Should’ve had more A’s players on the USA WBC team if they wanted to guarantee wins. Sad loss, but not surprising.

In his State of the Union address less than two weeks ago, the president told the country: "The roaring economy is roaring like never before." The latest batch of data on jobs, pump prices and the stock market suggests the roar has started to sound more like a whimper. to.pbs.org/4aZvFML

Leo De Vries is going off against the Dodgers. After crushing his first homer of spring, he hits a grand slam one inning later.

About a month ago, California gas prices — adjusted for inflation — were lower than when Gavin Newsom took office. Now Trump’s war with Iran will push them back over $5 a gallon.

From @TheAthletic: Baseball has been revitalized by rule changes, but according to our readers, not everything has gotten better for fans. The legal web of MLB's sports network contracts continues to subject nearly 40% of fans we polled to blackouts: nyti.ms/4b8KZpf

A former ICE lawyer and training instructor who resigned in February is warning that the agency has scaled back training hours for new recruits and is instructing them to violate the Constitution. Ryan Schwank told Democrats in Congress this week that the academy where he trained cadets is "deficient, defective and broken." He says it's part of an effort to churn out new officers and increase arrests as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration. Ryan Schwank joined @GeoffRBennett with his attorney, David Kligerman.

@mickie_enkoji @ericpgirard @susanslusser @sfchronicle BINGO.

@ericpgirard @susanslusser @sfchronicle One thing that struck me as odd, would someone who is a racist spend their spare time at a museum dedicated to African American players?

And there's more: I'm told Glen Kuiper will call 10-15 regular-season Giants games, too, in return to MLB after 2023 firing over racial slur; plus the team is welcoming back a familiar face to the group of TV fill-ins: sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/… via @sfchronicle

At Trump’s State of the Union, do you think he’ll mention the fact that, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, his billionaire friends saw a $1.5 trillion increase in their wealth in his first year in office?

“For him to come out against pretty much their starting lineup and do what he did, he should have a lot of confidence. … The stuff looked really sharp.” J.T. Ginn is testing a new windup, and the results in his spring debut could not have gone better. mlb.com/news/j-t-ginn-…

@K9Dirk @NBCSGiants Getting to the WS isn’t easy. A majority of mangers don’t. Need to get into PS first.

@NBCSGiants How many WS did he win with the A's or SD. I'll wait 🤔

Bob Melvin called his tenure as Giants manager the "most disappointing" of his career after an underwhelming two seasons in charge 🫤 nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-franci…

@ShawnIsDynamite @Boomskie People just like to focus on the bad

@Boomskie He took them to the NLCS

Padres wasn't too good, either.

So dope! 🌳 🥇 ⛸️

@awealthofcs Nope. When Harry Met Sally. The OG!

Is Crazy Stupid Love the best romcom cast ever? Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Marissa Tomei and Kevin Bacon Gotta be up there (it’s on Netflix)

@lillielollipop This.

I’m Angry that the A’s aren’t in home anymore to welcome home Alysa Liu and have her throw out the first pitch!
