Bruce Macgowan from KCBS radio in San Francisco joins us to give his thoughts on the 2019 Giants. He also talks 
about three men from the Giants family that passed away over the last year, Hall of Famer Willie McCovey, former broadcaster Hank Greenwald and former owner Peter Magowan.
The Warriors concluded a 47-year run at Oracle Arena with a win in their final regular season home game in the building. So many memories and emotions were flowing on Sunday night. Golden State also clinched the #1 seed in the Western Conference by beating the Clippers. Ray and Joe take it all in and get you ready for the playoffs!
former Giants infielder and first round pick Christian Arroyo is back in town in a Rays uniform. They all joined Joe Castellano for the home opener on Friday at newly named Oracle Park in San Francisco.
The 2019 regular season begins on Thursday in San Diego for the Giants. 3B Ron Wotus gets us ready with a conversation that we had just prior to spring training.
Posey-like stats, especially last year. You know that thing (hip) was bothering him and he had to end the season. So, it’s encouraging that he’s got that hip fixed and hopefully we’ll see the Buster Posey of old.”
Kevin Durant only took 6 shots, but showed his overall game as the Warriors bounced back from a blowout loss to Dallas on Saturday with a win on Sunday over Detroit.
Injuries derailed the Giants 2018 season. 2B Joe Panik was one of the walking wounded last year, but now he’s healthy and has been tearing up the Cactus League hitting over .400. Bench Coach Hensley Meulens is optimistic about this season, especially because Buster Posey should be back to his All Star form.
moment I start thinking about that, that’s when I go bad. I’ve been really trying to focus on contact point. If I hit the ball in the right contact point that’s when the ball will go. Don’t think about lifting the ball because that’s when bad things will happen.”
“Hitting wise it restrained him (last season) from being at his best, powerful and driving balls. Catching as well he wasn’t feeling like himself…I’m hoping he can get back to where he was the year before (hit .320 with .400 on base percentage).”
The Warriors finished their road trip 3-1 with wins in Houston, Oklahoma City and Minnesota. Steph Curry scored 36 points in the Tuesday win against the Timberwolves. Jonas Jerebko chipped in with 18 points in 18 minutes off the bench.
The Warriors beat the Rockets for the first time this season and they did it on the road without Kevin Durant. Ray and Joe talk about better defense, rebounding and a solid performance by DeMarcus Cousins.
The Giants pitching staff looks good so far in spring training. Two members of the staff who are hoping to be more consistent this season join us today. Chris 
Stratton is vying for a spot in the rotation or as a long man in the bullpen. Mark Melancon is finally healthy and wants to retain his spot as the closer.
“I had some really good games and some really bad games. Boch (Bruce Bochy) wants to know what he’s getting every day and that’s what I want every day is I need to know what I’m going to go out there and be capable of. I need to work on being a little bit more consistent and being better.”
really well. Will (Smith) did a great job and he’s very capable of doing it, likewise Tony Watson and some other guys. That’s the good thing and I think it’s a real staple on our club right now is the bullpen. I think we have a lot of really good arms. Whatever happens it’s going to shake out well.”
