On the Warriors podcast with Dave:

This is the fourth consecutive time that these two teams the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors will meet for the NBA Finals and this is the first time that the same two teams meet in the NBA Finals for the most times four for the finals and it should be noted in major professional sports as well. To achieve such an accomplishment. this is a testimony to the Warriors and Cavaliers that both teams could get this far four times in row.

This is a testament about how successful how head coach Steve Kerr, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, who contributed in that mix. This has been an amazing team that the Warriors have put together this season. They had a game plan, a system that they bought into and selflessly contributed to.

That’s Amaury’s Podcast, News and Commentary: Oakland and Tampa Bay have similar business model situations; Both teams in need of new stadiums

OAKLAND–The Oakland A’s, who opened a four-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, started the series with the Rays at .500 on this current homestand. The A’s started the homestand against the Seattle Mariners, a very good team who is in second place followed by Arizona.

The M’s won two out of three from the slumping Minnesota Twins over the weekend. The A’s and Rays as far as front office organization situations are concerned are in the same boat. The attendance for both teams are low and their in two different divisions but similar at this time in history. Both teams are struggling in their current ball parks. They both are in need of getting new parks built. The A’s are looking to go to Jack London Square and build a waterfront park. The Rays want a waterfront park in Tampa Bay and want to get out of Tropicana Field in St Petersburg.

The A’s and Rays also speaking of sharing business models. It gets down to on the field and both teams also have bullpens on their home fields. They are two of three teams in MLB that have bullpens on the field, the Giants being the other. Bullpens on the field became an issue after the Giants outfielder Mac Williamson tripped on the AT&T bullpen mound and got a concussion in April.

I’m old-school. I like to see the bullpens on the field, baseball has changed. The fans still enjoy to see the bullpens and you like to see the pitchers warming up in the bullpens. When you broadcast a game, you can see whose loosening up. Some stadiums you don’t see whose warming up.
