On the SF Giants podcast with Miguel:

The San Francisco Giants–coming off a sweep in Colorado–came back to AT&T Park on Thursday night for a 10-game homestand. Michael takes a look how much the team was looking forward to coming back after getting swept in Colorado.

The Giants faced tough pitching from the Rockies. They couldn’t solve starter Tyler Anderson. Anderson went eight innings, two hits, allowed two walks, and nine strikeouts. A great line for a pitcher who kept the Giants off balance.

The Giants’ second baseman Brandon Crawford owns the NL Central. He’s hitting .517 (15-29) against the NL Central pitching. Crawford’s .517 clip is tops for any MLB player against any MLB division.

The Giants’ Derek Rodriguez gets another turn Friday. A great outing last Saturday. going 6.1 innings, five strikeouts, two walks, six hits and 102 pitches. Rodriguez was actually a desperation choice with Jeff Samardjiza and Johnny Cueto on the disabled list. Rodriguez really panned out during Samardjiza and Cueto’s absence for the Giants’ pitching staff.

Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Key players who Raiders will heavily depend for 2018

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony:

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in 2016 was 12-3, but broke his leg due to a sack, and in 2017, Carr suffered three broken bones in an injury. Can Carr avoid any set backs and stay healthy and how crucial will it be for the Raiders to have Carr healthy all season?

Marshawn Lynch running back was the best offensive running back in the second half of 2018. Lynch didn’t play in 2016, but came to the Raiders in 2017 and got his old self going and could be a great threat for the Raiders this season.

Amari Cooper receiver will try for better consistency this season after having troubles on the field and with injuries. Cooper had 470 yards, 37 catches, and five touchdowns.

Khalil Mack, an edge rusher, was the NFL’s defensive player of the year in 2015. Since he stayed away from mini camp 2018, will he have the impact that’s expected of him for this season?

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry:

A’s pitcher Sean Manaea had a strong performance against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday at the Oakland Coliseum. The A’s got the 4-2 win. Manaea went seven innings, two runs, and four hits. A’s manager Bob Melvin likes what Manaea has done in the number one starting role in the rotation.

The A’s continue to roll with their eighth win out of their last nine games. The A’s have won 14 of their last 17 games. The A’s are winning games when they’re behind and A’s hitter Stephen Piscotty was clutch, hitting a two-run double to put the A’s ahead of the Padres in the eighth inning.

The A’s have the day off Thursday and head onto Progressive Field for the start of a three-game series in Cleveland. The A’s will start Paul Blackburn (2-2 ERA 6.46) against Carlos Carrasco (8-5 ERA 4.24) for Cleveland.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca and Morris Phillips: After sweeping Arizona, Giants get swept by Colorado

On the SF Giants podcast with Michael and Morris:

The Giants, who swept the Arizona Diamondbacks on this road trip, and who would have thought that would happen? In the month of June, the Giants were on the biggest rollercoaster there is and they swept the D-Backs and Giants’ pitcher Dereck Rodriguez has pitched great 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA and it’s not a place a Giants baseball team go to win a series, let alone swept a series.

Then, the Giants went to Denver and dropped the first two games to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field and it was kind of surprising fashion that they got five hits each night. That’s not going to be enough hits. The Giants get a home run and then it’s just four hits for the rest of the ballgame.

You saw those gaps in the lineups–guys were going O-fors. It’s the biggest mystery going why a veteran baseball team can’t win road games to be this poor on the road and lose 8-1 on Tuesday night. It’s a head scratcher.

San Francisco Giants’ Wednesday game wrap: Iannetta’s HR sinks Giants 1-0

By Jeremy Harness

There were fireworks going off all around the country on the 4th of July, to celebrate this nation’s independence.

However, none of the fireworks came from the Giants’ bats, and they sure weren’t free Wednesday night, as Tyler Anderson stifled the Giants in a 1-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, completing a three-game sweep at the hands of their National League West rivals.

Anderson (6-3) went eight innings and surrendered only two hits while allowing only two walks against nine strikeouts.

Andrew Suarez (3-5) was not that bad, either. In fact, he surrendered five hits and struck out six batters while not walking anyone while going seven strong innings. It was his best outing of the season.

However, one mistake in the seventh inning proved to be his undoing. Chris Iannetta laid into a wayward pitch from Suarez and sent it over the left-field wall, hugging the foul pole in the process.

The umpiring crew reviewed the home run, but the visual evidence was too great, and the home run was upheld. The Giants could not recover from the blow and could not solve Anderson, and although they got a hot off him, could not break through against closer Wade Davis, who collected his 25th save of the year.

The Giants will not lick their wounds and come home to face the St. Louis Cardinals for a four-game series at AT&T Park.

On the SF Giants podcast with Marko:

The Giants dropped their second game to the Colorado Rockies in the series 8-1 on Tuesday night. The Giants were dominated by Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela, who went seven innings, no runs, three hits, no walks and four strikeouts. The Rockies’ Charles Blackmon had three hits and a triple, Trevor Story hit a triple, Nolan Arenado hit his 22nd home run and the Rockies have won five of their last six games.

Giants pitcher Chris Stratton was rocked for eight runs, 11 hits, in 5.2 innings of work. Game three is tonight at Coors Field as the Giants try to avoid the sweep in Colorado.

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Charlie O:

Rally caps paid off at the Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday night as the Oakland A’s got five runs in the sixth inning to beat the San Diego Padres 6-2 to start this brief two-game series. A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt didn’t pitch quite as well as he did on the last road trip (he threw a shutout), but two runs, seven hits, two runs, six hits in 4.2 innings was not a bad outing.

Jed Lowrie hit a bases loaded three-run double and picked up his 25th double of the season with 59 RBIs. Mark Canha has proven to be a tough out he’s on an 11-game hit streak and has reached base in 12 straight games.

The A’s will start pitcher Sean Manaea (8-6). The Padres have announced they’ll start Luis Perdomo (1-2).

Golden State Warriors podcast with David Zizmor: DeMarcus didn’t have much patience with his former head coaches and the media when in Sacramento

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

streamingaddict.net file photo: Former Sacramento King DeMarcus Cousins had his moments of disagreements with the writers, media, and officials. What will he be like with Golden State.

On the Golden State Warriors podcast with David Zizmor:

With the Warriors brass looking at the LeBron James move to Los Angeles, did the Warriors feel obligated to make a counter move? Not necessarily. The Warriors two seasons ago are a team that ended up winning 73 games and built on their success and ended up going after Kevin Durant. It’s how every season they would go into the free agency period and find guys who are going to make an immediate impact on this team.

The Warriors are never going to stop they’re going to look into free agency this season and they did it they found that not one NBA team looked at DeMarcus Cousins. The reporting was that Cousins, who didn’t get any calls, basically said the two teams he was interested in were the Warriors and the Celtics. They were the two teams who had the best chances of making the championship finals. Cousins agent literally called up the Warriors and inquired about coming to Golden State and here he is.

DeMarcus’ past with officials and head coaches:
Cousins didn’t have much patience for officials and was continuously at the top of the charts for technical fouls after getting called for fouls when he played with the Sacramento Kings. Cousins had a hard time trying to control his emotions on the court. I also attended one of the Warriors-Pelicans games and Cousins had previous run ins with some of his former coaches when at the Kings and instead of the Kings trading Cousins that head coach would end up being fired.

Physically, he has the tools and the skill set to take the center position and he’s got that talent that very few in the NBA centers have and in the history of the league. He can also get out to the three-point line and hit a three. Cousins is a fantastic skills player. He just can’t keep his head in the game long enough to maximize his impact.

Dave takes a look how crucial is it for 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to get line protection and time to throw the football this season. Talk about the expectations of cornerback Richard Sherman and his coming off an Achilles injury.

Sherman, 30, at cornerback will be crucial for the 49ers in role and can he provide the same kind of performance that he had when he was in Seattle now that he’s playing in Santa Clara and help the 49ers get to the postseason.
