Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
The Giants are in LA taking on the Dodgers and John Shea from the San Francisco Chronicle discusses the state of the team after game one of the series. In part 1 of a 2 part conversation we talk at length about newcomer Christian Arroyo who learned the game in a very unique way.
Shea explains to The Sports Virus how Christian Arroyo’s mother Kim Drummond taught him
how to play baseball and how to hit: “…Christian said she went out and got a copy of the Ted Williams book – The
Science of Hitting – and ‘read a page taught it to me, read another page, taught it to me.’ I said, who does that? He said, ‘well, my mom does.’ Super mom.”

In Part 2 of our conversation with John Shea from the San Francisco Chronicle we talk about the Madison Bumgarner injury and Buster Posey bouncing back from the concussion DL.
him play and you don’t have maybe that one great tool that kind of jumps out at you like power did with Chris Shaw did last year. Or, he doesn’t have this unbelievable throwing arm out in center field. He just does everything well. He can hit for average, he can hit for power, he’s a switch hitter, the Giants are playing him out in centerfield, they think he can handle that position. As he learns the rigors of pro ball, I think as he settles in he’ll have a very nice season in the Cal League.”
USA Today reporter Jorge Ortiz is our guest from AT&T Park in San Francisco. He joined us just before the Giants home opener on Monday.
