The Giants did not have a good week and to talk about it we've brought in the estimable Wendy Thurm who writes about MLB on her Substack, Hanging Sliders. Does the concerning play portend a rough season or given that we're just 14 games into the season, is there not plenty of time to turn things around? They also preview the week ahead, discuss the rule changes and how they're impacting the Giants, and what might be Zaidi's biggest issue as the Giants' President of Baseball Operations. And, as a bonus, Bryan and Wendy talk about the time she gave him dating advice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the Chroncast is at it again, but just one last time in 2016. That's right, after this week's episode, you won't have me or Doug to kick around anymore! Joining us this week for an appropriate send-off is Baseball's Grant Brisbee. What's the best course of action for the Giants to take heading into 2017? Do the recent Gold Glove awards make a whole lot of sense? What does it mean that the pitching is good? Who were the top 2 homegrown Giants by OPS last season (without looking it up!). Beyond that, we answer one last round of your always excellent Twitter questions and decide, once and for all, what band reminds Joe Maddon reminds us of the most. Doug and I thank you for listening to and supporting us all season long. We'd also like to thank all of our wonderful guests, from Grant Brisbee to Grant Brisbee, and all the Grant Brisbees in between. Actually -- seriously -- thank you to Jen Mac Ramos, Roger Munter, Wendy Thurm, Reuben Poling, Carmen Kiew, Bryan Srabian, Mike Ferrin, my buddy Joe, Jason Wojciechowski, Dan Szymborski, Goofus, thirteenthirteen, jponry, and kdl for taking time out of your busy schedules to help make this thing a real thing.

Wendy Thurm returns on the penultimate episode of the season to talk about what lies ahead for our favorite baseball team. But we also talk about what exactly went wrong this year and why 2016's weaknesses won't necessarily cause the 2017 season to start from behind. Will new base coaches make a huge difference? Does the "final year" of Johnny Cueto's deal mean the Giants will treat the offseason like a last hurrah? Does the tarnished postseason legacy of Madison Bumgarner portend to, well, anything?

Doug's off this week, so it's Reuben who gets the start. It's our privilege to chat with Wendy Thurm from Sporting News. We cover the week that was -- the Giants nearly no-hit the Dodgers! -- and the week to come -- the Cubs might be so good that their goodness might very well be their undoing! -- and we answer some Twitter questions and consider the state of baseball writing in general. What's worse than being Butt-Ass? Wendy has the perfect answer that you absolutely must hear. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Internet's own Wendy Thurm stops by and talks Giants, but also the Mets, Minions, and your Twitter questions. We also play a new game, "State of the Union", and get an update on our old AAV game. This episode is also now our longest episode. There was some consideration about breaking it into two parts, but I opted not to do that because I'm a big believer in integrity. No DH in the NL, and no separating podcasts into two parts artificially. You could always stop it after a time and then come back to it later. No one's saying you can't do that. The first 45 minutes and the second 45 minutes are equally enjoyable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alan ruminates on the connection between baseball and Hindu mythology, and our lawyer advises us of some new content guidelines in the wake of last week's podcast crackdown by A Certain Professional Sports Organization. We also chat with sportswriter and self-described "recovering lawyer" Wendy Thurm, who has some sharp insights on said crackdown (unlike our lawyer, who mostly communicates via text message). Plus: the shadowy origins of Dr. James Andrews medical practice.

Episode 124 Wendy Thurm, who’s written for FanGraphs since October, is different from most of the site’s writers in terms of the amount of X chromosomes she possesses. Her capacity for providing crack analysis to our electronic pages is very much the same, however. Don’t hesitate to direct pod-related correspondence to @cistulli on Twitter. You […]
