On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, Juan Soto and the San Diego Padres are in San Francisco. Soto entered Monday night’s game hitting .254 with 24 home runs and 52 RBIs. The Pads are really looking for some big things from the slugger.

#2 Manny Machado is staying way ahead of the pack with his hitting slugging .304 with 24 home runs and 81 RBIs. Machado hits behind Soto so pitchers will be careful what to throw these guys.

#3 The story on the Giants Brandon Belt is a big question mark. Belt has had knee problems and most recently his left knee. He’s had to have his knee drain multiple times and his career is in question.

#4 Turning to pro football Sun Sep 11 the San Francisco 49ers are in Chicago to face the Bears. 49ers head coach will be looking for a winning effort from quarterback Trey Lance. How ready is Lance in this first game.

#5 Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is preparing for their game on Sun Sep 11 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Carr who did not play in any of the pre season games says he’s ready. Carr had worked in one on one sessions with opposing teams each week which is considered better than facing pre season action.
