On the MLB The Show podcast with Marko:

#1 The Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer and the Houston Astros’ Justin Verlander are all up for the Cy Young Awards. What impresses you most about the season that they”re having?

#2 The Oakland A’s and the Tampa Bay Rays are in need of new ball parks and it seems that their having complications of achieving those goals, whether it’s money, environmental impact reports working against them to develop, or being rejected for proposed site locations.

#3 Taking those points into consideration, do you see it possible that the Rays and A’s ownership at some point will realize they are stuck where their at, won’t spend any money at their present locations and just might be forced to sell their ball teams?

#4 Several cities have expressed interest in getting MLB clubs in Portland and Montreal top that list. How much of a possibility is it that these two clubs could move and go to those towns if they can’t get anything going for new stadium in either Oakland or Tampa Bay?

#5 The Giants, after having such huge success with the Philadelphia Phillies last weekend, came into Miami and lost the first two games against the Marlins. Was it a matter of not knowing how to chart the Marlins, was it bad scouting or the Giants were just off balance when they encountered the Fish going into this series?

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca and Morris Phillips: Giants drop two straight to last place Marlins; Marlins staffed with lots of unknowns

Miami Marlins pitcher Trevor Richards pitches during the second inning of a Major League Baseball game against the San Francisco Giants at Marlins Park on Tuesday, June 12, 2018. David Santiago dsantiago@miamiherald.com

On the SF Giants podcast with Michael and Morris:

You could have predicted that the San Francisco Giants would have gone into Miami playing in front of nobody, playing a bunch of guys they’ve never faced before. It seems to be a characteristic of this franchise back to the days of former Giants pitcher Charlie Lea–guys who haven’t beat anybody manage to notch their first Major League wins against the Giants.

It happened with the Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Richards, a 25-year-old right hander. The Marlins were 0-3 coming into the game. Richards walks the first two batters. Obviously, Richards is nervous if he walks the first two guys and gives up a run in the first inning without allowing a hit. Richards goes on to allowing just two hits, struck out three and walked two batters to win the ball game.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips: Crawford has a swing going that would make Rogers Hornsby proud

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

sfexaminer.com file photo: Brandon Crawford who went 4-4 on Sunday and just missed the cycle leads the Giants with a .326 average has been a force at the plate

On the Giants podcast with Morris Phillips:

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is swinging the bat that would make former Major Leaguer Rogers Hornsby proud. Hornsby was a Hall of Fame second baseman and shortstop that hit .350 career from 1915 to 1937. Crawford on Sunday hit .326 for this season.

Not an easy achievement Crawford was able to get his perfect 4-4 on Sunday off Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer is one of the best pitchers in the N.L. Crawford got a first inning single, Crawford also hit for a two-run home run, a double in the sixth, in the fourth at bat Crawford missed the cycle with a double with hit up the left field line.

Giants pitcher Derek Holland went five innings, three hits, walked two, struck out four, Holland is now 4-6. The Giants start a four-game series in Miami Monday night. The Marlins have struggled all season, but Morris gives his take on how he sees this series.

On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

The Los Angeles Angels reported that superstar Japanese pitcher Shohei Ohtani was placed on the D.L. on Friday night for a Grade 2 UCL strain. Ohtani was given a PRP and stem cell injection on Friday by Dr. Steve Yoon in Los Angeles. Dr. Yoon said that he would re-evaluate Ohtani’s progress in three weeks. If things don’t improve, Dr. Yoon and the Angels did mention Tommy John surgery could be in the equation.

The Washington Nationals’ star pitcher Stephen Strasburg has been suffering through shoulder inflammation. It was discovered on Friday night after pitching to the San Francisco Giants that Strasburg was having the shoulder problems.

The San Diego Padres have suspended pitcher Jose Torres for 100 games, which is being served retroactively. In December, in Phoenix, Torres broke down a locked door, punched a hole in another locked door and pointed a gun at his female roommate threatening to kill her.

Former MLB infielder and Philadelphia Phillie Lenny Dykstra is facing charges for making terrorist threats and possession of illegal drugs after threatening to shoot a Uber driver. Dykstra got into the car and wanted to change destinations. The driver told Dykstra to make the changes on his Uber app, but Dykstra took a pill bottle and put it behind the head of the driver and said he would blow his head off if he didn’t take him where he wanted to go. According to Dykstra, the driver was blowing through red lights and was driving to a police station where he told police he was threatened by Dykstra. Dykstra in turn charged the Uber driver for false imprisonment for keeping him in the car while he was being driven to the police station. Both are being criminally charged, respectfully.

Len also talks about playoff MVP Alex Ovechkin. Also, how the Caps just simply shut down the Knights’ game plan to take them out of the finals.

sfgate.com file photo: San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford had a break out month of May and has started out June with an extra innings game winning base hit on Wednesday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks

On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael:

The Giants’ run of six wins out of their last seven shows the team has come together like no other time of the season. Giants’ shortstop Brandon Crawford has had a great month of May and continues with a game-winning hit on Wednesday a 10th inning RBI single.

Manager Bruce Bochy said of Crawford, “We couldn’t have asked for a better hitter up there.” The Giants head on a nine-game road trip starting tonight in Washington. The Giants have a road record 12-20 and are looking to improve their record. With what’s happened lately, can the Giants do it?

Hunter Pence made his return on Wednesday with a hit in one at-bat. How much of an impact will he make now that he has returned?

@warriors photo: Golden State Warriors Kevin Durant takes the jumper who piled on 43 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night in game 4

Headline Sports podcast with Tony:

#1 The Warriors Stephen Curry had a off night with just 11 points and it was like one hand tied behind the Warriors back and they still were able to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night in game 3 110-102 at Quicken Loans Arena to take a 3-0 series lead.

#2 With Curry having an 11 point night the rest of the team’s starters Kevin Durant 43 points, seven assists, and 13 rebounds, Draymond Green, JaVale McGee and Klay Thompson each scored 10 points

#3 The Cavaliers who fell eight points short in the loss just couldn’t get over the hump at home past the Warriors. LeBron James scored 33 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds Kevin Love scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and Rodney Hood contributed 15 points off the Cavs’ bench.

#4 From Tony’s point of view when it comes down to it for game four on Friday night does Tony see the Warriors getting a sweep past the Cavs in Cleveland to end the finals.

#5 Green passed former LA Laker Wilt Chamberlain’s for rebounds for 923 rebounds in 100 games as Chamberlain had the 922 mark.
