San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca: Giants and Dodgers meet again end of September–will there be more bad blood?

On the Giants podcast with Michael:

How about Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen on Wednesday night? He hit a three-run home run that gave the Giants a lead that would soon end in a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. But, regardless, he is finding his swing, so look for more from McCutchen during the Cincinnati Reds series starting tonight.

In the rivalry series in LA, things got hot and somewhat out of control in the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s game in which the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig missed a pitch and tossed and caught his bat when Giants catcher Nick Hundley said something to Puig. Both players ended up in each other faces and Puig shoved Hundley. That emptied the benches and both Puig and Hundley were ejected. Michael will see if this a continued trend between the two teams?

Major League Baseball offices are sifting out what discipline will be given to Hundley and Puig. Puig was suspended for two games and fined. Hundley was also fined. Unless Puig appeals, he’ll begin the suspension today.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips and Michael Duca: Happy Days! Giants have now landed on the .500 mark 25 times this season

On the Giants podcast with Morris and Michael:

The San Francisco Giants have landed 25 times on the .500 mark this season and they are 61-61 after arriving the .500 mark that 25th time on Thursday night in a 12-inning, 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium. Which means they’ve been either one above or one game below, they haven’t been either four games above or under at all or at any point in the season.

The very definition of mediocrity and they are still in the pennant race. This division is still winnable even the wild card is a little bit difficult to obtain, but no one has run away with it; but the Giants are at the bottom of that list in order for them to move up with 40 games left, they’re going to have to win 30 of them.

On the A’s podcast with Jerry:

The Oakland A’s nearly got a three game sweep past the Seattle Mariners in a battle that lasted 12 innings on Thursday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum. In a pitchers duel, the entire ballgame went 0-0 until the bottom of the ninth when the M’s Dee Gordon lifted a two-run homer just over the center right field fence for the 2-0 lead and eventual win.

A pair of pitchers dueled it out in their starting performances the Seattle Mariners’ Mark Leake, who went eight innings, two hits and one walk, and for Oakland, Brett Anderson 7.2 innings, five hits, and two strikeouts. The A’s got excellent relief help from pitchers Lou Trevino, Fernando Rodney, and Jeurys Familia. A’s reliever Yusmerio Petit drew the short straw, giving up the two-run homer to Gordon for the 2-0 loss.

The A’s have the day off and get ready for the Astros on Friday night at the Coliseum.

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

Football returned to the Oakland Coliseum last Friday and with the return of head coach Jon Gruden and Tony takes a look at what that means to the players and the organization. Gruden–after nine years in the broadcast booth–said his return was awesome. He got to see some recognizable faces and some old friends.

Gruden pointed out after last Friday’s game against the Detroit Lions that the job is a big responsibility and was happy to help coach the Raiders to a 345-yard offensive evening against the Detroit Lions. Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch took a hand off from quarterback Derek Carr for a 60-yard carry. Though, it was called back for holding by Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller.

Raiders back up quarterback Connor Cook got some looks as he’s expected to step in for Carr if needed. Cook threw for 11-for-19, 141 yards against Detroit in his first preseason outing.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Marko Ukalovic: Puig and Hundley shoving empties benches, the Giants win second straight in LA

On the Giants podcast with Marko:

What started the Los Angeles Dodgers Yasiel Puig to shove the San Francisco Giants catcher Nick Hundley a couple of times after Puig tossed his bat up in the air and caught it after missing a pitch? Hundley told him in so many words to stop showboating and get back in the batter’s box.

Both Puig and Hundley were tossed out of the game that was tied 1-1 tensions were fueled in a tight contest but it was more the bat toss that got under Hundley’s skin. Puig was tossing his bat during Monday night’s game with the Giants Madison Bumgarner pitching.

It took the strength of four pitchers to keep the Dodgers off balance and off the base paths, but let’s start with the Giants’ starting pitcher Andrew Suarez–six-plus innings, two hits, three walks and four strikeouts. He looked good enough to complete the game.

The Dodgers have been faltering in the last couple of weeks and now find themselves in three-way battle for first place with the D-Backs and the Colorado Rockies.

The Giants and Dodgers close out this series tonight at Dodgers Stadium. The Giants’ Derek Holland (6-8) looks to get a sweep. In watching Holland in his last few games, can he help SF get that sweep?

Headline Sports with London Marq: What else will happen if Bonds gets elected to Hall of Fame?; How big was Terrell Owens’ mistake?; Braves’ Acuna accomplishes a great feat; plus more

On Headline Sports with London:

#1 Barry Bonds, who had his number retired by the San Francisco Giants last week, unofficially launches the campaign to have the former outfielder bid for the Hall of Fame. After all, that has been reported regarding steroid use by Bonds and his admitting to using the cream and the clear undetectable steroids unknowingly in grand jury testimony. If Bonds were elected to the Hall, will this also open the door to players like Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeriro and others to be voted into the Hall too?

#2 The A’s won their 21st one-run game of the season against the Seattle Mariners. They are now just one game back of the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West. The game was close and the M’s are trying to chase the A’s in the AL West for second, but the A’s now have taken two of the three game series from the Mariners.

#3 In football, people are still talking about how Terrell Owens broke with protocol and held his own Hall of Fame ceremony at his alma mater and not in Canton, Ohio at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How big of a mistake was that move?

#4 The Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna “Matata” Jr. is just having himself a time at the plate, homering in five consecutive games, three of those homers as a lead off hitter, accomplishing the feat that no other player has accomplished.

#5 The Oakland Raiders play game two of the preseason in LA against the Rams. The Raiders, who defeated the Detroit Lions 16-10 last Friday, face the Rams this Saturday. Talk about some of the things that head coach Jon Gruden will be looking for in this game and what does he expect out of his quarterback Derek Carr?

On the A’s podcast with Charlie O:

1) A’s fans now are talking about winning the Western Division, not just making the Wild Card Game. Is that a realistic goal for this Oakland team?

2) Last week, you said that August 10th to the 22nd were the 12 most important days of the 2018 season for the A’s. Do you still feel that way? How are they doing so far?

3) The Seattle Mariners have been on the move and are nipping at the A’s heels just 2.5 games back in the standings. On Tuesday night, the M’s got Robinson Cano back after his long suspension. What kind of impact will Cano make on his team?

4) A’s players are making appeals to fans to come out and see them play. Why aren’t the fans filling the seats at the Coliseum?

5) There is a group called the Portland Diamond Project that is drawing up plans for potential downtown ballparks in Portland. Should Bay Area fans be worried about that group?

6) The A’s announced on Tuesday the establishment of the Athletics Hall of Fame. What are thoughts about the concept and the Class of 2018?
