Barry Bonds sounds relaxed and at ease in his new role as a hitting coach for the Miami Marlins.Hes also enjoying his close-up view of perhaps the best power hitter in the game.Giancarlo Stanton, Miamis 26-year-old slugger, has already surpassed 30 homers three times in his career, and he has a good shot to do it again in 2016.He could be the (Miguel) Cabrera of the young age to now, Bonds said before a game at Detroit last week. I like that -- Bryce Harper and those guys -- thats whats fun to see, thats what I like to see, with those younger guys. ... You see yourself in those kind of guys.You think, look back and like, `Wow, man, I remember those days and how hes learning, and look at all that talent. Hes fast and hes swinging the bat good, hes got pop. So many good things.The Marlins are having a nice season so far with Bonds and new manager Don Mattingly on their staff. Stanton and outfielder Marcell Ozuna -- who is a year younger -- are two players who have caught Bonds attention.Bonds says its important for players to discover how they can be successful as hitters, instead of worrying too much about what made him successful.They just have to understand themselves. They dont need to understand me. I was a different hitter than all of them, Bonds said. Its just trying to find the little things that work for them. My job is to find out what works for them.One thing Bonds didnt want to do was start talking about Stanton breaking his career home run record -- not at this stage, at least.I hope he stays healthy long enough -- let alone, forget that kind of pressure -- stays healthy long enough to have that opportunity, Bonds said.Here are a few other developments from around baseball:PITCHERS PLUSIt was a big week for pitchers who were asked to do more than just throw from the mound.In a 15-inning win at Cincinnati on Tuesday night, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon used three pitchers in left field. The Cubs ran out of position players, and relievers Travis Wood and Spencer Patton moved between left field and the mound in the 14th. Wood then finished the game with reliever Pedro Strop in left.On Thursday night, San Francisco kept Madison Bumgarners bat in the lineup instead of using a designated hitter, even though the game was in an American League park. Bumgarner went 1 for 4 with a double. Hes now hitting .182 on the season, but he does have two homers on the year and 13 for his career. The Giants beat Oakland 12-6.FANTASY FOCUSLucas Giolitos owners will be happy to know hes staying in Washingtons rotation for now. The Nationals reinstated Stephen Strasburg from the disabled list Sunday but also moved Joe Ross to the DL with right shoulder inflammation. That leaves a spot for Giolito, the 21-year-old who threw four scoreless innings in his debut June 28 against the New York Mets.Fantasy owners have had to be patient with the Nationals when it comes to Trea Turner, but Giolito is a prospect who is getting a nice opportunity now.LINE OF THE WEEKA tie between C.J. Cron of the Los Angeles Angels and Wilmer Flores of the Mets. They both went 6 for 6 with two home runs.Cron helped the Angels to a 21-2 victory over Boston on Saturday night, and Flores led the Mets over the Cubs 14-3 the next day.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap Jordan 3 Retro .

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. A-League boss Greg ORourke says there may be grounds to remove the fourth officials pitchside table following Michael Zullos sickening head collision at Allianz Stadium.The Sydney FC defender was lucky to escape unscathed after his head slammed heavily into the table on his way down from an aerial challenge during Saturday nights 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.The clubs medical staff sprung into action to treat Zullo, who lay still on the ground for several minutes soon after halftime.Replays showed hed been lucky to make contact with the tables smooth upper surface rather than the corner, which could have resulted in a serious head injury.The 28-year-old left-back was eventually given the all clear to continue, and soon delivered a spectacular throw-in to set up David Carneys controversial handball equaliser.ORourke said the accident disturbed him so much he rushed to the tunnel from the other other side of the stadium to check in with Sydneys football manager Terry McFlynn.ORourke said Football Federation Australia (FFA) would conduct a risk assessment of all A-League pitchside equipment to prevent any further incidents.Who knows what it could have beeen.dddddddddddd Head injuries are serious, ORourke told AAP.Well need now to do a risk assessment of all our equipment on the side of the field of play as a result of that.The last thing you want to see is that happen again, let alone potentially worse.Since the start of the league, FFA regulations have stipulated that the fourth officials table must be at least three metres from the field of play.According to an FFA spokesperson, it is often four or five metres back depending on the venue.After the match, Sydney chief executive Tony Pignata made immediate enquiries about removing the table from future games.ORourke also questioned whether it needed to be there at all.We now need to work out whether you can eliminate the table altogether, he said.Or at least amend it in such a way that if someone was to touch it ... it could be like what theyve done with the soft pads around TV cameras on the edge of the field.If its just a comfortable place to rest things including the interchange board, maybe we find another place for it.
