Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Former Giants 1B Will Clark joins us to talk about the current team, the number 22 and Christian Arroyo.
Clark talked to The Sports Virus about Christian Arroyo: “…He was putting too much pressure on himself and then once he sorta calmed down, things started happening a little bit better for him, but then the organization made a change and sent him back to Triple-A. Since he’s been down in Triple-A he’s been swinging the bat well. It seems like he’s calmed down and relaxed a little bit more. So now when you see him come back for the second time hopefully that little experience that he had will provide him with a little benefit and he’ll be able to take advantage of it a little bit more.”
Come back THURSDAY for an interview with Ahmed Fareed from NBC Sports Bay Area.

Dan Dibley from 95.7 The Game joins us in part 2 of our conversation from Looking Glass Photo in Berkeley
The Sports Virus asked Dibley about replay in baseball:
… “The real problem is nobody can handle getting screwed anymore. Even today with all of the video review that goes on there are still times that the call is wrong. So people are still getting screwed. We as American sports fans can’t handle that so we think the technology and instant replay is the cure-all and it’s not.”
Come back TUESDAY for our next podcast from AT&T Park.

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Giants Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
We talk about Tim Lincecum, Ichiro Suzuki and Will Clark’s issue with new rules as our regular guest SF Chronicle Columnist John Shea joins us in part 2 of our conversation.
The Sports Virus asked Shea if Tim Lincecum would have been a good reliever for the Giants: … “I kinda doubt it. (Starters) love their routines. Lincecum was a great reliever in the post season in ’12, but that was kind of a short term basis. He didn’t do it all year. He had the pitch count up to where he could throw one inning or five innings, it didn’t matter. The situation called for him to be a reliever at that time. He was dynamite. From there though, his career slipped quite a bit and now we’re at the point where his hip is not an issue anymore and his confidence is soaring.”
Come back FRIDAY as we podcast from AT&T Park.

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Giants Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Today we hear from “Will The Thrill,” former Giants 1B Will Clark, who was a 6-time All Star while playing in the Major Leagues from 1986-2000, the first 8 of those seasons in San Francisco.
Clark talked to The Sports Virus about new rules protecting players at second base and home plate: … “They’re taking all of the contact out of the sport. They’re baby-fying the sport. It’s really bad to see. I understand with the salaries these guys are making they have to protect the players, but they’ve really baby-fied the sport and I don’t think it’s good for the sport at all….if you’re not allowed to at least make a little contact and disrupt the double play what’s the reason in me running down there to second base then.”
