Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated once a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Today we have a special edition of our podcast as we catch up with the great Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt. We chat about Mike’s illustrious career which included 3 MVP awards, 12 All Star Games, 10 Gold Glove awards and 548 career home runs. He talks about the emotions of facing retirement (he played his last career game in 1989 in San Francisco at Candlestick Park), his 500th career home run and winning the 1980 World Series MVP.
We also discuss the Hall of Fame 
candidacies of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and we get to hear Mike’s thoughts on new Giants manager Gabe Kapler and the Astros cheating scandal.
Watch this podcast as a Webcast on our YouTube channel too! Live every Tuesday then archived later in the week.
Join us again Tuesday when NBC Sports Bay Area Analyst and former Giants pitcher Shawn Estes is our guest! Plus we will discuss the book The Baseball Codes with co-author Michael Duca.

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Giants Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Giants outfielder Mac Williamson and Phillies Bench Coach Larry Bowa joined us Friday before the game against Philadelphia.
Williamson was asked by The Sports Virus about outfield competition with Jarrett Parker:
“We’re good friends. I don’t think we look at it like that. We’re not day in and day out trying to spite each other and stab each other in the back to earn a spot. We’re both going out there trying to do our best. If you’re good enough to play at this level you’re going to play. That goes for both of us. If we’re both good enough to play there will be a spot for us somewhere whether it’s now or later. If you add value to the team they’re going to want that.”
Bowa talked about the Giants double play combination, Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik:
“When that ball is hit to them with the bases loaded you can almost put your head down and say there’s a double play. It’s fun to watch guys like this because I saw Crawford when he first came up, he made a lot of errors. Now I’m looking at the finished product and he’s if not the best, he’s at the top as a shortstop. Panik is what you call a blue collar player and I love watching him.”
Come back MONDAY when Giants assistant GM Jeremy Shelley and Giants trainer Dave Groeschner.
