Pence tells The Sports Virus about his friend and new Giants closer Mark Melancon: “It’s a tremendous addition to the club. I got to play with him in Houston so I know that he’s just a confident, powerful presence, a guy that’s dialed into his body, dialed into his work and just a mental beast. So, I was really excited when I found out we added him to the club.”

Morse talked to The Sports Virus about getting signed after seeing GM Bobby Evans at Hunter Pence’s wedding: “I told him I could have the greatest spring training ever and if they don’t have room for me on this team I’m probably just going to take it home. I love baseball, it’s been great to me and I know I could still play the game, but all the other stuff (politics) I don’t have time for it anymore. I just told him to write up a cracker jack contract and let’s do it.”
