-round righty Riley Quick, another talented starter in lefty Zane Adams and a good back-end-of-the-bullpen in closer Carson Ozmer and Braylon Myers. The Crimson Tide also feature shortstop Justin Lebron (the potential first pick in the 2026 draft) and All-SEC left fielder Kade Snell, plus, a Miami transfer in third baseman Jason Torres. The Crimson Tide had host-worthy metrics and now get the opportunity to prove they were snubbed as a host. Miami got 16 home runs from third baseman Daniel Cuvet throughout a balanced lineup. The Hurricanes' fate could rest on the shoulders of starters Griffin Hugus and AJ Ciscar, who could pitch the opening two games. Columbia put up big offensive numbers, slugging .508 as a team with Sam Miller (16 home runs) and Anton Lazits (12) leading the way. But the Lions struggled on the mound and will need great efforts from starting pitchers Joe Sheets and Thomas Santana to get out of the regional.
