Jock Blog: Nobody wanted to disappoint Buster

3 weeks ago | knbr.com | Brian Murphy

Two years ago, the Jock Blog penned an Opening Day missive and we led with this line: “Call it the Matt Beaty Moment.” Two years later, the Jock Blog pens an Opening Day missive and we will lead with this line: “Call it the Buster Posey Era opening moment.” A 2025 Giants roster with no last-second party-crashers, with no rotisserie baseball margin moves, with no mid-game platoons and no roster muscles pulled to strain for a matchup edge at every turn — creating a roster churn as soothing as a...

These starting pitchers won Rookie of the Year. Then what happened?

1 month ago | mlb.com | Brian Murphy

What does Paul Skenes have in store for an encore after winning National League Rookie of the Year in 2024? Last season, Skenes and the Yankees' Luis Gil were named Rookie of the Year in their respective league, bringing the total number of starting pitchers who have won that award to 28. Some of those pitchers built upon their rookie-year success the following season while others fell well short of expectations.
Jock Blog: Don’t forget about Dray

1 month ago | knbr.com | Brian Murphy

And now, a word about the forgotten Golden State Warrior. Hello again, Draymond Green. In the past six weeks, the Jock Blog has penned two odes to Steph Curry and two more to Jimmy Butler. In the spirit of today’s “2000s Friday” on the morning show . . . did I forget about Dray? I think so. Time to rectify with a few words of appreciation for the ol’ graybeard. Literally. Have you seen those snowy flecks in the four-time champ’s facial hair? We’re a long way from Michigan State, kid.
Jock Blog: Have the 49ers removed themselves from Super Bowl 60 contention?

1 month ago | knbr.com | Brian Murphy

I already planned to write this Jock Blog when we had the great and legendary 49ers beat man Matty Maiocco on the show this morning, so I did a test run. “Is it fair to say, Matt,” I asked, beginning my best courtroom prosecutor impression, “that the 49ers, by losing so much veteran leadership, so much swagger, so much experience, have removed themselves from being an obvious contender for the Super Bowl this upcoming season?”Matty verified my hypothesis.
Jock Blog: Murph weighs in on Steph Curry’s place in basketball pantheon

1 month ago | knbr.com | Brian Murphy

Can one man be the subject of — wait for it — two consecutive Jock Blogs? Rare air, indeed. Steph Curry might want to call his agent and see if there’s an incentive clause in his contract for that. Last week, the Jock Blog gushed about No. 30 after his 56-point performance in Orlando, wondering if he’d passed Joe Montana in all-time Bay Area aura. A week later, we are back after his rock-and-roll barnstorming tour up and down the East Coast.

All ★★½ ★★★½ ★★★ More ★★½ Was turned on to this by a Brazillian friend who said it's one of the best movies she's ever seen. I hope I don't disappoint her next week when I say, "eh, it's fine." It wants to be this really gritty crime drama, but it restrains itself too often. I think it would have been better served by being a little bloodier, a little more chaotic. There are a couple of energetic sequences, but it's generally too tame for its… Translated from en by Google ★★★½ The first half...

Desert Jock Blog: The Giants way is Buster’s way; Pitch it, catch it, grind it

2 months ago | knbr.com | Brian Murphy

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Say hello to a Jock Blog being scribbled in the Scottsdale Stadium press box, endless blue sky in front of me, thrill of the grass underfoot. How can you not be romantic about The Giants Way, after all? That’s today’s topic, ball fans: Just what IS The Giants Way? All right, all right, smart aleck. I hear your one-liners. Insert Farhan marginal transaction joke here. Insert Dodgers-on-another-planet joke here. Insert $20-beer price, 80-win roster joke here. I hear ya.
