MLB The Show podcast Charlie O:
#1 The New York Mets have inducted David Wright into the Mets Hall of Fame on Saturday. Wright broke in in the Majors 21 years ago and the Mets retired his number 5. Wright recalled saying he was excited to get to the big league and after getting off the plane arriving at the Grapefruit League he was curious what number he was going to wear and was happy to see he was going to sport number 72.
#2 New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was keeping a close eye on on right hand pitcher Luis Gil who was working in his second rehab assignment on video and Boone said he was happy with what he saw on the tape. “Stuff was good, decent command,” said Boone, who watched a recording of Friday’s game Saturday morning. “More importantly, another step and kind of building that pitch count into 57 pitches.” Gil had been rehabbing with the Yankees double A affiliate. Boone said his fast ball was playing and that Gil had suffered a sprained lat.
#3 Former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher and former Sacramento A’s scout Jeff Bittiger has passed away at age 63 the A’s announced Sunday. Bittiger was a scout for the last 22 years and all with the A’s organization. Bittiger broke in in the bigs on Sept 2, 1986 he also pitched for the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox.
#4 Houston Astros second baseman Brendan Rodgers collided with a teammate in a triple A minor league assignment for Sugar Land on Friday night. It was Rodgers first game of his assignment as he was recovering from an left oblique strain. Rodgers in the collision broke his nose and suffered a concussion. The Astros say the will evaluate Rodgers condition over the next few days.
#5 Charlie since starting the second half of the season the Sacramento A’s have won three of their last five games. The two games they did lose were close games in efforts to try and come back. They are having a strong showing to start the second half and are seven games behind the LA Angels to climb out of the cellar so still a lot of work for the A’s
