In Hour 1 of Willard & Dibs, Mark Willard and Dan Dibley break down the San Francisco Giants' 4-3 loss to the Washington Nationals last night.

The Giants took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend, but it should have been a sweep. After clobbering seven homeruns in an 18-3 drubbing of the Cubs in game one, they traded extra-inning wins in the 10th. The second game was painful, as PCA hit the game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth. The Giants offense has exploded over the last 30 days, a stretch where they are the best in the majors for batting average, runs per game, doubles, OPS, and slugging, and second in homeruns. Almost comically, their walk rate still ranked at the bottom of the league. So, why did they have a losing month with such prodigious numbers? Well, many runs and hits were concentrated across just three games, and their pitching took a dive, being at or near the bottom in every statistical category. We'll be back in two weeks!@torturecastwww.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast

The Giants have the third worst 63-game start in franchise history (1902 and 1943) and the worst in San Francisco history at 25-38, tied with the 1985 100-loss and 2017 98-loss teams. Despite the doom and gloom, the offense has come around as of late. Luis Arraez and Jung Hoo Lee have the third (.325) and fourth (.322) best batting averages in baseball, and as a team, are fourth in batting average (.256). They lead the league in doubles and grand slams, and Bryce Eldridge is flirting with .300. Casey Schmidt is looking like an All-Star, smacking his 13th homer (a new career high...in June) today. And, Logan Webb carried a no-hitter into the 7th in a 1-0 victory over the Brewers. That said, how will the Giants sell at the deadline? What can Buster Posey do at this point to improve the DNA of this team, especially as much of the team is now under his mold?www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

It's definitely not Razing Arizona, it's the other way around. The Giants have lost all 6 games against the Diamondbacks this year and 9 in a row, extending from last year. Their record stands at 22-34, the third worst record after 56 games in the 140 years of this franchise, and we are more than one-third into the season. The other Giants teams that were at or below the current record did not finish well. We are absolutely looking at a team that could lose 100 games for only the second time in franchise history. Who's to blame? Do the fans care? Should they break it down and rebuild? These are questions we didn't think we would ask. But, here we are. The TortureCast three break down their opinions of this club and what they should do going forward. www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returns with the May 26 edition of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM pregame.com podcast feed, covering a critical NHL elimination game and a full 13-game MLB slate in one of the busiest betting days of the early summer. On the ice, Griffin explains why he is not buying the Colorado Avalanche as road favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. The Avs fell 5-3 in Game 3 and now trail 3-0, with Nathan MacKinnon's knee injury after blocking a shot adding serious uncertainty to Colorado's roster situation. Cale Makar returned from his own upper-body absence but Griffin says he never looked fully himself, and the backhand goal from Tomas Hertl that extended Vegas's lead was the moment that defined the game. Golden Knights minus 102 is his play. On the baseball side, Griffin works through every matchup on the board, starting with the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli against the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo, leaning Cleveland at minus 130. He covers the Tampa Bay Rays and Griffin Jax against a bullpen game, with former Rays righty Shane Baz, now an Oriole, having pitched well against Tampa recently, and finds value in the under on total first five at plus 100. He leans to Keider Montero and the under in Detroit against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz, backs Boston and Ranger Suarez plus 100 over Spencer Strider and the Braves because Strider still needs to prove his return from elbow surgery is complete, monitors Sandy Alcantara and Miami against the Blue Jays and Braydon Fisher in a bullpen game, and sides with the Mets and David Peterson over the Reds and Chase Burns in a battle where plus money is simply too attractive to ignore. Kyle Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since joining Milwaukee from Boston and Griffin respects him enormously but cannot pay minus 170. He leans under on Cam Schlittler and the Yankees against Kansas City and Bailey Falter after recounting how Lucas Erceg's blown save on a misplaced slider to Anthony Volpe cost him a two-unit win the night before. Joe Ryan and the Twins draw plus money from Sean Burke and the White Sox, making the under on seven and a half the natural lean. The Houston Astros no-hit Texas on Monday and Griffin reads that as a direct statement on how poorly the Rangers have been hitting and how difficult Globe Life Field plays, leaning under against Jack Leiter. Aaron Nola and the Phillies get the nod over Randy Vasquez and the Padres after Vasquez was scratched Monday and slid into Tuesday's spot. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino shape up as a low-scoring Sacramento game, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tyler Mahle figure to keep it quiet at Oracle Park, and there is simply no case for backing Kyle Freeland and the Rockies at plus 206 in Los Angeles against Eric Lauer's Dodger debut. Griffin's Best Bet is the Pittsburgh Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft at minus 125 over the Cubs and Jordan Wicks, who is making his first big-league start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa following a stint on the IL.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back after a Memorial Day reset and come loaded for one of the busiest Tuesdays of the spring. The Knicks swept Cleveland and are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, winning 11 straight in the postseason, but the real conversation is Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals where Oklahoma City hosts San Antonio with the series tied two games apiece. With Jalen Williams questionable and AJ Mitchell already ruled out for the Thunder, the market has slid from five and a half down to four and a half, and both hosts land squarely on the under, pointing to San Antonio's scoring trend through the series, OKC's need to slow the game down with a shorter bench, and the defensive intensity both teams have shown in every game after the first. Munaf drills into the second-half total as his preferred bet and flags De'Aaron Fox's rebounds-plus-assists at 9.5 on FanDuel as a prop worth targeting given what Fox has done in his two healthy games this series. From there the guys go deep on eight MLB games. Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax continues his surprising conversion from reliever to starter when the Rays visit Baltimore to face Shane Baz, a matchup that cuts both ways given each pitcher faced the other team in his immediately prior start. Spencer Strider returns to Fenway with Atlanta against Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox in a game both hosts think favors the Braves early and the over late once both bullpens get involved. Chase Burns takes a never-faced-the-Mets edge into Citi Field against David Peterson with Cincinnati firmly in the NL Central race. Cam Schlittler, who owns a 1.04 road ERA and a .139 opponent average on the road this season, faces Bailey Falter in Kansas City in what becomes Dave's best bet, Yankees first five minus a half run. Munaf's best bet is the Cardinals-Brewers under four and a half in the first five innings with Michael McGreevy and Kyle Harrison both in elite form and zero familiarity working in favor of either offense. Jason Alexander goes for Houston in Arlington the night after the Rangers threw a combined no-hitter, with both hosts liking the Texas team total over. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino bring their home-road split drama to West Sacramento, and Eduardo Rodriguez faces Tyler Mahle at Oracle Park in an over-or-under debate shaped entirely by the park's dimensions and a 22-mile-per-hour wind blowing out.

How are we felling about the way things are being celebrated at Oracle Park this season?

The San Francisco Giants should NEVER rebuild, especially a weekend after the one they just had at Oracle Park, when over 156,000 people attended across four games. Willard and Dibs discuss!

Willie Dills graces the mic to recap the last several series of Giants baseball. This team has been testing our patience, and when they perform well (like, vs LA and Oakland), we think maybe they're coming out of it, but then they fall back into their regular pattern of no offense and soul-crushing endings like last night's 2-out walk off vs Arizona. Willie covers a bit of the trade of Patrick Bailey to the Guardians, Rafael Devers struggles, Adames underperformance, and the fact that Casey Schmitt is the Giants best player. Maybe baseball in the 1880s is more entertaining than Giants baseball right now. They are 6-6 in their last 12, but that's not going to pull them out of their hole in the National League, sitting at 20-29 with the 4th-worst record in MLB. Listen and commiserate with Willie.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Have you ever thought about your dream second act? Something you enjoy doing and you imagine what it would be like to run a fun business where you'd love to be a customer? Most of us wake up the next day and forget about that dream or talk ourselves out of it quick. This month's guest, Pat Belding is actually doing it. In his mid-sixties, he's running Frankie's Sports bar in San Francisco. Quite a change from owning and operating his high tech marketing company. Rather than dealing with Fortune 100 companies like 3M, Cisco and Google, he's behind the bar (managing a team of 20 employees, dealing with food and beverage vendors and keeping the bathrooms clean) while serving San Francisco Giants fans beer, cocktails and great food before and after games. And he's loving it!  Pat is pushing way beyond his comfort zone. Three years ago, with no prior experience in the food and beverage industry, he started helping out at Frankie's, a cool sports bar on the South Beach marina. It's located just a stone's throw away from Oracle Park, where the SF Giants play. Frankie's, originally named the "Java Hut", has a special history--it's the Embarcadero's oldest operating eatery for over a century.  His story is inspirational. Told with humor and humility. A true (un)retirement success story! • More about Pat Belding: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patbelding  • More about Frankie's Sports Bar: https://www.frankiessf.com • Episode Content: https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/pat-belding-interview-operating-a-sports-bar-in-retirement  • Sponsored by Capital Advantage: https://capitaladvantage.com/promotion/retirement-planning-guide  • Sponsored by How to Retire and Not Die Video Series: https://howtoretireandnotdie.com  • Subscribe to the the I Used to be Somebody Newsletter: https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe 

Hutt and Chad dive into the mounting tension at Oracle Park. After a staggering 13-3 loss to the Pirates, Tony Vitello didn't hide behind coach-speak. We break down his viral "What would you do?" response to the fans' boos and discuss whether his blunt transparency is the wake-up call the Giants need or a sign of a locker room on the brink.

The title is vocalized by Chandler's character from "Friends," FYI. Anyway, could they be any worse? Well, the only time they were after 37 games was in 2017...by one game. So, this is their second-worst 37 games start in franchise history. Eric and Chad dive into the desert that is the Giants offense and try to understand what could be causing it. Pitching has been statistically average, but they have had three dramatic late-inning failures in the last week, fueling eight losses in nine games. One one direction they can go: up! Who are we kidding, down is still possible...www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast

In hour 2, Lubman and Shasky discuss Larry Baer's comments on the Giants wanting to acquire land around Oracle Park. Does that bother Giants fans?

PODCAST EPISODE (5/7/2026)Is this the worst Giants offense we've ever seen?The 2026 San Francisco Giants are off to a start so poor it's literally making franchise history for all the wrong reasons. In today's episode, we break down the statistical collapse at Oracle Park and why the "Buster Posey Era" front office is facing its first major crisis.  We're diving deep into the numbers that have San Francisco at the absolute bottom of MLB:Dead Last in Power: With only 22–23 home runs as a team, the Giants are sitting at 30th in MLB.The Run Drought: Dead last in runs scored (114) and shut out an MLB-leading 7 times already—that's once every five games.  The OPS Nightmare: A team OPS of .645 (29th in MLB) and a league-low walk rate are killing any chance of sustained rallies.  The Big Names Sliding: We look at the alarming struggles of Rafael Devers (.571 OPS), Willy Adames (.194 AVG), and why even Patrick Bailey is trending in the wrong direction offensively.  Is there any hope for a turnaround, or is 2026 already a lost cause? We analyze the hitting mechanics, the roster construction, and whether Manager Tony Vitello can find a spark before the NL West lead gets completely out of reach.Topics covered:Historical context: Comparing 2026 to 1883 and 2012.The Rafael Devers trade: One year later, is it a disaster?Willy Adames and the strikeout problem.Bright spots: Luis Arráez and Casey Schmitt.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8oPUQC1bQS1zWJ-e22QBzw/joinHumm Baby Baseball is an all baseball channel that talks baseball in general but also has a focus on the San Francisco Giants.  My name is Erik and if you're interested in appearing on Humm Baby Baseball or doing any kind of collaboration, please e-mail me at hummbabybaseball@gmail.com.  Please visit the HUMM BABY WEBSITE: https://www.hummbabybaseball.comHumm Baby Baseball PODCAST: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1093007San Francisco Giants Blog: https://www.hummbabybaseball.com/sfgiantsI spend anywhere from 3-8 hours every day working on Humm Baby Baseball.. if you enjoy this content, please consider helping me on Patreon.  You can give as little as $1 a month to help grow the brand and give me more time to operate Humm Baby Baseball!  PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/hummbabybaseballFollow HUMM BABY BASEBALL On:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HummBabyBaseballTWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/hummbabybbThanks for checking out this podcast and if you like what you see, subscribe today!Support the show

In this special episode of Cloud Wars Live, Bob Evans sits down with Steve Miranda, Executive Vice President of Applications Development at Oracle, from Oracle Park in San Francisco to discuss one of the biggest shifts happening in enterprise technology: agentic AI applications. Miranda explains how Oracle is moving beyond embedded AI and AI agents to fully agentic applications that can act on business objectives rather than just automate transactions. From finance and supply chain to HR and customer service, he shares how this transformation is changing operations, competitiveness, employee roles, and the very mindset organizations need to succeed in the AI Era. Rise of Agentic Apps The Big Themes: From AI Features to Agentic Applications: Steve Miranda explains that Oracle's AI journey has evolved in three major stages. First, Oracle embedded AI directly into applications to help generate and enhance content, improving the traditional user experience. Next came AI agents — workflow-driven systems capable of handling transaction sequences across ERP, HCM, supply chain, and CX. Now Oracle is introducing agentic applications, which represent a full redesign of enterprise software. These systems allow users to set business objectives rather than manually manage transactions. Instead of handling purchase orders, invoices, or approvals individually, users provide strategic guidance while AI agents execute, monitor, and optimize outcomes. Competitive Advantage Comes from Speed: Miranda stresses that agentic AI is not only about reducing costs through automation — it is about increasing business speed and adaptability. In competitive markets, companies need to react instantly to supply chain disruptions, shifting cash positions, pricing opportunities, and customer demands. Human-driven workflows create delays, while agentic applications can monitor both internal operations and external market conditions in real time. AI can identify early payment discounts, detect supply chain disruptions, or recommend immediate operational adjustments faster than traditional teams. This responsiveness creates a major competitive edge. Companies that adopt agentic applications can operate faster and more efficiently, while those that delay risk falling behind competitors who are able to move at machine speed Oracle's Pricing Philosophy Supports Adoption: Miranda explains that Oracle's pricing philosophy for AI remains intentionally customer-friendly. Core AI improvements — including embedded AI and standard agentic capabilities — are included within existing application subscriptions. Customers subscribing to financials, HCM, supply chain, or other Fusion applications receive these enhancements as part of the normal service evolution, much like database upgrades. Additional charges apply only when customers extend applications further, such as building custom agents or adding specialized workflows through Agent Studio. Those extensions use token-based pricing, which reflects current industry standards for AI usage. This model gives customers both innovation and flexibility: they benefit from improved core functionality without surprise costs, while paying incrementally only when they choose to expand AI into additional areas of the business. The Big Quote: “We're essentially rebuilding our applications from the ground up to make them agentic.” More from Steve Miranda and Oracle: Connect with Steve on LinkedIn or learn more about Oracle AI Agent for Fusion Applications.

The Giants finally had a good week of baseball, winning four of six, including two of three from their arch rival Dodgers. The boys talk about the rivalry, the drama with Daulton Rush, their lack of hitting, but also how their pitching is starting to lock in. They actually looked like a major league club this week. We also figured out that we need to do separate shows about obscure baseball rules and great baseball films. www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast
