Report: Hector Sanchez Shows Up to Spring Training Overweight

Posted on 22:56 by belma malan
The San Francisco Giants have always had to worry about Pablo Sandoval and now they have to worry about Hector Sanchez, as well. Sanchez reportedly showed up to spring training a few pounds overweight this week, an issue the team has previously had with their hefty third baseman.


Here is CSN Bay Area's Andrew Baggarly on the news:

"Add Sanchez to the list of Giants who will be doing extra conditioning work this spring, Bochy said. They aren’t just picking on Pablo Sandoval. Sanchez arrived a bit heavier than the club wanted, too."
Sanchez is listed at 225 pounds, but with increased playing time coming in his future -- as Buster Posey will likely be positioned at first base more often this season -- the Giants will need him at tip-top shape come Opening Day.

VIDEO: Curry Impressive In Practice For Three-Point Shootout

Posted on 08:43 by belma malan

2012's winner of the All-Star three-point shootout, Kevin Love, did not eclipse 20 points in any of the rounds. In a video posted by Warriors guard and 2013 three-point contestant Stephen Curry, it shows the sharp-shooter tallying 27 points in a practice round -- a score that would easily surpass the competition on Saturday.


Last year's high point total was made by James Jones, who had 22 points on his way to a second place finish to a rallying Love.

Curry fired off a tweet to go with the video, simply saying "Think this will cut it for the shootout."

Yeah, that will...

Andrew Bogut: 'Right Now Our Defense Is @#$%'

Posted on 23:12 by belma malan

The Warriors lost their fifth straight game and now head into the All-Star break with questions about their team, the sustainability of their success and their suddenly non-existent defense.


Andrew Bogut said as much after the Warriors' loss to the Rockets on Tuesday, per @SherwoodStrauss.


Bogut: "Right now, our defense is shit"
— Ethan Strauss (@SherwoodStrauss) February 13, 2013
Stephen Curry, David Lee and Harrison Barnes are all headed to Houston for the All-Star festivities, but they will ultimately have to return to a team in desperate need of a win.

Golden State sits in sixth place in the Western Conference through 52 games, but just two games up on the eighth-seeded Houston Rockets, who are currently playing some of their best basketball of the season.

Roman on 49ers' Super Bowl Play Calling: 'That's Life'

Posted on 21:48 by belma malan

'Should, coulda, woulda' is how 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman sums up the play calling in the final drive of Super Bowl XLVII. Roman has received some flack for the lack of creativity in the final four plays of the 49ers' season, but has not let it discourage him.


Sports Illustrated's Peter King spoke with Roman about the Super Bowl loss to the Ravens. Here is what Roman had to say:

"That's life," said Roman. "That's sort of the life of a coach. Will it eat at me? Of course it will. But I'll use it as motivation going forward. To dwell on something that's over is so utterly pointless. Anytime you make a call and the play doesn't work, you think of another play that might have worked. We had a valiant effort, a great comeback, and it wasn't enough. That's life. It's the game we love, the highs, the lows. But it doesn't take away from what we did this year, and how excited I'm going to be to coach these guys next year."

Warriors Unveil New Short-Sleeved Alternate Jerseys

Posted on 11:16 by belma malan

The Golden State Warriors are revolutionizing the NBA with their new alternate uniforms. On Feb. 22, against the San Antonio Spurs, the Warriors will be debuting their yellow tight-fitting alternate uniforms  -- the first team to wear them in the history of the NBA, but most certainly not the last.


Golden State partnered with Adidas to debut the new era in basketball jerseys, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Harbaugh, 49ers Will Not Let Alex Smith Decide His Own Fate This Offseason

Posted on 22:32 by belma malan


Two days after losing the Super Bowl and blaming the referees, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said all the right things, blaming himself and the play-calling. He also mentioned the future of Alex Smith, the now high-priced back-up quarterback that likely wants nothing more than a fresh start in a new uniform.
Whether or not Smith gets that fresh start with another team will not be up to him, though, as Harbaugh stated on Tuesday.
            “I don’t think any player has those wishes granted when they’re under contract,” Harbaugh said via San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch. “And everything’s different. Every scenario is unique. It’s certainly not something we’re going to delve into and get into specifics.”
            ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers are going to shop Smith to teams this offseason, and Schefter also reported that teams are already lining up for Smith’s services.
            However, there may be a wrench thrown in the reported plans of Smith. The 49ers actually may keep him as their back-up quarterback next season.
            Smith is under contract with the team after signing a three-year deal in March 2012 worth $8 million per year. He will be owed $7.5 million on April 1.
            “I have great respect for Alex,” Harbaugh said. “Great personal friendship, togetherness with Alex. The team, we feel great about our quarterback situation. You can’t have enough good quarterbacks.”
            There is nothing that says the 49ers must get rid of Smith by releasing or trading him. There is also nothing that says it would be logical for the team to keep him, though. Kaepernick is the present and future of the 49ers at quarterback, and they have an unneeded high-paid quarterback with trade value at a career high.
            Harbaugh was just attempting to make a point on Tuesday. The 49ers are going to do what is best for the team when it comes to Smith’s situation in San Francisco. If that means they can find a trade partner for Smith with a decent return, they will likely go through with it. But if they cannot find a trade partner this offseason or the return does not benefit the team, then the best thing for the 49ers would be to release Smith and save the $7.5 million guaranteed to him on April 1.
            There is reason to keep Smith on the roster, though, and inhale the $7.5 million for a back-up quarterback. According to Harbaugh, Smith coaches Kaepernick more than anyone else, and that is still a valuable role for a young quarterback with just 10 NFL games under his belt and a veteran quarterback that has been through nearly everything the NFL can offer.
            If the 49ers should keep Smith, he is one of the only back-up quarterbacks in the NFL that can lead a team to a deep run in the playoffs. With Kaepernick running the “pistol” formation, a style of play that allows the quarterback to be susceptible to injury, it would not be a bad idea to have a capable backup waiting in the wings.

All signs point to the 49ers parting ways with Smith one way or another this offseason, but Harbaugh made it clear on Tuesday that the 49ers will do what is best for the 49ers.

Report: Alex Smith Already in High Demand By NFL Teams

Posted on 21:08 by belma malan
It is unknown what the future holds for Alex Smith. He will likely be in a new uniform next season, but little is known about whether or not he will be traded or simply released by the 49ers.

ESPN is reporting that teams are already coming forward and will inquire about Smith in the near future for a possible trade with San Francisco.


"The San Francisco 49ers will attempt to trade quarterback Alex Smith this offseason, according to league sources, and some believe they will be able to do it because there is not a great supply of available quarterbacks and there is a demand for Smith."

VIDEO: Pablo Sandoval Home Run Sends Venezuelan Crowd Into Hysteria

Posted on 21:20 by belma malan

Pablo Sandoval has a World Series MVP and now he has a Venezuelan championship MVP, after his team took home the title last week.  His bomb in the fourth inning of the eventual deciding game sent the Venezuelan crowd into near lunacy.


Look for the two-handed "suck it" gesture as he crosses home plate, by the way -- obviously a missed opportunity in the 2012 World Series.
