Remember when linebacker Aldon Smith was drafted seventh overall by the San Francisco 49ers at the 2011 NFL Draft?

In his college years at the University of Missouri, he was considered to be just a three-star recruit, but was somehow considered to be the fifth overall prospect in the state of Missouri. In his freshman year in 2009, he started 11 of 13 games, finishing the season with 60 tackles and 11 sacks. In his sophomore year in 2010, he played in nine games, recording 48 tackles and six sacks. He forwent his final two years of college eligibility.

In 2011, Smith made his NFL debut in the 49ers’ game against the Seahawks. Despite not starting a single season his rookie year, he was only a half sack shy of tying the all-time rookie sack record held by defensive end Jevon Kearse. The Pro Football Writers of America named him Defensive Rookie of the Year. As for the Associated Press‘ NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, he finished in second place, trailing just linebacker Von Miller.

It wasn’t until 2012 that Smith became a full-time starter. In Super Bowl XLVIII. he had two combined tackles as the 49ers lost to the Ravens 34-31 on February 3, 2013.

Things took a turn for the worse after Super Bowl XLVIII. Smith got involved in a single vehicle accident in San Jose, California, and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. As a result, he voluntarily entered a rehab facility, which caused him to miss five NFL games. Despite his early public struggles, he finished the 2013 season with 34 tackles and 8.5 sacks. He was also ranked No. 33 in the NFL Top 100 Years of 2014.

The following year, Smith was reinstated in Week 11 after serving a nine-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse and personal conduct policies, but the 49ers released him following his third DUI arrest.

After that, Smith signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Raiders on September 11, 2015. He finished his first season with the Raiders with 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks in nine games and seven starts.

In 2016, Smith re-signed with the Raiders and later applied for reinstatement, but no reinstatement occurred, so he sat out during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, respectively. Following a domestic violence incident, Oakland released him on March 5, 2018, and that domestic violence incident was the first of three arrests for Smith in the past two months alone.

Smith violated a court order on March 23, 2018. He was ordered to stay away from a woman (who was later revealed to be his fiancee) he assaulted earlier that month.

Smith was also arrested on April 8, 2018. He reportedly violated the terms of a protective order from his previous domestic violence arrest. He was held on $500,000 bail.

The question isn’t “who can bond Smith out of jail?” It’s “can Smith stay out of trouble?” The 28-year-old has time to turn things around for the better, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon. His fiancee–who has only know him for three months–is reportedly going to leave him and keep the ring that he gave her.

A short (or long) jail stint is going to protect the people, but it’s likely not going to save Smith. He has to want to stay out of trouble in order to try to make a comeback in the NFL.

On the Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 Seems like the Giants couldn’t do much with the Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw, who went eight innings and gave up a run.

#2 Fortunately for the Giants they got good pitching as well from Ty Blach, who pitched six innings giving up four hits and a run.

#3 The Dodgers in extras did get help from their bench as pinch hitter Kyle Farmer, who hit a opposite field double for an RBI to score teammate Cody Bellinger for the go-ahead and winning run.

#4 This was a tightly-played series between the two rival teams with both games of the rain shortened two-game series going extra innings.

#5 The Arizona Diamondbacks (7-2)–first place in the NL West–open a three-game series at AT&T Park tonight as this will be another test for San Francisco, who will try and use a strong offensive line up against the competitive D-Backs.

Farmer’s Insurance: Dodger’s Farmer wins it in extras clutch RBI double for 2-1 win

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

on twitter @thecaryoz photo: Los Angeles Dodger hitter Kyle Farmer takes a hack at an opposite field double that scored teammate Cody Bellinger in the tenth inning at AT&T Park in San Francisco

By Jeremy Kahn

SAN FRANCISCO-Kyle Farmer was sitting on the bench for nine innings, and then Dave Roberts called his name.

Farmer hit an opposite field double over the head of Andrew McCutchen in the top of the 10th inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 2-1 before a sellout crowd of 42,374 at AT&T Park.

The double off the right field wall scored Cody Bellinger, who came on in the eighth inning as a defensive replacement at first base for Kike Hernandez.

Bellinger doubled off of eventual losing pitcher Pierre Johnson to open the 10th inning, for the Dodgers, who gained a split in the brief two-game series.

Josh Fields pitched a perfect ninth inning for the victory, while Kenley Jansen came on to close it out for the Dodgers, as he picked up his first save of the season.

Despite giving up a base hit to Hunter Pence in the bottom of the 10th inning, Jansen struck out the other three batters he faced.

Matt Kemp’s single scored Yasmani Grandal with the first run that the Dodgers would get on the afternoon against Giants pitching.

It was a no-decision for Kershaw, who opened the season with two consecutive losses, his worst start to a season since 2009 when he also started 0-2.

Kershaw is 22-10 all-time versus the Giants in his career, and in 22 career games at AT&T Park, 21 of them being starts, Kershaw is still 13-4.

The Dodgers also helped out Kershaw on defense, as Chris Taylor robbed Kelby Tomlinson of extra bases in the bottom of extra bases, when he made a diving catch of the Tomlinson hit ball. Kershaw then helped out his own cause, as he pounced off the mound like a cat to get Ty Blach on a little dribbler up the third base line.

After retiring 11 in a row from the bottom of the second inning to the bottom of the sixth inning, the Giants began to get to Kershaw, as they picked up back-to-back singles; however, a great catch by Yaisel Puig in right field for the second out. Following the catch, Puig was able to get up and throw Gorkys Hernandez at third base for the final out of the inning.

Evan Longoria picked up two of the hits for the Giants, as he doubled off of Kershaw in the bottom of the second inning with one out, but was left stranded at second base. Longoria then came up in the bottom of the seventh inning, but like in the second inning, Longoria was left stranded at second base, as Pablo Sandoval grounded out to Chase Utley to end the inning.

The Giants finally got to Kershaw in the bottom of the eighth inning, as Hunter Pence and Kelby Tomlinson each singled off of Kershaw and that would be the end of the day for Kershaw.

JT Chargois replaced Kershaw, and Buster Posey greeted the reliever with a base hit that tied up the game for the Giants. Austin Jackson then grounded into a double play, and then Joe Panik flew out for the third out of the inning.

Kershaw went seven innings, allowing one run on six hits, while walking no one and striking out six.

It was not a bad outing for Ty Blach, who pitched six innings, allowing one run on four hits, walking three and striking out just one.

NOTES: Derek Holland takes the mound on Monday night, as he looks for his first win of the season, while Zack Goldey looks to improve to 2-0 on the season for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

McCutchen walks it off in the bottom of the 14th in Giants’ 7-5 win over Dodgers

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Jeremy Kahn

SAN FRANCISCO — Welcome to one of the biggest rivalries in all of major league baseball, Andrew McCutchen of the San Francisco Giants.

McCutchen hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 14th inning, helping the Giants defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-5 before a sellout crowd of 42,302 at AT&T Park Saturday.

It was the sixth hit of the game for McCutchen, whose previous career high was five that he picked up on May 14, 2010, while playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The three-run home run by McCutchen capped a 12-pitch at-bat against Wilmer Font to give the Giants a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

McCutchen was down 1-2 against Font and then fouled off seven consecutive pitches, and then on the 12th pitch of the at-bat he launched the pitch into the left-center field seats for the victory.

Kelby Tomlinson and Joe Panik each singled off of Font before McCutchen’s first home run as a member of the Giants.

“I was just trying to fight him off, fight him off, until I got comfortable enough to whatever he threw up there I was ready to hit,” McCutchen said. “He didn’t elevate it too much there, and I was able to elevate.”

It was a four-RBI game for McCutchen, who saw his batting average raise from .083 to .258.

“Finally showed up today. Finally,” McCutchen said. “It’s only what, Game 7, but when you’re not getting hits, it feels like it’s forever. Feels good to show up today and do the job.”

Buster Posey also hit his first home run of the season for the Giants, as they improved to 4-3 on the young season, while the reigning National League Champion Dodgers fell to 2-6 on the season, their worst start in 42 years.

The Giants led on three different occasions, as they led 1-0, 3-1 and 4-3; however, the Dodgers tied it up every time and took the lead for the only time in the top of the 14th inning.

Roberto Gomez pitched the 14th inning to pick-up his first major league win, as the Giants used all nine relievers.

The Dodgers took their only lead of the game in the top of the 14th, as Logan Forsythe drove in Yasiel Puig with a single.

After just the sixth rainout in the history of AT&T Park, and first since April 11, 2006, the two old rivals played a 14th inning, five hour 16-minute game that started at 3:05 (local time) and ended at 8:21 (local time).

Font was the last reliever for the Dodgers, as manager Dave Roberts used Clayton Kershaw and Hyun-Jin Ryu as pinch hitters.

Chase Utley tied up the game in the top of the seventh inning, as he launched a pitch that landed on the arcade in right field. Utley’s double play mate, Corey Seager picked up two hits and reached five times and Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger also picked up two hits.

“We just came up short again,” Roberts said. “That’s five runs in 14 innings. You have to look at each at-bat and the quality needs to get better. There needs to be a better pitch-to-pitch focus.”

Chris Stratton pitched five innings for the Giants, as he gave up two runs and walked four in a no-decision.

Veteran Rich Hill gave up three runs on five hits, while walking just two and striking out six.

NOTES: Kershaw, who came up as a pinch hitter will start the brief two-game series finale on Sunday for the Dodgers. Ty Blach will take the mound for the Giants in a rematch for opening day at Dodger Stadium.

The Giants struck out 18 times against Dodgers, tied for the second most in team history. This was the second time in team history that they struck out 18 times in the same game.

They struck out 18 times on September 1, 1967 against the Cincinnati Reds, and it ties the most ever against the Dodgers, as the Dodgers also did to the Giants on August 31, 1959.

The San Diego Padres struck out 20 Giants on June 18, 2001.

UP NEXT: The Giants and Dodgers conclude the series Sunday afternoon at 1:05 pm PT.

SJ Earthquakes leave Philly with a point, end match with a 1-1 draw against the Union

The San Jose Earthquakes (1-2-1) searched for a win against the Philadelphia Union (1-1-2) on Saturday after coming off of three consecutive losses against Sporting Kansas City, Club Léon, and New York City FC. Neither a win nor a loss occurred against Philadelphia as the game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Talen Energy Stadium Saturday. 

The action was minimal in the first 45 minutes of the match, with the exception of a yellow card for the Union’s David Accam and a goal from Quakes’ Magnus Eriksson at the 37-minute mark, assisted by Danny Hoesen. The Union had nine shots compared to the Quakes’ four, and they had possession of the ball for 57% of the first half. Still, the Quakes were up 1-0.

Following the Quakes’ loss to NYCFC, Eriksson told an MLS reporter: “There are a lot of players in this locker room that hate to lose. Still, we’re going in the right direction.”

Yeferson Quintana received a yellow card 11 minutes into the second half (56-minute mark overall). Defender Shea Salinas replaced Joel Qwiberg for the Quakes at the 58-minute mark, as well as Ilsinho for David Accam on the Union at the 63rd. One minute later, Alejandro Bedoya scored the Union’s first goal (assisted by Fafa Picault) to tie the game 1-1.

After 90 minutes, the game ended with a score of 1-1. The Union heavily exceeded the Quakes in both shots (22 versus nine) and possession of the ball (63% versus 37%). Nonetheless, San Jose did not go home pointless.

Up Next: The Quakes return home at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, April 14 to host the Houston Dynamo. Kick off is at 7:15 p.m. PT. 

Barracuda sweep home-and-home series with 7-3 win over Heat

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Barracuda (31-26-4-4), with their backs against the wall, received the game-winning goal from defenseman Julius Bergman seven minutes into the third period, where they scored four unanswered goals, to defeat the Stockton Heat (32-27-2-4) 7-3 and swept the home-and-home series on Saturday afternoon at the SAP Center. The Cuda’s current three-game win streak have their playoff hopes still hanging by a thread.

Ivan Chekhovich, playing in only his third game for San Jose, skated down the left boards, and passed it back to the right slot where Bergman fired a shot top-shelf in the left corner beating Heat goalie David Rittich (7-5-0) for his 10th goal of the season at the 7:12 mark of the third period. Rourke Chartier received the secondary assist.

“Got a great pass in the middle,” said Bergman on eventual game winning goal. “Just trying to find a hole. Shot it there and it went in.”

San Jose continued its hot streak on the power play. Adam Helewka fed a pass down low to Alex True, who then sent a cross-ice pass through the crease over to Middleton. His shot ricochet off Dalton Prout’s skate into the net past Rittich. Middleton’s sixth goal of the season came at the 6:44 mark of the first period.

Stockton would answer back before the fans had a chance to sit back down in their seats. Just 13 seconds later, Oliver Kylington pinched in from the point as Brett Findley sent over a cross-ice pass that found Kylington all alone in the right slot and he snapped a wrist shot past Cuda goalie Antoine Bibeau (21-14-4) for his sixth goal of the season.

Stockton would take the lead after a pretty tic-tac-toe goal scored by Emile Poirier. Mike McMurtry skated along the right board and fed the puck over to Ryam Lomberg. Lomberg one-timed a pass between his legs over to Poirier, who quickly shot the puck past Bibeau for his sixth goal of the season at the 15:03 mark.

Rittich made two point-blank saves with under two minutes left in the period on shots by Nick DeSimone and Rudolfs Balcers to keep the score 2-1 heading into the first intermission. San Jose outshot Stockton 12-4.

Chartier breakaway attempt was stopped by Rittich midway the second period. Bibeau stopped a point-blank chance on a 2-on-1 less than a minute later.

“I think we’re just having fun,” said Bibeau regarding his the Cuda’s three-game win streak. “I don’t think we’re thinking too much about (getting into the) playoffs right now. Everyone is playing well right now and we’re just having fun.”

San Jose tied it up after a shot by True ricochet off Rittich right to Colby McAuley, who tapped in a rebound into the empty net. McAuley skated into the middle of the slot, fed a pass over to True, who fired a shot on Rittich that went back to McAuley for his fourth goal of the season at the 14:09 mark. Radim Simek received the secondary assist.

Emerson Clark gave the Cuda the lead when he scored off a mad scramble in front of the net. Tim Heed’s shot trickled all the way through to the net, Manny Wiederer poked at the puck twice in front of Rittich before the puck squeezed out to a crashing Clark who punched it home for his ninth goal of the season at the 16:01 mark. Noah Rod received the secondary assist.

Colin Smith tied the game up on a 3-on-2 rush. Dillion Dube started the rush at center ice, fed a pass over to the left slot to Morgan Klimchuck, who fired a pass over to a wide-open Smith in between the circles, who snapped home the puck past Bibeau for his ninth goal of the season at the 4:07 mark of the third period.

True gave the Cuda a two-goal lead at the 9:41 mark when McAuley skated in from the red line, went through two Heat defenders and passed over to a wide-open True just to the right of the crease, who buried the puck into an empty net for his 13th goal of the season.

Balcers made his way into the goal party as he danced his way all the way up to an empty net, with Rittich pulled for an extra attacker, for his team leading 22nd goal of the season at the 17:47 mark to give the Cuda 6-3 lead.

Sasha Chmelevski completed the scoring on a 2-on-1 break with Adam Helewka. Helewka skated in, fed a pass over to Chmelevski, who made a nice move around Rittich and slid the puck into an empty net for his second goal in three games at the 18:47 mark.

“We got a lot of juice in the our lineup right now,” said head coach Roy Sommer. “With the kids that we brought in and they’ve played really well and made a big difference.”

Bibeau had another strong showing in net, making 21 saves on 24 saves to earn the victory. Rittich made 27 saves on 32 shots, suffering the defeat.

GAME NOTES: San Jose went 1/2 on the power play. It was the eighth consecutive game the Cuda have scored a power-play goal.

Stockton went 0/2. They were 0/8 in the two-game series.

UP NEXT: The Barracuda travel to Bakersfield to take on the Condors on Wednesday, April 11 at 6:30 pm PT.

Barracuda keep hope alive as they cool off the Heat 6-2

Desperate times call for desperate hockey. The San Jose Barracuda (30-26-4-4) gave their fading playoff hopes a shot in the arm as six different goal scorers powered the way to a  6-2 victory over the Stockton Heat (32-26-2-4) on Friday evening at Stockton Arena.

San Jose’s victory along with the Texas Stars’ 3-2 shootout loss to the Rockford IceHogs kept the Barracuda mathematically alive. They will need to win out and need Texas to lose out in order to make the playoffs.

The Cuda would get off to the start it wanted midway through the first period. Manny Wiederer’s wrist shot pinballed off of Heat goalie David Rittich’s (7-4-0) equipment and before he could corral the puck it went his under the right arm into the back of the net. The rookie forward’s eighth goal of the season came at the 9:20 mark. Radim Simek and Noah Rod received assists on the goal.

Stockton generated a couple of scoring chances late in the first period, but weren’t able to get a puck past Cuda goalie Stephon Williams (2-1-0). They outshot San Jose 8-5 in the first period.

A close call early in the second period almost resulted in a goal for Stockton on the power play. A one-timer shot from the point deflected on Williams and off his pads as it was laying in the crease that created a mad scramble in front of the net. The Cuda were able to clear the puck with no harm done.

Noah Rod, playing just his seventh career game, gave the Cuda a 2-0 lead when he scored his first career AHL goal. Rod was able to pounce on a rebound off a Julius Bergman shot and back-handed the puck top-shelf past Rittich at the 9:20 mark of the second period. Emerson Clark received the secondary assist.

Rudolfs Balcers continued his sensational rookie season when he scored his team leading 21st goal of the season after receiving a pass from Rourke Chartier, he was able to collect his own rebound on his initial shot and fired it home past Rittich at the 13:47 mark.

Stockton would get on the board when Mike McMurtry scored his fifth goal of the season exactly a minute later. Emile Poirier’s shot pinballed off Williams and McMurtry punched home the rebound at the 14:47 mark. Ryan Lomberg received the secondary assist.

San Jose regained their three-goal lead just 50 seconds into the third period. Tim Heed, in his fifth game with the Cuda, scored his first goal on the season on the power play. Heed blasted a shot from the right point inside the near post past Rittich. Jacob Middelton and Alex True received assists on the goal.

Williams made a great save while Stockton was on the power play five minutes into the period. He had lost his stick during a mad scramble, but was able to use a defenseman’s stick and reached back across the crease to stop a shot that was headed for an empty net.

Chartier put the game away with his sixth goal of the season at the 13:40 mark. The Cuda had sustained pressure inside the Heat zone as Ivan Chekhovich fed Chartier, who snapped home the puck inside the post. The goal snapped a 12-game goalless drought for Chartier. Balcers received the secondary assist.

Lomberg tipped home the puck past Williams from a shot from the point. McMurtry sent a shot toward the net that Lomberg was able to deflect home for his 10th goal of the season at the 16:40 mark.

Chekhovic iced the game with an empty-netter for his second goal in as many games to close out the scoring at the 17:46 mark. Chartier received the only assist on the goal.

Williams made 22 saves on 24 shots to earn the victory. Rittich made 16 saves on 21 shots in the defeat.

GAME NOTES: San Jose went 1/2 on the power play. Stockton was 0/6.

This was the 10th meeting of the season between the two teams. They play each other twice more in the final four games of the regular season.

Brodie Dupont gave a hard check on Zach Frye that cause some pushing and shoving after the whistle late in the first period.

Heed’s power play goal made it seven consecutive games with a power play goal for San Jose. They are 10/29 in their last seven games on the power play.

With the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Colby McAuley and Luke Gazdic exchanged fisticuffs with less than two minutes left in the game.

UP NEXT: The Barracuda take on the Stockton Heat to close out the home-and-home series on Saturday at 1:15 pm PT at SAP Center.
