In this episode of the Alamo City Sports Cast, host Mike Jimenez and show producer Joe Garcia discuss the thrilling victory of the San Antonio Spurs over the Phoenix Suns and the ongoing lineup controversy.

The episode also touches on the importance of player development and the team's outlook for the upcoming games. Main Talking Points: Spurs' Comeback Victory: The hosts start by recapping the exciting win of the San Antonio Spurs over the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs were down by 17 points late in the third quarter but managed to secure a dramatic 115-114 victory. Tre Jones and Lineup Controversy: Mike and Joe discuss the emerging talent of Tre Jones, a second-round draft pick from 2020. They highlight his improved defensive skills and efficient shooting, making him a valuable asset to the team. The controversy arises as they question Coach Popovich's decision to play Sochan, a 20-year-old guard, in a point guard role while expecting him to guard top-tier opponents. They argue that this approach could hinder Sochan's development. Keldon Johnson's Performance: Keldon Johnson's impact on the Spurs is acknowledged, with a focus on his consistency, scoring, and efficient three-point shooting.

They believe that it was the players who won the game despite lineup decisions. The importance of player development and the need to allow young talents like Victor Wembanyama to thrive are emphasized, as the hosts express concerns that the team's potential could be undermined by coaching decisions. Upcoming Schedule and Expectations: The hosts discuss the Spurs' upcoming schedule and express their desire for the team to achieve a 5-5 record in the first 10 games. They highlight the challenges and exciting matchups ahead. Audience Engagement: The episode includes interactions with the audience, including comments and questions from viewers.

Afterward, Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner jumps on to discuss the change in the aggression on the bases from the players, Bo Bichette's first day off the season, how Zack Collins goes about his day without being in the lineup on a game-to-game basis, and how has Chapman turned around his season (50:27).

Banter White Sox Moves/Roster AJ Pollock/Craig Kimbrel Trade Garrett Crochet, Lance Lynn, and Yoan Moncada Injuries Zack Collins/Reese McGuire Trade Bold Predictions White Sox Pitchers White Sox Hitters White Sox Section 108 White Sox Over/Unders

On the cusp of a new season with lots of reason to believe in the White Sox, SSS duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, delve into the predictions for the Sox and the rest of MLB from the computer whizzes at Five Thirty Eight, and even come up with their own predictions, which are never, ever right (one look at their March Madness pools will prove that). Of course, that involves looking at the lineup (hello, AJ Pollock!), the incredible fact the White Sox finally got a backup catcher who won't spend most of his time chasing the ball back to the screen (good-bye, Zack Collins!), and delving into the problems with injuries and such on the pitching side (welcome, Johnny Cueto?). Given the fact they have not one minute of any sort of medical training, Will and Leigh naturally delve deeply into Lance Lynn's torn meniscus, and what that could mean for pressure on the rest of the staff (Vince Velasquez, really?), and issue a strong joint hope that the TJHOFBP (the added TJ not for Tommy John, but for total ja*****) learned something last season about wearing out your starting pitchers early in the season so they have nothing left come playoff time. Not really much hope for that last bit, but plenty of hope for the rest, so Play Ball!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Destanni Henderson scored a career-high 26 points, Aliyah Boston added 11 points and 16 rebounds, and the Gamecocks handed Geno Auriemma’s Huskies their first loss in 12 NCAA title games. With Staley calling the shots in a $5,000 letterman jacket, South Carolina took UConn to school on the boards and capped a wire-to-wire run as the No. 1 team in the country in The AP poll.

McGuire batted .253 with a homer and 10 RBIs in a career-high 78 games last year. The 27-year-old McGuire made his big league debut in 2018. He is a .248 hitter with nine homers and 26 RBIs in 141 career games, all with the Blue Jays. The 27-year-old Collins set career highs with a .210 batting average, four homers and 26 RBIs in 78 games for the AL Central champions last year. MLB – MLB looking at electronic system for calling pitches Major League Baseball is stepping up its experimentation with an electronic communication channel for calling pitches. After trying out the PitchCom system at Low-A West in the second half of last season, big league clubs are tinkering with the technology during spring training. If the development is met with widespread acclaim, the system could be used in the majors this year. With the PitchCom system, the catcher wears a wristband with nine buttons for calling the pitch and location. There is a receiver in the pitcher’s cap, and another one in the catcher’s helmet. Multiple languages are available. NCAABSB – College baseball goes high-tech to send pitch calls to mound A growing number of college baseball teams are moving away from the tradition of catchers using their fingers and hands for pitch signs. The NCAA this year is allowing teams to have a coach in the dugout press into a keypad numbers corresponding to different pitch types and transmitting the information to a wristband worn by the pitcher. The technology called Game Day Signals was developed by a small Virginia software development company. Several college baseball powers are using the devices. Vanderbilt has all of its position players wear wristbands to receive signals for defensive adjustments or pickoff plays. Golf – The Masters – On the prowl? Tiger arrives at Masters, unsure of playing Tiger Woods has arrived Augusta National but it’s still not clear whether he’ll play in the Masters. Woods warmed up on a range for about 20 minutes and then got in a cart and headed to the course. He says it’s a game-time decision whether he plays. His right leg so was severely damaged in a car crash 13 months ago that he said doctors contemplated amputation. He played with his son in the PNC Championship in December. But that was a scramble format and he rode in a cart. Woods played a practice round five days ago. This is the next step. Golf – PGA – Spaun gets first PGA win, Masters berth J.J. Spaun earned his first PGA victory in 147 career starts by closing with a 69 at the Valero Texas Open.  Spaun survived a double-bogey start to his round by recording five birdies with no bogeys to finish at 13-under at TPC San Antonio. It gave him a two-shot margin over Matt Kuchar and Matt Jones, along with a berth in the Masters this week. Adam Hadwin, Beau Hossler, Charles Howell III and Troy Merritt tied for fourth at 10-under.

In this episode of Locked On White Sox, the Sox fall to the Royals 4-3 despite a late comeback attempt. Eloy Jimenez returned to the lineup, but went 0-4. Dallas Keuchel wasn't quite good enough, but the bats didn't really show up for him at all. Zack Collins continues to frustrate behind the plate, especially when compared to Salvador Perez. We also shift our focus to some other trade deadline targets that have recently become available. How about Trea Turner on the Southside? We explore that possibility and more in this episode of Locked On White Sox.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
