On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

#1 Talk about taking one for the team on Friday night! San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey took one for the team as the Arizona Diamondbacks Paul Goldschmidt hit a foul tip right into Posey’s mask. It rung Posey’s head so much that he had to be helped to the dugout by the trainer. Posey might be in his closing days as a catcher.

#2 The Seattle Mariners have completely derailed! They lost their fourth straight game and dropped the first two games of this four game series with the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2. The M’s are now 1 1/2 games back of the A’s for the AL Wild Card race.

#3 The Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers had a 2017 World Series reunion with the Astros taking the first game of the series 2-1 on Friday night. The Astros’ starter Justin Verlander struck out 14 hitters to keep the Dodgers under control.

#4 The Chicago Cubs continued their winning ways with a one-run win over the San Diego Padres 5-4. The Cubs are holding onto first place in the NL Central with a one-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs’ Javier Baez hit his 23rd home run of the season, tying Baez’ all time best for homers.

#5 The Oakland A’s Ramon Laureano got a walkoff base hit that won it for the A’s in 13 innings as the A’s shutout the Detroit Tigers 1-0. The A’s continued to pour it on being the hottest team in baseball. The A’s are only five games back in the AL West of the Atlanta Braves.

Oakland A’s podcast with Joey Friedman: A’s now tied with M’s in the Wild Card; look to put some pressure on the first-place Astros

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Joey:

The Oakland A’s open a three-game set at the Oakland Coliseum starting Friday night with the Detroit Tigers. These are not your 2012 Tigers who went to the World Series that season. The aging Bengals have Miguel Cabrera out with a torn triceps and Victor Martinez is near the end of his career.

The Tigers’ best hitter is Nick Castellanos, who was on the American League All-Star team, and the most potent hitter on the club. The Tigers’ dealing of former pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander certainly impacted the Tigers’ rotation and it really hasn’t recovered since then. The Tigers are 47-62 and 13 games out of first place in the AL Central.

The A’s are the hottest team in the Majors, winning 30 of their last 37 games and coming off a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. The A’s improved to second place in the wild card race, catching the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. The A’s made up for an 11-game deficit, coming all the way back to catch the M’s.

Tonight, the Tigers will start Blake Hardy (4-3, 3.61 ERA), and for the A’s, Brett Anderson (2-3, 5.51 ERA).

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca: MadBum works D-Backs’ lineup to correct loaded situation

On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Miguel:

Madison Bumgarner had himself a night pitching against the Arizona Diamondbacks for the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night. Bumgarner loaded the bases twice once in the first inning and in the second inning. Bumgarner worked his way out of it each time and he said during the postgame presser that he had to work twice as hard to work his way out of each of those jams.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Bumgarner did a great job keeping the Diamondbacks at bay with just one run in the ball game and Bumgarner showed his focus, zeroed in, and kept the Diamondbacks from doing any further damage.

The Giants now have lost two key players. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval to a hamstring injury. Sandoval will be lost for the entire 2018 season.

“It’s just that he played there, but the job he did. The guy did everything. This is a tough one to overcome.” said Bochy.

The Giants’ Johnny Cueto, who is undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, is also a loss for the 2018 season.

The Giants, who won their fifth straight game, will go for number six tonight at Chase Field in the second of this four game series . The Giants are just five games out of first place and will start Chris Stratton (8-6). For the Diamondbacks, Patrick Corbin (7-4).

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Day four of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic was a big day for American tennis star Venus Williams, who is commonly known as one of the all-time greats and the older sister of Serena Williams. The well-known lady made her 2018 MSVC debut at the Spartan Tennis Complex on Thursday.

Here are the results of Thursday’s matches:

Ladies Singles — Round 2
ROU’s Mihaela Buzarnescu defeated USA’s Amanda Anisimova by a final score of 7-5, 2-6, 6-1.

GRE’s Maria Sakkari had a nearly perfect match when she held HUN’s Timea Babos to just one game in a 6-0, 6-1 victory.

AUS’ Ajla Tomljanovic crushed POL’s Magdalena Frech in a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 victory.

Apparently, the Mubadala SVC saved the best for last in Thursday’s round of matches, as USA’s Venus Williams took on GBR’s Heather Watson in three hard-fought sets in which Williams won 6-4, 4-6, 6-0.

Notes
Madison Keys withdrew from her day match vs. Ajla Tomljanovic due to a right wrist injury. Lucky loser Magdalena Frech replaced Keys.

“I am really sorry to have to pull out of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic,” said Keys. “I have been feeling pain in my wrist over the last couple of days and felt worse today. This event is one of my favorites and I was looking forward to playing here in San Jose, but want to thank the San Jose State University and Mubadala for pulling it together in such a short amount of time. I am excited to come back next year and play in front of your great fans.”

Danielle Collins signed autographs at 12 pm PDT in the retail booth. Also, Elise Mertens signed autographs in the Mubadala booth.

The MSVC gave a shoutout to one of their sponsors, Togo’s Sandwiches, and suggested on Twitter that pastrami-loving fans should visit a local Togo’s at 1430 Monterey Rd, 779 Story Rd or 4th & San Carlos and try their new Pretzelrami. Togo’s has been creating filling sandwiches since 1971.

Headline Sports podcast with London Marq: Did Urban Meyer know about the domestic abuse all along?; MLB players need to do tangible things to prove they’ve moved past racist tweets; plus more

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the Headline Sports podcast with London Marq:

#1 How much did Ohio State’s former head coach Urban Meyer know about his assistant coach Zach Smith’s domestic abuse towards his ex-wife Courtney Smith? Enough says Smith. She said she was friends with Meyer’s wife and addressed these issues to her and also knew for a fact that Meyer knew domestic abuse was going on with Smith attacking his wife.

#2 How will this impact and damage the Ohio State program as the regular season kicks off at the end of this month? With Meyer on on paid leave and Smith gone, will this scare off recruits and students planning to attend Ohio State this school year?

#3 The New York Yankees’ Sonny Gray said his racist tweets in 2012 were just an “inside joke.” Gray says he doesn’t feel that way today and that was something he was joking around with with a friend. Gray got booed during his last appearance for not only pitching bad, but heard fans calling him out about his racist tweets as he was smiling and leaving for the dugout after being pulled.

#4 In just a week, four MLB players with four racist tweets, Milwaukee Brewers’ Josh Hader, Atlanta Braves’ Sean Newcomb, Washington Nationals’ Trea Turner, and Gray had racist tweets uncovered. The question is, would these four players prove that their not racists now by taking on issues in the community by asking publicly “why isn’t there enough African Americans in Major League Baseball?” or “Why do most MLB teams not travel their Spanish play-by-play radio announcers and just have them limited to just home games or just weekend broadcasts?” These would be considered tangible projects. These players can take on if they were really sorry about what they said.

#5 EA Sports apologized for editing out the name of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick out of the Madden 19 NFL game in Big Sean’s song “Big Bank.” Sean had tweeted that Kaepernick’s name was left out of the game song that he lent to. EA Sports did a “oops my bad” and said they would put Kaepernick’s name back into the song, going forward with the new editions of the EA Madden 19 games starting August 6th.

Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Will the Raiders deal Khalil Mack?; Mack was a hold out, but Gruden wants him back in camp

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony:

Khalil Mack was a hold out during training camp, and on Wednesday, the top story coming out of the Oakland Raiders was putting Mack on the trade block. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said last season Mack didn’t even pick off a pass until the 14th week of the season.

Gruden went on to say that the Raiders weren’t very good on defense last season. Gruden was hoping that Mack gets back in camp. Gruden said the Raiders need a better pass rush. The Raiders finished in the bottom 10 in the NFL on defense. The question is–will the Raiders trade Mack?

Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg: Manaea has good control in A’s win over Jays; A’s get good pitching and offense in sweep

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry:

The Oakland A’s Sean Manaea picked up win #10 (10-7) as he didn’t surrender a run on five Toronto Blue Jay hits, going six innings, one run earned, and five strikeouts. Manaea had a lot of his pitches working for him on Wednesday to keep the Blue Jays off balance and was also able to keep runners off base.

A’s reliever JD Wendelken came in to relieve for Manaea in the seventh loaded the bases, but got the third out and came away unscathed except for one run in the 8-3 five-run win for Oakland. Part of the success for the A’s in July was their lineup hit consistently with an average of .290. They were able to make a number of comebacks in late innings.

The A’s have Thursday off and have three games with the Detroit Tigers at the Coliseum starting Friday night. For the Tigers, Blaine Hardy (4-3), and for the A’s, Brett Anderson (2-3), to open the series.
