Chad interviewed Pablo Sandoval before the Giants faced the Diamondbacks on September 10. Pablo talks about the difference between this year and 2013, his favorite ball game (hint: it has to do with 3 HRs), and Pablo has NEVER TRIED KALE!

Chad interviewed Hunter Pence before the Giants faced the Diamondbacks on September 10 at AT&T Park. Chad asks Hunter about his gaming and how this year differs with last year. Spoiler: Hunter thought Chad's questions were "weird."

Chad interviewed Jeremy Affeldt before the Giants took on the Diamondbacks on September 10 at AT&T Park. Jeremy talks about the energy in the clubhouse and how this year differs from 2010 and 2012.

Ben and Chad round up the last week that saw Buster Posey win the NL player of the week (.565!!) and Madison Bumgarner earned NL pitcher of the month for August, yet his monthly ERA (1.97) was actually higher than Kershaw's ERA for the year. Yeah, we know who's winning the Cy Young, and maybe even MVP. The Giants had a rough few days in Colorado, but bounced back nicely in Detroit, but because the Dodgers aren't cooling off, they find themselves 3.5 games back after pulling to within 1.5 earlier in the week. The good news is that the Giants have a 3.5 game lead in the wild card, they still have 6 games yet to play against the Dodgers, and Buster Posey found his spinach. We also talk Belt's possible return, Morse's injury, and how Panik and Susac are exceeding all expectations so far. Join us for the recorded stream, a stream while we recorded on the internetz. Don't forget, we now stream all of our podcasts LIVE on YouTube around 9:30 pm PDT every Monday. We will also have clubhouse access this Wednesday and Saturday, so we'll be sure to take our anti-anxiety medication before we ask Hunter Pence how fluffy his shower towel is.

Eric Nathanson (@2outhits) pinch hit to join Chad on Episode 69, which was streamed live on YouTube. We talked about the Giants' 6-1 homestand, the continuation of the May 22 game in Colorado, which the Giants won 4-2 (and that did NOT extend the winning streak, by the way), and the heartbreaking way (6 times this year, in fact) the Rockies exhumed the souls of the Giants once again. Seriously, if the Giants had only won three out of the six games in which they were leading the Rockies, they'd have a one game lead in the NL West right now.

Willie and Chad break down the 13-2 crushing of the Brewers after the game at Zeke's. Chad also talks about his interview with Will Clark before the game (http://torturecast.podomatic.com/entry/2014-08-30T10_55_46-07_00), and the boys break down the Giants chances to make the playoffs down the stretch.

Before the Brewers opened up a three game series with the Giants, Chad was able to sit down with Will Clark for a brief interview. Parallels between the '87 and '89 playoff teams were made with the '10 and '12 teams, he talks about his first at bat against Nolan Ryan, and we discuss the new wildcard format.

This is our first live call-in streaming show, ever! We apologize that Chad's voice is a little soft for half the podcast, and we actually dropped the stream about 10 minutes in, causing mass hysteria as people couldn't listen to us live, but we trudged through and took a couple of calls about the misfortune the Giants have faced over the last 3 games, including the Nats comeback and tonight's inexplicable loss to the woeful Rockies. We'll be doing it live from here on out! Don't forget to call in at 415.799.SFG1 to let us know how sexy you think Crawford's mane is.

We knew this day would come. We finally hit a uniform number that has never graced the back of a single SF Giant.

We'll think of it as Xavier Nady minus 1, or Doug Mirabelli plus 1. Not sure what we'll do about 100+, if we ever get there.

Willie and Chad talk Giants baseball on this off-day that finds the Giants starting a six game road trip to Chicago and Washington, only 3.5 games back of the bums and with a hold on the second wild card spot. Hey, they were further back of the Padres at this point in 2010. Of course, the Dougie was also a popular dance then, so....

We cover the recent series, Morse's hot bat, Panik's hustling pinkie, Matt Cain's season-ending surgery, Belt's troubling concussion (and Sanchez's), Susac, Posey, Pablo, perplexing Timmy, the second base curse, Jimmy Rollins, and what kind of player would manifest with Yaseil Puig's raw talent with Hunter Pence's love and respect for the game.

Also, next week around 9 pm PDT, Monday, August 25, we'll be having our first LIVE CALL IN SHOW and will be streaming it LIVE on YouTube.

Mark it on your calendar, and be sure to call us from your phone and we'll be sure to patch you in, even if you think Michael Morse is a bust this year.

That number is 415-799-SFG1

Again, that number: 415-799-SFG1.

Wait, I only need to repeat it on the podcast, not on this post...

Willie and I were joined by the wonderfully talented internet entrepreneur and Giants fan, Veronica Belmont in the press box for Game 2 against the Dodgers on 7/26/14. Unfortunately for her, she agreed ahead of time to be a guest on our traditional "bonusode" at Zeke's after the game. Our regular favorite, Jen Cosgriff from Bay Sports Net joined us later in the episode as well.

We talk about the game, where the Giants are, our Hearthstone conversation with Hunter Pence during BP, the back-up, back-up, back-up, back-up, back-up second baseman.

Come travel down the path of despair, elation, drink orders, and "FU*& ITs!"
