Matt cain, a long time star in the pitching rotation in the unfamiliar spot of trying to make this stat, this is a big start for him tonight. This is game 22 of the giants spring training, for matt cain, this is when he starts to stretch things out. They wanted him to go four, five innings st s tonight. His last outing he said im very, very close. He has not had a good spring, he needs a good start tonight. Michael morse making his first start in the outfield and Jimmy Rollins in the outfield. Jimmy rollins, veteran, former mvp, trying to make this team as well. Stay tuned. Well be back. The giants and the rockies, a Cactus League friendly back with the lineups and the fist pitch aft first pitch after this. Welcome back to Cactus League baseball. Your San Francisco giants are taking on the colorado rockies. Fans looking tonight at Jimmy Rollins because Brandon Craw Ford is competing in the world baseball classic. He said while his focus is on team usa right now, hes checking giants box scores every single day, his focus is clear for this season, a World Championship. Up to jon and mike. Jon thanks for that update, amy. Im jon miller along with mike krukow. Jimmy rollins at shortstop. And lets look at the rockies batting order. Charlie blackmon in center. Lemahieu at stek base. Trevor story, shortstop. Jordan paterson at first base. Cardullo in right. Pat valaika at third. Tapia in left field. Tony wolters the catcher. And here is matt cain ready to work. First pitch on the inside. Called strike. Mike everitt is the home plate umpire. It is twilight time, mike, with the infield mostly covered in the shadows. Back drop lit up in the bright sun. Along the leftfield line this could be trouble in the foul ground. No. Eduardo nunez gave a long run for it. Not quite. Mike on the hill tonight for the giants, the 11year veteran, matt cain. His fifth start. The spring has not gone the way he wanted it go. 10 1 3, given up 11 earned runs. Tonight is taking on a more important start for him. He needs to start Getting Better command of his fastball. He will be around the 90s with the fastball. Curveball, cutter and changeup. They are trying to get him to extend out around 75 pitches tonight. Four, five innings. This is a big outing for matt cain. Not often you say that about an 11year veteran, cain knows the deal. He needs a good outing. Jon that curveball tapped foul. Dropped down and in, out of the strike zone. 02 to Charlie Blackmon hitting. 462 in the springtime. This is a guy whos established himself as a very fine leadoff man. Hit 29 home runs hitting leadoff last year. Up the First Base Side foul. Handled by tony diaz, the First Base Coach for the rockies. Matt cain in his st. Patricks day cap, which we modeled during our oncamera open. Its a good one. Of all the st. Patricks day hats theyve had over the years, i think this one is the best. Waiting for blackmon to get back in the batters box is matt cain. Base hit left center. Able to cut it off is gorkys hernandez. Mike lets look at the giants defensively. From left to right, Michael Morse out in left field. Joined by gorkys hernandez, hunter pence. Jimmy rollins and eduardo nunez. Hill and belt on the right side. Hundley will be in the squat putting down the signs. Jon you get a look at center field, the hitters back drop which is in play. Thats about 35, 37 feet high. 430 feet from home plate. D. J. Lemahieu now. National league batting champion last year. Count is 01. Mike pretty begin conditions at the ballpark tonight. No wind at all. Hot afternoon, hitting the 90s. Just sort of feels like the evening is calming down, but a great night to play. Jon there you see the flag in deep center. This could be two. Hill, rollins, double play. Brandon belt takes the throw at first. Couple of longtime veterans, aaron hill and Jimmy Rollins out there handling the double play. The two have many, many veterans with minor league contracts this spring. Mike ground ball, nice twohopper at the belt to aaron hill. You have Jimmy Rollins and aaron hill, theyve been around a long time, as would Michael Morse. You wouldnt know it around the batting cage. Lots of energy, lots of life, lots of fun. This is not just a job to these guys. Jon story had a grade beginning of his season last year. Hit seven home runs the beginning of the season. Kept hitting them, then got hurt. Missed the last couple months of the season. He gets a single to center. Ended up with 27 home runs last year. Less than twothirds of a season. Pretty impressive. Story, he wont sneak up on anybody this year. They know everything about him now. He only played 97 games last year, mike. 27 homers. He looked like a guy who was going to hit 40something homers for the year until he got hurt. Here now is jordan paterson. The cleanup hitter. Rockies acquired ian desmond remember ian desmond in the National League was a shortstop for the Washington Nationals and a pretty good one. Signed as a free agent last year with texas in the american league. Played mostly center field for the rangers. Had a very strong year. The rockies acquired him in the off season and wanted him to play first base. 11 the count to paterson. He got hit with a pitch the other day, broke a bone in his hand. So he will open the season on the disabled list now. Mike they originally said 6 to 8 weeks which is the normal time for a broken bone to heal, but they think it will come back quicker. Jon there goes story. Shallow right center. Aaron hill in the sunshine now, inning over. Matt cain couple of hits but gets through it nicely. Nunez, hill and hunter pence coming up. Jon beautiful night here in the valley of the sun. As we look at the giants batting order. Eduardo nunez, aaron hill at second base. Hunter pence in right field. Michael morse left field. For the first time this spring hitting cleanup. Brandon belt, nick hundley, Jimmy Rollins hitting seventh. Gorkys hernandez the center fielder. Mike on the hill tonight for the rockies, young lefthander Harrison Musgrave. He was an eighth round pick by the rockies in 2014. Not going to impress you with velocity but moves the ball around well. Everywhere hes been in the minor leagues, hes won. Jon thats ball one to eduardo nunez. Nunez, who had some soreness in his shoulder when the Cactus League schedule began and was limited to designated hitter duties. Towards the middle. Lemahieu. One away. Nunez has been back in there playing second base for the last week, ten days. Mike the rockies defensively, tapia, blackmon and cardullo. Story and lemahieu, musgrave, and nunez, fast catcher, very athletic. Jon he had an impressive rookie season last year. Splitting time with a guy who is a giant now, nick hundley. Aaron hill,. 320 for the spring. Ball one off the outside. Mike wolters will probably be the opening day catcher for these rockies. Tom murphy is injured. Had a lot of significant injuries in this rockies camp this spring. As you mentioned, ian desmond with the broken hand. Chat bettis, starting pitcher, battling taking some chemotherapy for some cancer. We all wish him the best. Jon pitched one time and then they found a cancerous body in the testicular area. And that is what hes up against now. Having to start chemotherapy very shortly. So we do send off along our prayers and best wishes to chad bettis, always has been impressive against the giants. Last year he ended up winning 14 games for the rockies. Hill, thats on the outside. 32. Mike the other significant injury is david dahl, one of their outfielders, has a rib injury. The rockies trying to overcome the injuries. This is a talented team. A team the giants will not take lightly. We thought last year the giants were the best defensive team in the west. You can see buddy black. Jon foul tip off the edge of wolters glove. Buddy black, former san diego padre manager. A giants pitcher for four seasons. 1991 through 94. He was padres manager for a long time. A lot of people shocked that he got fired by the padres. Mike that includes us. Jon along the leftfield li line. In foul ground. Hill, after a long battle, is retired. Two down. Mike bud black is known for pitching. He was the pitching coach for the angels when the angels won the World Championship in 2002. Became a big League Manager with the padres. Built a great bullpen, good staff over there. Thats what hes expected to do with this rockies organization. They have a lot to of good, young talented arms. A lot in the rotation that will be very important if the rockies are going to do well this year that the starting staff with a lot of youth on it gets an experienced young bullpen. 01 to mike pence. Mike pence with a couple doubles. Has a new look. What do you think . Is that beard starting the process of growing back in now . It is. Here is valaike. Thats all for the giants. Matt cain will go back to work. 00 after one. Mike celebrate st. Patricks day with two giant offers. Get 17 tickets for Irish Heritage night, go. Jon matt cain back to work. Michael cardullo, young righthanded hitter with power. Mat valaika and tapia to follow. 333 average for the Cactus League so far for cardullo. 20. The rockies share a spring training park with the diamondbacks, four miles from here, just up the street a bit in scottsdale. That ballpark, the die machine shuns are not nearly dimension are not nearly as expansive as here. Here 430 to center. 360 down the leftfield line. I asked about they dont list the die machine shun to right field. And guys who pitch here said right field . About 220. Mike seems that way. You dont have to have a strong wind to hit it out to right field. Lots of carry to that side of the field. Used to be so much fun watching barry bonds take batting practice in this yard. He would hit them where they would disappear into the night. Jon cain misses with the slow curveball off to the inside. 32 to cardullo. Mike key for kaine tonigcai dont be so concerned about velocity as you are location. Jon 88mileperhour fast ball. Were used to cain being over 90 miles per hour, when he was much younger, way over 90 miles per hour. Is that concerning to you, the 88mileperhour . Mike no, its not. If he can pinpoint it both sides of the plate jon base hit to left. Mike he can get people out. We talk about hitting what is hitting . Its timing. What is pitching . Upsetting the timing. Thats what he has to rely upon now. Mixing speeds, location and movements. Its in there. He knows hes close. He also feels when he gets more mechanically sound he will add some velocity. Before, he was trying to overthrow, now hes what Dave Righetti has convinced him of, throw at a speed you can control it. Dont worry about the velocity. Control yourme movement. Control your location. Jon here is valaika. 01 the count. What about the fact hes come down here for years, as a proven, dependable member of the rotation, working himself into shape, now hes actually trying to win a spot. Is that a tough adjustment to make when youre a veteran and you havent been in that mode since you were really a rookie . Pence gave chase there. Its out of play. Mike its what professional baseball is all about. Its talent. What you have done in the past has no bearing on what youre about to do. The season youre about to go into. Every year you come into spring training you have to prove it to yourself before you can move it to your manager, pitching coach, teammates and opponent. Its something that renews every year. He welcomes the challenge. He really does. Hes not afraid of it. Jon high and tight. Fastball with a lot of movement running up and in to valaika. Mike its the story with every pitcher. You will come in with a gunful of bullets. When you go out, you wont have much. What you get by with is what you learned along the way. You learned how to read hitters, learned how to pitch. You learned how to change speeds and movements. Jon right center field. Caught by gorkys hernandez. Hit right off the end of the bat by valaika and hernandez had an easy time getting to it. One away. Mike if you pitch long enough, eventually it will happen to every pitcher. Unless youre nolan ryan. Jon nolan ryan, he was 46 and still throwing 94, 95mileperhour fastballs. Mike cant even explain that. Jon mautd Witt Williams who in with the giants originally in the last couple months of the 2005 season, 12 years ago, a staple in the rotation for years after that. Tapia. This is a guy who impressed the giants when they first saw him. He came up from the miners midseason last year. He got speed and creates a lot of difficulties for the defense. 265 so far this spring. A sharp foul right past tony diaz, the First Base Coach. The ball dude handles it. One ball, one strike. Mike in regards to cain, just one more point. When you come into the big leagues like he did at age 20 throwing fastballs across the letters, which is rare, that was his signature. Fastball. He was as macho as you could imagine at age 20. Now hes a different pitcher, completely. Jon changeup. 12. Fooled him. Mike in a way, its as rewarding, maybe a bit more rewarding when youre able to get guys out throwing changeups, swinging at balls in the dirt. You think of yourself as a pitcher, not a thrower. Dave righetti, 18th year as the giants pitching coach. Jon ball and two strikes to tapia. Thats a base hit into right center. Into the gap. Hunter pence cant quite get to it. A run will score on this one. Cardullo in to score and into third already, he was into third before cardullo crossed the plate, raimel tapia showing off that speed. 10 colorado. Mike i think cains read on tapia is that he has len gth to his swing. Just a leak out over the plate, and now all of a sudden it becomes a gift. Tapia, to his credit, does not miss the cookie. Jon a triple for tapia. Watch him run. Mike he was hitting three bags right out of the box. Jon hes at third, one out. Here is wolters. Giants infield comes in in the second inning. Ball one to wolters. Tapias first triple of the spring base hit. Right through the drawnin infield. Just a little bouncer by wolters. Tapia scores. 20 colorado. Mike thats the problem. Infield drawn in with a runner at third base, less than two outs, you lose range. In arizona, where the infields are hard, you just done have a lot of margin of error. Jon heres the pitcher, Harrison Musgrave now. Touched up for a couple runs in this inning. Musgrave already showing bunt. Foul. Charging in from third was nunez who was very shallow to begin with. Belt, he had to hold against the runner. The pitch was thrown, then he came rushing in. Musgrave from west virginia. 61 25 years old. You wouldnt be surprised based on the way his trajectory has been in the minor leagues, to see him in the big leagues sometime this year. Brandon belt goes to second. Just in time. Not in time at first. Off the glove of hill any way, but also too late. Musgrave runs pretty well, as you saw. He runs into a force play. Mike not many first basemen in an inning, already allowed two, one out, you would take this gamble to get the lead runner. This is a close play. Wolters has good speed for a catcher. Hes not a guy you think im going to second because hes slow. That was a great throw. Jon looked to me like an excellent call by the umpire, chris siegel. Is that chris siegel or ramon dejesus. Two umpires on the base tonight. Strike one to Charlie Blackmon. The lead off man. Runner at first, two down, two in for the rockies. One ball one strike. Mike one thing when you transition as a pitcher from a hard thrower to a guy who has an average or slightly below average fastball, you have to rely on movement an location. You have to be aggressive. You have to get strike one. The tendency is to anybodyinibb. Jon aaron hill, takes his time. Inning over. Rockies go ahead 20. Michael morse, brandon belt coming up for the giants. We dont know what this thing is, but someday, gus will because this is the thing that gus will build that will change the world. And this is the thing that could change gus world. Gus doesnt know what this thing is, but we know what this thing is. This is the thing well help gus get rid of. And without this thing, gus can grow up to build this thing, whatever that thing is, because thats what we do. We do health things, and we do those things for northern california, birthplace of pioneers. Jon giants baseball brought to you by toyota. Incredible savings at every toyota. Visit buytoyota. Com. Toyota, lets go places. Still a lot of giants in camp. 71 when the Cactus League schedule began. Still 47 are here. Nearly half of them pitchers or catchers. 17 are not on the giants 40man roster. Theyve already set out on several guys who are on the 40man roster. They have many guys with Major League Experience or long minor league experience, including this face, Michael Morse. Mike a lot of pressure with every game, every about theed about the he takes. You just dont sense it around him. You feel like hes having the time of his life and playing with horse money. Thhouse money. Musgraves. And morse hits one high in the air to left center. Playable. Blackmon. One away. Now lets go to amyg. I have madison bumgarner. Good to see you, really nice to see your last outing where you were looking pretty good on the mound. Coach gave you the ultimate compliment saying youre ready to go. What do you want to work on between now and opening day . It did feel good last time out. Just as long as each game, each time were out there it feels a little better, little better. By the time were done here, your arm is in shape to throw 100 plus pitching, keep that sharpness and crispness on your stuff. Thats really all youre looking for during spring or me any ways. You guys have been missing two key components with buster posey and Brandon Crawford in the world baseball classic. You have a lot of time with nick hundley. How is that relationship been developing . You know, we have to do that. Its much easier to do it now than during the regular season. Its good that its working out that way. Everybody is getting familiar with him. Hes a really good catcher. He knows the league. Hes smart. Works hard. Thats what you want. I will throw duane kuiper under the bus. I was talking to him before the game. He would like to know if you think buster is jealous that youre getting so much time with nick. No, hes probably happy about it. Its good to watch those guys. Theres some good competition going down and the difficult decision of bruce bochy. You have to feel confident with whatever he goes with on opening day. Yeah. It will be hard to make that decision. Im glad im not in his shoes. You know, its like you said, theres no wrong decision. So its just going to be tough. Even though it seems like youve been a giant for so long, youre still very young, and youre getting time with some seasoned veterans in aaron hill and Jimmy Rollins. Do you get any time with them . Have you had a chance to get to know them a bit . What do you glean off of them as position players and Longtime Major LeagueBaseball Players . For sure. I look forward to seeing those guys, talking to them every day. Trying to just get to know them. Ive watched them play for so long from the other side. Its been fun. Our team this year, its as good as any one weve had as far as camaraderie goes and that stuff. We have a really good group of guys. You know, Everybody Knows thats what it takes to win. Not many people can explain it. It doesnt make sense, but you have to have that. Okay. This really is breaking news, matt will keep his hair long this year, but not as long as morse. Its a good look. Ill probably keep it long. Who knows. I may cut it tomorrow. You never know. I like it. Jon, mike, up to you. Jon thanks to madison bumgarner. Amy g. Mentioned at the beginning of that interview, six shutout innings in wednesdays game. Nick hundley rips a base hit to left field. Tapia hustling over to cut it off. That ball got out there in a hurry. Its a single for hundley. Mike giants fans will get to know nick hundley. One of his strengths as a hitter, he covers the mistake. You get that ball up to him, i dont care what speed you have on him, hell barrel it up. They try to go above the hands, they leak it out over the plate. To left. Thats nice control of the bat head. Good mistake hitter. Always has been. Jon hundley a native orgeg n oregonian. Jimmy rollins hits into a force play on the first pitch to him. Hundley forced out at second. We head to the third, 20 colorado. Its okay to cry, right . No more we dont want anymore [crying] ahhhhhhhhhh everyday price and no extra monthly fees, unlike cable. Speeds up to 45 megs, for 30 a month. Mike the giants 2017 opening week, april 10th to the 17th is filled with amazing promotions and giveaways. Fireworks on april 14th. Brandon crawford kids backpack on the 17th. Go to sfgiants. Com promotions. Check it out. Jon matt kainsz bacain back. Lemahieu takes a strike. 20, colorado leading. Trevor story is on deck. Curveball, popped up foul, out of play. Mike johnny cuedo shimmy bobble body. Jon im having a hard time picturing it. Mike i dont need to see it. I want to get that, i want to get that, i want to get that. Jon one ball, two strikes to lemahieu who grounded into a double play in the first inning against cain. 34 8, the best batting average in the major leagues, and in the National League. This is a gold glove second baseman on top of that. This is for the cubs they won it all last year for the first time in 108 years, he was the one that got away. He was a cub, somehow they thought they could do better. Rockies were happy to get him. Home plate umpire, mike everitt. I guess he got hit by that ball in the dirt. 22. Seems to be okay. Check swing. Did he go . Yes. Everitt made the call himself. Strike three. Mike i think thats the general feeling if youre an umpire in spring training. If the guy remotely looked like a half swing, youre gone. Did he go . Oh, yeah. See you later. Thats strike three in july. Jon now here is trevor story. 01. Mike takes a rip, doesnt he . He is not much of a twostrike interesting to see how he makes adjustments to how the league will pitch him this year. He took he beat up the league early. Jon ball and a strike. The first time the giants saw him, they handled him well. All of a sudden somebody made a mistake, boom. He wasnt missing any of those. Giants brain trust looking on from the dugout. Giants manager, coaches, they dont sit out in those folding chairs anymore since the new First Base Coach got hit right in the face, just a horrifying moment. Sitting in one of those folding chairs. Over in surprise a couple weeks ago. Mike awful. One of the worst sounds we ever heard. Jon up and in. Foul tipped. Held by hundley. Strike three. Mike looked like a changeup that hung up there above the hands. Set the target over the middle of the plate. This goes up. Look at the elbows. You talk breaking this guys swing down, there it is right there. Second strikeout for cain. Jon two in a row to start this inning. Heres the man hitting cleanup tonight, jordan paterson. 20. Colorado leading in the third. Darkness beginning to settle in over the desert. The count is 01. Another changeup. We expected to see more changeups from cain tonight. Bruce bochy feels thats an excellent pitch for him. So does Dave Righetti. Mike shes feeling it. St. Pats day, come on. I think when you come into the big leagues at age 20, you will be pitching off the fastball. You will basically be setting your off speed stuff up off the fastball. Its kind of the other way around when youre in your 12th year. You lost your fastball. You set up the fastball with the breaking stuff, the soft stuff. Once you establish offspeed hitters in mind, you can make an 88mileperhour fastball look like its 92, provided you have good location with it. Jon two down, nobody on. One ball, two strikes to paterson. 290 Career Minor League batting average for paterson. Popped out to the second baseman in the first inning. Foul. You look at great pitchers, our good friend, gaylord perry, hall of famer, is one of them. Tom seaver, california native, operating his own vineyard and winery up in the napa valley now. Another alltime great. Hall of famer. Guys like that who still had success all the way up into the late 30s and early 40s. Thats through. The giants had theover shift o. Paterson crossed them up. Steven cardullo will come up now. But those guys adjusted. They had been real hard throwers when they were young, electric stuff like matt cain. You were talking about it. They adapted and came up with new stuff. Mike you transition. You show up as a thrower. Dont understand how to read a hitter and take advantage of a mixture of speed. Thats what you have to rely on as you get older. Jon fastball. 01 to cardullo. He led off the second inning with a single. Mike thats what pitching is all about, jon. Jon so matt cain trying to make that transition himself. Ball, too low. The runner at first, paterson, took a couple of quick steps like he was taking off on a steal, and cain hit the deck after he threw that pitch as if expecting hundley to make a throw down to second. He started, and abruptly stopped. Mike i like that. I think you should do that in every secondary league. The catcher will react to it. If the catcher sees a base runner take a secondary lead with an aggressive couple of steps, oftentimes he will come up, anticipating he has to make a throw. When he does that, hes not as good at framing the low pitch. 3 jon takes away the point of view of the umpire sometimes. Mike it does. Jon one ball, one strike. Into right center field. Pretty good hitting there by cardullo. Ball that was down. Pence cuts it off, and then loses it. And paterson will come in to score. Cardullo heading into third, and in there. 30 colorado. Mike if youre a pitcher and relying on a mixture of speed, when a guy is going opposite gap, you dont have a lot of defense for it. Thats the swing. Thats the approach that allows a hitter to wait on offspeed stuff. That ball was down around the knees. He went back, drove that through the gap in right center. Thats as good a swing as weve seen tonight. Jon here is pat valaika. Smashed foul, right past stu cole, the third base coach. Mike watch how deep this ball gets into him. Almost like hes hitting it off the back knee. If a hitter takes a swing like that, the hitting coach starts to drool in the dugout. Jon 30 rockies. They have seven hits in the first three innings. Valaika flied out shallow right his first time. 02 the count. Jon when the rockies came into the National League, scott baylor was the skipper for the rockies. They were bankers. They used to go up there, they would collectively hunt for fastballs. When they got it, they didnt miss it. It kind of has been the philosophy through the years for the rockies. Theyve always been a good fastball hitting team. They take that mentality into the batters box. They hunt. Jon 12. They were so good at slugging, they came up with a nickname, the blake street bombers. Mike boy, they did, too. I didnt know blake street was in denver until those guys came around. Jon curveball. Got him. 75 miles per hour. But the rockies add a run. Gorkys hernandez coming up. Its spring, and we cant wait to open our sheds and get working on our yards. Scotts and miraclegro are here to help. We make it easy to grow thick, healthy lawns, spectacular plants, and bountiful flowers. Because when spring starts right, the months that follow stay perfect. Load up your shed with scotts and miraclegro. Its time to get outside. Jon lets go to arizona for spring training. Im driving. Mike interesting conversation with Jimmy Rollins about the Cactus League compared to the Grapefruit League where he was for many years with the phillies, training in clear w t clearwater. Jon gosrkys hernandez takes ball one from musgrave. Mike for rollins, this is his third spring in the Cactus League. One with the dodgers, one with the white sox, and this one here with the giants. He said he likes the Cactus League better. He says the reason for it is the trips are shorter. You done have the overnight trips. And its warmer. I think as you get to be an older player, you appreciate that. But he had fond memories of clear water, of course. Spring training, the worst place in spring training is still wonderful. Jon rollins played in the one area in florida that in some ways comes close to replicating the density of teams in one area that you have in the Cactus League now a days. You have 15 teams all in the metropolitan area. In clearwater there were a few, maybe six, seven, eight teams at the most. But within an hour or hour and 20 whatever. Mike furthest one was sarasota, that group. Jon thats a swing said mike everitt. Thats all for gorkys hernandez. Mike for comprehensive coverage of everything orange and black, check out pregame and postgame live on csn bay area. Tampa, st. Pete, a lot of teams down there. Jon but still not quite the same as here. Matt cain, who has some power. Giants pitchers just started hitting in the Cactus League in the last few days. The catcher, wolters, out to speak with musgrave. Matt cain stands in. Trailing 30 in the third inning. On a hot night. It was 90 degrees at game time here after 6 00. Very comfortable now. The sun is going down. Still tends to get coolish during the night. Then it warms up quickly once the sun comes up in the morning. 20. Mike i think the one thing you like in spring training is consistency with weather. If you have rain and cold, it upsets your rhythm and routine, then thats the thing you dont like. Jon cain, foul. Mike that bat died a hard death right there. Jon giants will make the trip to peoria tomorrow to take on the seattle mariners. Matt moore will get the start in that game. Well have that on the radio, knbr, Giants Radio Network tomorrow. Then sunday, back here. 1 05 start in peoria tomorrow on the radio. Sunday, the giants will take on milwaukee right here. And that fastball misses. So its 31 now to matt cain. You and duane kuiper will have the sunday game at 1 00 on csn bay area. Will you . Mike i think its going to be Jeremy Affeldt with duane kuiper. Jon you only like to work with me now . Mike im all over kuip. Jon trying not to make a big thing out of it. You guys might still get together and have lunch. Mike well, if he guys. Jon 32 the count. Blue blew that fastball by him. They are on knbr tonight, duane kuiper and dave fleming. Giants baseball on the radio over there. On knbr tomorrow and sunday as well. Jeremy affeldt will do the csn game sunday. All right. I did a game on the radio with the very first Cactus League game back in february. Hes fun and knowledgeable. Hes Jeremy Affeldt, so mike and he sees the game a little bit differently. He sees it from a guy who spent a lot of his big league life in the bullpen. Its really a rue neunique perse and is the same from javier lopez, who will be doing some games this year. Just good baseball minds. They can twist a phrase. Jon nunez to story. That is a three up three down inning. Three strong innings in from musgrave. Well move to the fourth inning in the desert. 30 colorado. Imagine if the things you bought every day earned you miles to get to the places you really want to go. With the united mileageplus explorer card, youll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes. Priority boarding. And 50,000 bonus miles. Everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. The united mileageplus explorer card. Imagine where it will take you. Jon got a Consumer Problem . Get nbc bay area responds. Consumer investigator chris coup kamura has recovered 500,000. Nbc bay area, we investigate. Im jon miller with mike krukow. Here is raimel tapia leading off in the fourth inning. Amy g. Interviewed madison bumgarner. She comes up with the top guys. Mike she doesnt mess around. She goes right for the stars.
