Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated twice a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Hunter Strickland addressed the media and his teammates after 
breaking his hand in a fit of rage earlier this week. Did Strickland finally learn a lesson about controlling his emotions? Ray Woodson 
weighs in on that. Nick Hundley and Will Smith talk about supporting Strickland. Hundley also discusses his great base-running play against the Marlins and Smith tells us about the adrenaline rush that goes along with pitching in the late innings of Major League games.
Join us again next week when we check on the Giants minor league system with guests from Richmond and Farm Director David Bell.

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Baseball Podcast
Updated twice a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
Tuesday at AT&T Park in San Francisco after batting practice, we chatted with Pablo Sandoval about being the new Giants secret weapon out of the bullpen. Plus we hear from Austin Jackson, who is getting along with the seagulls in centerfield and we chat with returning LHP Will Smith, who is set to come back from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday.
The Panda talked about his relief appearance on Saturday against the Dodgers: “I didn’t even know I had that curveball…I was excited because I see all my teammates in the dugout watching and laughing, it loosened them a little bit…we get in the clubhouse having fun talking about it.”
Join us again later this week when our regular guest Ray Woodson joins us to talk about the upcoming road trip.

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Giants Podcast
Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!
We talked to Giants pitchers Matt Cain and Will Smith on Tuesday at AT&T Park.
The Sports Virus asked Cain how he can improve his consistency throughout an entire game:
… “The biggest thing is staying the same mode, same mindset as I had been in the beginning and earlier in the game or any situation. That’s what I’ve always benefitted from in the past is not getting too overwhelmed in any spot or any situation. Just worry about executing pitches and it’s going to happen.”
Smith tells The Sports Virus he is enjoying being in a Giants uniform:
… “It’s fun here. You come in, there’s a bunch of big name guys here. That’s nice to have on your team. I’m glad I’m finally a good guy here. I don’t have to face those three over there (points across the clubhouse) Belt, Panik and Crawford. They were giving me nightmares. I’m glad to be a good guy in white now.”
Come back FRIDAY when we hear from Giants hitting coach Steve Decker.
