On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that he and the Sox would appear at the White House in spite of his political difference with Trump. Cora from Puerto Rico disagreed on the amount of people that were left dead from Hurricane Maria in 2017. Cora called Trump’s comment’s disrespectful, but regardless plans to put his differences aside and take the team to the White House to honor their World’s Championship in 2018.

#2 Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz were traded from Seattle to the New York Mets. Cano is a former New York Yankee from 2005-2013 and comes back to the Big Apple this time as a Met. Cano hit .304, with 10 HRs and 50 RBIs. Diaz’s pitch was 0-4 but had an ERA 1.96, 73.1 innings pitched struck out 124, 41 hits and 17 runs.

#3 On ESPN’s show Pardon the Interruption, the subject of the San Francisco Giants trading Madison Bumgarner came up. Bum has been getting hung up and also lost some games that was not Bumgarner fashion last season. Bumgarner was 6-7 and had a 3.26 ERA.

#4. Kyler Murray will not choose football, despite having a Heisman contending year for Oklahoma University. Had Murray stayed with football, it is very likely he would have been a first round draft pick. Instead, Murray will report to Spring Training with the Oakland A’s. Murray hit .296, 13 doubles, with 10 home runs last season for the Sooners. Did Murray make the right choice to play baseball?

#5 Finally, can you see Bryce Harper signing with the Chicago Cubs? The money is there and all the benefits that go with it, can it happen?

Join Michael Duca and Morris Phillips on this edition of Sportstalk as they host the Cal Bears basketball podcast. They discuss Cal’s loss to St Mary’s last Saturday night in Moraga ending St Mary’s four game losing streak. Malik Fitts scored 19 points–one of four St. Mary’s double-digit scorers–in the Gaels’ comfortable 83-71 win over Cal. St. Mary’s shot 55 percent before halftime, and led by 15 at the break.

Justice Sueing paced the Bears with 16 points. Matt Bradley had 15, and Paris Austin had 12. The Bears again struggled with ball movement and offensive cohesion with their absurdly low assist total of six jumping off the stat sheet. As the Golden Bears drop a tough one 83-71.

NCAAFB podcast with Michelle Richardson: It was the Pitts for Pitt upended by Clemson; Ohio’s offensive unit does the trick in laying out Northwestern; plus more

On the NCAAFB podcast with Michelle:

#1 Clemson (13-0) got a huge win over Pitt (7-6) Saturday 42-10 to their fourth straight ACC title. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 12-24 for 118 yards and Pitt’s quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled, throwing 4-14 for for just 14 yards.

#2 The Ohio State Buckeyes (12-1) finished off Northwestern (8-5) 45-24. The Buckeyes dominated, thanks to fine offensive quarterbacking of Dwayne Haskins throwing for 499 yards, was picked off just once and had five passing touchdowns but the amazing thing was he got one touchdown on a shot gun and his offense did the rest of the work.

#3 The Washington Huskies (10-3) hoisted the Pac-12 Championship trophy on Friday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara with a 10-3 win over the Utah Utes (9-4). Huskies quarterback Jake Browning threw for 187 yards and a touchdown as that was enough to get past the Utes in defensive game. Plus Michelle’s final thoughts.

#3 They started the road trip with a 6-0 loss in Vegas last Sunday then lost two one-goal games in Buffalo and Toronto and took a tough four-goal loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

#4 How is the top line of Joe Thornton, Evander Kane, and Joe Pavelski who are split up to the Sharks’ current top line of Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl, and Timo Meier?

#5 Playing back-to-back games Saturday in Ottawa and Sunday in Montreal, Ottawa in seventh in the Atlantic handled the Sharks well forcing them to turn over the puck and the Sens were able to poke the puck through the Sharks defense for the four-goal win 6-2.

#6 Today was the California Golden Seals hockey lunch that Len attended a reunion of former Seals players, broadcasters and staff. Also, the Seals boosters had a tribute at SAP Center that was unforgettable two seasons ago–dedicated to former players, broadcasters, front office staff and former media relations manager our very own Len Shapiro.

49ers Try to Pull the Impossible Against Seahawks on Sunday

SANTA CLARA — The rivalry is renewed this Sunday as the 2-9 San Francisco 49ers travel up to Seattle to take on the hated 6-5 Seahawks. The rivalry has been relatively one-sided of late with Seattle taking every game since 2013.

They’ve done an exceptional job defending Century Link with the assistance of the 12th man, as the 49ers haven’t won in Seattle in 2011. Much of this is thanks to Russell Wilson, who is 11-2 all-time against the red and gold. Wilson is once again having an incredible season, passing for 2,531 yards thus far with 25 touchdowns and five interceptions.

It’ll be an uphill climb for the 49ers’ defense that has only forced five turnovers all season, including just two interceptions all year. They’ll need a huge rebound after the worst performance of the season in an 18-point embarrassment where the defense failed to get a takeaway. It’s especially horrendous when it happens against the Bucs, who have been handing out turnovers like they’re Christmas presents with 29 on the season.

The Seahawks are right in the middle of the playoff fight, currently the first team out, but a huge win against an abysmal 49ers team will most likely bump them right back in.

This Sunday, we’ll learn whether or not last weekend’s performance was due to the Reuben Foster meltdown that occurred on Saturday night or if this team has quit on Shanahan and co. If it’s the latter, it’s time to recognize the hot seat.

One player that would love to go into Seattle and turn things around is Richard Sherman. The all-pro corner returns to his old stomping grounds for the first time in red and gold, chirping all week long in preparation.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Lami: 49ers get ready for a noisy time in Seattle

Published on by Sports Radio Service

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is so concerned about the noise level that they had to deal with at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay last Sunday. He plans to ask the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to have the very loud PA announcer to keep the volume down.

#2 Shanahan is quite familiar with the noise level at upcoming CenturyLink Field this coming Sunday-a place better know for the fans as the 12th man.

#3 The Seattle Seahawks have won seven straight home games, making the 49ers visit to Century Link tough enough in spite of dealing with the loud crowd.

#4 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens quarterback rating has taken a dive since his debut against the Raiders (151.9) against the New York Giants (73.3), and then it fell against Tampa Bay (62.1).

#5 The Reuben Foster signing by Washington took many by surprise and only two days after he was let go by the 49ers. Washington’s head coach Jay Gruden said the team will address the community saying the team will address the outcry and they’ll try and find out exactly what happened.

#4 In the back and forth game, the Cardinal were able to manage a 79-67 win.
