Joe Castellano is an insider on the ground covering the San Francisco Giants and 49ers. He is the host of the Inside China Basin podcast, with updates three times a week during the season, delivering up to date Giants news and information. In the most recent episode of Inside China Basin, Castellano speaks with Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija and catcher Trevor Brown.
Samardzija told The Sports Virus about working with Buster Posey behind the plate: …“Having conversations with Buster early in the year (2016) really made me realize that he wants us to do what we’re comfortable with. He’s throwing some suggestions down back there, but he’s very open to going to your strengths…To have both of those options is great, what you’re thinking and what he’s thinking.”
Brown told The Sports Virus his reaction to the Giants signing catcher Nick Hundley during the off season: …“It’s kind of a tough deal when they go out and sign (Hundley). It kind of makes you think was it I wasn’t playing good enough? But, then you reflect on it. I was happy with what I did last year. They’re going to go out and they’re going to get guys to put the best team out on the field.”
