It was a painful exit for San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Howard Spencer (56) as he hands to ball off to manager Bob Melvin (left) in the top of the third inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Sat Jun 15, 2024
On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Morris:
#1 Morris, San Francisco Giants starter Spencer Howard didn’t last long as he was lifted in the third inning after giving up seven hits and four earned runs. Not the kind of outing that Howard wanted to start the game off with.
#2 The Los Angeles Angels who have gone through their paces this season spent a deal of it in last place in the American League West but have moved out of the basement after last place the Oakland A’s have been on a steady decline currently losing 10 of their last 12 games and the Angels have won six of their last nine.
#3 One key thing to the Angels defeat over the Giants on Friday was they got a quality start from Tyler Anderson who went five innings with five hits, one earned run, five walks and five strikeouts.
#4 The Angels ball club has responded to manager Ron Washington. Washington who coached in Oakland, led the Texas Rangers to the World Series twice, and his last stint was a coach for the Atlanta Braves wants to really drive and make this Angels club relevant once again.
#5 It’s going to be a big week for you Morris, your headed off to Birmingham for the Negro Leagues Tribute at Rickwood Field in Birmingham when the Giants and the St Louis Cardinals play in the oldest park in the minor leagues on June 20th?
