On the MLB podcast with Charlie O:

#1 It’s going to be a very special day for San Francisco Giants pitcher Sergio Romo who will retire as a Giants on Mon Mar 27th at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Romo a reliever was part of the 2012 and 2014 World Championship teams and was crucial in the closing role those seasons. Romo pitched for the Giants for nine seasons.

#2 Charlie just getting updates on the New York Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo and left hand pitcher Jose Quintana. Nimmo hurt his right ankle and woke up the next day with his right knee hurting. Nimmo underwent an MRI and it’s questionable if he’ll be able to play by opening day. Quintana had bone graft surgery to remove a benign lesion on his rib and is not expected back until July.

#3 Former Seattle Mariner great Ken Griffey Jr who is a Team USA coach put on a clinic during batting practice in front of Team USA at LoanDepot Park in Miami on Saturday. Sporting the traditional backward baseball cap Jr was launching a few into the bleachers to the roar of the Team USA players. He still has his skills.

#4 Charlie one of the risks of participating in the World Baseball Classic is players could get hurt and the Houston Astros Jose Altuve who was swinging the bats for Team Venezuela was no different taking a Team USA pitch from Daniel Bard right on the fingers of his right hand. Altuve hit the deck after getting hit and got help from the training staff and walked off the field to the clubhouse.

#5 Brown University a utility player made Division 1 history becoming the first woman to play in a NCAA Division 1 game as Olivia Pichardo ripped a grounder to first for an unassisted out but a history making moment saying it was a lot of fun and she was glad to get something out of her first at bat.
