Listen "312: Are They Good?"
Episode Synopsis
The Giants have gone 14-13 since their 8-1 explosive start. That doesn't sound amazing, but it's still good for the 4th best record in all of baseball. Unfortunately, the NL West has the two best teams in baseball with the Dodgers having won 8 of 9 games and the Padres have won 6 in a row. That said, the Giants are in the best shape at this point in the season since 2021. But...there are concerns. Many hitters are at or below .200. Their offense is average at best, and their starters are also around the average mark. So, why are they "overperforming?" Some of it has to do with their torrid start, but defense and other metrics creep in to alter a few losses to wins. Their expected W/L is only off by one. However, this could catch up in time. Chad and Willie discuss this and review the first quarter of the season and grade all facets of the Giants' game. We also go off on a tangent about Buster Posey's chances for the Hall of Fame in 2027...mostly inspired by Chad's recent visit to Cooperstown.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast
