Talented San Francisco pitcher Dereck Rodriguez opened the Giants 2019 season at Oracle Park against Tampa Bay but surrendered four runs in the first inning. The deficit was too great to overcome and the Giants' Home Opener went to the visiting Rays, 5-2

Smooth fielding first baseman Bandon Belt has wasted no time making himself a favorable talking point with his strong start, which includes three home runs to start the season. In Saturday's game Belt contributed three RBIs, which helped propel the Giants to a 6-4 in over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.

A familiar sight! One of the prerequisites of playing third base for the San Francisco Giants these days seems to be the ability to blow bubbles, made most noteworthy by its former custodian, Pablo Sandoval. Above, Evan Longoria demonstrates his talents on Opening Day at Oracle Park.

San Francisco earned their second win of the season on Monday evening against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, 4-2. Brandon Belt homered in the victory and LHP Drew Pomeranz struck out six over five innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits. M
adison Bumgarner started Tuesday's game and allowed five runs on five hits over six innings, giving up a grand slam to Cody Bellinger in the third inning. Not to be outdone, Bumgarner responded with a two run homer of his own later in the game but the Giants lost, 6-5.
In the final series game, San Francisco mashed two home runs, with a solo shot from Steven Duggar and a two-run blast from Brandon Belt but the Giants' offense could not match the five-run effort by the Dodgers and dropped the series finale, 5-3.
The Giants headed back to the Bay Area for their Opening Day game on Friday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oracle Park. Starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez allowed seven hits and four runs over five-and-a-third innings pitched, giving up two home runs in the first inning. Unable to recover from the early deficit, the Giants fell to the Rays, 5-2. Saturday's game yielded a more favorable result as the Giants defeated Tampa Bay, 6-4. Steven Duggar and Brandon Belt again displayed their offensive powers with three RBIs apiece in the victory.
Sunday's game ended with a 3-0 loss and the Giants dropped their third straight series to start the season, bringing their overall record to 3-7.
The Giants continue their ten-game home stand with a three-game set versus the San Diego Padres starting Monday evening at 6:45 p.m., followed by a four-game series with the
Colorado Rockies.

Oakland A's Report
A's platoon player Mark Canha's fielding duties increased shortly after the season began when regular first baseman Matt Olson sustained an injury against the Mariners in Japan. Canha brings offense as well and hit 17 home runs and 22 doubles last year in just 365 at-bats. Kendrys Morales, coming to the A's in a recent trade with Toronto, is seen as Olson's primary backup.

Oakland started a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Monday evening. Aaron Brooks, who recently earned his spot as the A's fifth starting pitcher, showed prowess in his regular-season debut. The RHP tossed six scoreless innings in a 7-0 shutout, allowing just two hits and striking out six. The A's offensive firepower was on display and belted four home runs, with shots from Khris Davis, Ramón Laureano,
Chad Pinder, and Matt Chapman.
In Tuesday's 1-0 win A's pitcher Mike Fiers tossed six scoreless innings. Though the Athletics' offense faced Chris Sale, the Red Sox's premier pitcher, a home run by Matt Chapman in the first inning stood up for the victory. The A's fell 6-3 on Wednesday, as Fernando Rodney was unable to hold the Red Sox in the ninth, when the game was tied. Rodney allowed three runs, two of which came on a Mookie Betts single which ricocheted off the third base bag. In Thursday's game Stephen Piscotty went four-for-four at the plate with five RBIs, helping close the series with a 7-3 victory and a 6-2 homestand record.
The team flew to Houston on Friday to begin a three-game series which served as the Astros' Home Opener. Though Frankie Montas struck out five, he gave up seven hits and two runs over five innings and the Athletics lost 3-2. Oakland was shutout 6-0 in the second game as Aaron Brooks allowed five runs on nine hits over five innings and the A's mustered just six hits.
The Astros completed their sweep on Sunday, winning 9-8, despite home runs from Robbie Grossman, Chad Pinder, and Josh Phegley. A tight strike zone worked against the A's star closer, Blake Treinen, who gave up a walk-off walk in the ninth inning to hand their division rival the win.
The A's continue on the road with a four-game series beginning Monday evening in Baltimore at 4:05 p.m., before heading back to Texas to face the Rangers.

Providing an Insider's Look
Life in the Front Office
By Andy Dolich
What really goes on behind the closed doors of sports teams and league offices? For many fans and those interested in starting a sports career, these questions often go begging. The business side of sport consistently interferes with or shines harsh lights on the leagues, owners, networks, and the games that make the American sports world tick. Is it sports or entertainment? Is it too much of a business to be a game or too much of a game to be a business?
Enter three veteran sports industry executives with incredibly diverse backgrounds. One spent 30 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers; another is one of the most respected marketing minds in sports, having worked for the San Francisco Giants for 32 years and helped turn Oracle Park from perception to magnificent reality and bring Super Bowl 50 to the San Francisco Bay Area; and the third is a former COO of the San Francisco 49ers and president of business operations for the Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors and marketing head of the Oakland A's during the BillyBall and Bash Brothers eras.
Fred Claire, Pat Gallagher and Andy Dolich have 140-combined years of executive experience working in the sports industry. They are the Go-To for interviews on local, regional and national sports business issues.
Their weekly blog, Life in the Front Office, features the three hosts and the latest sports business stories but allows them to call on their colleagues who are leading voices in all aspects of the business of sports. Their network of commissioners, general managers, player agents, union chiefs, media heads, sponsors, and fans is a sports industry digital encyclopedia.
The World of Sports
The Big Four sports leagues attracted 150 million fans to their venues in 2018. NCAA College basketball and football totaled an additional 80 million fans. Every level of digital media is increasing on a daily basis. The color of the fluid which runs through the veins of sports is green, as in millions and now billions of dollars that are spent on player salaries. Team values, new venue construction, and broadcast contracts are multi-billion dollar deals. There are 375 colleges and universities offering degree programs in the business of sports. Millions of Americans are wrapped up in every aspect of sports. Active interest in what the future will look like at every level of sports, from the local playing fields to the Super Bowl, is part of their DNA.
Why is America so interested in sports? Why do tens of millions follow it with a passion not seen in many other areas of their lives? It has morphed from a cottage industry to an addiction that can start at the local playground and mature to the fanaticism of the World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals or seventh game of the Stanley Cup.
What will the future look like in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, colleges and youth sports? Delivery systems for the games are going through a digital revolution, changing the rules of fan engagement in every way, everyday.
The Sports Whisperies
These three highly respected industry leaders have decades of experience in the business of sports. They have won World Series, set attendance records, presented All-Star Games, built new ballparks and arenas, worked in NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB, pro soccer, lacrosse, college sports and theme parks. They worked at the first Super Bowl and led the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl. They have taught sports management at Caltech, Stanford, University of San Francisco, and Oregon.
Fred Claire
Fred Claire spent 30 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers' front office, serving as the team's publicity director; as vice president of public relations, promotions and marketing; executive vice president in charge of day-to-day operations; and general manager in charge of player personnel.
In 2017 Claire spearheaded the creation of the inaugural Fred Claire Celebrity Golf Classic, benefiting City of Hope in Duarte, CA. The tournament and dinner raised more than $200,000. (City of Hope is an independent research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other
life-threatening diseases.)
A book on Claire's career with the Dodgers, Fred Claire: My 30 Years in Dodger Blue, was released in March of 2004 by Sports Publishing LLC. The book was co-authored by Claire and Steve Springer of the Los Angeles Times and it was recognized on the Times' Bestsellers List.
Pat Gallagher
Pat is best known as one of the longest serving and most influential executives in San Francisco Giants history during his over 30-year career with the franchise. As the team's first director of marketing, his memorable marketing campaigns sold cold and windy Candlestick Park with humor in the 1980s and his contributions as senior vice president of business operations in the 1990s and beyond re-invigorated the franchise.
He was a key contributor to the creation of the privately funded Pacific Bell (now Oracle) Park, regarded by many as one the best ballparks in the country. Gallagher has been credited as a creative force behind the Giants evolution from a struggling franchise to a billion-dollar, championship organization.
Gallagher was instrumental in the making of Super Bowl 50, first as a volunteer contributor in crafting the winning bid to bring the event to the San Francisco Bay Area and then as executive vice president of marketing. He co-authored
Big Game Bigger Impact,
(Motivational Press, 2017), which chronicles the lessons learned from the purpose-driven effort which has been regarded by stakeholders and league officials as one of the most successful Super Bowls to date.
Gallagher is a frequent speaker and guest instructor at colleges and universities across the country. He currently is a management consultant, mentor, author, speaker, and authority in the sports, entertainment, and the special events industry.
Andy Dolich
The Ohio University Sports Management graduate was executive vice president of the Oakland A's during their run of success in the 1980s and 90s, president of business operations for the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies and COO of the San Francisco 49ers. He has held business operations positions in the NHL (Washington Capitals), soccer (NASL), pro lacrosse and collegiate sports marketing with IMG College.
Dolich runs a sports business consulting practice in Northern California. He is COO of FCFL (Fan Controlled Football League) which will debut in December as the first ever fan-run professional sports league. He was entrepreneur in residence at Menlo College and teaches sports business at Stanford's School of Continuing Studies. He was director of development for the University of San Francisco's Masters program in the Business of Collegiate Athletics and a Woodard Teaching Fellow at the University of Oregon's Warsaw School of Sports. He is co-author of 20 Secrets to Success for NCAA Student Athletes Who Won't Go Pro.

Sonoma Raceway -- Shell Eco-marathon Americas
|
|
EEV Sacramento State entry |
|
Three local universities competed with ultra-energy-efficient vehicles at Sonoma Raceway
SONOMA, Calif. (March 29, 2019) --
For the second consecutive year, Sonoma Raceway hosted
Make the Future Live
California featuring Shell Eco-marathon Americas. On April 3-6, more than 1,000 students from high schools and universities throughout North and South America competed on the Sonoma Raceway road course in one of the world's leading energy efficiency competitions, including three teams from Northern California universities.
University of California, Berkeley, California State University Sacramento and California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo each fielded ultra-energy efficient entries in Shell Eco-marathon Americas; a global program designed to offer students hands-on opportunities to develop ideas, technology, knowledge and skills, within an arena of competition.
Shell Eco-marathon, currently held annually in Asia, the Americas and Europe, with several grass roots events across the globe, is made up of two key competitions:
* Shell Eco-marathon Mileage Challenge -- a competition to see who can go the farthest on the least amount of energy, and;
*
Shell Eco-marathon Drivers' World Championship -- matching the proven energy-efficiency of the car, with the strategy, skill and speed of the driver.
Student teams from countries across their respective regions use innovative problem-solving skills to design and build their own cars. Looking at every aspect of design and technology, students compete to prove that their bright ideas will produce the most energy-efficient vehicle when tested on the track.
UC Berkeley's Cal Super-Mileage Vehicle Team attempted to run in the Shell Eco-marathon with their vehicle, Lux, which is driven by a pure battery-electric drivetrain on a carbon fiber body. They competed in the UrbanConcept division, which focuses on "roadworthy," energy-efficient vehicles aimed at meeting the real-life needs of drivers.
Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) at Sacramento State also fielded its Green Hornet entry in the UrbanConcept category. EEV at CSU Sacramento is a student-run and student-organized group of mechanical engineering students. The team is diverse in ethnicity, gender, and age; with many members who speak English as their second language and others who are parents returning to school. The majority of team members are interested in pursuing careers in automotive engineering or sustainable energy.
The Cal Poly Supermileage team returned to competition with two entries, Delamina and Eventus, both in the Prototype vehicle category. Eventus is the team's first-ever battery electric vehicle, while Delamina ran on gasoline. Cal Poly has participated in the Shell Eco-marathon since it launched in the Americas in 2007; however, many of their current members are first-year university students.
In the Shell Eco-marathon, cars drive a fixed number of laps around the .94-mile, five-turn circuit and must maintain a minimum speed. Organizers then calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source: internal combustion (gasoline, diesel and ethanol), hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric technologies.
