Jason dumas says here with the latest racing. Thats right catherine it feel so odd to say this in mid july but were just a week away from mlbs opening day and while prepandemic the giants didnt have much of any expectations. The new shortened season has given me the sense that all teams feel like they have a much better shot of making the playoffs. The giants have held intersquad scrimmage is over the past few days young guys like catcher joey bart have impressed some of the best but all signs still point to bart not being in the mix for the opening day roster. All in all its been a good get odd camp for the giants things are clearly different giving everything thats going on in our society and just like everyone, the giants they are just trying to adapt. Creativity. From every corner of the organization. The as of business as a Baseball Organization are doing just that. And on the field year. Youre seeing us try to try to be as creative as possible to get our players ready ready for the season. Now over in oakland expectations are much higher this is a team that has 2 straight postseason appearances, theres a feeling that this year they can get over the hump especially during a time where the astros who have ruled that division are playing under a cloud of controversy that cheating scandal. Like the giants the as had a intrasquad game today that went 8 innings and manager bob melvin was impressed with his teams plate appearances, but it felt kerr compared what weve been planned, but. Were getting lots of wood thats i mean some guys got 5 at bats yesterday which was good. Which means were you know right around 20 was some of these guys over 20 actually now so. Comfortable with where we are as far as the bats are going. The giants and as will actually play a twogame pre Season Series starting on monday. The first game is in oakland and then tuesday, theyll play in San Francisco. And like i said next thursday is opening day so sports theyre about to come back here in the bay area. Thats your look at sports back to you catherine all right a lot of people cant wait. Thank you jason coming up next.
