Weve got the game right here on nbc bay area following this program. 7 50 first pitch and clouds start to move in. Winds will be out of the west at 15 to 20 miles an hour. That could help to burn a few home runs out. Lets hope there are some runs for the giants. Lets take you to the rest of the sky camera. We have 66 across the south bay. 64 in the east bay after a few low 70s. Numbers cooling off as the numbers continue to set.

Now, we do have High Pressure<\/a> sitting overhead and thats been giving us the mild weather. Its going to be great outside. There is going to be danger at the immediate coastline and that is the fact that the waves are going to be kicking up. Theyre not going to be super high but theyll be ranging anywhere from 4 to 8 feet this weekend and the hidden danger you want to watch out for is rip currents. You cant see them.

I caught up with the giants rising star a short while ago. More pressure, less pressure, what do you apply to yourself when youre trying to make the club every atbat count now that you know youre the guy change . I think it depends how you look at it. Last year i could have thought, you know, hey, its a long shot. Just go out there and play hard. This year i can put pressure on myself or say, you know, i have the job gorks out there and play hard. Youve got nothing worry about. I think it just depends on your perspective on the situation and also job security is something you have for as long as you do your job well. Thats in any line of work, not just here. 12 home runs, 77 rbis a year ago for matt duffy. I clearly picked the wrong sport. I played basketball in college.
