Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated twice a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
As the Giants reached May with a 12-18 record, we went into the clubhouse at Oracle Park to get the mood of Joe Panik, Tony Watson and Tyler Austin. Panik has made some adjustments and appears to be 
coming out of his early season slump. Watson is part of a tight knit bullpen. And, Austin is dealing with the challenges of learning how to play the outfield and fit in with a new team.
Listen To Panik, Watson & Austin
