00:00But I'll run through these.
00:01I'll throw one out, and you tell me if it's on your list.
00:03Oh, you want to do it like Family Feud?
00:05A little bit, yeah.
00:06Okay, so these are the top 10 worst things that have happened to the Giants this year.
00:11And I don't want to phrase that in a way of, like, they're not, you know, to be blamed.
00:15Like, no, a lot of these are their fault when I say that they happened to them.
00:19But just the top 10 worst things that have happened with the Giants this year.
00:25So go ahead.
00:25I'm just trying to run through my mind, and I scribbled a quick six.
00:28And so just let me know if these are on there.
00:30And there probably are some that I forgot.
00:32The first one.
00:33Do I need a pen?
00:34I don't have a, here, here, I got a pen.
00:35Yep, you got a pen.
00:36All right, just thinking about the worst things that have happened with this Giants season.
00:40All right.
00:40The Devers finger wag is one that sprung to mind.
00:43The Devers finger wag at Jonah Cox and not wanting to come out of the game.
00:51Ding, that is number two.
00:53The number two answer on the board.
00:55Raffi Devers shoes Jonah Cox.
01:00Indeed, that is number two.
01:02I love it.
01:02Okay, green check.
01:04I have Adamus loses track of the outs.
01:06Okay.
01:07Chatting with Mookie Betts.
01:08Ding, that is number five on the board.
01:11Although there's a little addition to it if you want.
01:14Okay.
01:14Adamus forgets how many outs there are, slash Bericotto forgets how many outs there are.
01:22Adamus, the much more famous version of it, but he was not the only Giant to forget how many outs
01:28there were on the base paths this year.
01:30Don't forget Victor Bericotto.
01:33Okay.
01:34Very good.
01:34Number five.
01:35The Pride Night fiasco.
01:38And, you know, that's got to be on there.
01:42Number one.
01:43Okay.
01:43Yeah.
01:44All right.
01:44Pride Night is number one.
01:47Recent, fresh in our minds now.
01:49It's not Scooter Gannett, but Scooter Bader.
01:54Is Scoots on there?
01:57Uh, number 10.
01:58Who was sneaking in?
02:00All right.
02:00Yeah, Bader snuck in there.
02:02I feel like if we workshop the whole Scooter Gannett thing, we might be able to come up with something
02:07there.
02:07Uh, but anyway, yeah.
02:09Number 10, Harrison Bader, uh, combines plantar fasciitis with a scooter accident in an effort to scam the Giants Insurance
02:17Company.
02:18Go ahead.
02:18Uh, this one's a bit of a reach, but Logan Webb gets taken out and gets his handshake.
02:26And then there's confusion as to whether or not he was told and all the rest of it.
02:30That's a long answer, but it's number six.
02:31Okay.
02:32Yeah, that is absolutely number six on the board.
02:34Logan Webb pulled from a gem with an early handshake.
02:39Uh, and then obviously the Giants go out and blow the game.
02:42Uh, I just, I put down a person and I don't know if this is fair, but I just wrote
02:48down Ryan Walker.
02:50I just, I just wrote Ryan Walker.
02:53Strike one.
02:54Sorry, that's just strike one.
02:54Ryan Walker, uh, did not make the list.
02:57Uh, though one of the eliminated items is related to that.
03:02I told you, like I had more than 10 and a few of them got into that, ended up on
03:06the cutting room floor.
03:07Uh, the Giants having no closer at any point all year, um, was kind of how I wrote it.
03:13And Ryan Walker is certainly related to that, but, uh, I'm sorry.
03:17That's strike one.
03:18Okay.
03:18Um, I have Bryce up, but not playing.
03:21Number four on the list.
03:23Yes.
03:24Bryce Eldridge being called up to not play.
03:27Very good, Dan.
03:28You're crushing it right now.
03:30Wait a minute.
03:31So you've already got number one, number two, number four, number five, number six, and number 10.
03:38You want to keep going?
03:40You want to go into the bonus round?
03:41You're, I mean, there's only four more left.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Um, is it Hector Borg?
03:47Third base coach or Victor Borg?
03:49Number three.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Hector Borg being hired to be the third base coach when Tony Vitello seemed to not even know who he
03:56was.
03:57And then having him send people who shouldn't be sent, stop people who shouldn't be stopped,
04:02and then sent somewhere, uh, else in the organization, which at no point do we know what that is right
04:09now.
04:10Okay.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Number three.
04:12All right.
04:12You're crushing it.
04:13Now they're tough though.
04:15Yeah.
04:15Yeah, we're getting to the deep water.
04:17I'm going to try to give you a little clue.
04:19Not all of these are like whoopsie-daisy embarrassing mess ups.
04:27I don't know if that helps.
04:28Yeah.
04:29You know what I mean?
04:30Like some of them are just bum luck.
04:33Right.
04:34Buzzard's luck, as Boach would say.
04:35Right.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Buzzard's luck.
04:40This one is probably not on there, but the, uh, Vitello,
04:44how'd you find out about me getting the job press conference?
04:48Oh, that actually would have been good.
04:50Uh, was preseason, which is probably why I didn't put it on the list, but I'm sorry.
04:54That is strike number two.
04:56Tony Vitello bringing up the university of Tennessee and Twitter from the Arizona dugout.
05:02Yes.
05:03Didn't quite make the list.
05:04Um, you'd have to prove it.
05:06Pasta's really, I just looked over and he is deep in thought.
05:12He's doing like a stargaze.
05:14Like he's really grinding on trying to think of what's on this list.
05:17If the Dibley family comes up with a third strike, the Risotto family can come in and steal.
05:21That's a good point.
05:22And there are three answers left, I believe, that are on the board.
05:25The top 10 things that have gone awry.
05:28They've gone awry.
05:31This year, I just, oh, uh, Trevor McDonald in, uh, the UCL.
05:36Um, good guess, but I'm sorry.
05:38That is strike three.
05:39Strike three.
05:41Trevor McDonald will have, uh, uh, reconstructive surgery and therefore we'll have extra time
05:47to go giggity, giggity, giggity, giggin' whenever he wants.
05:50Um, but no, I'm sorry, Dan Dibley.
05:52That is three strikes.
05:54Would the Risotto family like to steal?
05:58The Risotto family would like to steal.
06:00All right.
06:01Uh, I was between two of them and one of them is not worse than the Harrison Bader, uh, fire
06:07truck plantar fasciitis.
06:10What about, I don't know about this one, but I'm going to go with it anyways.
06:14When Tony Vitello called for a reliever who was not warming up in the bullpen, there's
06:20a mix up there.
06:21Okay.
06:21It's a great answer.
06:23It's a great answer, but unfortunately strike that is not on the board.
06:27So the Dibley family gets, you get the 178 points for that.
06:32It's big.
06:33Yeah.
06:33Congrats.
06:35They're figuring out how family feud came up with the points.
06:38It's just like this random, it's a hundred points available.
06:42And then like, it's always like this rando number, like, yep, you won.
06:47And that's a hundred and twenty two points.
06:49It's really, it's math.
06:51No, it's not.
06:53What are you saying?
06:54Because I'm saying is like triple the values in the last round and whoever wins the last
06:58round, boom, you win.
06:59Well, it's the first to 300.
07:01Right.
07:01So the last round is like worth like 500.
07:04It's because they want to give a team a chance, a family that's maybe been shut out.
07:08You can always come back.
07:09Like what was your number one on the board?
07:12Uh, Friday night.
07:13Yeah.
07:13So that would have like 54 points.
07:16That's the number one.
07:17And you get down to like answer 10.
07:19That would be like two or one.
07:21And you add those up and I don't get all the points because I only got seven right.
07:25And those are my points.
07:26Yeah.
07:26But then maybe like they, they'll say like double the points on the board or something
07:31like that.
07:31Yeah.
07:31For the third round.
07:32No, for all that, like you often get more than a hundred points for winning around the
07:37first round and usually the second round are just single points.
07:40Then you get to a double.
07:41And if you need that last puzzle and you need somebody to win, you go to triple.
07:45I know that you are Mr. Rules guy.
07:48As a guy who's been on a game show before and pays attention.
07:51Not yet.
07:52I already have my lineup for the Dibleys.
07:54I have family members who are on Jeopardy.
07:57Yeah.
07:58I can talk to them.
07:59I told my kids, dad's not smart enough for Jeopardy, but he is for Wheel of Fortune.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Yeah.
08:04Andy Bagley on Jeopardy, he won.
08:06The Jeopardy people can be tough in a casual conversation.
08:09Yeah.
08:09They're a little too smart for Earth.
08:11I'd like a 16th century English poetry, please, for 200.
08:16You guys have brought up some good answers that have actually made me even kind of reconsider
08:20my 10.
08:20Like that was a very good one, Pasta.
08:24One that was related to that, though, is one that I did.
08:28Number eight, Tyler Malley and Tony Vitello differ on whether or not a pitch count was
08:36established before the game.
08:38Good one.
08:39Tony Vitello's like, yeah, he's on a pitch count.
08:41Tyler's like, nobody told me.
08:42And then Tony was like, no, we told him, but we didn't tell him what, because we didn't
08:46want him looking at the scoreboard.
08:48And so there was a whole back and forth there between Malley and Vitello.
08:52Good one.
08:54Oh, I jumped around.
08:56That was number eight.
08:56Number seven, do you remember when the umpires in Tampa Bay basically started making fun of
09:02the Giants pitching staff?
09:04And I believe it was Hunter Wendelstadt who said to the Giants coaching staff, who do you
09:09think you are?
09:10Yeah.
09:11There was that one.
09:12I think that was in the wake of the Elliott Ramos home run that wasn't when he hit the
09:17fat walk thing in Tampa.
09:19And then number nine, I just put Casey Schmidt tearing his meniscus.
09:23Yeah.
09:24I mean, that was an easy one.
09:26I totally forgot.
09:27With Trevor McDonald's injury, I'm like, go with the good player.
09:29Yeah.
09:29Casey Schmidt.
09:30And honestly, it just slipped my mind.
09:34And I mean, Chappie's been out for like a month or whatever with the oblique.
09:39What are some of the ones that didn't make the list?
09:41Well, now I'm going to have to go into my email.
09:43Oh, don't worry about it.
09:43Yeah.
09:44It's not that serious.
09:45Yeah.
09:45No, it's not.
09:45Catch the beeping ball?
09:48Good.
09:49Good.
09:49No, that didn't make the list, but good.
09:51And I wrote down Posey Dodges questions about Pride Night, but I thought that that was too
09:58connected to Pride Night.
09:59That all fit.
10:00Yeah.
10:00The entire experience was about a week and a half long, and it all counts as one.
10:05Hector Borg?
10:06Yeah, I said that.
10:06Number three.
10:07Thank you for listening.
10:08Yeah, you weren't listening.
10:08I thought it was Victor.
10:09No, he was stargazing and trying to think of other answers.
10:12He was working very hard.
10:13There was smoke coming out of his ears in there.
10:14The fact that we can come up with a second 10, like a second team, that's where you start
10:19to realize it's been unsettling.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Unsettling.
10:22It is very unsettling.
10:23All right.
10:24It's been a disaster.
10:25Luckily, they'll all be gone on Monday.
10:28Man.
10:28I mean.
10:29No, no, no.
10:30Manassian said maybe we've gotten calls on about a dozen people.
10:33Can you even try to guess who the dozen people might be?
10:36Oh, for sure.
10:37Trades are hard.
10:38Who?
10:39Okay, so other major league teams are calling about a dozen players on the Giants.
10:45Obviously, Arise, Robbie Ray, it sounds like Elliot Ramos is probably in that conversation.
10:53I'm sure they've called on Jung-Hoo Lee.
10:55So that's four.
10:57I guess almost every reliever, right?
11:01Brubaker, Foley, Hentges, you know, Caleb Killian.
11:08Chapman.
11:10Someone else is calling on Chapman?
11:12I believe.
11:13I feel like the Giants are going to have to call other people on those guys.
11:16There are teams that are in need of a third baseman, teams that are contending.
11:21And Chapman, even though he has his no-trade clause, I would imagine.
11:25I'm not sure if it's the Yankees that really need a third baseman.
11:28I'm not totally up to date on my third base needs around Major League Baseball.
11:33But he is the kind of guy that you would look to bring in because he's a phenomenal defensive player.
11:40We've lost Willard.
11:42We've lost him.
11:43I'm sorry.
11:43I just looked up at the text line.
11:47And our friend T-Dog just texted in a line that made me laugh very hard.
11:52None of you brought this one up, nor did I.
11:54He says, how about the Giants outfielders humping each other?
11:59Great call.
12:02Great call.
12:04It was just so succinct and to the point.
12:07That was when Bader was a giant for a little bit.
12:10Yeah, remember when Harrison Bader was a giant?
12:12That was back in the day.
12:14And something about the word humping, it just, because that, it's basically, I mean, they were
12:20pelvic thrusting.
12:21I think two parts is what they're allowed.
12:22There was gyrating.
12:24Boosh.
12:25And thrusting.
12:26You know what that is.
12:27Yeah, it's a gyration sensation.
12:29Remember poor John?
12:30John Hooli is out there like, what are you guys doing?
12:34What are you doing to me right now?
12:37I thought we just won a game.
12:38Does it really need to go this far?
12:41Oh, gosh.
12:42What kind of a year has this been?
12:46The worst.
12:48The absolute worst.
12:52Patrick Bailey's OPS was 396.
12:56Add that to the list.
12:58Patrick Bailey's 82 at-bats.
13:01Oh, God.
13:03Yeah, remember they just traded Patrick on a Saturday morning, like two minutes into the
13:09season.
13:09They were just like, will you just leave, please?
13:13396, the OPS.
13:15That's not even possible.
13:15No.
13:16That's not even possible.
13:17Bader with 106 at-bats this year for the Giants.
13:21There you have it.
13:24Oh, gosh.
13:26Can you do a top list review?
13:28How about the good things that have happened for the Giants this year?
13:31That would be quicker.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Bryce Eldridge, walk-off Grand Slam.
13:37Yeah.
13:37The future.
13:38Yeah.
13:39The walk-off Grand Slam.
13:41The future.
13:42Luis Arise, pretty much.
13:45Just Luis Arise.
13:46A third of all his at-bats are hits.
13:48Oh, can I say, did you see Vitello yesterday?
13:50Do we have the sound of that?
13:51Do we have Vitello talking about Arise yesterday?
13:53I found it touching.
13:54Oh, also the Daniel Susack debut in front of family.
13:58Yeah.
13:58And that poor shaken baby syndrome.
14:01Except for the sugared up kid almost getting thrown a couple of rows.
14:06But other than that, it was great.
14:08Do you remember that exercise fad that you could buy on TV, the shake weight?
14:12Oh, yes.
14:13That was giving me shake weight vibes.
14:15The way his brother, and again, his brother was holding his baby and he was excited and
14:19the kid was tired.
14:21Yeah.
14:21Boosh.
14:22The old shake weight.
14:23Anyway.
14:23I'm just like scrolling through players here trying to think of other positive moments for
14:30the Giants this year.
14:33Um, yeah.
14:35I think that's it.
14:38Probably it.
14:40Jung-Hoo Lee had like a month where he couldn't get him out.
14:43Yeah.
14:43That was fun.
14:44But like.
14:45Like a 16-game hitting streak.
14:47Outside of the Bryce Eldridge walk-off granny, like give me a game where you're like, I remember
14:51that game.
14:52I remember that game.
14:54I mean, they hit, I got one.
14:56They've hit like 47 Grand Slams.
14:59True.
14:59Right?
15:00Yeah.
15:00Grand Slam Frisco or whatever people wanted to call it.
15:04Slam Francisco.
15:05You guys were doing that when I was out one day.
15:07It was like, they've done that.
15:09I went to a couple of those games.
15:10Back-to-back games where I saw a Grand Slam from a Giants hitter.
15:16Rafi Devers hit one in a moment where the whole stadium was just on their feet waiting for
15:20him to do it and he did it.
15:21So, there have been a couple moments like that.
15:24Yeah.
15:25Here's Vitello.
15:26They asked him about a rise potentially being dealt.
15:29Take a listen to this.
15:32Made everybody's day better.
15:34That was my initial answer would be we don't have enough time here.
15:38And I'd put it in a note to him and I'd put it in a note to you all.
15:42So, maybe we'll revisit that question if it is the case.
15:45But I think a succinct exact answer is he literally made everyone.
15:50You could pick any fan you want.
15:52You guys, players, coaches, literally made everyone's day better.
15:57Every day.
15:58And there wasn't any days off for that theory either.
16:01Sounded like Tony was like...
16:03A lot of past tense in there.
16:04It sounded like he was about to get emotional about Luis's eyes.
16:08And he didn't say makes everybody happy.
16:12He said made.
16:13Well, it was a hypothetical question the way it was phrased.
16:17What if...
16:18What would you say if that was Luis's eyes last home game?
16:23And then he said, I would say...
16:25Yeah.
16:26Okay.
16:26So, maybe that might answer that a little bit.
16:29But you're not wrong.
16:31Yeah.
16:32I mean, the guy's going to get dealt.
16:33You would figure...
16:34The guy's going to get dealt.
16:35And we're starting to see some trades trickle in here over the last couple of days.
16:40Some smaller little deals.
16:42And, you know, starting to get active between now and Monday, as we've mentioned.
16:46That's when the deadline is.
16:48And so, yeah, there's rumors out there.
16:50And there's some conjecture and some little mini deals being made.
16:54Tonight's probably Robbie Ray's last performance as a Giant.
16:57You would figure.
16:57Yeah.
16:59And, I mean, you don't want to just outright not throw him tonight.
17:04That's a little bit of a tell.
17:05But you will be holding your breath tonight.
17:08That's for sure.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Let's...
17:09If he gives up a hit, I'll just take him out.
17:13Second inning, we're good.
17:14Thanks for your performance.
17:16Have a seat.
17:17We've got a bunch of relievers that we would like to showcase as well.
17:20Right.
17:21And, you know, if those guys come up with a fingernail issue or something, that's not as dramatic.
17:26But you need Robbie Ray to pitch.
17:29And pitch pretty well.
17:30Not too long.
17:31Don't strain too hard.
17:32And then go ahead and pack your things.
17:34Yeah.
17:35That's probably the way it's going to...
17:36I will say this.
17:38Just I want to get this out before he throws.
17:39Because I don't know how it's going to go tonight.
17:42If this is indeed Robbie Ray's last performance as a Giant.
17:46I want to acknowledge Robbie Ray.
17:49He's been a good Giant.
17:51He grunts.
17:52He wears tight pants.
17:54He's been a solid performer.
17:58And, oh, by the way, represents a little bit of a sweet Farhan Zaidi moonwalk.
18:04Because Farhan signed Mitch Hanegar to a deal that did not work out.
18:11Which bummed me out.
18:11Because Hanegar is a good Cal Poly Mustang.
18:14But that did not work out.
18:16And he was able to kind of spin his way out of the Hanegar deal by acquiring a then-injured
18:24former Cy Young winner in Robbie Ray.
18:27And he's been very, very good.
18:29Robbie Ray's been excellent in his time as a Giant.
18:32So that was a positive trade after a bad signing from Farhan Zaidi.
18:36Yeah.
18:37And, I mean, Farhan, the transaction log in the Farhan era was just mind-blowing.
18:42How often.
18:43Also, how many deals with Seattle.
18:44I'd have to look up exactly how many there were.
18:47But it feels like more than 10 in his, what, four or five years that he was here.
18:51Should have just swapped rosters at the beginning.
18:53It made it easier.
18:54Just cut right to it.
18:55Yeah, exactly.
18:56So, anyway.
18:57Yeah.
18:58Robbie Ray tonight.
18:59Probably the last time as a San Francisco Giant.
