On Headline Sports with Tony:

#1 The NFL has ordered all players to stand during the national anthem. They must stand at full attention respectfully, and if these orders are not followed, the NFL will fine the respective team. The NFL players’ union said they might consider appealing the new policy.

#2 Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown was stopped by the Milwaukee Police for a parking violation. The police on video ordered Brown to back up the video showed Brown cooperating, but when other officers showed up the initial officer said that Brown got in his face–a lie, which was not in the video–and didn’t show Brown getting aggressive. Brown was then tased by the police as five to six other officers arrived. The Milwaukee police have disciplined the police officers who handled the incident. Tony answers the question had it not been for Brown being a player, would this had been a story?

#3 The Vegas Golden Knights now in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, a first for any first-year expansion team in any sport. Tony answers how they’ll do against the Washington Capitals in the NHL Finals.

#4 San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster’s charges have been dropped and will now be able to join the 49ers. Foster’s ex-girlfriend said there was no domestic abuse and that she had been in a fight with two other women the day before Foster was arrested. Foster has been charged by the Santa Clara DA’s office for possession of a illegal firearm dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor.

#5 The Golden State Warriors will face the Houston Rockets tonight in Game 5 in Houston. The series is tied 2-2. Tony answers the question if this series is unpredictable at this point.

On the A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

The Oakland A’s have the sixth best record in Major League Baseball since April 15th an indication that they’ve had lots of improvement over the last month. The A’s have won six of their last eight and are at 25-23.

The A’s haven’t hit a home run in their last five home games but on the road they homered in each of their last 14 games. The A’s really had a successful road trip going 1-2 in New York, 2-1 in Boston, and 4-0 in Toronto.

The A’s 7-3 on the last road trip something no one would have expected after having a tough homestand with Houston before leaving on the trip. The A’s have compiled the third lowest ERA in baseball after the seventh inning for a 3.36 ERA. They’re getting key pitching to win in the late innings.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca and Morris Phillips: Giants two below .500, but are only two games out of first place

On the Giants podcast with Michael and Morris:

Giants outfielder Mac Williamson who is missed and has missed about three weeks since his concussion injury. When Williamson was in the lineup, he hit some of the hardest hit balls on the team at that time. On Tuesday night, it was the 17th time in 49 games that the Giants have struck out 10 times.

Hard hit balls, strikeouts, the Giants are two games under .500. It might suggest that their not getting the most out of their hard hit balls. There’s a lot of contrary things going on with the Giants’ statistics.

This could be the season that baseball surpasses its previous strikeout record. Clubs are striking out at a fast pace. The Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer is on a pace to reach 100 strikeouts at the fastest pace in the history of the game.

The game is changing there’s no doubt about it and if the Giants can get through April and May if they can get within hailing distance of the division leaders.  The Giants are still within hailing distance after tonight’s game as they are trailing first place Colorado and Arizona by two games. ‘

On the NHL Stanley Cup playoff podcast with Marko:

#1 After taking the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals the Washington Capitals confidentially arrived in Tampa Bay for Games 2 and 3 and saw their chances to breeze through this one go the wayside losing Games 3 and 4.

#2 In Game 6, the goaltender for the Caps Braden Holtby stopped all 24 of the Lightning’s shots for the shutout 3-0.

#3 The Caps’ TJ Oshie scored two goals on Monday night to help the Caps get a three-goal victory past the Lightning.

#4 Tampa Bay’s top lines couldn’t do anything with Washington’s peppered offense and the Lightning couldn’t get on the scoreboard.

#5 So a Game 7 is forced and the Lightning will have home ice. Marko gives us his take on who wins this series.

Golden State Warriors podcast with David Zizmor: Warriors look to take a 3-1 series lead after tonight; Rockets’ D’Antoni for tonight: “The pressure is on the Warriors”

On the Golden State Warriors podcast with Dave:

The Golden State Warriors who return back to Oracle Arena after their electric victory in Game 3 will host Game 4 tonight. The Warriors are up 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals can take a 3-1 series lead and be in a good position to clinch in Houston on Thursday in Game 5. Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni says that the pressure is on Golden State while Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says while D’Antoni is right the pressure also on the Rockets tonight.

The Warriors’ Kevin Durant has dominated in the playoffs and Stephen Curry has found his shot in the third game leading the Warriors to a one-game lead. The Rockets are aiming to key in on Durant and Curry, but the way the two have been lights out, it just might be too much to handle for Houston and the Warriors very likely could force a Game 5 tonight.

On the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff podcast with Len:

The Vegas Golden Knights continue to write sports history as they clinched Game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 on Sunday. The Knights got past the Sharks to start the second round of the playoffs.

Then knocked off Winnipeg 4-1 in Round 3. The Knights have been dubbed “a band of misfits” they were castoffs from different NHL teams and were expected to finish in the dumper as a first year expansion team. But as the Knights say in their pregame light show earlier in the series “The Impossible happened.”

At the beginning of the season, the Knights were 500-1 odds of making it to the Stanley Cup Finals and now here they are just waiting for either the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Washington Capitals to finish off their series as they play Game 6 tonight with Tampa Bay in a 3-2 lead.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris Phillips: Ex-Giant Romo starts his first career game; Belting them out of the yard, Belt with 3-run jack

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

@SFGiants photo: San Francisco Giant Brandon Belt goes yard for a three-run homer against the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park Sunday.

Morris Phillips on the SF Giants podcast:

Former San Francisco Giants pitcher Sergio Romo pitched in his first career start for the Tampa Bay Rays. Romo used as a closer or reliever in his Giants, Dodgers and now Rays days, pitched an inning plus no runs, walking two, and striking out three against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

Brandon Belt: Belt has been hitting the ball out of AT&T Park like he’s auditioning for the Hall of Fame. Belt hit another majestic home run this time a three run shot that helped put the Giants in the win column with a four-run 9-5 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Belt’s been hitting as hard as anyone else and getting as many home runs as he has in a short amount of time this has been an incredible ride for him.

Next up at AT&T: The Giants are off Monday, but will hit the road starting with Houston on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then they get another day off on Thursday 24th then open up a three-game series in Chicago on Friday night against the Cubs. Then they close out the road trip in Colorado next Monday night at Coors Field.
