...they pull us back in. Yes, we are all Al Pacino. The Giants have suddenly forgotten how to lose. In fact, they've only lost one of their last 11 games and suddenly find themselves two games above .500 and four games back of the Mets for the third wild card with 22 games to play. We are still in snowball's-chance-in-hell territory, but it's better than last week and the week before that. This remarkable surge has been powered by the long ball with the Giants homering in 17 straight games (and counting), breaking the SF record. The NY Giants record is 19. During that streak, they've hit 36 of their 150 homers which is 24%...in just over two weeks! Willie Adames hit four bombs this week and is only four away from 30 and would become the first Giant to do so since Barry Bonds. Devers hit five this week (including a HR trot that technically lasted an MLB-record 8+ minutes!) and has 30, 15 with each Boston and SF. Chad and Eric chat about this surge, talk about their realistic chances for making the playoffs, and reveal that they will be at Chase Field on September 15 and 16 to watch the Giants take on the Diamondbacks. We'll even resurrect the bonusode!www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecastinstagram.com/torturecasttorturecast@gmail.com

We have been so excited to bring you the ringmaster behind one of the biggest phenomenons the sporting world has ever seen, Jesse Cole, the mind behind the Savannah Bananas. Now, this might not be your grandad's style of baseball but trust me when I say, these guys can just flat out play. Don't believe us? Well go to one of their sold out "shows" and you tell us what you think. They have been traveling across Major League stadiums all this year bringing the athleticism, comedy and bits to young and old from near and from far.

Payton Tolle looked like the real deal last Friday against Paul Skenes. How good can he be moving forward? Why did the Patriots release Jabrill Peppers?

At the height of his powers, Reggie Jackson was a box-office spectacle, who's on-field exploits were matched by his larger than life personality, and his fearless ability to speak his truth to power. Whether you watched him strikeout, a record setting 2,597 times, or watched him hit one of his 563 home runs, fans and haters alike, couldn't take their eyes off of him, as he was surely one player worth the price of admission. His complex profile study, is but an evolutionary link in the chain of black baseball players that have performed on the Major League level. Unlike many of the black players that came before him, who kept their heads down and played the game with a quiet grace, Reggie was outspoken, brazen and arrogant. He played with a chip on his shoulder, and he is one of the few professional athletes who could produce at a high level, while playing angry. #ReginaldMartinezJackson #MartinezJackson #MrOctober #OaklandAthletics #CharlesOFinley #RollieFingers #SalBando #JoeRudi #BaltimoreOrioles #NewYorkYankees #GeorgeSteinbrenner #BillyMartin #ThurmanMunson #CaliforniaAngels #JohnMcNamera #ReggieBar

Send us a textIn this week's episode of The Wall Street Skinny, Kristen and Jen return to one of their favorite formats: dissecting the finance lessons hidden inside pop culture. This time, they take on Moneyball, a Michael Lewis classic that at first glance looks like a baseball story, but in reality is a masterclass in statistics, valuation, and market inefficiencies. Far more than just a sports narrative, Moneyball is about how disciplined analysis and data-driven decision-making can disrupt entrenched orthodoxy, whether on Wall Street or on the baseball field.Kristen and Jen break down how Billy Beane transformed the Oakland A's into one of the most competitive teams in baseball despite having one of the smallest budgets. From identifying undervalued assets (players) through on-base percentage and walks, to gaming the draft system with the savvy of a hedge fund trader, the discussion highlights how Beane's approach mirrors the strategies of top portfolio managers. The episode draws explicit parallels between constructing a winning baseball roster and building a resilient investment portfolio, making it essential listening for anyone serious about finance.The conversation also zooms out to compare the economics of MLB with the NFL and NBA, where league structures, revenue sharing, and salary caps create vastly different financial dynamics. Along the way, the hosts spotlight themes of efficiency, market psychology, and the importance of independent thinking in both sports and investing. It's the perfect prelude to next week's special episode featuring one of the greatest Major League players of all time.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

Despite dominating the majors at a young age, Pirates ace Paul Skenes has his sights set even higher. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

Marc "Moose" Malusis's "Call of the Day" focused on the highly anticipated Major League debut of Mets' pitching prospect Jonah Tong. While Moose expressed optimism, rooting for a brilliant start to add "more energy" to the team, Hoff took a more cynical and fiery approach. Hoff predicted that Tong would struggle, arguing that "disaster always plays better" in sports radio and that it's unrealistic to expect Tong to replicate the stellar debut of fellow rookie Nolan McLean. He boldly forecasted a rough outing for the young pitcher, predicting a line of four and a third innings, four runs, and three walks.

Major League Table Tennis is opening its third season this September 5th at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. And one decorated Bay Area athlete is helping lead the charge for the sport to be taken seriously. 

Just when they had us down, they sweep us back into their arms. Well, maybe not quite yet, but the Giants have quietly put together a 4 game winning streak and are 3 games under .500. Their offense is finally clicking, and they've even homered in 10 straight games. Devers went off tonight in game 2 of their series against the Cubs, going 4-4 with 2 bombs, a double, and 5 RBI....right after I put in the notes about his poor splits in SF vs BOS. He raised his OPS by 50 points with the Giants in ONE game! Eric and Chad chat about the good week in Giants baseball, and look towards a favorable September schedule, where the Giants will play 6 games against the Dodgers, the only winning team in their last 29 games. Now, we're not saying they are going to sneak back into playoff relevance, but we are saying if you were to line up the possibility, this would be the way to do it. We review who's hot and not, injuries, and even talk about Big Dumper and the Freak for a spell.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecasthttps://www.instagram.com/torturecast/

Swing for the Fences: A Deep Dive into Bull DurhamWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell as they welcome special guest Nate McWhortor—a self-proclaimed superfan—to discuss the 1988 baseball romance Bull Durham. This isn't your typical sports movie; it's a sultry, quotable journey through minor league baseball that explores love, mentorship, and the religion of America's pastime.The Church of BaseballThe hosts dive deep into what makes Bull Durham unique among sports films. Unlike major league fantasies, this movie captures the gritty reality of minor league baseball—from shitty buses to $20,000 salaries. Guest Nate McWhortor brings real-world perspective, having worked for the Montgomery Biscuits after college, inspired by this very film. The discussion reveals how writer-director Ron Shelton's own minor league experience creates authentic moments that resonate with anyone who's lived the unglamorous side of professional sports.The trio explores the film's adult themes and memorable dialogue, from Kevin Costner's gruff wisdom as Crash Davis to Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy—a poetry-loving baseball groupie who mentors young players. They analyze the unique love triangle that develops and how the film balances romance with genuine baseball storytelling. The conversation touches on everything from the film's hard R rating to its Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.Key Discussion Points:The authenticity of minor league baseball portrayal and its impact on small communitiesKevin Costner's evolution from leading man to "grumpy Costner" in this breakout roleThe film's adult themes and quotable dialogue that baseball fans still use todayHow Bull Durham differs from other 80s baseball movies like Major League and Field of DreamsThe unique perspective of having a female narrator in a male-dominated sports genreFinal VerdictThe hosts deliver their "garter ratings" with Nate giving his favorite film a perfect 10/10, while Krissy and Nathan both land on a respectable 7/10. Despite some pacing issues in the final act, everyone agrees the film holds up as both a baseball movie and a romance, though they warn it's definitely not for young viewers despite its quotable nature.Connect with the ShowDiscover more episodes and get early, ad-free access plus bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.

Melton discusses his transition from a starting role to the bullpen and how he has approached every appearance. How does his confidence help him through outings? What makes his mentality fit so well with this Tigers pitching staff? How does a younger pitcher balance emotion?

How did he learn to adjust to a new position and new roles? What valuable lessons did he learn at SDSU about keeping his composure on the mound? How do you separate being a fan vs being a player?

We came up with this title at the end of this episode. If you're brave enough to listen to the end, you'll understand why. But seriously, the Giants have lost 15 of 17 at home and are no where close to orbiting the playoffs. They would have been if they had just played 7-10 in that stretch. They went 2-4 for the week and are now a solid 5 games under .500. So, what are we looking for? Good coaching, quality ABs, playing time for the younger players and prospects, less mental mistakes on the field, anything to give us a glimmer of hope for surging back to .500 and something to build upon for 2026. We also discuss the minor controversy of Heliot Ramos' statement about fans, and wonder if players really tell the truth about things that happen out of the view of reporters and fans alike. One thing is clear, the players have Bob Melvin's back, despite the ire that he has drawn from some of the fan base. We also talk about who's hot, who's not, and that we really don't miss Camilo Doval, and you're welcome, Yankees fans. Have fun with him!www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecasthttps://www.instagram.com/torturecast/

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. The guys had Jason react to the Bubba Chandler promotion and beginning his Major League career out of the bullpen. Jason described the reasoning behind letting Chandler pitch in a relief role before starting. Is there a sense that Andrew McCutchen is not a fan of Ben Cherington? Jason mentioned Cutch may not be doing himself any favors by ripping Bob Nutting a little bit. Do we think the decision has always been made on Cherington's future with about a month to go in the season? The guys asked Jason about some comments made by Tommy Pham off the cuff.

With multiple WR trades taking place in the last 24 hours – and a third if you go back 72 hours, should the Steelers be active in the market? A new name has risen up – Alec Pierce from the Colts. Pierce could be on his way out in a pretty crowded room in Indy. If it took a 4th round pick or a 4th round pick and a middling player, would you make the deal for the guy that led the league in yards per reception last season? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob thinks the Steelers could go into the season with the WR room as it is, but isn't ruling out Omar Khan making a move as roster cuts take place. Pomp said he wanted to see the combo of DK Metcalf and George Pickens this season, but it wasn't meant to be. Would Alec Pierce be a good fit in Pittsburgh? Bob speculated how much of the starters we would see tonight, including the potential first look at Jalen Ramsey in a Steelers uniform. Who is getting cut? Bob thinks Connor Heyward is on the bubble, but expects the team to find a spot for him. Bob talked about some of the intriguing battles that will conclude soon. Will Kaleb Johnson be on the field at the same time as the starting offensive line tonight? The guys asked Bob about preparation for the preseason games. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show.

Red Sox play-by-play broadcaster Will Flemming joins Jones and Keefe on day one of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon. Will thinks the Red Sox low leverage relievers need to be better. He also thinks Garrett Crochet can win the Cy Young award this season, and prospects like Payton Tolle could help the Major League team this season.

The brushback pitch has been a part of baseball since the turn of the Century… the one 125 years ago! The Big Train Walter Johnson hit over 200 batters in his Hall of Fame career… 50 years later, Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale were infamous for drilling guys either on purpose or just having one “get away” as they came inside. It's a part of the game, and sometimes, it has catastrophic results. In 1975, Sports Illustrated did a piece on the “beanball” and recounted the story of the only player in MLB history to die from being struck in the head by a pitch… In 1920 Ray Chapman was hit by a Carl Mays pitch and 12 hours later died as a result. The sound of the ball striking Chapman's skull was so loud that Mays thought it had hit the end of Chapman's bat; he fielded the ball and threw to first base. Now imagine you've worked the better part of your life trying to get to the big leagues. Countless batting cages and practices… until you secure a full scholarship to play at a top school, like North Carolina, where you are named All-Conference in 2002. A few months later you get one step closer to fulfilling your dream when the Chicago Cubs take you in the 9th round of the MLB Draft. For three years, you play minor league ball… Lansing, Daytona, West Tennessee and finally Iowa… the Cubs triple a-team… and then on July 7, 2005, the call is made… Adam Greenberg is a Major Leaguer. Two nights later, in the 9th inning of a game against the Marlins in Miami, Dusty Baker summons Greenberg to pinch-hit. He confidently takes the bat he's been holding onto all game, puts on a helmet and strides to the plate for his first major league at bat. Valerio de los Santos goes into his windup… and less than a half second later… it's all over. The pitch hit Adam in the back of his head just under the helmet he had just placed on his head for the first time. He crumbled to the ground with a fractured skull and while on the ground told himself, “Stay alive. Stay alive. Stay alive.”  He did stay alive, but his Major League career was over. In a flash, all Greenberg had spent his entire life preparing for was gone. The life he had planned… over. He wouldn't give up easily, playing in the minors for a half dozen years and being a member of Team Israel in the WBC in 2013. And as it was, his major league career wasn't officially in the books just yet… the Marlins had other plans.  An online petition by a fan picked up steam and in October of 2012, the Marlins signed Greenberg to a 1-day contract… he was getting another at bat… Cy Young pitcher RA Dickey said he was going to treat him like the Major Leaguer Greenberg was, and three pitches later, the knuckleballer had struck him out. The greatest strikeout of all-time. The author of “Get Up: The Art of Perseverance”, Greenberg joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast and recounts as best he can what took place in that first at bat… he tells us how when he was on the ground they asked him questions like “Do you know where you were two days ago?” and Adam said reflexively, “In the minors… and I'm not going back!” It's a story of courage and determination about a kid who did get up, and stayed alive and battled his way back into the box.  In an instant Adam Greenberg's best moment of his life became the worst moment of his life. And yet 20 years later, he refers to it as “The Gift”. You have to hear the full story to know he actually means it. Listen and download wherever you get your podcasts.

Journalist Will Bardenwerper joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new book, Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America, which explores the consequences of Major League Baseball cutting 40 affiliated minor league teams, each one only as expensive as an average Major League salary. He explains how the accessibility and affordability of minor league baseball has made it a unique gathering point for working-class communities like the one in Batavia, New York, where Bardenwerper followed the local team, the Muckdogs, for a season. He celebrates the traditions and resilience of the Muckdogs fans and owners, who revived the team after it was eliminated as a minor league franchise. He also reads from Homestand.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).
